but not full crop.
II transplanted In the fall without
any soil clinging to the roots. the
plants should not be allowed to bear
fruit the following season.
This is important. because when all
OF the roots are dislodged It takes a
long time for the plant to recover
from the shock and form new roots.
None OF the old ever takes a firm
hold in the ground unless new feeders
start and while the strawberry grows
or hibernates all winter. the growth is
less rapid when the ground is cold
than It is In the spring and summer.
A great many people believe fall
is the proper time to set strawberry
plants.
They take up the plants or send
their order to some nurseryman, as
the case may be. and handle tho
plants Just as they would in the
spring. Now. this Is all wrong.

farm pretty busy the year round.
As these plumes are very much in
a good price. the profits Of ostrich
farming are large. The industry has
proved a very profitable one.
The southern part Of the Pacific
coast is admirably adapted to ostrich
rearing.
The climate is warm and dry. and
these big awkward clumsy creatures,
grow and thrive as well as on the des.
erts Of South Africa.

The great success which has atten.
ded ostrich farming in Cape Colony,
has caused number of other
South African countries to take up the
industry with great zest. This has
caused some uneasiness in Cape
Colony. as It is feared that there may
be an overproduction Of low-Quality
plumes. The market for high.grade
feathers is capable Of expansion.
The export Of ostrich feathers from
Cape Colony has increased year after
year: 1t amounted last year to 7s2,725
pounds. valued at $10.490.425. While
the Cape Colony farms contain about
100000 tame ostriches, there arc but
10000 tame birds in all other coun.
tries combined.
At the present time ostrich farming
Is carried on in Europe. Madagascar.
Argentina. Australia, New Zealand.
and In California, Arizona and Florida.

LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Should a Wife Have a Stated Personal AHowance2

The financial side Of the matrimonial
problem is receiving an attention nova
days never awarded 1t In times past
What many a wife has suffered in the
years that are gone from having TO ask
her husband for every penny no one VIII
ever know. But that was the programme.
When a husband was generous or the wife
the stronger spirit, possibly there was no
feeling Of humiliation. But. 10 judge by
the confessions OF many a wife, IL was
most CALLING 10 her pride TO be COM
PEELED 10 ask for money she needed and
TO have 1t doled out TO her grudgingly or
as a favor.
Today however, the business woman
who is accustomed to earning and spend
ing her own money without question from
any one will not stand for the oldume
money arrangement between husband
and wife She wants her own income.

Of her getting it. She doesn't believe in

out Of the household allowance without
the family knowing it.
The Washington herald., 1910-02-12

II is not only a matter Of justice TO his
wife TO make such an arrangement, but
Ii is far more economical. The woman
who knows exactly how much she has for
dress and other personal expenses can
plan her expenditures much more wisely
than the woman who must go II blind.
Knowing, for instance, that she has $50
for seasons wardrobe she can plan out
definitely how much 10 allow for each
part Of It. She can pick up bargains
when she runs across them. and other
wise buy like a sane and economical wO-
man. The wife who doesn't know
whether she viii have $ or so must buy
haphazard what she needs most whenever
she has the money. A man may think Il
is economy not 10 give his wife an al
lowance, but it is far from il, to say
nothing OF the injustice involved What
ever he allOwes himself for personal ex-
peuses and dress, barring possibly car
fare and lunches, which are a part Of
HIS necessary business expenses, should
be allowed her. Most women would be
satisfied with this arrangement. despite
the fact that it costs a woman more TO
dress than It does a man.

IN THE SICK ROOM.

Boracic acid is a simple home remedy.
Mixed with vaseline It forms one Of the
cheapest and safest ointments for cuts
and bruises. Boracic acid busted into the
sleeves of dresses. which have been worn
when exercising, removes all disagree
able traces of perspiration. Handker-
chiefs which have been used when colds
and influenza are prevalent, should be
sprinkled with boracic acid powder. or.
better still. should be STEPPED in strong
solution of 1t and water before being
sent 10 the wash.
Many physicians prescribe ice poultices.
These are easily made, and one trial will
prove their value as a soothing agent.
To make an ice poultice crush the ice
fine, then mix IT with a little raw flax
seed put it in a piece of thin muslin
and cover with rubber tissue folded over
tightly at the ends.
The value of the faxseed is that #
absorbs the moisture of the ice as il
melts. and thus the pOultice NAV be
retained in place much longer.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

Another wave Of elOpement has struck
US. and we are called upon 10 witness
the reckIessness with which young men
and women throw away their chances Of
future happiness. 1t Is needless TO say
that a scant percentage Of secret mar
riages turn out satisfactory. for there
is the divorce record to attest that the
great majority are repented, not in sack
cloth and ashes. but in notoriety which
does the principals no good.
There is Just one class Of secret mar
riages which have a legitimate excuse
those in which sickness or property
rights play part, and even those might
often be avoided The quiet wedding which
has the sanction OF family is not a Sc
cret marriage in the strict sense Of the
word, and 4 has much to recommend it.
The expense and fatigue of wedding
preparations are avoided, and they are
serious factors in a prospective brides
outlook. There was a time when the Gus
tom Of slipping away from ones friends
and marrying quietly was common
enough and generally applauded. but it
died out like other fashions.
The girl who does not cOnfide her heart
affairs 10 her mother is open 10 the sus-
picion Of being somewhat ashamed Of
them. She knows that her best interests
WIFI always be her mothers first consid-
Grafton, but fears the probe OF common
sense which considers the future more
than the present. Experience has taught
her mother that more IS TO be expected
of a husband than good looks and social
qualifications, that a mans ability TO
bear the burden Of matTimOny depends
upon character. health. and money-earn-
ing power. None OF these things are con-
sidered by an infatuated girl.
II has always seemed 10 me that par
entail disappointment must be heavy
cross. Mothers, in particular. make so
many sacrifices for their offspring that
gratitude seems only a just reward The
mother Of a girl who rashly marries a
young man of an alien race with Gus
toms differing from ours in what we re-
gard as essentials. must have to live
with fear Of consequences ever afterward.
In countries where more than one wife
is permitted an American girl must find
humiliation and suffering of the keenest
description because Of her home training,
and more than one has courted that fate
recently in a secret marriage.
It is not quite fsir TO place the blame Of
wicked lives wholly upon parental shoul-
ders. I have known girls who have been
brought up with the greatest care to
commit the greatest folly. They could not
explain their reason for going against
every one of the teachings Of their girl
hood or for wounding the best of parents.
They had the usual supply of sense, but
an ungarded moment was their destruc-
ton In every case repentance was sure.
but II came too late-the innocent suffer
ed with the guilty. I am not a believer
in long engagements, but believe in
sufficient time to give a reasonable as
surance Of happiness, not for a month or
year, but for lifetime, and that is not
a bad creed in which to rear sons and
daughters. Even then disaster may not
be averted. but there would he the con-
seriousness of a duty performed

the larger stalks for this, using the small
tender bits. either as a decoration for
any salad that is served. or serving on
