LET THE WIFE AND CHILDREN
HELP.

Husbands and fathers are largely to
blame for the poor arrangement of
many places where women expend
their vital force and energy. This is
n~oticeably true of country homes, the
wife being seldom given a voice in
the planning of the house where she
is to spend the greater part Of her
time.
This, too IN face Of the fact tina al
most any ordinary woman has given
more thought to the matter than has
the ma who never had any house
work to do.
Children, too. nave their rights, and
one right is to assist in the work about
the home Systematically. in order that
the wheels of the domestic machinery
may run smoothly. These duties should
be faithfully exacted not only for the
sake of helping, but for the good CT
the child.
It should be a criminal offense to
raise children in ignorance of the prac-
teal things Of life-the little things
upon which very much comfort and
happiness depend.

4 WINDOW GARDEN FOR
WINTER.

The drawing shown herewith illus
trates a simple greenhouse that any
one handy with tools can easily make.
1t consists OF ordinary WindoW-sash
fastened together on three sides and
to the sides and sill Of the window.
The roof is also a sash. It is loose
and hinged at the top. It may be
raised to any desired height, serving
as a yentilator to the growing plants.
The best results are to be had from
a south or southeast window.
The shelves are rs inches apart.
In shorter windows the shelves ma
be closer, or fewer in number.
Sufficient heat may be supplied from
the living room. or wherever there is a
constant fire during the winter.
This is where the plants of early
cabbage, caulifiower, eggplant and to-
matoes may be started, also the pansy,
asters, petunias, nasturtiuTns and other
free Towering ANIMALS.
On the bottom shelf is a galvanized
pan, 6 inches deep. This is filled with
rich soil composed of leaf-mold AMI
highly fertilized garden SOIL. In this
the seeds are planted; the pot plants
re arranged upon the shelves.
The whole thing should be put to-

the home when colo weather comes.
A pan of water on the stove is an

and many regrets among those interest
ed IN the future welfare of the sport.
However unjust the charge may be it
is nevertheless very commonly urged
that judges are incompetent or unduly
Influenced by feelings of friendship or
prejudice, and it is unfortunately true
that under the present system of judg-
ing horses there is no way by which
these charges can be disproved or sub
stantiated. So long as the judges make
their awards without giving any reasons
for them they are open to attack on any
and all grounds, and are, in measure,
themselves defenseless, while the dis.
appointed exhibitor has no means of
really knowing his horse was beaten.
SO much dissatisfaction with the
Judging at oil shows may we'll excite in
quiry as to whether the system of iudg
ing is not at fault. In Judging almost
all kinds of animals excepting horses it
is customary for the experts who award
the prizes to use score cards or scale
Of points, in reaching their conclusions
as to the relative merits of the entries

improved breeds are SO judged, and the
