had seen many domestic tragedies
which had Happened because OF the
principals having been deprived Of
their youth.
Mrs. Austin, (the author) said in
her address:
II have learned that in a great ma
jorfty Of cases the man Of forty or
thereaboEss Wac has grown tired Of
his wife bsesuse her beauty has fad
ed and refuses TO support her any
longer, so that she has to appeal to

work when be was thirteen TO help
maintain his parents or brothers and
sisters. By the time he reaches mid
die life his moral muscles, which
were gtrafned and stretched beyond
their proper capacity when they we're
still soft and unframed, have become
feeble, II they haven't snapped en-
tirely, ana he can't be depended upon
for anything"
There's }et of truth in that, and
there is also the other side-that
affecting The waaaan.
AS rule, the wives OF these men
have also been deprived of their
DA4 IAE4 Sde4l LHSy TOO
have had To take up the RESPONSE bill
ties Of life before they had enjoyed
any Of It's tnnoceRt pleasures.
II al the domestic tragedies were
confined to the poorer people, there
wouldn't be ra1ch difficulty in adjust
ing matters, and a change would be
bound TO oecar; but all classes are
affected, and 1t is due almost entirely
to the forcing OF mature views and
ideas GA our children
Ia the society column of paper
published ia q small Southern town
was aR item ehroRie1eing the meeting
of club OF young girls. The writer
knew all OF She elabs members, had
known them from their "geA cart"
days and not enc of them is yet SIX
teen year cid. But they played
briaga, and the prizes were the sanae
as tkes@ their mothers and big sisters
play fog.
Isn't that pitiable illustration Of
how eur young are deprived Of their
youth? These little women will be
Werla weary by the time they are
twenty-five, eyRies at thirty and prob
ably reckless with the futility Of it
all at ferry.
The &vtheg speaking further Of the
young people said the young girls
should nat have the bEeem worked
off them" by tee close application to
labor In shops and factories.
While 1T Is true that the laboring
girls have rather hard time OF it,
somehow they seem to get more out
of life. They enjoy their pleasures
with a keeneF zcst. Their friends
are trner, In the larger sense, and al
together they have the opportunity for
happiness, if they will not try to ape
the customs and manners of the
Weather ones, than the daughters
of the rich.
Candidly-the lives of demarcation
are not so closely drawn between our
Glasses" as some of our writer's
would have MS believe, but it is to
be regretted that the young of all
classes are eqUa1 sufferers when it
comes to assuming early the respon-
sibilities and worries of their class
whether these be social or Industrial.
The greatest phase of the tragedy
is: the aging of the woman SO much
more quickly than the man.
If woman could keep alive her in
terest in things outside the narrow
confines of the home; II her domestic
burden was not so heavy, perhaps
there womb be fewer cases for the

Maybe il the elasticity Of youth
could be held longer by all of us,
there would be fewer tragedies any
way, bat we have no right TO Eopea en-
our children the worries that beset
us, nor the pleasures which may
mean life to us.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Indian Runner Ducks.

The Indian Runner ducks are very
easily and quickly raised. being nearly
full size at eight or ten weeks Of age.
If Matched early and wen cared for
they will lay In the fall and make
good layers until five or six years of
age and will lay as we'll as any chick
Ell hep, and there is much less labor
in caring for them. They are not sub
ject to disease and do not have lice
or mites, which is quite an item In
poultry raising.
Indian Runner ducks are to the duck
family what the Leghorns are among
the chickens. The large pure white
eggs are characteristic of the breed as
the white eggs are of the Leghorns.
Green eggs are certain proof Of i'm
purity. Hollis Fawn and white strain
are everlasting layers Of white eggs
and are great money makers, They
are great layers and small eaters,
which IL a very desirable trait They
can be Matched MS late as September
and get their growth and be ready to
lay before cold weather When they
are properly fed and cared for they
will begin to lay at the age of four
months and will lay continuously.
| Their eggs are fine for culinary pur-
! poses and will sell for 3 to = cents
more per dozen than hens eggs Farm

Profit In Draft Mares.

We keep six heavy mares to do our
farm work-two three-horse teams.
All of these mares are bred to the best
stallion we can find near home, and
we usually get two or three colts a
year. writes a New York farmer In
the American Agriculturist. All Of the
mares are bred and worked about the
same until foaIing time, when those
that have colts need about ten days
rest. Then they may begin work
again, only with little better feed
and care. After the colt is weaned
he can be grown almost rs cheaply as
a calf and if well fed AZ two years
old should weigh from 1000 to LOO
pounds and can begin to pay his way

Poultry Notes,

There are many pet theories on how
to make the hen lay proftably, but
here IL the secret IN few words:
Feed her well, house her comfortably
and keep her free from lice.
The large producing hen ~ the re
suit Of unceasing care and effort upon
the part Of her owner.
You can't expect profits from the
hens unless you feed them right and
give good care generally.
The hen that Is confined in damp
house or must stand on damp floor
win never lay probably.
The chickens need plenty of sharp
grit or gravel. Its what keeps their
teeth In commission.
