Mni.t of tho Tailored order.

Simple shirt waists, of the tailored
order are smarter and better liked for
general morning wear than any other
sort. The attractive May Manton
model, shown in the large illustration,
includes several novel features, and Is
relieved of other severity without los
ing its essential characteristics. The
original is made of reseda green henri
eta cloth, with embroidered dots in
black, and is worn, with fancy stock
and belt of black Liberty satin, edged
with white; but French and Scotch
fiannels, plain henrietta, albatross. all
waist cloths, simple silks and washable
materials are appropriate
The foundation, or lining, Is snugly
fitted and terminates at the waist line.
The fronts OF the waist are tucked, in
groups of three each, which are
stitched to the depth OF generous
yoke, then allowed TO fall in soft, be-
coming folds; but the backs are tucked
for their entire length, and SO rendered
quite smooth and free of all gathers.
The sleeves are In regulation style.

Don't Use a Poor Brooder.

We raise poultry for fancy pur-
poses. also broilers for market We
raise from 1900 TO 2000 chicks each
year, and use the three makes of
incubators. | make all the outdoor
brooders that we use. Here Is where
most breeders make mistake. They
will pay $35 for an incubator and then
buy a So brooder. If anything, they
need better brooder than an ineu-
bator, for the secret in raising poultry
is in raising the young chicks.
We make brooder with an auto
matte regulator. All the brooders
have double walls with a dead air
space of one inch between them, so
with seventy-five or one hundred
chicks in them they don't require so
much heat to keep the proper temper
ature. My idea is independent brood
ers. Then If you should get some
disease in one of your broods. you will
not run the risk Of losing the entire
flock. There can be fifteen brooders
put on one acre and each brood kept
separate.-Bert Curry, in New Eng.

Feeding the Soil.

A soil can be termed fertile only
when it contains all the materials re-
luisite for the nutrition of plants in
he required quantity and in The
proper form. With every crop a part
If these ingredients is removed, and
t remains for nature and man to make
good this loss. Practical experience
mas proved that nitrogen, phosphorlc
acid and potash are the substances
most needed to be applied to soils to
make or keep them fertile. No crop
can be grown on any one OF these
elements If the other two are lacking.
Crops differ as to their individual
needs, but all are absolutely necessary
for full development.

First Step in Village Improvement.

First in order in activities of this
kind come cleanliness. Clean streets
and public places, clean private prem
ises-with these secured, the first great
transformation in the community takes
place. When nuisance breeding rub.
bish heaps are cleared away. and va.
cant lots covered with all sorts of lit
ter are cleaned up, everybody notes
the improvement and is interested Ia
seeing it maintained. Orderliness, of
course, goes hand in hand with clean
liness. The latter cannot be secured
with sooGS order And with good
order there is an aspect of neatness
that commands popular respect. 1t
pleases the public eye. Nearly every
body win desist from throwing rubbish
in well kept place, and from scatter
ing torn up paper, or other litter in Il
clean street. Public sentiment is easily
cultivated in favor of public cleanli-
of its growth Is to be found in the
agitation against splitting In public
places, since it was determined that
the practice was a danger to public
health. The posting OF notices with
regulations against it, and the fre-
Quent discussion or the subject in the
press, have made strong impression
upon public sentiment. and in conse-
quence the offense is not practiced to
anything like the same extent in COM
munities where there has been such
agitation.-Sylvester Baxter in the Cen

do with farming.

for colt to learn is that there is no

An effective way to join the fiounce

pattern is in a black and white scroll

also is introduced at the head of the

Of the methods of era-llcating it is to

loosen the soil Sow lawn grass seed

quantity of mixed fertilizer on the

How often from our very heart
We let cur anger rise,
And never mind the pleading looks
That come from soulful eyes;
We crush, we bruise, IN passions hour,
And scorn the falling tear;
Little things, oh. little things,
What sorrow wrought you here!
,, -
You count, oh yes, you little things,
You count, but not for gain;
You count to sadden trusting hearts,
You count for naught but pain.
You count as clouds in some ones sky,
You darken some ones day;
o cruel little deeds and words
We cant undo, unsayl
Then ever speak the kindly word
Instead of one of pride;
Twill Danish sorrow from a soul,
And anger turn aside.
Tho loving word and deed and glance,
Is borne on angel wings,
And angel voices echo true:
BE kind in little thingsl

then he'd laugh like n pleased boy.
And so IL came about that the folks
at Pimly and roundabout in Hoko
County came to talk about Peter Jeth-
son as Poor Pete" the women plying
Sophie and the men plying old man
Grant, who had given his pretty
daughter to a "half-wit"
1t was along in the spring when
everybody found out that Peter had
taken 4 ten-year lease on the Brown
son place adjoining his own untitled
acres. Mayor jenkins of Pimly voiced
the public sentiment about this trans
action when he said:
"Brownson has just took advantage
o pore Pete. Them hundred an sixty
acres o. his'n amt wuth two dollars
year. Won't raise nuthin' an ylt,
come t think. they can't raise no lcss'n
Pete's eighty"
Whereupon everybody laughed and
repeated Mayor Jenilns's joke. Then
the wags out Grants way began to
put up jobs on Jethson. They
would stop by and ask casually if he
wanted to lease any more land. and
when they realized that he was dead
in earnest about getting more acres,
that he wasn't particular about the
quality Of the land. so long as it was
near Pimly, and could be leased for
ten years or longer, they began to
get vague idea that "mebbe Pete
was up to suthin'." Then for a while

corners in Pimly and at intervals

Everybody round Pimly set up Il
laugh when Peter JethsOn and his
wife moved over on old man Grants
west eighty ana set up for farming.
Peter was always regarded as some
thing OF a joke in Hoke County, and
the fact that he had married Sophie
Grant. the prettieSt girl for miles
around didn't save him. He was a
sort of second cousin 10 the old mans
first wife, and, of course. when he
came to Kansas his klnsman took him
In.
The objections to him were good
natured but numerous. He was al
ways dressed up he had no more
knowledge Of horses, cattle and pigs
than Kansas City dude. and for the
first year Of his life in Hoke County
he didn't do anything but court
Sophie. Old Grant never would have
agreed to it If he didn't know that his
son-in-law-elect "had money" for the
youth was quite worthless from 4
bucolic point Of view, and after six
months trying to interest him in farm
ing the old man gave in with:
well, ye kin have her. Pete, but
goll darn ye. how you all goln' TO
make out?"
Peter grinned quietly, saying,
"Guess We won't starve," and went
away to tell Sophie. They We're mar

How often In our busy life
We speak bitter word;
We care not who the listeners are,
We care not where tbs heard
We do not know within our hears
To what it may amount,
And truly, 1t is only one
OF little things that count.
We often wound the trusting heart
BY being insincere.
We do not think that which we do
May cause lonely tear.
We give it but a passing thought,
And bother not about
The little things that rise and cause
The trusting heart to doubt.
We often wrong within ourself
The ones who love us true,
Because they tell ia of fault;
We're all impatient, too,
And do not down the angry words
That to our lips may mount,
But watch and wait It's only one
OF little things that count.
