LADIES' COLUMN .
THE MOTHERS BEST.

One of the most important lessons,
and yet one Of the hardest, for busy
mother to learn, is what not to do. 1t
is great pity for the mother of little
children, who has but little help and
moderate means, to become so alb
sorbed in the petty details Of her
housekeeping and children that she
has neither strength nor energy
for her own pleasure, reading and
mental development. 1t is certainly
serious mistake for her to grow
rusty and lose her interest in the things
that her children are getting ready
to enjoy. 1t is no uncommon sight to
see women broken down in the prime
of life, just when they ought to be
able to enter into the work and pleas
ures of their children.
Sometimes this comes from neces-
sity, but more often from a lack of
Judgment in not knowing what can
be left undone. No doubt every one
Of these women would say that she
could not have done otherwise, and
gestiOn that the rooms need not be
busted every day, or the windows
not washed just SO often, or every bit
of mending not done by Saturday
night. No one would be the worse if
some of the work were less we'll done,
or if the children's clothes were plain
er or the meals simpler. Far be it
from me to encourage laziness or
carelessness, but let each mother
economic time and strength, in order
to keep rested, we'll and strong, so
that she will have health, intelligence
and enthusiasm to give to her chill
dren. Work with them play with
them, read with them and go out of
doors with them, and learn for your
selves some of the wonderful things
that Dame Nature is doing, even in
your own backyard. 1t is far better
that we mothers practice all the econ
omies possible than be overtasked so
we. cannot give the best of ourselves
to our children. Do we realize the
esponsibility?-GO housekeeping.

CRILDREN'S TABLE MANNERS

Until taught, children are likely to
lean over the plate and crook their
arms, and this often becomes a life
long habit; one not only uncouth, but
highly annoying to neighbor In
old fashioned books of etiquette.
where one is even told how to breathe,
we are warned to wipe our mouths
before drinking. The untidy tumblers
of children would lead one to advise
care in wiping the fingers as we'll
Nowhere else can child make him
self such a nuisance as at the table.
Children are always hungry, and
nothing so quickly reduces one to
quite the condition of a savage as
hunger. Self control and moderation
IN any respect must not be expected
in children to the same extent it
ought to be found in adults. They
have not been trained and disciplined
by life, and it would be the rose before
the bud to find child with the self
mastery of mature age. Even if it
were possible we should not like it.

grown people have for the little ones.
Indeed they always seem to require
more Of children than they do of
the mselves. This is especially true
in regard to children's behavior at
the table.
[ have little sympathy with the old
saying that "children should be seen
not heard, ESPECIALLY at meal time.
OF course they ought not to monopo-
lie conversation; that is ill-bred in
an adult. But it is the very best
training for after life to acquire in
childhood ease and self-possession IN
eating, talking and listening. We
should not have so many ''still sad
feeders" as Oliver Wendell Holmes
calls them, if children were not undu-
ly repressed at the meal hour.-Good

STIR THE SOIL.

At a recent farmers institute in
Maine, Prof. G.. M. Goodwill Of the
university Of Maine began by saying
that the general opinion had gone
abroad that the soil of the state of
Maize was not fertile, and unproduc-
tive, but the chemist had proved that
was not the case by analysis Of the
soil from various average Maine
farms, and in every case it had been
found to produce maximum crops for
an almost unlimited number of years;
the reason why good crops were not
produced lay in the fact that these
ingredients were in such composition
that while the chemist could easily
find it the plant was unable to do so;
the farmer must, therefore, till the
soil in such a manner that those plant
foods would be available to the plant;
this must be done by turning the soil
and allowing the air to circulate freely
through it. The same thing must be
said of many worn out farms else
where in New England, but in many
there is a need for returning to the
soil a supply of organic matter, which
was abundant when the land was
newly cleared. This, by it's decay in
the soil, not only adds fertility, but
makes it more porous that air may
penetrate into it, and helps to make
available the mineral elements in it.
Where the farm is remote from large
cities and not much stock is kept, the
easiest and cheapest way to obtain
this organic matter is to grow green
crops to pillow under. For this pur
pose clover stands at the head, where
it will grow, but peas, buckwheat, rye
and other green crops may be used
