waved her tail and thought, Dut to no
effect. Little hollows began to form be-
tween her ribs, and at milking-time the
soulless Hired Man complained that she
was not worth the grass she ate. Of
course, | took pains to back and tread
on his feet in return for this; but the re-
mark stung my half-sister, nevertheless.
d. Brindle was rather more successful in
organizing a track-team, for this did not
require the conscious cooperation of the
members She had only to make them
run, and though emulation and competi-
ton both seemed dormant in their
breasts, fear was not, and Brindle had
become both formidable and agile.
Through the great amount of compulsory
speeding she gave them it seemed to me
that some began to grow more slender
more bovine. Her custom was, when
ever pig ventured into the pasture land
they were always doing it), to make
after him at top speed and chase him
about till he lodged under the fence
This was, as you may imagine, extremely
wearing on her, and l suppose that l
made myself obnoxious by sauntering
up to her once when she had just been
enjoying the pleasures of the chase, as
you may say, and inquiring:
Brindle, why don't you let up on
those poor pigs? You can't make pig
into a COW, if you try forever; and what
good would it do them if you cou1d?"
Brindle always received my suggestions
with that condescending manner which
is good form among Settlement Workers
toward the unelect. She raised her chin
and dropped her eyelids, implying that my
remarks were born in ignorance, nurtured
in stupidity, and offered in impertinence.
Naturally this effectually prevented me
from ever trying to do any uplifting
again, and set good example to any pigs
who happ ned to be listening.
In spite of her earnestness, there were
moments when l could see that Brindle's
spirit tagged from its high emprise-when
nothing but green grass and rest under a
shady tree seemed worth while in her
eyes. At these times when she saw an
adventurous shote start across the field,
she would hastily turn her back and hope
it wouldn't come so near that she would
have to chase it in order to keep up her
reputation for unselfshness.
The longer Brindle chung to the Settle

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black Splotches All Over Face-Af-
fected Parts Now Clear as Ever
Cured by the Cuticura Rene
dies

about four years ago L was aff1ict
ed with black splotches all over my
face and few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that L was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough eXami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin
ally my husband purchased a set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped. 1
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months. and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. The Cuticura Rene
dies not only cured me of that dread
full disease, eczema, but other compli-
Gated troubles as well. Lizzie E.

Man, Woman and Money.


Every now and then one reads in the
papers an account Of some foolishly
conflding girl or woman who, at his
solicitation, has entrusted her little
hoard Of savings to her lover or fiance,
and finds trust and trustee missing.
Hear what Ella Wheeler Wilcox has
to say on this subject:
There is one type of man l have
never yet known to be strong, reliable
and trustworthy-a man l would like
to see any friend take for life COM
panion-and that Is the young man
who asks loan Of money from a wo-
man he loves, or who loves him. Be
lieve me, there Is some lack OF real
moral fiber in such a man.
"a husband and wife many years
married, and united by common in
terests, may become so one in thought
and purpose that a common purse
would be as natural to them as a
common dinner-table.
"But before marriage, or immediate
ly after, the man who begins to ask
woman for the use of her purse
should be distrusted by her. He could
not breach such subject unless he
lacked certain refinement and
strength which makes a manly man a
woman's protector by nature. Even
where no sentiment exists between a
man and a woman, the really strong
men Of the world never become Dor
rowers from women.
where man is woman's lover
and asks her to advance money to him
for any reason, she may as well real
lie at once the reed on which she will
lean II she accepts him for life COM
panion. A vital quality Is left out of
his character.
HE is but one step removed from
the man who seeks u woman because
she has money, and he is the most
despicable of the human race"
This Is true as Gospel" 1t has
been proven so many, many times, to
the cost Of foolish women who allow
themselves to be led away by senti-
ment or over-persuaded by a glib
tongue. The world respects no man
WIZ ldheS IlOuey lTOlH WOlldH III
lives on her earnings. When the cor
rect financial situation Is reversed,
romance flies. No woman can be
blamed for ceasing to respect the man
who allows her to support him, max
Ing no effort to assume his rightful
place as breadwinner. And when she
ceases to respect, love and happiness
soon take leave also.
A man who has not sufficient prop
crty to furnish a place for his wife
to live, or position giving him a
regular salary has no business to take
upon himself the responsibility of a
wife. But youth whose home is any
where he happens to hang up his hat,
and whose estate consists of change
of neckties, can very often coax girl
Into marrying him and wheedle her
out of any little savings she may have
accumulated. The chap who wants
to borrow before marriage is very apt
to take French leave soon after.

Salt for Farm Animals.

Most farmers fully realize the i'm.
portance of salt to the farm animals,
but they too often forget to supply it
at the proper time and in proper guam
titles. Possibly sheep should be han
died little more cautiously than 9TH
err animals in this respect, and small
quantities doled out to them daily.
The other farm animals can safely be
trusted with lump of salt in the
manger, to which they may have free
access. Even the swine will do bet
ter If lump of rock salt is put in the
corner of the trough, although it is
usually the better plan, with them, to
season the slop given them with more
or less salt. This Is also the better
plan of furnishing salt to fowls, u.s.
ing the mash each day but in small
quantities-just about as much as the
housewife would use in seasoning a
mixed dish for the home table. Don't
forget, however, that salt creates
thirst, and that animals freely sailed
must be given clean, fresh water.

Feeding of Root. in Winter.

The countries that lead in quality of
live stock use roots as food for the
animals. England, which gave us our
best breeds, would never have done
so but for her large crop of turnips.
The English market reports give prices
of beets, mangels and turnips as reg
ularly as do our journals for grain and
hay. In some sections of this country
the root crop Is becoming an important
one, but we rely mostly on corn, which
produces not only largely of grain, but
also of fodder; hence 1t is cheaper to
grow corn than roots, but better re-
suits would be obtained If roots were
added to the corn, hay and fodder
Labor-saving implements now cheaper
the cost Of producing roots, compared
with former years, and with the use Of
roots the food is more varied, which
promotes more rapid growth of young
stock and greater yields from pro-
ducers.

Protecting the Manure.

The annual question concerning the
disposition of the stable-made manure
comes up as the pile begins to assume
formidable proportions. By far the
best way of taking care Of it is to
spread it on the fields where it will
go down into the soil and be in readi-
ness for the crop which is to be sown
in the spring. If it is to be stored, the
ideal place is the pit with cement bot
tom. which will hold the liquid excre-
ment. If this cannot be done, then
store it under a shed, placing 1t in
layers and let the hogs root it over.
If even this is not feasible, then put 1t
in piles not very high and cover with
any old, rough boards-almost any
thing that will keep out the rain,
which causes the liquid portions to
leach away.
An excellent plan is to choose a
place where the soil is of clay ma
ture, and dig trench all around the
space where the pile is to be, and in
this way save some Of the liquid
which may be scooped up and poured
back on the pile. Use the pile as a
receiver for the slop from the house
and see that it is forked over several
times during the winter. The main
thing, however, is to see that it is pro
tected from the elements as much as
possible,
