RAISING GOOD CALVES.
For the Best Results . Deep. Clean
Bed 10 Necessary.

An authority on dairy matters re-
Gently visited farm where the calves
were in very poor condition. They
looked as If they had been starved for
month. When feeding time arrived
the owner gave them good. generous
feed. He remarked that he did not
know why his calves were not thrifty
He was surely giving feed enough. and
It was of the right kind
The pen had not been cleaned nor
bedded for some time. 1t was located
in a very inconvenient part of the
barn. The other parts Of the premises
were kept clean and bedded, but that
calf pen was always neglected
The calves would seldom lie down
and then only when completely OK
hausted They were always restless
and uneasy The owners attention
was called to this. The pen was clean
ed and bedded. That afternoon every
calf was found lying down and seemed
to be perfectly at home.
The next morning the pen was again
cleaned and bedded, and this was
thereafter made regular practice. AT
the end of two weeks there was an en-
tirely different looking bunch of calves
in the pen. The tired look was gone.
A good bed, light, cleanliness and
fresh air add much to the contentment
of live stock. Contentment is just as
essential as good feed in the success

ed they will not make the desired
gains

PROFIT IN SPRING PIGS.
BY Judicious Management They Can
Be Kept Growing Continually.


If Il contract were taken to raise a
certain number of pounds of pork in a
season it would be much wiser to pro
duce it with spring pigs weighing
when finished not to exceed 100 pounds
than with fall pigs that should be
made to weigh 300 to $50 pounds, says
a popular breeder. 1t should be the
aim of every farmer to get his spring
pigs to the $50 pound mark as soon as
possible. The one thing to keep in
mind is that the best profit is the con
tinuous growth, and by judicious man
agement this weight may be secured
In five or six months.
Full bloods of high grades make the
best growth and profit. And it should
be borne In mind that it is not feed
alone that guarantees success. The
man who does not cultivate a love for
stock and does not feed and care for
them properly cannot expect the high
est success To make sows pay the
best dividends they should be watched
closely and bred again as soon as pos
sible after farrowing. AS a general
thing, this is in about two weeks.
1t is of the utmost importance to
guard against indigestion both in the
sows and pigs. This condition is often

AN INNOCENT VICTIM.
The Original Of Squeers Died Of
Broken Heart.

The grossest injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on a fellow being was
his too accurate portrait Of an inno-
cent man in his Squeers. That York
shire schoolmasters were. as rule,
cruel and wicked enough it is true, but
the particular schoolmaster who was
recognized and who recognized him
self as the original Squeers seems to
have been an exception to the rule.
1t will be remembered that Dickens
and his illustrator travelled together
to the north of England for the pur-
pose of collecting material for Mick
leby" and especially for the Dothe-
boys episode. At Great Bridge they
visited a boarding school known as
Bowes academy. The master, William
Shaw, received the strangers with
some hauteur and did not as much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
Of penmaking during the interview
Phiz sketched him In the act; Dick
ems described the act. The personal
pecularities of William Shaw were
recognized in Squeers. Shaw became
butt of popular ridicule, lost his pu-
pills and finally died of a broken heart.
Yet there is abundant evidence to
prove that he was a really excellent
and kind hearted man. who was made
to suffer for the misdeeds of his neigh
bors.-EXChange

An easy way to make soap:
For five pounds of fat drippings
Cleaned and clarified by boiling
it up with water and when cold
taking it off in a solid cake) use
a can of I've, five cents worth Of
borax "a half pound and two
cents worth of ammonia. Dilute
the lye with six cupfuls of water
When thoroughly dissolved add
the boraX and ammonia and stir
in slowly the fat, melted but not
hot. Stir for eight minutes,
when it should look like honey.
Have ready a large box, wooden

WomanIy Wisdom,

Do not forget to congratulate
mother on her birthday.
Equal parts of skinned milk
and water, warmed, will remove
fly specks from vanished wood
work or furniture.
Don't see why the oven doesn't
bake good? Just scrape the SCOT
and ashes out from under it and
you will get an eye-Opener on the
subject.
Mattresses will wear better
and be more easily handled if
made in three pieces of equal
size, two to lie lengthwise and
one across. The wear can be
distributed evenly, and they are
especially convenient in case of
illness, as they are easily moved
and aired.
Blessings on the wife who sits
down without a bit of grumbling
and mends all the holes in the
socks of the entire family every
week. Every week, mind you.
If she did not there would soon
be nothing but one great big hole
to tackle, and that would mean
money for new pairs.
The prudent young man who
is looking for wife who will
wear well, takes note of the
appearance of her mother. If
she is neat and trim, and looks
as if she had help with the work
and kindly and loving care, he
may safely infer that her daugh'
ter will make a good wife.

BY CYNTHIA GREY.

What does your husband mean
when he speaks of you as my Wife,?
Is he CHASING you in with his pipe
and HIS shoes and his umbrella?
What do you mean when you speak
OF him as MY husband?" Are you
thinking of him as "lord and mas
ter" or as q companion and partner
In matrimonial enterprise, upon equal
terms?
A Pennsylvania Russian who killed
his wife seeks to justify his act by
this explanation:
Il had a right to kill my wife. It's
nobody's business but my own. She
was mine"
He only carries to extreme length a
still surviving and by no means un-
common theory Of the marriage rela-
ton.
Few men may claim the right Ia
Kill their wives. but many maintain
the right to beat them and abuse
them. to dictate their conduct, to pre-.
scribe their goings and their comings
and to curtail In thousand and one
ways their individual liberties.

that he would have had plenty OF

The ten commandments place in the

accept this literally, and class the

respect that she. too, Is personal prop

The "unwritten law" we hear so

Many an otherwise intelligent
American also fails to realize that
my wife," like my country" and
my friends" is a phrase implying not
proprietorship, but privilege and obli-
cation.
The courts of the land are congest-
ed with divorce cases largely because
we will not understand that the mar

AN EDITORIAL FOR WOMEN

They go to their beds weary-not OF
well-doing, but because they're dissat'
isfied their day OF selfish labor has
left them jaded and unrecompensed-
they know not why.
The woman who works, IL she will
but look upon her vocation In an en-
thusiastic. whole-hearted way, may be
sure that at the close of her day
while she Is probably more tired ply
sically than Mrs. Blank, she Is men
tally far better on than her monoyed
neighbor.
II she only Wills II, her work is an
elevating, educative process--the re.
suits OF which could come In no other
possible way. The spur Of necessity
compels her, when she looks at things
rightly. to develop the best that Is In
her. Stamina. nobility and womanli-
ness are brought to maturity In her
nature by the necessity OF labor.
But-she cannot make real sue
cess In life when she wastes time In
envy of Mrs. Blank. and In grumbling
all the while because she must do
this drudgery or that. Grumbling Is
q confession OF weakness, and Is de-
moralizing, hence none OF US can az
ford to form a habit Of doing things
in a half-hearted, grudging manner.
We should go ahead In the spirit
of conquerors. and SO get the lesson
and power out Of the fight that come
only to the conqueror. We must take
pride In doing our work well-we
must keep our standards up sand our
ideals high to earn our own self-re-
spect-for that means to us content
ment and happiness far beyond the
dreams of the grumbler.
