The secret of "getting along" with

The secret of "getting along' with
children is to applyto 51e m the or
binary rules of social life. The parent
who romps with his children, and in
a few minutes whips one of them for
not addressing him as 'sir," need not
be surprised if his children avoid his
society, writes DR.. A. L. Benedict in
the February Woman's Home Com
pa1aion. One of the commonest laws
of social decencyis not to quote Latin
to person who is known never to
have studied the classics. Precisely
the same discourtesy is committed if
we use words of many syllables in
conversing with children; but we
commit still greater discourtesy in
either case by assuming with an air
of patronage that the unclassical
adult or the child has no ideas in
common with our superior selves.
The child of five and the man or wo-
man of fifty are surprisingly alike in
their interests, and they may con-
verse with mutual advantage upon
an endless variety of subjects.

Do Mr.. and Mrs. Wickelson, the

but we are not disturbed in the least.
My husband always permits me to let
a protest.
Rhyno tells me he has gone out of
politics entirely. That's true. Polit-
ically speaking, he was on the fence,
and when the ward healers began
pulling leg on each side it was more
than he could stand.

OUR FARMERS.
IMPROVING DAIRY HERDS.

The simplest method Of improving
live stock, is by the system known as
sup grading" accompanied by rigor-
Gus selection, says Professor Thomas
Shaw. The beginner may use such
material as he has on the DAMS side
in laying the foundation of his dairy
herd. In adding to it by purchase he
may choose the commonest of COWS,
as long as they are of fair size and
possessed of average dairy form.
This will again be referred to. It
matters not if they have the blood of
a dozen herds. This want of domin-
ance in any particular line of blood
will only render them more suscepti-
BILE to being quickly improved. But
in choosing sire the utmost care
should be exercised. He should be
chosen from the breed that is best
adapted to the conditions of the dairy
man, especially those conditions that
relate to food production. He should
be purely bred, as guarantee of the
transmission of the character sought,
and he should be of good form and
vigor as a guarantee of prepotency.
The first will secure the transmission
of the dominant character of the indi-
vidual. And it is greatly important
that the sires thus chosen shall be
decended from animals that have been
good performers in the dairy. The
sire descended from a line of dams
noted for generous milk production is
likely to be far more valuable than
the one not SO decended. And it
should not be forgotten that high per-
formances at the pail in the near an
cestry is far more important than the
same in remote ancestry.

THE FARMERS SEASON OF
MEDITATION.

Cold and inclement weather sends
the present day farmer to the house

ton of muscular activities does not
mean progressive, successful farmer
absolute merton, but rather the
opportunity for mental activities.
Meditation is not always a pleasant
occupation, for self examination, if
one is honest with himself, reveals
things which ought to have been done.
1t is well to sit down and think, but
don't let the cogitations be of the
failure of last year, of the poor crops,
of the rains that came at the wrong
time, of the drouth that ruined the
corn and dried up the pastures of the
hogs that died and of the so many
things that were failures.
True, difficulties must be recognized,
that is the initial step to success, but
the will to surmount and plan to meet
them is what brings desired results.
study the farm. Plan for the crops
as to kinds, then as to what field will
give the best results and largest yields.
The best seed must be secured; where
this can be procured, if it was not
raised, is the most important factor
in the plan for good crops. The man
ner Of filth must be considered, as
well as the best machiners to be used.
The fertilizing problems will not down.
If the manure is rotting down the
barn where it ornaments (?) its sides

to wade knee deep in the barnyard,
carefully consider the best DISPOSE

farmer who regards the Importance
of details will not dream this winter
