And the woman who wills wins every time.
"A strong purpose creates its own means OF
accomplishment" 1t is a widely acknowledged
fact that superfuous flesh enervates, and expert
ence proves that what was true in Rousseau 8
the more it commands, the stronger it is, the
more it obeys."
Every additional pound of flesh beyond that
required to round out woman's form in har-
monous proportion. is a menace to her health,
beauty and comfort.
Like every other disorder of human economy,
il is far easier to avert than to cure it. The
greatest care should be exercised in adhering to
the antl-Gat patent nostrums which are recklessly
advertised to restore health and symmetry in an
incredibly short time. Many of these are posi-
lively harmful. A number are made upon a
basis of iodine, which possesses the property OF
dssolving fatty tissues
NOT MEDICINE, BUT COMMON SENSE AND
PERSEVERANCE REQUIRED.
In the great majority of cases it is not the

nut simply an entire reform of habits, brinpinl

SYSTEMATIC DIET.

Peaches, melons, grapes are among the forbid
den fruits; a sorry fate, to be sure. Pork and
veal are the only meats under the ban. Fish is
allowed, except hesh-producing ones, as salmon,
nackerel and sardines. Root vegetables are most
ly advised, besides peas corn and beans. Sue
culent green's should be eaten in moderation, but
the only soup permitted is a clear consomme.
Bathing is an important part of the anti-obesity
treatment. Baths should be taken at least once
a day Turkish baths are advised week
when the heart is in good condition. Aromatic
and astringent baths will be tonicking to the skn
and as the fat disappears it is necessary to stim
ulate the contractile power of the distended skin
otherwise disfguring folds and wrinkles will re-
main as unhappy reminders.
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF EXERCISE NEG
ESSARY.
How the heshy woman dislikes to exercise her
limbs and the less she moves about the greater
the inclination not to.
However, it is quite possible to be active and
keep at bay added pounds of flesh but, on the
other hand, if the palate is given free lance
the fat making continues.
Housework when it is done with will and mo-
in am easy, halfhearted manner, is an excellent
all-around form of exercise.
Walking bicycling, swimming, horseback rid
inc are all efficient for removing superfuous flesh
leaving the flesh firm and elastic.

SPECIAL FORMS OF EXERCISE FOR TIL

All dainties and sweetmeats must be put

,JITST KEEP HIM GUESSING.

Mrs. T. G-Jealousy is one of the most humili-
ating. bettling and pride-wrecking emotions. II

acknowledge, even to herself, that she is jealous

it; lust raise the knee short distance, going

OF course it goes without saying that all stays

taking the exercises, that the body may enjoy
unrestraned freedom.

II DAIRY FARM.

An old dairyman tells me he does
not care a rap about dairy conforma-
ton. He takes the milk pail test as
his guide in setting value upon cows.
That is all very good, but the man
who sets out to buy cows for his dairy
does not always have the opportunity
OF seeing just what they will do. And
even If cows are bought after a few
days milk trial, there is not much GER
tainty about h matter, because cows
are usually sold when they are at their
best. So 1t is safest to learn all you
can about dairy form. OF course there
are many cows, having so-called dairy
form, that are poor producers, but that
probably Is the result of neglect and,
improper feeding. When studying form,
look at both ends Of the cow. Select,
the COW with clear, bold eyes, active.
and vigorous, in preference to the
quiet, u n ~listless animal. These
points are as important as great veins
and other points found in the rear end
of the cow.

LIGHT OATS FOR SEED.

A correspondent writes me that his
grain dealer advises the sowing of
light seed, but he bases his SUPPOSE
ton that they will grow on the vol
unteer growth of seed in the chaff piles
and the growth over the fields where
these oats were harvested. There is
no contention that light oats, those
having a shriveled berry, will not grow,
but whether they have the Vigor to
produce q good straw and a we'll filed
head, is another matter. The trouble
with much of our light oats this sea-
son is that the glumes are not filed
at all, n of course there is nothing
TO sprout. 1t is contrary to the habit
of plant growth to presume that light,
shrunken or undeveloped seed grains
will produce as well as plump, well
matured seed. To show how this af-
fects h crop, the Minnesota station
graded a common variety of oats un-
til there was a difference OF sixteen
pounds per bushel in the two lots.
The heavy seed weighed thirty-seVen
pounds per bushel. while the light
seed weighed only twenty-one pounds.
There was a difference Of ten bushels
per acre in the yield. 1t should be borne
in mind that these oats were well filed
and the lightest seed was made up
of the smaller berries and shrunken
berries. But we have a different con-
dition in our oats this year, in that
much Of the grain is not filed. II
one will take a handful OF these light
a I and examine it. grain by grain,
he will see that many have nothing
but thick hulls.

pAIRYINe WIFI BRAINS.

The splendid work done now by those
dairymen who are making money from
the business is the result of exact
knowledge of the details OF the b,JsI-
ness. Chance success has given away
to exact methods, which has made good
work n profitable results possible.
Many rushed into dairying without
knowing one of the essentials which
counted for success, with the result
that they learned by costly experience.
OF course there are some who never
profit from any experience and they go
laundering along year after year, un-
til they are finally driven from the
work. Among the first things to learn
In dairying is that the COW Is our plant
for converting food into milk. and the
more thoroughly that plant is ~equibped,
for long and steady service the surer
and better will be u output. An
other thing, the quality of milk OBJ
tanned, or the per cent. Of butter fat
depends upon the cow entirely. For
COWS which turn rich food into rich
milk. We must get over that old no
ton that M cow will produce rich
milk, providing she is given the right
kind of food. o much feed has been
squandered or these poor cows I'm tha
attempt to get them to produces re-
suits. Dairying Is real serious blsi-
ness n the man who viii not take the
time to study out each detail of the
work had better hire some one to do
his thinking for him, or else get out OF
the business. The man and cow is q
good partnership, providing the one is
a good dairyman and the other a good
dairy COW.

DRAINAGE.

The agricultural and general papers
OF the central west and beyond consfder,
the subject of irrigation greater than
that of drainage and where the latter,
is considered 1t is mainly in considera-,
lion of small areas. 1t is a fact chat
drainage Of extensive swamps may be
one OF the greatest Of agricultural pos
Sibilities of the United States today.
Thi subject needs only to be men
toned to any one who Is o general
reader or at all familiar with the couA-
try and the work hat IA been accom-
plished in Holland and other European
countries to open up q wide field for
energetic operations hat will lead b
great business possibilities.
Drainage OF swamp lands can be ac-
complished for about, one-fifth the cost
of irrigation according to engineers
estimates. Land of this sort Is very
fertile and much of it situated in
healthful climates, or those which need
only h removal OF the surplus water.
Holland is below sea level for the most
part and the contemplated building oE
another large sea wall and the pump
ing dry of the Zuyder Zea is only an
additional enlargement of their terrt-
tory. Z
The traveller through Iowa is amazed
with the amoun of land in many parts
OF the state that are not producing any
where near the possible crop because OF
sloughs and shallow little lakes, Many
of these can be drained without trouble,
by the natural fall, but If necessary.
when land becomes more valuable. they
VIII be drained eve If more extensive
bitches have to be cut than are new,
thought needful. The use of tile on the.
farms of our level parts of country was
especially made plain this year. TiIing
helps lands that need draining whether
the season be wet or dry as paradox
cal as the statement Gems.
But it is the larger drainage or
swamp lands that is attracting atten-
ton from many and the subject Ia
worthy of consideration along with ir-,
rigation schemes and public waterways
of an artificial nature. Many of the
southern and eastern states, near large,
centers of population have large
swamps that could be drained to the
advantages of h capital employed and
to the advantage of the people who may
occupy the lands when prepared for
cultivation as well as of the country in
general.
Sections OF country that are filled
with ponds seem to be the dryest dur

beds are the dryest of all. Good drain
