WHY DON'T THEY?

An exchange wants to know
"Why don t the young men show
the gallantry Of their sex and
toe the mark like the men of
former days7 Instead Of hanging
over bars. sitting in club corners
chewing the rag and talking
scandal, they should be in the So
ciety Of good girls. planning hon.
eymoons and making straight the
path Of the future"
It seems that this condition
with the young man exists in mos
communities. It is very seldOn
that young man is seen out walk
ing in the evening with the girls
that is the number Of those who
are seen so doing can be counted
on the fingers. They are usually
found on the corners watching the
girls as they go by. It is still
more infrequent to find young
man escorting a girl to church.
OF course there are a few who do.
but a very few. At the theaters
you find the numbers of those who
attend alone are far greater than
those who accompany some sweet
girl.
The above state Of affairs seems
to be a sad commentary on the
young man Of today. But there
are many reasons that 60 toward
making this condition. When
the men of "former days. went
out with the girls promenading.
or to the theater,. or to any place
Of amusement, it was not consid-
cred necessary to have pocket
full of money, and to continually
have the hand in the pocket to
meet the various demands at every |
turn. There are few young men
who receiving meager salaries. |
can afford to go very often with |
the girls for this very reason. If |
they attempt to 60 with them
without spending several dollars
in an evening, they are perhaps
considered "out Of date" Many
times girls have been overheard
to remark about how much they

THE hay sHo1TAoH.

There is no doubt that they will
command a higher price the com
ling winter than ever known be-
fore. The dry spring and sum
mer has cut the hay crop short
almost everywhere, and the chan
ces are. that in many sections, cal
tie will have to be sold for lack
of forage to keep them. One pa
per is urging farmers to disk their
; stubble fields and sow timothy
and clover in August. This may
do in some Northern sections. but
in the South I would advise din
fe.rently. With land in good
heart and capable Of making a
good grass crop, would pillow well
and put in good order, and in
ISeptember or early October sow
Italian rye grass seed. Slowed
with a liberal amount OF seed at
that time. this grass will make a
fine hay crop in the spring. but
will not last, and had better be
treated as an annual Years ago
I visited a farm i'm New Jersey,
near New York City. where they
had just cut a crop Of this grass
of nearly three tons an acre from
seed sowed the previous Septem-
Der.
Do not think that you can do
this on poor land But with land
in a good state Of Improvement.
this grass will make fine crop OF
hay in shorter time than any L
know Of. and can be followed by
cowpeas in the spring and another
good crop Of hay made with 4 lib
eral use Of acid phosphst and
potash. and the land can be left
in the fall in crimson clover as a,
winter cover to be turned UNDER
for corn erection in the spring.
You can in this way get two good
hay crops and a soil cvOre and
in twelve months.
Then, Of course. there is still
time to SOW winter oats and vetch
for hay. and a magnificent hay
crop these make. If You have
peas, do not fail to save them for
hay. Save by all means the crob
grass that follows the early truck
crops and as I have before sug-
yested. even the ragweeds On the
;tubble fields will make forage
'or dry cattle, and even horses and
mules will eat them when cut in
bloom and well cured. Save the
.ntire corn slower and shred it il |
possible. If you have a silO, you

CUT THIS OUT
How to Dig, and load Yonr Irish
Potatoes.

An Opelousas firm gives the
following rules for digging, grad
ing and loading Irish potatoes:
Dig your potatoes in the coolo of
the morning and late in the even
ing; they must not be sunburnf.
Dig them when the earth is dry;
they must be clean and free from
dirt and scab; a pound of dirt in
a bag of potatoes will ruin the
sale of whole carload when it
reaches the big markets like
Kansas City, Chicagoa and st. Louis
Handle them very careful, do
not throw them around like hand
ling roughly would not hurt them;
they are easily bruised and a
bruised or mashed potato soon
rots, and a few rotten potatoes
will cause a whole carload to be
condemned.
Marketable potatoes must not
go through hole the size of ring
one and s~even-eights inches sn
diameter in a piece of white pine
board and when sacking size up
the potatoes with that hole.
Keep out the small ones for seed
for fall planting. Any pototo
that passes through the opening is
too small for the market.
Use only new bags containing
100 lbs. potatoes and SOW them
tightly to keep potatoes from
rubbing together; SOW them neat
ly to make an attractive looking
package when it reaches the
markets. Nice looking goods
command higher and better prices
than shoddy goods.
White Peerless and Red Trl1im-
phs must not be mixed together,
they go to different markets.
All potatoes must be loaded
in cattle or Slated cars.
See that the roof does not leak
don't load in leaky cars.
Place the sacks on end and
leave a space Of six inches be-
tween each row and sides of cars.

SO He Studied Law.

Editor Weiser, of the Allen
town Democrat, grows reminis-
cent at times and here is a story
he tells about a young man who
wanted to enter newspaper
work because it was easy, says
the Lake Charles Press:
Talking about newspaper
work and how fascinating it
seems to certain classes reminds
me Of an experience I once had
with a young chap who asked me
to use my influence to get him a
job as reporter. Do you think
you would like the work?' [
asked. Yes he replied, | sus-
pected that the:chap had Interior
motives, SO | asked. And is
there any reason why you want
to take up newspaper Work?p
Yes, hereplied, because | think
reporters have the greatest snap
on earth. They see theatrical
performances for nothing, they
get invited to all banquets and
swell social functions, see all the
baseball games without paying
and have a lot of other graft.
Young man. I said, you had
better forget your ambition to
become a newspaper man if you
have no higher ideals than those
you mention Perhaps it is
only in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things that my
young friend gave up the idea Of
becoming a reporter and studied
law"

MIKE OF new ORLEANS
Tbe Story of a Dog

UC 0kOLy Va 81
There lives in New Orleans a
dog whose life has been %eVentful
and whose friends are so numer-
GUS that some account OF him
will interest readers OF Our
Dumb Animals.
Mike is a Russian terrier,
born in London, who for many
years followed the seas. His
honest ways won friends both
ahoat and ashore, and with his
first master, who was a sea cap
tain, he visited most every port
in the world. Officers and sail
ors made much of Mike and
every one seemed to regard him
as a member of the crew. Some
time ago Mixes master fell sick
in New Orleans and died, and
no one felt sorrier than Mike.
Thereupon his seafaring days
were over and he was adopted
by another kind master. His
rowing disposition has changed
until he is now contented to live
quietly and enjoy the hospitality
of his MANY friends.
An unusual experience lately
befell Mike. The S. P. G.. A.
was notified that it was the de-
sire of the owner that Mike be
destroyed. When their agent
answered the surprising call he
found no such request had come
from the owner of the dog. In
vestigation showed that a post
man with a crouch against Mike
had made the call. It is prob
able that Mike had bitten this
postman, who had kicked him
merely because he was in his
way.
Mike is a unique character, "a
queer, stocky crippled old dog,
but as much a part of Gravier
street as the big national bank
opposite his masters house.

once said about a whole creation
groaning in pain and travail to-

enough to ask him: DO you, too,
Caleb, belong to that vast con-
tinuous line of upward-looking,

you, too, dimly conscious OF
waiting for something which is
destined to come somehow by
