FOR THE FLOWER GARDEN.


The farmer who feels that be cannot
spare the few cents necessary TO buy
some flower seeds or few plants is
taking life much harder than is neces-
sary. A small investment in this line
will do more toward making the home
life pleasant for the women and chill
dren than ten times the investment in
anything else. Here Is a plan TO make 81
supply a wealth Of flowers from mid
summer until the late fall. Invest fifty
cents in seeds Of dwarf nasturtiums,
tAunbergias, sweet alyssum. candy
tiff and morning glories, all simple
seed varieties, but furnishing an album
CGace Of bloom during the summer and
in considerable variety. Then with tho
balance Of the sum buy geranlums, q
few bulbs Of gladiolus and a few
roots of cannas. Set the Gamma roots
in the middle Of bed ten feet across
and the geranuims about the edge two
feet apart and fill in between them
with plants Of the dwarf nasturtums
which your wife or daughter has raised
from the seeds. The result will be a
bed of foliage and Towering plants
raised from The seeds mentioned above,
except the morning glorles, which can
be trained over strings or wires along.

ABOUT SALADS.

Nothing is more decorative on the
table than a bit Of salad served in the
heart Of some lettuce leaves, in lemon
or orange cups cabbage leaves or
scoOped out onions, cucumbers, toma.
toes, beets, turnlps or peppers. Celery
salad, plain or mixed with apples or
nuts or a plain lettuce salad, is served
always with game.
Potato salad is perhaps the most
popular for the home table, and Moth
Ing seems to take the place Of nice
chicken salad for social affairs.
Every housewife who wants the fac.
tor of satisfactory life to abide in
her family will seek to include q salad
in at least one menu each day. A leaf
salad, cress or lettuce, should be served
with heavy dinner.

BEAUTY OF EXPRESSION.

It is often the plain men and women

due to the fact that their play and

THE REASON WHY.

When Bobby was a country boy he had
the greatest fun,
With naught to do the livelong day, be
lived out in the sun.
He rolled upon the grass, and he sprawled
beneath the trees,
His clothes were old, his stockings, too,
had extra double knees
He grew as sturdy as could be, his hands
and face grew brown,
His mother said, You'll lose your tan
when we go back to town"
When Bobby was a city boy he had to go
to school,
And study, oh! so very hard, when days
and nights grew cool.
His breakfast he would hurry through, and
off to school would race.
His mother said, Il b'lieve you haven't
taken time to wash your face"
And Bobby, growing very red, yet spoke
up like a man,
I'm 'fraid to wash my face, mamma, for
fear III lose my TAM

Ny dear child, you will soon be at an
age when you will think a young man
is Gods own masterpiece.
Several Of these masterpieces, small

but take my advice and don't be too
hasty.
1t is only very foolish girl, my
dear, who gets engaged the very first
proposal she has.
No-wait awhile! Every proposal
you have will be more interesting than
the one preceding 1t.

who tells in fine language the emo
tons of his heart. He has been there
many, many times before.
Beware, little girl, of the fellow who
thinks that kiss is all that is needed
to speak bis affection. For verify,
such men are as sands of the sea.
Watch out also for the generation of
hatterers who think they have all
women down fine.
But when some dear boy comes
along, who stammers and bushes, and
blurts out queer sentences, then is the

truly in love with you; so show him

Prudent Farmer who Started with

and Owns and Manages H.
900 Acres OF Land.

The state of Missouri has the dis

as citizen the most extensive indi-

not in the civilized world. He is Da-
Vid Rankin, of Tarkio, Mo-, the owner
OF Ia ranches, including more than 3D.
600 acres of as fine black soil as the
sun ever shone on. The New York Sun
says: Mr.. Rankin is the largest stock
feeder in the world. He buys more
corn than any other farmer in the
United States, and most of it is fed to
stock on his farms. Besides the ex-
tensive farming operations, Mr.. Ran
kin is interested in many other enter
prises. In appearance he is typical
farmer. He is six feet two inches tall
and weighs $50 pounds. Each day ne
rides over his farms ard gives orders

out of mud hole or TO build shed
to protect tat porker from the rays

the men employed on his farms as a
housewife is with her domestic duties.
To the person who has never visited
the Rankin farms the problem of car
rying on the work seems to be a great
task, but the system is SO thorough
and complete that the management is
easy.
MIR. Rankin owns about $4,000 acres
OF land; besides this he leases consid-
