FAULT In TRAINING
TOO MANY PARENTS NOT CON

so funny. And yet the principle IN
yolved in both instances Is the same
and the poor child is the sufferer.
Little William had been taught not
to touch the piano and very seldom
disobeyed. but one day he grew rest
less. and watching mother and Aunt
Mary out of the corner of his eyes
went over to the piano and down came
the little fist on the shiny keys. He
walked away with such look OF
complete innocence that mother and
auntle both laughed heartily, and
auntie caught him up with a kiss and
carried him out to see the Kittens
But the next day when mother and
William called on the new minister's
wife the little boy soon discovered the
piano and started to play, His mother
spoke to him, but he paid no heed,
so she rose and started to close the
piano. but Master William objected
and there were angry screams and
mother had to carry the little boy to
her chair. And why not? Yesterday
1t had been a play; they had laughed
at him then, so why not today? IL
was injustice to his baby heart and he

"DRY FARMING" IN ILLINOIS
No Section Of the Country But Where
Enough Rain Falls for Crop II
Conserved.

To some extent, farmers even in this
favored section of the world, can learn
something by studying the process
known as dry farming" for rains do
not always fall here exactly when they
are needed. says Joliet Qll) Herald.
Those western farmers who have to
contend with scarcity of water are
learning the value Of It, and how to
take care Of it-a thing that few OF us
In this part OF the world ever think
about. The old fellow who used to
show up at the water cooler every
morning and consume about quart
OF the coolest water he could obtain
had the correct idea when he said:
mo teetotaler knows how good water
Is" No man who lives In this coun
try really knows the value OF moisture.
because there is seldom time when
1t Is not to be had
The dry farming" convention shows
that If land 10 prepared in a certain
way, It win retain moisture much
longer than when 1t is not so prepared.
Every farmer understands that He
understands that where the soil is
loose and loamy II retains moisture
longer than when It is packed and
hardened He also understands that
where the soil Is covered with straw
or leaves 1t holds the water better
than where II Is exposed to the rays
OF the sun. Those are the cardinal
principle Of dry farming"--to so pre-.
pare the soil that for many days after
rainfall the moisture will be held in
the ground and not allowed to run off
or evaporate too rapidly
There IL not a section Of this coun.
try but where enough rain falls to
make crop. II 1t were conserved. In

CARE OF THE RUGS
THEIR WELFARE IN SUMMER 10
ALL IMPORTANT.
Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned ano
Aired Before Putting Into Stor-

DDS Of Caring for Them.

astonishing extent.
Before sending the rugs on their
storeroom vacation the chamber itself
should be well cleaned. Use perfect
" cold water for the scrubbing and
naphtha soap; then when floor shelves
and painted walls are dry go over all
the woodwork with clean rags
smeared with kerosene. The moth
miller has no fondness for petroleum
and so this device alone will keep II
out of the storeroom.
The rugs themselves must be thor
oughly beaten, cleaned of spots and
hung in the broad air for some hours.
A Turkish rug will stand soap and
water scrub admirably and where IT
is feasible light one may be put en-
tirely in a tub and washed like a
sheet After the airing beat the rugs
again, using a strong rattan beater
then spread smoothly and spray with
a strong black pepper tea. Have pre-
pared some wooden rollers about two
inches through and as long as the
rug Is wide. First put over the rug a
sheet made Of newspapers pasted to-
gether, then place the roller on top
gin to roll, keeping the wooden prop
straight all the time. Cover the roll
with more paper pasted together, then
insert 1t in round bag made Of tough
manila paper and paste all the loose
ends securely. AS long as there are
no loose seams in this outer bag no
moths can get in, but further pre-
caution would be to spray the bag
lightly all over with pepper tea.
Cheap rugs and old carpets will not
need quite so much care, but If they
are to be kept entirely free of moths
they should be looked after. Beat,
sunbrush and spray these in the same
way as rugs, then roll them between
newspapers, with a thick sprinkle of
gum camphor between the folds.
