It is great mistake to think that DO.
cause a woman is domesticated she
must, in consequence, be dull, dowdy,
cld-fashioned, and altogether out Of tho
social sphere. A domesticated woman
need not be q mere domestic drudge,
whose thoughts and conversation are
confined wholly and solely to her house
hold duties, the servants and care Of
the nursery; who can take no interest
in art, literature, politics or society.
1t is quite possible, even in these days
of rush and hurry, as many women
have proved, to take personal and
practical interest in her home and be.
longings. and at the same time keep in
touch with the deeper. fuller life OF the
outside world. To look well after her
own household is the duty and should
be the pleasure of every woman. Even
those who have to leave the shelter Of
their homes to work in the busy world
outside-and what a number of re-
fined women have to do this In the pres
emit day-need not neglect their homes.
for it is not SO much time that Is neces-
sary for the smooth working of house
hold as thought, methods and punctual-
ity. If the machinery is put in good
working order, not much time will be
required to put it in motion each day.
Women's duties are varied as we'll a.
domestic, for it is duty rs well rs .
pleasure to move in pleasant society,
to keep up old friends, and make new
acquaintances-ad duty we owe to our
selves as well as to others, for none Of
us are meant for self alone. A domes-
ticated woman can fulfill these duties,
for, living In the calm and peaceful at
mosphere of q well-ordered home, she
has the time that the woman, who is
always rushing about and trying to do
everything, cannot command.
The truth is that the women who
lead lives of excitement and rush do so.
not because they really like 1t. but be-.
cause it is what they consider fashion,
able. If the tide were once turned.
they would gladly follow 1t, and, in
following it, would discover that their
lives were fuller and happier than in
the days when they ran about, breath
lessly. with complaints of no time, and

A great variety Of attractive and in

Which 10 the Best Breed for Smokehouse

Where there exists SO very much
honest and persistent diversity of opin-
ion among swine breeders touching the

the satisfaction Of all the readers of
the Swine-Breeder. But, notwithstand-
ing such conditions, it may not be
amiss to SO examine the matters sug-
gested and thereby set thinking ma
chimes in motion which may result in
practical experiments and resulting
progress.
In this article no breed or breeds will
mails for the purpose will be de-
scribed and the readers are left
to determine whether the ad-
herents of any one breed can sue
cessfully claim q pre-eminence for
their favorite, for it may be truthfully
said that between different animals OF
the same breed are often found as
radical opposites in good bacon pro-
ducing qualities as between those of
different breeds.
1t is not the intention to here dis
cuss the question as to whether the
best bacon producing animal is the
most profitable one, but to describe as
nearly as practical the essential quail
ties of the best bacon-producer In
such description color is not involved,

manding careful consideration. As is
doubtless well known, the bacon
pieces are obtained from the sides of
the carcass OF swine and the size and
construction of such pieces are mat
tiers which assist in answering the
conundrum under consideration.
The essentials for the production of
the best quclity of bacon are the rela-
tive proportion Of the fat to the lean
portions, the firnness OF the fat por-
tions, and the tenderness Of the lean
parts The lean portion consists OF
the muscles of the body passing along
the sides and belly. These muscles
were not created for the purpose of
making bacon. but to support the belly
and in some measure to assist in the
movements Of the internal organs. It
is 4 universal rule that the use of all
muscles develop their size. and . lack
of use causes them to perish. 1t is
equally true that the more animals
are upon their teet and in active mo-
ton the more such muscles will be in
use; and it is further true that all
swine have the same number OF mus
cles- 1t therefore follows that in q
long narrow body the side muscles
must be nearer together than in the
short. deep-bodied animals.
II is true that the width or thickness

ABOUT The HAIR.

FINE, scanty hair means weak de-

chi.dishness.
THIN eyebrows are a sign of apathy
and fabbishness- The nearer they are
to the eyes the more serious, profound
and social the character.
HAIR growing low on the forehead
signifies strong constitution and long
lived ancestry; peak coming down on
the forehead shows excellent powers Of
observation, honest purposes and .
fractions temper.
EYEBROWS gently arched signify the
modesty of a maiden; horizontally and
in straight line they show a vigorous
character; when horizontal for part
