AFTER MARRIAGE
The Art Of shovelino.

In the American Magazine. Frederick
W.. Taylor shows graphically how SCI
entific management displaces the old,
crude rule-of-thumb methods, even in
such simple occupations as shoyelinr.
He writes:
Although the reader may be con-
vinced that there is a certain science
back of the handling Of the pig iron.
still IT Is more than likely that he is
still skeptical as to the existence of a
science for doing other kinds of labor
ing.
For example, the average man would
question whether there's much OF any
science in the work Of shoveling. Yet
there is but little doubt, IL any intelli-
gent reader OF this paper were to set
out deliberately to find what may be
called the foundation Of the science of
s%hoveling. that with perhaps Is or 20
hours of thought and anlysis he would
be almost sur to have arrived at the
essence9of this science. On the other
hand. SO completely are the rule-of-
thumb ideas still dominant that the
writer q never met q single shovel
contractor to whom it had ever even
occurred that there was such a thing as
q science of %shoveling.
For the first-class shoveler there is
q given shovel load at which he will
do his biggest days work. What is this
shovel load? Will a frst-class man
~O WAN v q Wl(IL a 61IOVGI
load of five pounds, 10 pounds il
pounds. 20 pounds, rs, 80, or &C
pounds? Now, this is a question whict
can be answered only through carefully
made experiments. BY irst selecting
two or three first -cl ~shovelers, pay
ing them extra wages for doing trust
worthy work, inc then gradually vary
ing the shovel load and having all the
conditions accompanying the work
carefully observed for several weeks at
a time by men who are used to expert
menting. 1t was found that a hrst-class
man would. do his biggest days work
with a shoea load Of about 81 pounds.
For instance, that this man would SHOW
Ell a larger tonnage per day with q 21-
pound load than with q 24-pound load
or than with an 1S-pound load on his
shovel. It 10. Of course. evident that
no shoveler can always take a load of
exactly 81 pounds on his shovel. but
nevertheless. although his load may
vary three or our pounds one way or
the other. either below or above III 81
pounds, the shoveler will do his biggest
days work when his average for the
day IL about 81 pounds"

Tho comina of sprrna.

Here in the town the gypsy spring comes
slowly.
Leaving woodland blossoms in the VEN
doris grimy baskets,
And weaving April sunbeams across the
dingy street.
But out on the hillside, she passed me like
a shadow,
Arbutu at her girdle. and its fragrance
filled the air:
l heard her laughing softly by the
ice imprisoned waters.
With silver pussy-willows in her blossom
scented hair.
Low DER the hillaides. before the twi-
lights falling,
She swung her silver lantern through
the smoke filled sunset haze;
And through the budding birches where
her vagrant footsteps wandered.
The first shy windflowers nodded white
beside the woodland ways.

Steady. now! Don't rush into the

accustomed to the strain.
The toad is the gardeners friend.

A man with a large family can live
better on the farm. where money
grows. than in the city, where money
gOes.
Take time to look into every project
that is suddenly sprung on you. Life's
greatest successes come out of the
most careful consideration.
Can't you fix it so hat you will not
have to buy any garden stuff this year?
OF course you can. What any farmer
can do, you can. Get right at it now

Surprise yourself n the neighbors.

Nearly, or quite four times as much
candy is produced in the United States
as was made 10 years ago The census
figures, when completed, will bear out
this statement. Candy factories have

It is estimated that the factory value
