His Happy Home.

both exquisitely happy until she said:

TCopyright, 1906. by e. ;. fosIj
10y DEAR JOHN-Marriage al
WAYS means a great deal
more thar merely trotting a
girl up to a preacher. Most
of the present day youngsters seem to
think that's all there is to Ii and never
try to see beyond. They don't realize
that marriage is the passing into a
new life, or, rather. the graduation
into real life. where the surroundings
and conditions are different and the
RESPONSIBILITIES much heavier than be-
fore. That's why there are so many
disappointments. It's just like putting
n green man into a football team at
the beginning of a match. He doesn't
know the game, isn't prepared for the
contest and IS carried out In the first
half. Marriage is the greatest game on
earth. and there ought to be such
things as matrimonial coaches to teach
those who would play it not only bow
TO line up, but how TO reach the goal.
Such a coach would need to have
many and diverse lessons for his pu-
pils. and one of the most important In
the course would deal with the treat
ment of ones wife's relations.
That, I judge from the ~lugubrious
tone Of your last letter. is the problem
You're "rasslin'" with now. and it's a
problem that better men thar you and
I have tackled from the days Of Cain
and Abel down. It's knocked out a
good many OF the best of them too.

to destroy her love for her mother.
You can't do 1t, in the first place. but II

I Isn't hard to do. She is not an ogre
Let her be once convinced that you can
be depended upon to give her daughter
the care and love she is entitled to. and
she will become your most devoted ally.
Take her Into your confidence. treat her
as you would your own mother. show
her that you are to be trusted, and you

many occasions in after life to be thank
full for. Make her your enemy, and you
not only make your wife unhappy. but
you lay the foundation for some mighty

Ration For Laying Hens.

An excellent ration for laying hens
In the winter is equal parts Of cracked
corn, oats chop and shorts. To this
add enough clover or alfalfa hay tea,
with the partially cooked leaves and
stems remaining in the tea. to make
the mixture a stiff mass. In addition,
the birds should have plenty of grit
and occasionally a little meat food.
Meat meal or Clipped meat, If the lat
ter is not tainted, Is a good way to
supply this feed.

Try to Be Logical,

There's another point that may not
have occurred TO you, although you are
the proud possessor of a college degree.
Your marriage did not alter your love
for your mother. Neither in that cere-
mony did your wife concentrate all her
affection on you. All her life her moth
er has been her most beloved counselor.
Now, it is true she has transferred her
allegiance to you, but a few words
spoken at the altar cannot change In a
moment the influence and training of a
lifetime. Anna May is still her moth
er's daughter, still respects her advice
and cherishes her love, and, although
she may do as you wish in every par
ticular, II your wishes are opposed to
the influence that has hitherto guided
her she cannot yield without a struggle
within herself. Now, don't misunder
stand me. I am not saying that you
should let your mother-ln-law run YOU
house-not by a jugful. But you mus
take all these facts into consideration
and bring your wife gradually to you
