Because a home Is in the country-be.
cause it is on a farm-is only an added
reason why it should be more up-to-date
and attractive, for those who are fortu.
nate enough to live in the country really
spend more time in their homes than do
those who live in cities.
And it is also true that farm homes and
farm life is daily becoming more and more
attractive. The inside of our house is our
home, so why not make it nice and at
tractive, homely and cheerful, up-to-date
and modern.

Prices Of Milk

Prof. Voorhees,, of the New Jersey
experiment station, says: Farming
has been prosperous except for those
in the dairy business. The farmer
who sells milk for less than four cents
at the farm is undoubtedly a philan.
thropist. The dairy COW has increased
in price for $50 to SIS and now to
$125. Feed and labor have advanced
in proportion, and better grade of
men issdemanded and a higher grade
OF product required. Health boards
are composed of men who do not un.
derstand the problems with which the
dairymen have to contend, and they
often exact things really unnecessary
and let pass good many things
which should be investigated Men
familiar with stock and crops and feed
should be included on all boards Of
health.

The early settlers of the fertile re-
gions of the upper Mississippi valley
took with them trees of many stand
ard varieties of fruits of the longer
settled country farther east, but soon
found that they would not endure the
fiuctuating and severe winter weather
in combination with the hotter and
drier summers of the region. En-
couraged by the relative hardness
and productiveness of the Oldenburg,
Alexander, Tetofski and Red Astra-
chan apples. which. though of Rus
sian origin, had been introduced from
England by the Massachusetts, Hor-
ticultural society about 1885, efforts
were put forth to secure harder vari-

cites from the colder regions of Eu-

work in which the late A. G. futile
of Baraboo, Wis, the United States

Agricultural college and number of
nurserymen and fruit growers in va

introduced and tested, most have

A few valuable sorts have been thus
obtained, however, which are doubt

Portland Cement.

Portland cement has been produced
from the waste Stag of blast furnaces,
and new process-now being tested
in Liverpool-makes another useful
building material by adding sand and
sulphate of soda, sometimes with a
little lime to convert the Stag into
glass. With or without Enclosed wire,
this glass may be cast or rolled into
artificial states, paving blocks, bricks,
slabs or tiles. Much is expected from
the Stag roofing slate, which costs
less than half as much as the natural
slate of Wales, is translucent, can be
made of any size or shape In any one
or several colors, and is absolutely
rain proof. ...

Among the most promising hardy

Charles City. Ia, in 1869. Mr.. Patten

up. Telling the truth, when 1t ia
necessary to tell 1t. whatever 1t in
wolves, is about the best weapon you
can give boy or girl for fighting life.
later on. Besides, it keeps them sane
and wholesome now by nipping curl
osity IN the bud. So the old-fashioned
child-ergo the ell-brought-up-child-
has another chapter in his or her
training-the one which tells quietly
and simply of natural things, and so
leaves no loophole for the wrong les
SON from ill-bred, precocious little
comrades who have never known the
holy benefits of the mothers trust and
sympathy.
Another point which is not usually
touched upon in the book of etiquette
is the one of physical cleanliness. for
it is impossible to be clean within and
dirty without-quite impossible to be
a lady or gentleman with finger nails
in mourning and little ears all but
ready for the growing of spring
seeds. The girl or boy. then. who is
no. brought up to love cleanliness
next to godliness has small chance of
social success either now or later on,
for there is no greater handicap for
childish peace and pleasure than to be
dubbed dirty" child by ones school
mates. With the flower plot in the
ears, and the nails in mourning, the
fiEest dress or suit is hollow mock
cry. The child has only borrowed the
shadow of polite society, and not its
substance.
Many other things of equally trifiing
nature stamp the properly brought up
child. but as they are too numerous to
rentiop at length let me emphasize
the fundamental qualities required:
The well-bred child is soft-voiced,
modest and tender-hearted. 1t re-
spects the opinion of elders 1t is con-
sideIate OF all the old and for persons
in inferior position. 1t accepts and
adores quiet dress-thinks little in
deed about dress, unless the thing
concerns neatness. 1t honors its
father and mother and all other per-
sons in authority over 1t. 1t is wise
in matters that concern the welfare Of
its body and soul, and yet as chaste in
spirit as little flower
And how is all this to be accom-
plished? BY the mother leaving no
ste ne unturned to win her child's con-
fidence; by both parents being truth
FIJI with it in all matters; by their set
ting forth with every hour, in word
and deed, only such ideals as will en-
noble the initiating little mind and
body.
Day by day the parents must say to
themselves, II am training heart and
soul which belong to themselves and
to the great thing which do not un-
derstand. I must be good, good my
self. for their sakes!"
Let the mammies and daddies, then.
look first to their own notes in the
way of spiritual and polite conduct,
and heaven, or the blessed Providence
that stands for it, will take care of
the nicely trained little kiddie that the
world calls old-fashioned.

The Helendale stall was originated
upon the noted Helendale Guernsey
farm. 1t has not only been used with
unqualified success there but also up
on many other wellkRown places, says
Homestead. 1t has several points OF
excellence which merit consideration.
II includes a number of the merits
credited to the model and in addition
several other noteworthy features.
Among these is the crossbar which
prevents the COW from going too far
forward. This bar Is placed upon two
uprights and only permits the COW to
reach comfortably and easily into the
manager. 1t is adjustable so that 1t
NAV be raised or lowered to accommo-
date different sized cows. The cows
are secured in the stalls by means of
chains running from partition to par
tition. These partitions are hung on
self-centering hinges which force them
to return to the center when left free.
BY means of this device the partitions
are always in place and yet the gate
may be swung to one side to admit
the mixer and to make 1t easier to
clean out and bad down the stable.

Let me tell you Of some Bible
references for various mental ills.
1t will be well if you cut it out
and refer to it when needed. If
you have the blues read the
27th Psalm. If your purse is
empty read the 37th Psalm. II
your friends and family seem I'M
kind to you, read the 18th chapter
of John. If your work all goes
wrong and you teel discouraged,
read the I26th Psalm. If you
feel cranky. read the Twelfth chap
ter of Hebrew. II you have lost
confidence in those about you,
read the 18th chapter of First
Corinthians. If you can not have
your way in every thing and must
bow to the will of others. read
the grid. chapter Of James.
Old King Solomon who is said
to have been the wisest man
who ever lived. said "A merry
heart doeth good, like a medi-
cine. You certainly can not
have a merry heart if you are 60
ing around trying to find evil in
people. No matter how bad or
how unkind men and women APP
pear to be, back of it all hidden
somewhere in some secluded
place there is some good. and
just so sure as you love and trust
people you will be loved and
trusted by them. You had better
disa ppoint nine out of ten, than
to go about fearing to do good to
the right person, lacking conf
dence in mankind. If you dis
trust people they will distrust
you.
