Training Children.

Mothers. how are you training
your children? Undoubtedly, YOU
are doing the best that YOU know.
You love them as no one else can, you
wish them to be happy. You are
willing to make any sacrifice of your
own pursuits to crafty their desires.
You wish them to tind home the hap
piest place in the world, and mother,
the best friend. This can truly be
said of some mothers.
Yet there are mistakes into which
the most loving and self-sacrihcing
mothers are most apt to fall. Their
very devotion defeats their aim.
They do too much for their children
and make too little demands of SER
vice from them. When mother
does too much for her children she
sinks into a convenience to them.
She should never do for them what
they can do for themselves More
than that. she should require services
and attentions from them for herself.
1t is through their devotion to her
that she keeps a stronger hold on
them than in her devotion to them.
The more she becomes a convenience
to them. the more they take it as
their right and demand it of her, and
the less they value her services and
the less she will be in their estima-
ton. This IS one reason why some
parents are held as "back numbers
and of little account by their child

rem when they grow up 1t is a
source of ingratitude in children. II
is often easier for mothers TO do
things for children than TO train them
to do for themselves. but ease is not
what the true mother is seeking.
To teach a child self-reliance, to
think that he must make an effort TO
he useful to others. to feel that the
comfort and pleasure Of others is
quite As important as his own, are
lessons that stand him in good stead
IN after life. Petted children OF de-
voted mothers seldom appreciate
what is done for them. They grow
selfish aud with exaggerated ideas OF
their own importance and expect
everyone to yield to them. They ac-
quire domineering habits and I'M
obliging dispositions. All these
qualities bring them many a hard
Knock in life. Self-reliance, an idea
that they have to do. instead OF be
done for, will be a far better help to
them on their way in life. A child
brought up to be capable OF doing
for himself and his parents, will be
more appreeiative of what is done
for him; he will value mother love
higher. He will make the more use
full and happier man.
The earlier this kind OF training is
begun the better for the child aud the
better for the mother.

Farmers in the vicinity of Nc

of the large number of young hogs
which are dying and can give no rea-

die shortly after they are born and
the farmers are in quandary. The
probabilities are that hogs will be
very scarce IN that vicinity this fall
unless some remedy can be suggested
ere long.
