Mr. Worthington that they should be

Football for a Husband.

= Until early in the nineteenth century
it was a very ancient custom practiced
at Inverness for the spinsters to meet
the matronS in an annual game or
football. All the available women took
part and the men surrounded the play
ers and urged on their sisters, wives
and sweethearts in their struggle, di-
recting their efforts by word of mouth
and encouraging the exhausted to
struggle on and secure the much
coveted prize. The honors of these un-
usual combats, strange to say, rested
more often with the married than the
single, for the men selected their
wives from those who showed most
proves and endurance on the football
field. Hence all the better players
we're mated and frequently more than
a match for the less tough and skillful
maidens, though the latter fought like
the knights of old for the lady OF their
choice and to the death. A strange
reversal Of positions, which doubtless
had it's compensating advantages when
domestic differences arose between a
tyrannical husband and his former
football consort.-N. Y. Herald.

Razor Back Cows.

We frequently hear of razor back
hogs" and we have razor back" Cows
as we'll, here in Georgia; gaunt. crea-

horns and shaky limbs. Their quail
ties as butter cows may be judged by
the following true tale: A gentleman
of Brunswick, Ga, who kept a small
dairy business, had the misfortune to
have a fine young cow gored. Wishing
to isolate her from the other COWS UNI
til the wound could heal, he carried
her out to his farm, and left her in
charge of the overseer, telling him that
he and his wife might use the milk
while she was there. In a little while
he received word that the cow was
we'll, and he went for her. You found
her a good mixer he said to the
man, as he looked his pet over with
pride. "Waal-yas sir" replied the fell
low obviously. Il suppose you and
Mrs. Cone have enjoyed the milk and
butter?" WAL, no, sir, to tell you
the truth, Mr.. Row-her milk amt

to make them respondent to the slightest
pebble OF the least noticeable rut in the
roadway.
Did YOU eve ride over an Irish road
in an Irish jaunting carr" asked DR.. Jo-
seph B. De Lee as a return question. "Or
over a corduroy road in Wisconsin, hold
ing with both hands to the rail of a buck
board seat? Probably when some of the
present babies of the gocart have grown
to these adult experiences they may get
an idea of some former existence from
the jaunting car and the blackboard. Ger
tainly one may imagine the babes get
ting about the same relative shaking up
from the gocart.
THE menace of the gocart, l should
say, would be in putting babies into it
before they are old enough to sit up
properly. 1t would be impossible to give
a positive age limit at which babies may
be put into such a cart, for the reason
that such babies at eight months old
are more able to sit up than are others
that are a year and a half old. In gen.
eral, however, a baby should not be put
into one of these carts until it is one
and one-half or two years old.
This is not to say that a child will
be thrown out of shape because of a little
riding in such a vehicles; in all probable
ity it's greatest suffering would come
from the shaking up it would receive in
the beginning. At the most this would
reflect upon the nervous condition OF the
child and keep it awake when it should
be asleep. But if the human body at
any stage of its development were so
susceptible to gocart postures as to crook
spine and thighs and bones of the pei
Wis, there wouldn't be a straight man in
Chicago.
"The mother of the child nowadays
ices not expect to stay at home and be-
come a nurse; she wishes to get out OF
doors herself, and she wants to take
her child into the air. The gocart is
the solution of the difficulty, especially
if the mother lives in a fiat or an apart
ment. In coming down town, where
the mother cannot leave the child with
a competent nurse, the gocart is the only
possible means by which she can get
into State street for shopping. She
cannot strap the child to her back, n
she cannot carry it; she trundles the
little one to the car line, folds up the
cart, and stores it in a corner until she
reaches her destination, after which the
child may be put back into it and be
wheeled all over the loop district, If the
mother wishes. The cart has come to stay
with the mothers of the middle class

Selling EARN Truck.

Every fruit and truck growers assO-
citation requires the best salesman
available. Usually good merchants
can be selected who will serve in
this capacity. They are familiar with
commercial affairs and have the III
age of their convictions upon the mat
ter of price.
The grower may be very successful
with the crop until it reaches his ship
ping point. If he attempts to sell on
the track, the buyers are shrewd and
thoroughly trained to all tricks of the
trade. An incident occurred in an
east Texas community last season
which may be of value to some of
our readers. The local association was
selling potatoes at good prices to buy
ers who had gathered from many cities
for that purpose. On a certain day
the buyers, without leaving town,
failed to visit the wagons or make
any offer for the crop. The growers
were in confusion, but their sales
agent was equal to the occasion. He
secured orders by wire and about
uOOu lllS AK DCSdh " 81 OuI w tASAA
northern destinations. The buyers
were amazed, and when charged with
having combined against the growers,
acknowledged their fault and offered
to make good by holding up the prices.
On another occasion a shrewd buy
er claimed to find a great difference
in the value of the crop grown by the
president of the local association and
the product offered by the members.
An advance in the price of the presi-
dents crop was privately suggested.
He refused, knowing full well that the
intent was to break up the organiza-
ton by stating that one of its officers
was securing special privileges at he
hands of the buyers.
Intelligent organization is absolutely
necessary to keep up with the COM
mercial situation and only the best
men should be put to the front.-Farm
and Ranch.
