KIND OF MAN TO TIE TO
Sounds Good, but Where'II One Find
Him?

Muncie Qnd.) News Tribune.
We rise to make plain talk on a theme
that is big in the thought Of the girl.
The theme is man, and the choice of a
lifemate for maid. The dear young
thing will bear in mind that a freak
hat foul pipe, tan shoes, shaped like
grown hams, and a pair of fierce socks
do not, Of need. go to make UP the best
sort of man to tie to. The scarf and
the vest, their check tint or noise, do
not take a place in the worth Of the
brute who must soon or late serve the
soft sex. It is to say then, that the
buds make the dude, but do not make
the real man. The girl who thinks a
dude is all right is not the girl we wish
to talk to on this line. For those who
like that sort the dude is all right. The
maid who seeks, as is right, real joy in
| life with a. man; the maid who has the
heart to make a home a place of bliss,
will pass by the one who thinks of
dress and shine and style more than he
thinks Of the worlds call on mind or
heart. A good man to tie to is the man
who thinks first Of all of his job and of
his stand in the town. The staid, safe,
true, plain, square, white-browed, clear
eyed pure-lipped young man is the boy
to place bets on in the home game or in
such game as one may choose.

Irrigation in Humid Climates.

We have usually considered till
very recent years that l. paid to irri-
gate land only in those countries in
which the rainfall was insufficient to
supply the crops with the needed
moisture. But it is being learned that
irrigation pays even in lands where
the rainfall is sufficient in most years
Illinois has an annual precipitation of
about 35 inches and Italy an annual
precipitation of about 40 inches. Few
farmers in Illinois would think it
profitable to irrigate, yet in Italy
many thousands of farmers are irri-
eating and consider it money we'll
spent, as crop insurance. The lead
ing crops in the irrigated regions are
corn, wheat and oats. Mulberry trees
are also irrigated, and the irrigation
increases the yield of the mulberry
leaves about one-third. The farmers
there declare that irrigation enables
them to grow a crop of corn after
the wheat, and to increase the yield
of alfalfa and clover 100 per cent.
Most of the irrigation work there
is organized on the cooperative basis.
The largest of these cooperative as,
sociations has 14,000 members and
controls the irrigation of 123,5OO acres
Of land. The system under the con
troll of this association comprises 1000
miles Of canals and bitches. The
main society is divided into 40 sub
ordinate societies. each of which
elects a member to a general assem-
bly,, which directs the policy of the
association. The farmers there pay
about Sc per year for the watering of
each acre. Under such a condition,
crop failure is impossible.

Pure Water for Washing Butter.
Butter makers have long since ar
rived at the conclusion that the water
In which butter is washed has much
to do, not only with the keeping quail
ty of the butter, but often with it's
flavor. We have seen farm wells SO
foul that the water could hardly be
used except for cooking purposes, but
that same water was used in the
washing of butter and in the cleans
ing Of vessels that were to hold milk.
In one case the writer saw well the
water of which had become almost
unusable. The owners had the well
cleaned out, and great mass of dead
angle worms was found in the bottom
1t was these angle worms that had
tainted the water In the same way
1t is preferable to use soft water in
stead of hard, as sometimes the hard
ness in the water comes from the
presence in it of decayed vegetable
matter. At some of the colleges
where butter making is taught, this
matter of soft and hard water and of
filtered and unfiltered water has been
looked into, always with the results
that the purer water and the soft
water gave the best favored butter.
Reports from New Zealand say that
some Of the off-flavors in the butter
that had been sent from that country
to Europe were found to come from
the water in which the butter was
washed. So we caution our readers
to make sure that the high priced
butter-fat that is to be made up into
a form to go on the table Of the dis
eliminating buyer be washed in water
so pure that there will be 40 question
of its contan,inating the butter.

The Stanchion Should Go.

In spite of all that has been said
against the stanchion it still persists
on our farms. That it should be dis
carded is the verdict of about every
man that does any thinking along this
line. The rigid stanchion may be easy
to build, and easy to understand the
construction of, by the ordinary farm
carpenter that has built no other kind
in all his life, but that does not make

re probably few localities where some
ort of humane arrangement is not
n sight and cannot be inspected by
the cow owner that wants to make
his animals comfortable.
