THE UNATTAINAsI-E.

The years MAY teach us to endure
Our own allotted dover OF pain;
10 find in paths that tears obscure,
Some knowledge that is sorrows

Yet, tho our hearts cry out to share
And stay the agonies thereof,
One grief we cannot learn to bear;
The suffering OF those we love.

DAILY BATH FOR CLEANLINESS
Weekly Addition of Our Ancestors
No Longer Suffices.

There is many a man or woman
who would be Mortified to be told
that he or she falls short of cleanli-
ness, yet such is the case even when
one prides herself On personal dain-
tiness.
You cannot be clean if you do not
take at least one bath each dav, If
that seems like harsh judgment try
going for two days without a bath,
then wipe off the skin with cold
cream. The condition of that cloth
is an unpleasant revelation.
The daily bath need not be in a
tub, but it should be more than the
British cold sponge that with many
does duty for cleanliness. Cold water.
no matter how invigorating, does not
remove soil.
A bath to be cleansing should con-
sist of plenty of hot water-soft, if
posslble-a pure soap and a scrubbing
brush, and plenty of friction in dry.
ing. Cold water may be used later
as a spray or tonic, but the warm
bath Is essential.
1t is doubly necessary, if one lives
in cities, that care is paid to bathing.
The CRIME of the big town is not only
disfguring, it is germ-laden. and everv
effort should be made to keep free
of it.
In addition to the daily bath one
should be particular to wash the face,
ears and neck, and under the arms
each time she dresses. The hands as
most of us know to our sorrow, need
scrubbing dozen times a day,
1t is folly, as is so often done. to
point to our ancestors weekly bath
and superb strength. Times have
changed and so have ideals of clean.
Illness, and the person who takes two
baths a week these days is ashamed
to have it found out

BAR PINS STILL ARE POPULAR.
Dress Accessory of Which Seemingly
There Cannot Be Too Many.

There is no diminution in the popu,
larity of the bar pin. It is used TO!
collars. for the stock and for jabots.
Every girl needs as. many as she can
get. She wants them in sets Of col
ored stones to match the color scheme
of her various costumes, and she wants
them in different sizes for different
uses.
AS far as the fashions go, she can
not have too many. Therefore, the
manufacturers are bringing them out
anew in all kinds of lovely shapes and
settings.
The horseshoe has been run to the
ground and few of the new ones are in
this shape. Lovely as the bowknot
was it did not become widely popular
in semi-precious stones. The straight
bar has always been an excellent in
vestment, especially in three sizes.
The new bar pin used to catch the
lower edges of the turnover collar and
the jabot under it is in the shape of a
new moon. The crescent is slight in
its curves, it is not wide even at the
center, its ends are sharp.

A Simple Cues, Room.

The very simplest guest. room that
any one could imagined The floor had
on it gray rag carpet. The walls
were covered with a plain gray paper,
and black moulding Joined them to
the ceiling. The narrow, old-fashioned
woodwork of window and door stills
made streaks Of black. in keeping
with the molding above. The hang.
ings were gray Japanese crepe.
Many tones, of quiet grays," as said
the poet; but they served to throw
into relief odd bits of blue and yellow
Moorish pottery and a row of blue
books. The books were the point OF
the whole gray scheme of things, for
the hostess had covered them all in
blue holland linen and had titled the
backs on small yellow pastors

FARMER AND !
PLANTER !

Must Keep Changing Crops.

To the Editor-The, effect of con-
Itinuously growing the same crops on
the soil year after year is shown on
the once rich prairie. lands of the
West, where this method is fast ex:
|hausting their fertility. The results
are. more plainly evident on some OF
the abandoned farms of New England,
whose fertility was once mined rath-
OF than cultivated when they were
new and -rieh. ~ N
Though different crops are all com
posed of the same elements taken as
food from the soil, they do not use
them in the same amounts. Thus the
root crops require potash, the grain
phosphates and the. forage crops nj
trogen. Plants have different meth
DDS of getting the same kind Of food,
CIoyers can, get nitrogen from the air
and nearly all classes pf. plants differ
in their feraging area in the soil. SO
if we. grow. one crop all the time it
b. n. SEt,' :
will exhaust one part of the soil
while mot using the other. e
A shallow rooted or deep-rooted
plant should not be exclusively grown
upon any one soil. We therefore
practice rotation of crops-that is,
growing a different crop on the, soil
.eaehs-year from the zone grown there
before, In this way We give the land
different kinds of treatment in prep
aration for. the crop and during its
growth. Some crops are intertillec
and some are not, and so we give the
weeds different treatment. 1t is we'll
known that certain insects and dis
eases infest certain crops. If we
change crops we disturb the home of
the insects and cut, off their supply
and allow time for the diseases to die
out before We plant the same crop
again.

Raise Turkeys.

If farmers knew when they were
well off they would raise more tur
keys, good turkeys, either the bronze
or. the White Holland. The latter is
not quite SO large as the Bronze, but
is a rapid grower, In any section OF
our farming community where the
raising of turkeys once gets a foot
hold they do not let the industry lag,
but on the contrary it is ever on the
increase. M
In many sections of our country
they are raised by the hundreds for
market and still the demand is Sc
great that the price is higher than It
was fifty years ago.. 1t is no hard.
ship to raise 5000 worth Of good tur.
keys. on, the average farm.

The Farm Poultry.

Under the heading, THE Hen and
Wonderful Products" the Cotton
Journal has something to say that
should command the attention and
interest of every home builder in
the South. There can be no real
home without hen. The eulogy on
the hen is as follows:
The hen is the symbol of peace and
plenty-wherever her cackle is heard
the lamp of civilization burns. The
poets have immortalized the linnet
and the hooking bird, and a brainy
congressman before his peers has
had the temerity to sing the praises
of the busy hen. Not only that, a
great literary weekly has threatened
to lay before its readers all there is
to tell about that domesticated crea-
ture which so assiduously lays the
delicate and nourishing food classed
on the market as eggs.
The Cotton Journal is indeed inter-
ested in the great poultry industry,
knowing that these Southern states
present opportunities for the growth
and development of other breeds Sec
ond to no other section of the United
States. The cotton belt is awakening
to the Importance of poultry as being
a part of the supplies each and every
man should produce, who is so STU
ated as to raise Chickens One hun
dred good hens with the proper num-
Der of cocks go long way toward
sustaining family when this fact is
clearly understood by our people,
very much greater interest will be
manifested in this truly important
