Food for Young Children.

1t is a common mistake for parents
to begin feeding their children solid food
too early, writes Helen w. Cooke, NJ
D.. in Good Housekeeping. For a child
under ii months it is much the safest
course to give no solid food at all. 1t is
true that many children seem to be able
to digest solid food at an early age, but
it Is also true that giving it at this period
IS frequently responsible for the digestive
disorders during the second year.
After the child is q year old it should
have some form of farinaceous food add
ed TO its milk diet. The best method is
10 make a Cruel of some cereal. for ex-
emple, oatmeal, if the child is inclined to
be e"nstipated, barley if its bowels are
inclined to be loose. and add this cruel.
after straining, to the baby's milk Beef
juice tmade by broiling piece of round
of beef lightly and squeezing the juice
from lO, may be added to the diet as
early rs the fourteenth month. Begin
with teaspoonful and gradually in
crease to two or three ounces at a time.
The child may take oranges and prune
juice as early as the fifteenth month,
and a little later strained prunes and
bakel apples without the skins Fruit

and should be given regularly after the

rhoea. After the eighteenth month. half

Giirls.

Not long ago in this department the
question of manners was touched upon,
the suggestions relating to the manners
of the girls themselves. There is anoth-
err side that still deserves mention. This
is that young women should be exacting
in the matter Of the manners of the
young men who are their companions.
Little lapseS of manner should not go
unrebuked. III an article in one of the
magazines last winter the story was told
of a French princess rebuke of the rude
playfulness of a distinguished writer.
He was guest in the drawing room of
the princess, and was enjoying a chat
with her when another gentleman joined
the group. TO away, you big jealous
person" said the first conner, I'VE don't
want you" the princess instantly re-
scented and rebuked the familiarity. She
rang for 4 servant, and on his appear
ance, said, grayely: Order NJ. Abouts
carriage. He does not dine here to-
night and NJ. About had nothing to do
but make his adieuX and pass out dinner
less and mortified 1t is admitted that
this rehuke was almost too radical, but
the incident will serve to emphasize the
care all women, and particularly young
women, should take to repress undue fa-
miliarity on the part of young men.
OF course it is conceded that the girl
requires a little courage sometimes. and
the young woman breads to give 0tfenSe
or to have herself dubbed naughty. but
this should net deter her from holding her
associates of the other sex TO the standard
of manners which she should set high.
Some young men have an abominabie
practice of touching a young woman UNI
warrantably; they will take her arm on
the street to help her over Il gutter or
up stair when there is not the least
need for the assistance. 1t is only ex-
cepti0nally expected nowadays that Il
man need offer his arm to a lady with
whom he is walking at night At dance
not long ago a young girl seated herself,
following waltz, in Il large armchair.
whereupon her partner perched himself
on the arm. Instantly the girl rose. and
not caring to say anything, rebuked him
by her look The young man also quick
~ stood up and begged her pardon. 1t is
safe to say that his manners will never
be lax IN the presence of that girl again.
Another girl at the same dance was no.
ticed permitting her partner to fam her
with her fan, which was attached TO her
belt by rather a short ribbon She should
have detached her fan and handed it to
him outright. There is not space in the
limits of this paragraph to multiply in
stances, only to sum up, girls that your
manners should not only be tlignifed in
themselves, but command dignity from
those around You. Many Young men err
through ignorance. and will be grateful.

Form of Profitable Feeder.

Prof. H. w. Mumford: The general
form should be low-set, deep, broad
and compact rather than high up,
gaunt, narrow and loosely made.
Stockers and feeders should be low
set or on short legs because animals
Of this conformation are almost in
variably good feeders and capable OF
early maturity. They should be deep,
broad and compact because this con-
formation indicates good constitution,
capacity for growth and of ultimately
producing relatively high percentage
Of the most valuable cuts. rhey should
possess straight top and underlines
which should be nearly parallel,
should be low at the TANKS, thus form
ing what we have spoken Of above as
good depth, for the barrel Of stockers
and feeders as well as dairy COWS
should be roomy. An animal which Is
too paunchy, however, is objection
able to the butcher. The matter OF
low TANKS should, believe, be en-
phasized, as it Is an almost unfailing
sign of good constitution and good
feeding quality.

No Poultry and Egg Trust.

There has been talk about poultry
and egg trust. The thing Is an abb
surdity at the present time, though 1t
may become a possibility in the fu-
ture, If there shall ever rise a trust
in farm lands. The cry Of trust was
based on the probable fact that the
packing companies had bought up
large quantities of poultry and eggs
and had stored them for a rise. 1t
was simply a speculation on big
scale. The owners Of flocks Of hens
are numbered by the millions and are
too numerous to have their product
controlled. Besides, under the slim
illus Of high prices to the farmers
the number of fowls in the country
could easily be doubled in a single
year. Unfortunately at the present
time it seems probable that the pro-
ducers of poultry are not getting the
benefit of the high prices being paid
by the consumers Of poultry and
poultry products. If that be 80, then
the high prices the consumers are
paying will not stimulate production,
and the present very unsatisfactory
state of things will continue. We
would like to hear from our readers
as to the prices they are at the pres.
ent time receiving for their poultry
and poultry products and a statement
as to the prices they have received
in past years.

Low.Headed Trees.

The tornado of last week preached
a sermon on the low heading of apple
trees. The writer was in the ORCH
ards Of the University Of Illinois the
next morning after the storm and
found large part Of the apple crop
on the ground. He said to himself:
"The Dunlap orchards at Savoy will
be q profitless investment this year,
as, without doubt, the 5000 trees there
have shaken off most Of their apples"
Great was his surprise, however, to
find that in the orchard Of winter ap-
pies at Savoy $1,000 trees), the loss
Tas slight. Here and there tree had
been uprooted on the edge Of the
orchard, but in the main the trees
were not only standing, but were hold
ing tGefr apples. The cause for this
immunity was apparent. The trees
were all of them headed low, so very
liw that many Of the branches touched
the ground. The wind could not get
under the trees, but was thrown up
ward wherever 1t touched this fruit,
ing forest. The umbrella-shaped tops
did not present good material for
the work Of the tempest. Evidently
little whipping was done by most Of
the branches, compared to what would
have resulted to high-topped trees.
Riding through this orchard, Sen
ator Dunlap said: There are four
distinct advantages in low heading
of apple trees. First, the wind can
not so we'll whip the apples from the
trigs. Second, the branches protect
the trunk against sunscald. Third, 1t
is easier to spray the trees. Fourth,
1t is easier to harvest the fruit. The
only objection to low heading is that
we cannot so well get under the limbs
to cultivate, but that Is not great
matter, as weeds and grass do not
grow very we'll in the shade anyway.
The objection does not by any means
Offset the advantages have named.
After harvest is over we will send
man through here with a scythe and
he will NOW the few weeds that are

Hard wheats Made MiIlable.

F. D. Coburn: Kansas Is virtually
the only portion of America producing
the famous hard red wheat in consid-
cradle quantities, in which as in many
other things, the state is unique. The
seed was first experimental with in
some of the central counties nearly
thirty years ago, being brought by
Mennonite immigrants from southern
Russia, near the Black Sea, who ap-
parently understood much better than
Americans its hardy productiveness
and real value. For years following
it's introduction 1t was disparaged by
American millers and grain-buyers,
made it so difficult to grind as to ma
terially lessen its market value. The
farmers, however, persevered in SOW
ing it and the production steadily In
creased, although they were COM
PEELED to accept in the markets from
ten to fifteen cents per bushel below
what buyers and millers were willing
10 pay for the softer and much better
known varieties yielding considerably
fewer bushels per acre. They per-
sistently argued that it was more
profitable to raise wheat that would
reliably yield them, one year with an
other, from eighteen to forty bushels
per acre, even though selling for but
rs cents per bushel, than to raise
crop selling for 80 or SIS cents per
bushel and yielding perhaps only
twelve to fifteen bushels. This, in
the course of few years, compelled
milers to devise ways and means for
more successfully and economically
this hard wheat into -four,
and there were brought into use de-
vices and processes for softening the
grain by steaming and moistening be-
fore grinding.

Follow the Leadlnas of Nature.

G. P. Goodrich: We must follow ma
ture. We have cut off the trees and
shrubs and destroyed, with the pillow,
the plants whose roots penetrated
deep in the ground. We must put on
some plants that will do the same
thing; that is, disintegrate the subsoil
and make the plant food available and
bring it to the top where our cult
waited crops can feed on 1t. There is
nothing better now known for this
purpose than clover or alfalfa.
would not cultivate the steep
side-hills. Let them grow to timber
and let nature keep on as she has
been doing, holding the soil from
washing and raising valuable
crop. We need great deal Of tim
Der and 1t will be more valuable year
by year. There is land enough that
is comparatively level, to cultivate. l
would not wait long after the land
was cleared or broken up before ]
sowed clover. 1t is very rare that
there is failure to get a catch on
such land. But great many men
seem TO think 1t is wasteful to SOW
clover on land before it gets poor.
remember some forty years ago,
when had just commenced seeding
to clover, was sowing some seed on
a field near the road, when a neighbor
came along and asked me what was
sowing told him clover seed.
"What?" he said, SOW clover seed on
this land! This is new and rich and
will raise good many good crops be-
fore you will need to SOW clover. l
would not SOW clover as long IS the
land would raise crop Of grain"
He waited till his land got poor,
with the humus all taken out of 1t,
before he sowed clover. Then he had
several failures before he got catch.
Many farmers, judging by their &C.
tons, think as this man did.

Macaroni Wheats.

Heretofore the hardy. CLASSY wheats
of the durum group have been re-
ceived with but little favor In this
country. Now, however. as a result
of the efforts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to establish
these wheats, there is being mani
tested a great change of opinion as to
their merits, in view of their probable
complete utilization In the future Tor
the manufacture of macaroni. In Eu-
rope they are called hard wheats ana
in this country they have not until
recently been sufficiently well known
to receive a special name. The term
macaroni wheat given to this class OF
wheat by the department Is becoming
rapidly adopted, and its application Is
already pretty we'll understood.
Among all wheats macaroni wheats
are the best adapted to regions OF In
tense heat and drought. During last
season these wheats had another ex-
cellent opportunity to show their su-
perior drought-resistance. In large
portions of the northwest, where the
ordinary wheat crop was almost an
entire failure, macaroni wheat pro-
duced very fair crop of grain that
was very little shriveled; while In
southwest Texas, where grain grow
ing has been uniformly failure. they
yielded well and produced grain OF
apparently excellent quality. 1t is be-
lieved that the thorough establish
ment of this new wheat industry will
be of greatest benefit to agriculture In
the semi-arid plains. A million or
more of acres can thus be given to
profitable wheat raising which on &C.
count Of drought have heretofore eita-
er been entirely idle or less profitably
employed. In few years time the re-
suit ought to be an addition OF thirty
to fifty million bushels to the annual
wheat production Of the Great Plains
alone. The agricultural area will be
extended much farther westward and
the necessity of irrigation will there
by be diminished correspondingly.
