The calf from the good COW is also

rm Willow ON THE rAnm

The rapid growth and. hardness of the
willow makes it aIm@t invaluable on
the prairie. II is not always a thing of
beauty, and IL has the Objectionable fea-
ture OF shedding its smaller branches
especially when the tree gets old-and
making a litter on the ground. How
ever. the prairie farmer usually wants
protection first, and can afford to wait
while for the beauty. The willow is
about the only tree which can give him
that desired protection in a short time.
The first planting of willows should
usually be made in the form of a wind
break. To obtain the best results, two
rows Of cuttings should be planted. about
eight feet apart and one foot apart in
the rows. This makes the plants closely
crowded in the rows. with plenty OF
room between the rows TO cultivate: and
for the first two or three years they
should be cultivated regularly as
corn. The full sunlight from the sides
causes them to spread sideways, with
many branches from the ground up.
They soon form an impenetrable hedge

AS children grow up, many serious mis-
understandings follow from the failure OF
parents to recognize their children So in
dividuaIity
They assume that the children are ex-
actly like themselves, when they are Of
ten totally unlike.
If they would recognize this unlikeness
and make allowance for it, the path to
understanding would often be smoother.
The many successes achieved in bring
ing up adopted children-children usual
ly, with very poor start, from unknown
and undesirable antcedents-show what
can be done when parents study their
child intelligently.
Parents are often mortified when their
children give more heed to the advice OF
others. other people look at the children
as individuals and study them without
assuming to know all about them, and
often discover traits entirely unsuspect-
ed by the parents. Children know and
appreciate when they, are being justly es-
timated.
Among the families of your acqueint-
ance how many-or rather how few
fathers and mothers really know their
own children
OFTEN parents and child are so diner
ent that they could not be expected tt
understand each other. But they ought
at least to understand that they are diff
ferent and make allowances.
1t is sad to see brilliant child In a
commonplace home trying to keep its
soul from overlooking the narrow limits
prescribed by it's parents-torn between
duty and dreams
IL is sadder to see a commonplace child
in a brilliant home driven and badger
ed, coaxed and threatened, forever fore
ed to attempt impossibilities and always
falling back hurt and Inundated.
Why can't people learn to let then
children alone? Why won't they ask
their friends to help them understand
their own? And if the child Is common
place, in mercy shame let him be COM
monplace! He won't rise to such heights
of happiness. neither will he fall to such
depths of misery. If the child is a gen.
Jus, in mercy's name give him double
chance. Don't get in his way and block
him just because you can't understand
him. Clear the track!-Erman ]. Ridg-
