Never again could she have Boyd to

and smiling face, then breathed:

The humdrum woman who permits
every one, from the family cat to

much Of the jellyhsh type to excite

Nagging is objectionable. Anything
in the order Of personalities is not
in order in general conversation.
Women who bully their husbands,
gloat about the bullyragging and ad-

than to boast about her position as

SEASONABLE SALADS.

No dish is more designed to tempo
the palate than dainty salad care
fully prepared and temptingly served,
and no dinner is complete without it.
The best method of serving is ON
individual dishes, and the salad should
be heaped On crisp lettuce leaves and
prettily garnished with fresh parsley
or celery tips.
The variety Of salads is almost TN
limited, and below are a few of them,
also a recipe for an excellent salad
dressing, which if set in a cool place
can be kept indefinitely, and the
amount doubled or tripled according
to quantity desired.

Attention, Farmers.

Did you ever hear that the North
ern farmer could live on what the
Southern farmer wastes, and that the
hill farmer could live on what one in
the delta wastes? Waste is ruinous
companion. 1t benefits no one and
ruins the man who keeps it up In
this connection, If your plows, hoes
and other implements are in the field,
or exposed to weather, if your harm
ess is not washed and creased when
this is needed, if your wagon stands
without shelter, if you allow your live
stock to wander around exposed to cold
and rain-this, each and all, is waste.
If you have no protection for land in
the way of cover crops for winter,
such as crimson clover, wheat or rye
but are allowing the fertility Of your
soil to leach and wash away, if you
give no attention to preventing gullies
and washes, but let the rains carry
your soil away-this is waste and the
worst kind of waste.
If you are spending your time loaf
ing around country stores, sitting
around the stove. whiting sticks and
talking politics, then this is waste of
time. Some of us, and maybe most of
us, are INDUCING in one or all of the
kinds of waste mentioned herein. The
remedy lies with as. Each of us
knows. or can know, wherein he is
wasteful and by stopping this eternal
waste, we can not only better our own
and that of our families, but |
we will better the condition of the
South generally.
If there be any reader who can look
over his farm and find no waste, then
this is not intended for him, but for
lis wasteful neighbor, and he will
please call his neighbours attention
hereto But first, let each of us see
or not there is waste on our
part that can be stopped. - Memphis
