The Fashionable Mother.

The mother who gives over her child
entirely to the care of an attendant
after school hours is typical Of the
times, for this the up to date parent
manages somehow, even on limited
means. What is the result? Lax table
manners, curt "yes" or mo" when
answering elders, and with relations
no manners at all; taking what is
wanted without permission from any
room, and raging at correction from
any source. OF course the mother re-
sents any criticism of her method and
will endeavor to explain away the tan
trums as nervousness.
She wants her child-when grown up
at least-to have the manners Of her
class, but she does not seem to realize
that these will probably not be ac-
quired from hired attendants, nor will
years of struggling entirely obliterate
the effect of early influence. That ev-
cry small girl should at least have
luncheon with her mother and occa-
sionally be her companion for driving
or calling, seems q not unreasonable
demand. but many fashionable moth
ers are unwilling to- make even this
small sacrifice, il that can be called
sacrifice which ought to be the highest
privilege.

There is more than one reason for
letting the children blow soap bubbles.
It's good, harmless fun, for one thing,
and keeps them out of worse mischief.
1t can result in nothing worse than
little soap in the eyes and little soap
suds on the clothes, bob of which are
comparatively harmless.
But it is more than good fun. It is
beneficial to the lungs. There are doc
tors who recommend it as an excellent
way of exercising the lungs, and hence
greatly strengthening to them.
Deep breathing exercises are freely
Recommended, but who could think Of
anything stupider than pulling in and
putting out great gulps of fresh air.
How much more fun to see who can
blow the biggest bubble!
Bubble blowing is better for children
than some Of the lung developers that
are sold. The soapsuds will rarely hold
long enough to do harm to the lungs
by overextending them or by too long
effort.
To blow very big bubbles try putting
piece of rubber tubing about seven
inches long on the narrow end Of q
funnel. Invert the mouth of the fun
mel in the soapsuds as you would the
bowl Of pipe, then blow as hard as
you can through the tube and note
how you expand your lungs as well as
make wonderful soap bubbles.

Improving the Herd.

There Is only one way known under
heaven Of improving the quality of a
pure bred or a grade herd of cows
that is, by the constant use of the very
best and most prepotent bulls that can
be obtained, good care and generous
feeding. Any letting down of the idea
of quality In the sire will surely result
in corresponding degeneracy Of his
heifers, to be shown In their future his
tory as cows. Farmers are not saving
money by sowing poor seed In any
thing. When will that idea become
dominant in their minds 2-Hoard' s

Tobacco For Sheep.

have helped dlssect lambs dying of
tapeworm that had had all the tobacco
they would eat for months previously,
writes Joseph e. Wing in the Breeders
Gazette. 1t may help some, but assur-
edly 1t will not prove sure preven-
tive of tapeworms. Tobacco seems to
aid greatly in keeping down nodular
disease and stomach worms. The Sc
cret of success seems to be to salt the
tobacco only very little, then feeding
it in unlimited amounts and giving no
otner salt. 1t seems to do the sheep no
harm to eat 1t in fairly large amounts,
and most failures in its use come from
nsing too little of 1t.

The time chosen for d christening is

weeks old, though when there is diff
Guilty in deciding upon a name IL is de-
ferred
The first step in this ceremony is the
choice of sponsors. Parents should
request only those relatives and near
friends who are likely to have the
time and disposition to keep their
'promises they are called upon to make.
Two women and one man usually are
sponsors for girl, and two men and
one woman for boy, though one god
father and one godmother suffice for a
child of either sex.
Usually the mother writes to ask the
service of the friends or relatives de-
cided upon toltake the vows in behalf
of her baby. but there is no reason
why the request should not be made
verbally.
Aside from the sponsors and near
relatives, only few intimate friends
OF the husband and wife are asked to
be present at the christening, and the
wife issues brief notes of invitation to
them.

EGG PRODUCERS
OF THE FUTURE
Indian Runner and Orplngton
Ducks Are Prolific Layers.

In the near future we shall look
largely TO ducks for our egg supply,
writes ]. e. Cummins in Western
Poultry Journal. The new breeds of
egg producing ducks that lay white
shelled eggs, the Indian Runner and
the Buff Orpington duck, are now
helping to solve the egg prGosem. The
growing In favor is wonderful.
The Indian Runner is the best known
and Is coming to the front by leaps
and bounds. 1t is beautiful bird that
natures very quickly and Is usually
shelling out the eggs Mt four months of
age, 1t is no trouble at all to produce
the second generation Of Indian Run
ners the same season. Their eggs
hatch readily. but must be placed I'M
der hens, as the Indian Runner never
sits.
This duck is smaller than the Orp-
ington duck, but lays nearly as many
eggs. sometimes above 250 year.
When we remember that three duck
eggs are the equal of five hen eggs In
weight and food value, and that the
annual production of Runner is
equivalent to 400 hen eggs, We get q
proper idea Of its value as utility
fowl.
This duck is a great forager and re-
qulres little or no feeding when given
free range. preferring grass to grain
1t is very hardy and prefers to roosi
outdoors ON the ground, except in Sc
we're weather. The housing is sim
pie problem and fence twenty y-foul
inches high IL sufficient.
The flesh Of the Indian Runner Is
especially fine in quality and early In
maturity, and can be produced at less
expense, pound for pound, than the
ordinary market duck. but 1t is ever
more profitable as an egg producer.
