The boy looked up with an express

words were spoken with fierce earnest

so tightly was roughly withdrawn.
The outcast crouched down beside
him in the attitude of a wild animal
ready to spring.

Soy beans should never be sown

good time to put the seeds In the
ground. If planted for seed. sow with
a grain drilk stopping up the holes SO

done with a special bean harvester II
the soil is soft enough to permit or

should be remembered that the stems
become tough and hard to cut as the

HAPPY MOTHERS
Whose Strength Equals Their
Love.

Few women if any shrink from the
passing pain of maternity. All they ask
is to feel the child's heart beating against
their own as they holdsit in strong arms
to the full fount from which il feeds.
How rarely the mothers strength keeps
pace with her love every woman knows.
Often the baby is laid against a breast
that cannot nourish it, and folded in
arms almost too weak to bear the tiny
burden. The woman who is strong and
whose abundant vitality enables her to
nurse her child and enjoy its care Is
looked upon as a marvel. She Is con-
