A KIND HUSBAND.
Should He Never, Ladies, Oppose the
Wishes of His Wifes

Wishes of His Wifes
Is the kind husband a failure?
That depends. A husband can scarce
ly show his wife too much kindness.
But sometimes real kindness may be
shown in opposing her wishes. If the
husband has any mind of his own he
must use it. He need not be mean in
his opposition nor arrogant nor tyran-
nical. He should be reasonable at all
times and disposed to highly regard
the expressed wishes of his wife even
though these wishes may seem to him
to be whimsical or capriciOus. But
Kindness does not require subservi-
! ency or entire and instant surrender
Of opinion. Indeed, it is easy to see
how such surrender might lead a wife
to despise her husband. He who fetches
and carries like poodle is likely to be
considered a poodle.
Women admire strength in a man.
This strength need not necessarily
be physical, though that is desirable
Women love strength of character in a
man. And
Is it not so, ladies? When a woman
coaxes a strong man to her point of
view by strenuous endeavor, does she
not regard it as merit to have infu-
enced this big, strong being? If she
gains her own way at once and at all
times she has achieved nothing, and
there is no rejoicing in her heart
Certainly a man should be kind to
his wife-always kind. But he need
not be an automatOn or an echo or a
piaything.
Is it not so, ladies ?-Albany Times

Admitted the Lie.

Concerning King William ". of Eng
land the following story was told, the
Countess of STAFFORD being responsible
for it: THE king was at dinner Next
to him was a titled woman whom he
was entertaining with some extraOrdi-
nary anecdotes. which the lady found
it impossible to believe were true. She
therefore answered. oh, sir beg your
pardon, but l really do not think that
can be true To her surprise he in
stantly replied, You are quite right,
marin, there is not word of truth in
it. 1t is a lie. marin, lie In fact,
marin. we all lie; we can't help it. We
had it from our motherr This" con-
cludes the Countess of Strafford, 'was
the biggest lie of all, for Queen Char
lotte was a very truthful person, never
given to lying"

Stories of the Gravediggers,

Grimly humorous is the tale of the
gravedigger who complained that he
did not get constant work.
But, George" said the minister, 'if
you were to be constantly employed in
the duties of the Office you would soon
bury the whole parish"
THAT micht be. sir, but hoo am to
keep wife and family unless l get
regular work? Deed, sir, 1 havena
buried a leevin' soul for the last six
weeks"
Harder still was the case of another
gravedigger who was asked to reduce
his fee for digging a grave because,
mind We, James, she was an auld wo-
man and was sair spent. Chicago

Keeps the Hens Warm and Dry.

Our hens are put into winter quar-
ters with the first snowstorm, some
times sooner, if the weather is bad.
They are left there until spring. We
find that if we let them out during the
winter after they have become accus-
toned to their winter quarters it upsets
them. They will stop laying, and it
takes some time for them to settle
down to business again. The morning
feed consists of a mash, mixed very
dry, composed of cornmeal, wheat bran
and animal meal, also varied by cooked
vegetables. Feed it warm, not hot.
Give them what they will eat up clean
in five minutes; also give them fresh
water with the chill taken off, The
house is kept Uttered with chaff and
straw and renewed as often as it be-
comes damp.-Cor. Rural New Yorker.

Cost of Irrirnfinn.

The office of irrigation and drainage
investigations has during the year
made a comprehensive study of the
methods and cost of preparing land for
irrigation. These studies show that
the cost of preparing land for irriga-
ton varies from 50 to So an acre under
the flooding system and under the
check system reaches from So to $25
per acre. The increased value of wa
ter has given added Importance to
studies of the duty of water. Rights
originally purchased for $5 now sell
for $35 an acre, and in some districts
annual water rentals have risen from
81 to 81.

ABUSE OF ATHLETICS.
Muscle Building Does Not Necessarily
Improve the Health.

Athletics may be good or evil and in
the same manner as a two edged
sword.
The prime object in athletics is i'm
prOvement of the general health. One
writer has said that health, like hap
piness, does not exist. He said the
body consists of a number of mechan-
isms which have the closest and most
exact relations. and as they approxi-
mate to harmony there is health, but
when disordered there is i'll health.
To obtain good health muscle build
ing is not necessity. One cannot
judge of the persons health by the size
and hardness of the muscles. The con-
verse may be true.
To obtain health one must not be in
a perfectly trained condition owing to
the effects of severe training on the
nervous system.
There is no evidence to prove that
athletics and muscle building improve
the constitution.
One should always keep in mind the
fact that built up or hypertrOphied
muscle has a tendency to degenerate.
The heart, being muscular organ,
shares in this tendency.
In regard to the moral side of the
question. it remains to be proved that
athletics per Sc corrupt the morals.
Dr. f. r. Sturgis is confident that ath-
letics improve the morals of a commu-
nifty.
Although the evidence for and
against athletics is contradictory, the
whole subject may be summed up by
stating that athletics are beneficial
when properly and judiciously applied
and very injurious when the precau-
tiOns above mentioned are ignored or

FERTILIZlNG TIE POTATO.
BOme Mixed Versus Factory Mixed
FcrtiIizers-Bnrnyard Manure.

ECrI1l1ZerS-Bufnyu yuru manure.
A thorough preparation of the soil
and subsequent intensive cultivation of
the crop, aside from favorable weather
conditions, are not sufficient to insure
a large yield in many localities where
potatoes are grown for the market. An
increase in the yield under such condi-
tiOns is effected by the judicious use of
barnyard manure and commercial fer
tilizers. The potato requires liberal
manuring but it sometimes happens
that the applications customarily used
result either in a loss or in a reduced
profit because the different plant food
elements were not properly balanced
or the same quantity or quality of
plant food was not obtained at the
lowest cost. The results of a number
of experiments throwing light on this
problem of rational fertilizer treatment
for potatoes are here briefly noted.
The New Hampshire station has re-
Gently published the results of series
of experiments mainly devoted to the
study of the potato fertilizer problem.
An application of 1,500 pounds per acre
of a ready mixed fertilizer was used in
comparison with an equal quantity of
a home mixed fertilizer. Both applica-
tiOns contained per cent of nitrogen,
per cent of phOsphOric acid and 10
per cent of potash. The plant food ele-
ments in the home mi&d fertilizer
were furnished in 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda, 1925 pounds of sulphate of
ammonia, 562.5 pounds of bone black
and 300 pounds of muriate of potash.
With the ready mixed fertilizer 279 1-3
bushels of large tubers and 60 bushels
of small tubers were obtained per acre,
and with the home mixed 272 bushels
of large tubers and 20 % bushels of
small tubers, the total yields being
339 1-3 and $40 % bushels per acre re-
spectively. The results, so far as the
yield is concerned, show but little diff
ference, but the ready mixed fertilizer
cost $2S.50 per acre, while the home
mixed application cost only $19.2S, or
$20.2S if 81 is allowed for mixing.
Experiments were also made in grow
ing potatoes with and without barn
yard manure. In some cases the ma
nure was used alone at the rate of fif-
teen cords per acre, and in some others
it was applied with commercial fertili-
zers varying in quantity from $50 to
1000 pounds per acre. In every in
stance the use of barnyard manure, Ell
ther alone or with commercial fertili-
Zers, resulted in increased yields, the
average for all tests being about 112
bushels per acre.
Where over 1,500 pounds of CONNER
cial fertilizers We're used the difference
in yield was not so great and the quail
ity of the crop not so good. The value
of the manure is twOfOld, in that it
acts favorably upon the crop immedi-
ately following its application and also
improves the condition of the soil for
succeeding crops.

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of KOdol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
gestiug what you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet your
self when taking Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. }. d. Erskine, of Allenville,
Mich. says, "I suffered with Heart
burn and Stomach trouble for some
time. My sisterin-law has had the
same trouble and was not able to eat
for six weeks. She lived entirely on
warm water. After taking Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure she was entirely cured.
She now eats heartily and is in good
health. am glad to say Kodol gave
me instant relief" Sold by VIM. F.
