For ones own character, therefore, one

advanced in years, who let her husband
and then her children make such a slave
of her that truly she does not know that

fineness of the soul changes and hardens

women. desire power. but it must be re-
sisted for the sake of the soul. No man
can play providence TO others without
great danger to himself.
One of the most unhappy women I
ever knew told me that at home her
father had been such a tyrant that the
only way TO have peace. was to do his
way. Her sister rebelled, and so did
her brother, consequently this woman
and the mother had completely lost their
will power i'm their efforts to keep things
pleasant. She had to go out into the
world to make. a living, and very poor

She knew il, and finally attached herself
to a dominant character and today is
nothing but a repetition of that other
character.
Happiness requires that a man should
have a sphere of action of his own, a
chance for decision and choice. And
no elaborate device for making others
happy can furnish any substitute for the
simple willingness to allow them room
for their own choices, for their own self
expression. Joy i'm friendship requires
this abundant room for liberty and the
individuality of your friend"
If such be the case in friendship. how

Dairy Notes

A. Babcock tester can be bought

Professor Err says the civilization
of a people can be determined by
the quantity of milk they use.
Sure, only highly civilized people
keep cows that give enough milk
to make it worth while to get into
the habit of making butter and
cheese.
The separator is a mighty good
thing Notwithstanding what the
separator manufacturers say about
each others machines.
The man who feeds each COW by
the same rule will never get the
most out of his herd.
Cows have peculiarities of taste

Milk is mostly waterfall milk,

leaves at the door. Cows cannot
make milk without plenty of water
and they like good water too.
At the old home farm, the cows
used to wade right through the
creek to come to the we'll to drink.
The old man educated those cows

Dear Miss Thomas:
Having been a reader Of the Household for
some time i have often thought, after reading
the good letters in the Household, I would
