FOR PEACE IN THE HOME
In Its Interests There Should Be q
System of Equal Consid-
Grafton.

A mother should be perfectly impair
tial in the treatment of her children II
there IS to be peace in the home. Prob
ably one of her children will be dearer
to her than the rest-the youngest or
the eldest, the cleverest or the most
loving-but if she is a good mother,
says the American Queen, she will
never betray by a word or look this
natural preference.
Children are ~passionately jealous, and
have normally a strong sense of right
and wrong. Nothing causes more pain
to the little one than the sense of be-
ing misjudged, misunderstood, unfairly
treated. Half the quarrels and bicker-
ings between brothers and sisters in
after life are due to the seeds of discon-
tent sown in childhood by the unwise
favoritism shown to some member of
the family by one or both Of the parents.
Treat them all alike" is a golden
rule; boys and girls all on one footing.
Not one rule of conduct for the girls and
another for the boys. Show no Partially
in their clothes, their food, their pocket
money, their holidays, and, as far as in
dividual differences permit, in their edu-
cation.
In many families the girls are taught
to look up to their brothers, to wait on
them, to give in to them, to take an
altogether secondary place, The boys
are mothers darlings, and can do no
wrong. Such a system inevitably makes
the boys rude, ~ill-mannered, selfish and
Objectionable, as well as robbing the
girls Of their natural, healthy indepen-
dence of character, If a perfect equal
ity cannot be maintained between the
boys and girls, then the boys should be
the ones to give in to their sisters, and
should be trained to do so in a gentle,
chivalrous manner,
The influence of a mother is incalcu-
able, and it is a significant fact that al
most all our great men confess the Sc
cret of their greatness to be the lessons
they learned at their mothers knee, and
it is even more significant that men and
women who have left the world wiser,
happier or better than they found it
have not been the spoiled favorites of in
dulgent mothers, but on the contrary
have been brought up with old-tash-
Toned severity.

While symmetrical proportions in
whatever animal form are pleasing TO
The eye, they really occupy a more i'm
p~ortant Office in that they are a true
Indication of utility, Perhaps no more
apt Illustration of his truth can be
pointed to than an incident which oc-
CURED at the 81. Louis show grounds.
In ithe class for championship of fat
barrows over one year, there was a
fairly good showing, which included
only winners of first honors in each of
the different breeds. The competition
was quickly narrowed down to a POI
land China, a Berkshire and a York
shire, the final decision being in favor
of the Poland-China.
At the conclusion, Judge Ferguson
gave his reasons for this disposition of
the ribbon, and in these remarks were
included information as to the general
character of hog demanded by 1.-THE
packer that should be kept in view by
farmer and breeder alike, He eX-
planned that the winning hog excelled
in having more even side and back
lines and a more uniform covering OF
flesh, less thickening of front Shout
der, less fabbinee1 in belly and flank,
better spring of rib, deeper ham, and
a makeup that made u carcass which
promised to cut up to better advantage
and with a lesser proportion of waste
than did the Others, He called atten-
ton to the importance of a straight or
slightly arched back, and gave his
objections to a back that humps over
the loin. His one criticism was that
the animal lacked in length, and this
criticism was mainly in line with ting
ideas of breeders present. o.;
The quick-growing and early-matur-
ing hog, that which is most. likely to
please the eye by its sm%oothness and
ever proportions, is the one that cor-
mands the highest price at the mar
kets.-Twentieth Century Farmer.

HUSTLING...
The Hustler, lie He Tanker, Mcr'
chant or Farmer, is the Nan
who Gets Things.

A little book, whieh'one of our banks
Is distributing as an advertisement,
mas a number of proverbs scattered
through its pages, II Of which says:
"All things come to him who waits,
but a cholcer collection may be had
by going after them" The meaning
is that while one is waiting for the
SLOW process of time to bring around
his share, the hustler has gone on
ahead and secured the best. This is
urue in all things, and as much so in
dairying as in anything else The man
who is satisfied to go along with his
l25 pounds of butter, per COW, per an
nun, is just as certain to fall behind
his neighbor, who keeps 250-pound
COWS, as anything can be, and so is
the waiter in all lines. The keep
ing OF 125-pound COWS or growing min
imum crops of cotton or wheat or hay
is Just simply la2iness, and is not to
be excused on any other grounds. If
one man can make a bale of cotton
to the acre by good farming there
is no other name that will apply TO
his neighbor who only makes a half
bale per acre, SO well as lazy.
1t is true he may do lots of manual
labor, and he may be considered by
his ne,ghbors to be Industrious, but
the fact that he does NOT make as
much as his neighbor- shows that he is
lazy in his thinking department, i.
1t Is surprising how slow farmers
are about changing their methods. One
man will make a bal6,o of cotton to- the
acre. and his neighbor with adjoining
farm make only half a bale. One
thinks as we'll as. works. t~TtHiother
only works. One succeeds. The other
does not. The Il is constantly i'm
proving. The other stands still.
Why IS it that with his successful
neighbor as an example he does not
copy him? Simply because he prefers
to qwais." He is not a hustler"
" The hustler not only goes after
"things;' but is constantly on the
lookout for near cuts. When he finds
that a certain amount Of feed will
make a half pound of butter fed to inc
class of cows. and that it win make
q pound if fed to another class, he
does not wait. for a more convenient
time. but Immediately ~disposes Of the
poor producers and invests in the bet
ter class.
The worst Of the matter is that very
few of us are hu5tler5. We need walk

FIGURES OF SPEECH MIXED
Ludicrous Results of Careless Use of
Phrases Among English Par
liamentary Orators.

London Tit-Bits relates: British ora
| tory seems to have no distaste for
mixed figures Of speech. Various bulls"
of this sort have often been laid at the
door of members Of parliament. Here
are some modern instances OF parlia-
mentary lapses Of this sort;
"Sir, we are told that by this legisla-
ton the heart of the country has been
shaken to its very foundations"
Among the many Earring notes
heard in this house on military affairs
this subject at least must be regarded
as al oasis"
The interests OF the employers and
employed are the same nine times out
of ten-I will even say ninety-nlne times
out of ten"
Our tongues are tied, our hands are
fettered and we are really beating the
air to no purpose"
Il will now repeat what | was about
to say when the honorable member in
terrupted me-"
"The West Indies will now have a
future which they never had in the
past"
"a thorny subject which has long
been a bone of contention among us"
"A slumbering volcano which at any
moment a spark might set ailame.'
THE honorable member would de-
nude us of every rag Of the principles
which we have been p|roclaiming from
the housetops."
"Ah! The honorable member opposite
shakes his head at that. But he cant
shake mine"
Barristers are usually credited with
possessing accuracy of speech, but some
expressions recently reported indicate
that they are capable of a laundering
use Of words. A member of the bar, in
his opening speech for the defense, said:
Gentlemen of the jury, the ease for
the crown is a mere skeleton, for, as |
shall presently show you. it has neither
flesh, blood, MOI bones in it."
A ~well-known member of parliament
informed the house that an "oral agree
ment is not worth the paper it is written
on"
But a Leeds solicitor outdid his com
p%etitors when he said ~fervidly: Cen
tlemen of the jury, it will be for you to
say whether this defendant shall be al
lowed to come into court with unblush-
ing footsteps, with the cloak of hypoc-
risy In his mouth, and take three bull
locks out of my clients pocket with i'm
punity."

ed States government has three expert
men In the field at Colorado Springs,
Col. Close to the city they have es-
tablished nurseries and they have col
lected and planted the seeds which
with growth will replace the fallen and
burned timber on Pixies Peak and the
adjacent range Of the Rockies. The
work may cover a period Of 20 years
and 1t is estimated the expenditure
Will approximate $500 900.

CONSUMERS AND FRESH.EGGS.
BcSet Confidence In the Fresbpe
of our Offerings, and n Good
Market IL Assured.

Fresh eggs sell at all seasons and In
all markets. Cold-storage eggs, or
those that are picked in brine or lime,
do not interfere with the prices of
strictly fresh eggs. Consumers, how
ever, do not always know where TO buy
the best, and many of them, in order to
procure strictly fresh eggs, are satis-
fed when they can get them from
some "old farmer" But even the "old
farmer" Is not always wiser than the
customer, allowing Tor producing them
himself with the aid Of the hens, as
some "old farmers buy eggs, or bring
them TO market Tor their %neighbors.
There is a great deal of faith" in
buying eggs, and much depends on
confidence" and from whom they are
purchased. When the markets are
well supplied, the least desirable goods
brings very low prices, 1t is then that
the poultrymen Ventiiates his opinion
of the commission merchant, and
charges him with many sins that
should be laid at the door of the poul-
tryman himself. If everything sold
in the market depended on quality,
much light woUu be thrown on the
business of buying and selling. The
farmer has many advantages, how
ever, if he only will use them, If he
had a. reputation as n who made a
practice Of selling choice poultry and
eggs, he would soon find the commits
sion merchants seeking his articles,
and they would compete with each
other in the cndeayor TO secure his
trade. It would require some extra
time and labor Tor the farmer TO es-
tablish this reputation, but that is no
more than is required of men engaged
in any other industry. Make a repu-
%tation, however, and it will last for
life, or as long as the farmer main
tains it. Prices can lie. kept up by
quality, and if me. merchant quotes
one price, the farmer can demand
more. There are always two in a bar
gain, and the n who has the adyan-
tage will dictate the price. The mer-
chants who sell eggs know that the
customers are willing TO pay extra
prices for fresh eggs, and that they
frequently judge Of the quality of eggs
by the prices asked; the merchants,
also, when fresh eggs are scarce, m
times select the hest on hand, and add
from two to five cents on the price. II
they did not do so, the customer would
not buy them. This shows that the
customers are willing TO pay something
extra for a good article, and they will
pay the extra price more willingly to
the farmer than they will to the mer-
Chant.-Farm and Fireside.
