HAPPINESS DEPENDS UPON THE
WIFE.

Whether the ultimate end Of mar
rage is happiness Or misery depends
far more upon the wife than upon the
husband. Deny it who will, this is the
rule, although there are exceptions.
There are some men with whom
neither saint nor angel could live in
harmony-nen who would merely be
made unreasonable and tyrannical by
Griselda's patient devotion. But for
the most part every woman who mar
res has it in her power to make her
self absolutely essential, at least to her
husbands comfort, if no more; and
that she fails to do so is usually her
fault rather than her misfortune.
The first duty Of wife is to accept
the man whom she has married for
what he is and make the best of him
not only to the world at large, first Of
all to her own people, but to her own
consciousness.
Man, the average man, is an easy
going creature who will endure much
rather than raise a row. Selfish, per-
haps, but more ready to be agreeable
than not, especially when he has his
own way; apt to take all the good
things of life, a wdfe's devotion in
cluded, as a natural part Of what
somebody has called hts "1ordly de-
serts," and if he be neither worried
nor nagged, he prefers being kind to
being disagreeable. Moreover, it graft
fies his vanity to regard himself as the
source Of JOY and light to the people
of his household.
But long ages of training and prac-
t1ce have made women much more
adaptable and patient than men, for
which reason the happiest marriages
are those in which the wife does not
expect too much, but suits herself, to
the best of her ability, even to that
which she does not either admire or
quite understand
"A man," says Emerson, lis like a
bit of Labrador spar, which has no
ulster as you turn 1t in your hand,
until you come to a particular angle,
then it shows deep and beautiful COL
ors." Herein lies the most subtle skill
Of a good wife; she detects in her
husband the beauty which is invisible
to others; nay, more, she understands
how to expose that particular angle of
his character which reveals the finest
in him.
Man, as a genus, hates being
scolded; on the other hand, he I'M
doubtedly loves to have a fuss made
over him, to be petted and made much
fuss over the spoiled and petted Great
ure who Is her own especial property
Neither, from his point Of view, can
she make too little over the man who
belongs to some one else. If every
woman made this simple truth the
practice Of her daily life there would
be fewer dissatisfied husbands and
fewer divorced wives.
EVERY man has a right to expect
his wife to admire him. If she does
not she has no business to marry him
To be sure, she may have altered he1
opinion after marriage, but, even so, il
should be her strenuous effort to con-
= ceal that change of mind from every
one, herself included

HOW TO USE NEW PANS.

To prevent cakes from sticking in
new pans take the cake pan, grease

oven for an hour, or until the newness
Is burned off. This is especially good

A New Years Letter.
Colorado State Agricultural College.
Fort Collins, Colo, Jan. 23, 1908
To the Boys and Girls of the Colorado
Patterson Seed Competition Club
My Dear Boys and Girls:-I have
just completed the crop report of your
work for 1907. 1t is encouraging, for
it shows progress. l regret to say that
some of our members have not yet
threshed, and I must send this letter
without their report being completed.
Some yet to report, will win a prize,
which / shall take pleasure in sending
to them as soon as they send me the
pound sample of the threshed grain
threshed from their measured acre
of grain.
The total number of points for each
competitor was determined on the
same basis as last year. Multiplied
the weight of grain i'll the hundred
head sample by 25, to which was
added the weight of 1000 kernels
multiplied by rs. The grade or quail
ity was determined on basis of 1000
points for perfect grade. The yield
of pounds per acre gave the number
of points for the competitor. Adding
the points won by the 100 head sam
pie, the quality grade and points won
by yield per acre, We have the total
number OF points won by the compet-
tor with each particular grain.
The following are the winners as far
as the report can now be made:

Insanity and the Nation.

Not long ago the United States cen

should have provoked instant and
widespread discussion. OF all the
publications giving the results of the
twelfth census there is hardly any of
such Importance to the American peo-
pie. For in language the. most ex-
plicit. and supported by statistics
gathered with the scrupulous care that
has characterized all the enumerations
OF the latest census, 1t reveals the ex-
fstence of conditions making strongly
against the continued prosperity of the
United States and its continued prog
ress to headship among nations. The
reference is to the special report on
Insane and Predetermined In Hos
pitals and Institutions" At first
glance" remarks II. Addington Bruce
In North American Review, nothing
alarming is to be seen in the state
ment that in 1903 there were in the
insane asylums of the country total
OF 150,151 inmates. What is this, it
may be asked, in population exceed
ing S0.000.000? But the matter quick.
ly assumes another aspect when it is
observed that in 1890. the year of the
preceding census. the insane asylums
held only 74.02s unfortunates; and
that, ten years earlier, the asylum
population was but 40,492. In other
words, there has been progressively
more rapid increase in insanity than
In population. Just what the differ
ence is 1t is impossible to say. Statis-
ucally It is enormous.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb. 10.
Offerings of cattle were quite liberal
here last week. bulk coming from the
feed lots of northern Colorado. De-
mand was strong and prices at the
close are 10 to 15c higher than week
ago. Good steers found ready outlet
at s4.25@4.6O with a few punches of
choice beeves at S475@4.S5. Good
killing cows brought $3.S0@3.75 with
several punches of choice ones at $3.50
and one lot of fancy heifers at $3.50.
Medium to fair cows sold at $4,000
1926 and the poorer grades down to
$500. Bulls were firm at $2.60@3.15
for bulk and 1925 for tops Veal calves
about steady and in good demand. Best
veals are now selling at $5.O0@6.00.
Several buyers for eastern packing
houses are now stationed here making
purchases and as the local packers are
all good buyers, the competition is
keen for all good fat cattle. Feeder
supply last week was rather better
than the preceding week, though not
heavy There was a strong demand
for all good grades and prices closed
about dime higher Most OF the good
feeders sold at $4.15@4.50 with med
ium light steers around s3.60@4.10. De-
mand is better than supply.
Hogs were in liberal offering, a to-
tai of over $500 head being received
last week. The demand was very good
Notwithstanding the heavy run. Hogs
are now quotable here at s4.25@4.35 or
a shade higher than week ago.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
light. There was strong demand and
prices closed firm. Ewes constituted
the bulk of the supply and good ones
sold at s4.40@4.60, the latter price be-
ing the highest paid here for some
time. Wethers brought $500 and a .
bunch of choice yearlings sold at $3.50. \

Let us all come close together and

"To the Boys and the Girls in the
Seed Contest:
Il take a very deep interest in the

object the development of seed that
will produce greater and better crops
for Colorado than have ever been har-

A most remarkable thing occurred
in Denver the other day when a man
was discovered actually trying to sell
oleomargarine, for what 1t was. That
is, he was making house to house
canvass telling people that he had
oleomargarine for sale. No one can
object to man selling an article If he
will only tell the truth and let the
thing go upon it's own merits and not
as a counterfeit of something BETTER
Field and Farm.
An orchard neglected while young
will. at its best. be only second-class
orchard. To get the young orchard
started right is important. The aver
age man justly feels that he must

chard, and too OTTER economy leads to
neglect. Though the process of rear
ing the orchard to a productive stage
is an expensive one, 1t is worth doing
we'll The buying of poor trees, care
less preparation of the land for plant
ing. or lack of care after planting, is
poor economy. The productive and
profitable old orchard is the one
grown well while young.
In announcing his awards in the Pat
| terson seed competition Prof. w. II
| Olin, of the department of agronomy
| Colorado Agricultural college, says:
Fathers, l earnestl. urge you to en-
courage and assist your boys and girls
as they seek, in 1908. to win ma

tion, at Seattle, in 1909. the best wheat
oats and barley which the West has
ever seen. They are bringing to YOU

market affords; do not hinder, but helr
in every way possible. He also asks
teachers to send in names of those who
will compete
