FOR THE YOUNG WIFE.

Don't forget that, though it is some
times difficult to win mans love. 1t is
more difficult to retain It.
Don't under any circumstances speak
of your husbands faults or failings-
You have faults and failings, too.
which you would very much object to
having discussed by strangers.
Don't, when a man comes home tired
from business, tell him of all your trials
during the day. OF course you have
them; so does every housewife and he
knows it.. But he doesn't want you to
talk about worry and annoyances
when he is tired.
Don't forget that before you were
married you tried your best to look at
tractive. 1t is just as essential to keep
this practice up now that you arc
married. In fact, ii is more so.
Don't be gIum and solemn. Be cheer
full and entertaining even If you have
to make an effort to do so. A man
needs to be entertained at home. or he
will seek such entertainment at his
club.

By the way, have you noticed that
pale compilations are now the style?
You didn't know that there were styles
in complexion Oh, yes, indeed, and
they change like those in hair. If you
don't believe me, go out on the streets
and look for yourselves Last year ev-
erybody, or nearly everybody, had pink
cheeks. Now all the really swagger wo-
men are absolutely pale, with clearly
defined eyebrows andncloudy masses of
hair. 1t is a style which is much more
becoming to the middle aged woman,
for she can't rouge; there is too much
of contrast between her skin and the
youthful blush which she imparts to it.
1t is only the very young woman who
can stand artificial color, because it
blends well with her velvety, fresh
complexion. However, thank goodness,
there is no need of anything more of
that sort, and the paler you now are
the better. Ill let you into a secret.

who have rudy compilations have pur-

apply before adding a busting of the

What to Read.

Read the good old books that have
lived and held their own by the vital
ity of matter and style that makes
them standards. Don't read lot Of
new books about the Bible. Read the
Bible, and then you will understand
what you may afterward read about
the Bible. Read Shakespeare, not con-
troversies on Shakespeare; read Scott
and Thackeray and Dickens and George
Eliot. Do not be content with a short
history of literature that tells you their
best works and makes few discon-
nected extracts and tells yOu1 their
standing and what you should think
of them.
Read intelligently and with interest,
and every book you read will guide
you to the next that is good for you
personally far better than a strange
mentor can do, who is often full OF
theories and prejudices or perhaps has
got up course of study as pot boil
er" and has no real love of his subject.

Pasturing Sorghum.

During the time the Kansas station
has been pasturing sorghum several
reports have been received Of cattle
dying in ten Or fifteen minutes from
the time they entered the sorghum
patch, but in every case where we
have been able to get details the cattle
have eaten the sorghum in empty Or
nearly empty stomachs, says Professor
D. III. Otis. Cattle should have their
stomachs so we'll filled that they feel
completely satisfied before touching
the green sorghum and then should be
allowed to eat it only few minutes at
time until they are accustomed to it.
If sorghum can be pastured successful
ly, as the Kansas experiment station
has done, it means that the dairymen
and stockmen can get an immense
amount of pasture from q small area,
which is available at a time when the
other pasture is getting short and dry.
Pasturing will also be the most eco
nomical way of utilizing sorghum. The
man that turns his cattle in sorghum
field, however, must realize that he
may be taking risks. He must weigh
the evidence for and against it's use
and then decide for himself if the ben
efits outweigh the risks.

Insects and " Rays.

4 writer in The American X Ray
Journal tells of some unusual expert
ments upon insects with Roentgen rays.
A box was made, half of wood and
half Of sheet lead. In the wooden half
a number of Larvae Of flies, bees bee
ties and other insects were placed, and
the box was then put in the field Of the
X rays. The insect colony at once be-
came greatly excited, and after crawl
ing to and fro finally emigrated to a
worm to the leaden half of the box,
where the rays could not penetrate.
The experiment was repeated many
times and always with the same result
A similar experiment was tried with
the blind larvn Of a certain species of
beetle. A number of them were placed
in an open cigar box, which also con-
tanned a metal box with an opening.
No sooner were the rays turned on
than the insects showed signs of dis
tress. Their uneasiness increased, and
in a little while they all sought refuge
in the metal box. AS the larvae in the
second experiment were entirely sight
less their perception of the rays must
take place through the nerves of the
skin

Whether you intend to try winter
dairying Or depend simply upon sum-
mer dairying, it is necessary to have
good pasture through the summer, and
in the late summer and autumn it is
necessary to help the pasture out, says
w. Conway of Indiana in American
Cultivator. This is simpler than many
imagine. Sometimes it simply means
fencing off portion Of the field, so the
grass has a chance to grow while the
COWS are feeding on the other part.
Constant daily cropping in hot, dry
weather kills the grass and keeps the
plants from ever getting any Roadway.
If the pasture field is sufficiently large,
fence part of it off in August and in
this way keep it green and healthful.
Also be sure that the weeds and briers
are kept cut down. Do not let any Of
these go to seed. Their spread will
ruin a pasture lot quicker than any
thing. The cows do not disturb the
weeds and briers, and consequently
they have the opportunity to grow and
thrive while the grass has not. AT
least give the latter a fair chance in
the race

thirty foot lengths. The ends Of the
wire are run through a 4 by 4 timber,
the timber turned half over and wire
fastened by twisting the ends around.
Through these timbers are run three
bolts with nuts fore drawing them to-

The openings for taking out tha en-

inches, which would make the opening
IS by "A inches. There are three Of
these openings, one between each band,
there being four bands around the silo.
They are cut on the bevel, with the
longer sides inside, so the pressure of
the ensilage will hold them in place.
The lumber in this silO cost $12, the
four foot woven wire fencing $3.50 and
the twelve bolts $1.2O, Or total Of $50.
The cost of labor is not taken into con-
sideration. 1t required one and half
days to build it. This is Of about thir-
ty-six ton capacity and was built for
eleven COWS.
