Conditions among the poor in many cases

be all against his being able to maintain it? For
mar cannot maintain family when he has
work. The sight of starving wife and children
has driven many to desperation-even to
crime.
Yet it Is the right of the poor to have home.
With them that right is as nalienable and per-
llaps more precious than with the rich. And so

the poor to escape from the burden Of vice

for vice. And that remedy consists in making
marriage possible among the poor and in provid-

In this country. 1t is true. there Is brighter

Many women form their ideals of husband
on novels and plays Disllusionment is bound to
follow. They find that the once idealized husband
is only common mortal without even a pin
feather on his shoulder blade. Then the wife feels
she has been deceived. So she has. But by her
self; not by her husband.
Another grievous blow to many wife is that
her husband does not always remain her lover.
She forgets that he is toiling every day for her

BREEDING UP IS CHEAPEST.
The Way to Get Into the Business OF
Raising Pure BREEDS.

The farmer that intends to secure a
herd OF pure-bred cattle will find 1t
cheaper to breed up than to buy pure
bred stock, especially If he Is prepar-
ing to raise cattle for the purpose Of
making beef II he buys all pure-bred
stock, the Investment will be SO heavy
that he cannot afford to sell the pro-
geny for the block, but will feel con-
strained to go into the business of
raising breeding cattle, for which he
may not have taste and adaptability.
Good females of pure-bred beef
stock bring high prices and he would
need a considerable number OF pure
bred cows to make good start But
with bull he can in few years have
a herd of cows that will make 1t pos
sible to send to market highgrade
beeves-market toppers. For the beef
maker, then, this is about the only
course possible, and 1t is the course
that is recommended by the breeders
of purebred stock.
In selecting herd Of cows for
breeding up, says Farmers Review, a
man should try to get animals In
keeping WIFI tue UTc0o VI th0 Ouii AS
intends to buy. Thus, II he is going
to use u pure-bred Shorthorn bull. he
should pick up cows having the gen.
eral conformation of the Shorthorns.
He will find 1t easy to secure good AMI
mails having in them considerable
Shorthorn blood, though these animals
would have be regarded. in his breed
ing operations, as without any pure
blood, simply because the buyer would
not generally know how much Short
horn blood such animals contained.
The same is true In the use Of pure
bred bulls OF any breed. If a man
buys a Hereford bull he should hunt
up cows having some of the general
conformation of Herefords and use
these for his breeding operations.
II such animals cannot be secured in
his own vicinity he can generally
find them at the big stock markets
and get them at meat prices. The
breeding-up process offers many ad-
vantages that the other process does
not offer.

BARN FOR LAMB RAISING.
Arrangement Of Building Which Will
Prove Most Convenient

In this section of the country, writes
Jefferson county, Illinois, farmer in
the Breeders Gazette, stock rails
ing has become the leading &C.
cupation. Sheep are easily raised
and pay large profit. We
keep about 70 ewes and take de-
light in handling them. especially dur
ing lambing season. Our main breed
is the Shropshire, although we have
a few Cotswolds and Hampshires. The
latter are good hardy lamb raisers.
We prefer Shropshires, as they have
closer wool and endure more bad
weather.
Our barn shown In Fig. J., is a con-
venient one and Is large enough for
about 125 ewes. When the ewes be-
gin to lamb we put the first eve in
Pen /. Then when the second lambs
we put her In Pen 1, putting No.

full. Then we begin to remove them
one at time to the large pen for
ewes and lambs. When the lambs are
about two weeks old they will begin
to eat some small grain. A pen for
this purpose has been made Gig. u
and is provided with small grain boxes
on two sides. The ends are made of
portable gates.
A small creep hole will be noticed in
the gate between the lamb pen and
the ewes and lambs through which
the lambs can pass. These gates may
be removed the next fall and again
give the flock the entire barn. The
gate marked X. can be set back to
any desired place and thereby enlarge
the pen and rack room, as more Of
them have lambs.
The gates in the small pens can be
made so that by opening them back

Marriage conditions among the poor have

Marriage among the rich may mean any one
OF many things. 1t may mean social fnan-

convenience; 1t may be the outcome of idleness
and propinquty
But marriage among the poor is the most
cogent means of reform. By making marriage
universally possible among those who are not
blessed with an abundance of this worlds goods

be taken toward vices utter elimination.
