Farm Plans.

1t is often said that farm car
not be SLAMMED as other kinds OF
business are; that the vissitudes al
weather, the yisitations of insect
pests or plant diseases. the low
prices that may prevail when the
farmer has to sell, and other unfore.
seen circumstances may interfere tc
make all farm plans almost worth.
less from a practical standpoint.
This is often quite true with refer.
ence to plans made for a particula,
year. But when the plans are biased
on average, conditions for long
series of years, then the objections
do not hold. For while one can MOI
tell what may happen during any
particular season. he can foretel
with considerable accuracy what the
average conditions will be over q
series, say, of ten years.
The whole business of insurance Is
based on the reliability Of average.
II can not be 'foretold just who out
of a Thousand persons will die mex
year, but it can be stated with much
certainty about how many person.
out of the thousand will die Plans
for the farm, likewise, must repre-
sent and be based on average condi
lions and not on single years. TIL,
farm plan must be made for a peri
cd OF years and not for singl,
year.

Questions as to the adequacy of To-

in West Virginia as we'll as in other

demands OF the complainant are IN

an imperfect understanding as to

other party to the controversy. In
other cases there may be Just ground

EUN WITH THE PASTOR

Rev. Charles E. Mccormick, d. D.,
pastor of the Pennington Avenue
Methodist church of Hartford, Conn,
and one of the best known Methodist
clergymen in the state, is a student of
human nature. He likes to frequent
public places in a layman's garb and
study his fellow men. One warm day
this spring, while on a visit to New
York, he was sitting in Madison square
when a neatly dressed stranger ac-
costed him from a bench across the
walk. Soon the two were engaged in
conversation.
Are you interested in horse racing"
asked the stranger.
II like a good horse" was the nom
whose business suit, crush hat and neg
ligee shirt belied his profession.
Say, I'm telegrapher and get some
dandy tips every day. Maybe you
could use some They're regular sure
thing"
Needless to say the offer was po-
litely declined, but as the stranger be-
gan to press the matter DIR. Mccormick,
with a twikle in his eye, told the fell
comiture was as pitiful as his depar-
ture was awkward and ludicrous.
day or two later the pason sat in
the same seat, and another stranger, an
old man with a long gray beard and
kindly face, sat down beside him. One
remark led to another until the clergy
man in a burst of confidence related his
previous experience. 1t tickled the old
man nightly. Chuckling in great glee
and slapping the parson on the leg he
exclaimed:
"He-he-he! That's a corker, old
sport! And he believed it!"-Success

KNITTED SQUARE SHAWL

Use two pounds three-thread Sax
ony yarn, a pair of rubber needles
about No. 4.
Wind all the yarn double. 1t is easier
to work with it in that way. Cast on
140 stitches and knit plain until the
shawl is square. Then bind off.
Knit the border separately on two
pairs of needles. The pair used for
the center of the shawl is taken for
the top of the border and a pair about
two sizes coarser for the edge.
With fine needles cast on thirty-four
stitches and knit one plain row.
Second roW-Fourteen plain with the
coarse needle, then finish row with the
fine needles.
Third row-Nineteen plain with fine
needles, then finish the row with the
coarse needles, at the end narrowing
one stitch. -
Repeat second and third rows until
twenty-four stitches remain. always
having the lower fourteen stitches of
each row knitted with coarse needles.
When there are twenty-four stitches
on the needle begin to increase instead
of narrowing, widening one stitch on
every second row until there are again
thirty-four stitches, always knitting
the lower fourteen stitches with the
coarse needles.
Continue in this way, narrowing and
widening alternately, until the border
Is long enough to reach round the
shawl, allowing sufficient for corners,
Bind off and sew to finished square.

SHADOW WORK

This work derives it's name from
the fact that it is done on the wrong
side of the goods. Very thin and sheer
material must be used. 1t is generally
done with white floss on white lawn,
and is very pretty made up over Il
color but it may be worked with col
ored silk if DESIRED The design is
stamped lightly on the wrong side of
the cloth, or, better still, use a cam
brio pattern by putting the material
over it and tracing the pattern with A
lead pencil. If there are veins in the
leaves and petals these are worked
with black stitch before the petals are
covered. The stitch used mostly is the
well known herringbone. The needle
is entered in the point of the petal and
a small forward stitch is taken on the
right side of the petal exactly on the
stamped line. Then the needle is again
entered into point of the petal and 4
small forward stitch taken on the
stamped line on the left side of the
petal. The needle is now entered into
the end of the stitch on the right and
the forward stitch taken, then on the
left, and so on alternately. AS the
stitches are taken first on one side and
then on the other the passing of the
thread from side to side covers the
space. These little forward stitches
form the outline of the petal on the
right side of the material so they must
all be the same size and must be eY-
actly on the lines of stamping. All the
scrolls and single lines of the design
are back stitched. When the flowers
have large seed centers French knots
are used these being made, of course.

circles are sometimes worked in satin

A FOOLS ERRAND

An Englishman of the ever-serious
sort, walked into the office of New
York liverman and asked to see the
finest trotter he had for sale.
II don't care about price," insisted
the Britisher, "but it must be very,
very fast horse"
The liverman explained that he had
a horse whose speed could only be
shown at night when the roads were
clear.
Meet me at 1 o'clock tomorrow
morning at the Claremont,' he said;
well be in Yonkers at o'clock, ana
that's going some"
Three hours later the Englishman
rushed excitedly into the liveryman's
office. 81 don't want the horse" puffed
the Englishman-'T won't have it at
all"
''Why not? He's fast" insisted the
liveryman.
"But what could 1 do in Yonkers at
2 O'clock in the morning. replied the
observation-disclosures Magazine.

HIS ROYAL HlGHNESS

The nervous baby grows up into the
nervous child. Unfortunatel" very rev
mothers have ever realized the posi-
bility of nervousness in babies. Ihey
seem to think that the nervousness
which is so common in children OF the
present generation is simr' cause
less aff1iction which has suddenly for
no reason chosen that particular child
for it's attention.
Even when a baby goes to the length
of having commissions the knowing
mother, though she may be terrified
for the moment, is very apt to say,
Its only Indigestion, and will pass off
at once, leaving him none the worse
afterWard."
She never stops to think why it is
that a slight attack of Indigestion,
which would have no effect on a grown
person, is sufficient cause for the seri-
Gus nervous upset seen in a baby's con-
WILSON'S
The commissions of the baby with in
digestion are the answers to nerve mes
sages sent to the brain from the stom-
ach; indigestion presumably sends SINH
lar messages to an adults brain, but
as the full-grown brain has greater
stability than the infantile one these
messages are resisted and no convul-
sive movements result
Don't Make 1t Laugh
AS matter of fact, just at this time
when no one is taking the slightest no
tice of the infants brain the nervous
tissues which compose it are in their
most critical state.
To begin with, the brain grows more
in the first two years than in all the
rest of life, and during this period
should be carefully shielded from any
thing which leads to functional activity

wise using it's intelligence. The habit
of playing with the baby, making 1t
laugh and crow to show off it's intelli-
gence, may delight the mother, but if
repeated with any frequency is simply
paving the way for normal baby to
grow up into nervous child.
Neglect Its Mind
The best treatment for baby during
its first year is to attend carefully to
it's physical wants, and to absolutely
neglect the fact that it has mind at
all. There should be no romping or
playing or, in fact, anything which can
interest or excite it's mind.
Next in Importance come proper feed
ing and correct training in sleeping
Bad nutrition is the great cause of the
nerves getting into that state which
easily leads up to nervousness, stam-
mering, ST Vitus' dance, and even con-
vulsions. If the nerve .centers and the
brain get insufficient food and sleep
they become exhausted and over
strained.
To be we'll nourished the baby must
not only have suitable food, but must
be fed at regular intervals.
The baby's nap should continued
until he is 4; at this time he should be
having fully twelve hours sleep. Be
tween and 10, ten and eleven hours
are required from 10 to 16, nine hours.
