been very hard on her. She is better
now. Up to the time she took lagrippe
she had been slowly improving every
since she reached the state. She came
here last September. The children and

nice weather that greeted us on our
arrival was of a very short duration.
We have been having snow to finish.
Yesterday was the worst day l ever
saw, it was a clear day, but the wind
blew so hard from tn, south that the
air was filled with drifting snow. There
were five trains tied up in the drifted
snow little west of here yesterday,

Still Kiss Goodnight.

Still kissing good night! All, do not let
it go,
That loving custom that the loved hearts
When little children in dear homes of
love
Clasp the dear threats that lean to them
above
And kiss good night to mother through
the years
Still kiss good night, in laughter or in
tears!
| sometimes think that when child
hearts begin
To feel, mid throbbing of the toill.and
din,
They've grown too old to kiss good
night, twill be
Sad for the world, the old simplicity
OF sweet, clean living, and bring in
their place
The roar and rumble of weaker race
Still kiss good night And kissing feel
how deep
The quiet heart may sink in nightly
sleep,
H wv clean the soul grows for the COM
ing day..
With all mean hatreds, envy, cast
away:
And that high love that families know,
which binds
From Infant years their souls, their
hearts, their minds

Buying Supplementary Feeds.

The farmer who has an abundance
Of corn and no other grain will find
it greatly to his profit If he will sell
part of his corn and buy other feeds
to furnish variety of rations for the
animals, as their systems thus would
be supplied with all the essentials
necessary to proper growth and de
velopment, and yet not require SC

Caution on Pasturing Alfalfa.

Caution on PdsturIn9 AiIdiId.
Alfalfa should be pastured with
very great caution. In fact, the
farmer who holds this matchless crop
in proper regard will pasture some
thing else and just use the alfalfa for
hay. But If the alfalfa is to be
pastured about half enough stock
should be kept on it to keep the
growth down. BY this method two or
three cuttings of hay will be obtained
in addition to the pasturage.
Another caution to throw out is that
it should be allowed to make good
start in the spring before the stock
are turned on, and should be allowed
to go in the winter with good cover
Under no conditions should it be
pastured in cold weather.

His parents were unable to send him
to school past the fifth rade, and were
compelled to put him at work at the

and put the surplus in the bank
When he was promoted in position he
stuck by his old friends, and made
new ones by working harder than be

WHAT IS NEWS?

Two of the Chicago papers, the Chi
cago Tribune and the Chicago Record
Herald, were given the full details OF
the tremendous good fortune that has
come 10 the Calumet district through
the locating of the Baldwin Locomo-
tive works at East Chicago.
Although this deal involves the
purchase of $40 acres of land at 81 900
an acre, or a total of $4,000 for the
land alone and will mean the building
of a 100000 plant that will en-
ploy 1900 men and result in addition
of $4,000 people to the Calumet dis
trict in which their papers circulate
extensively, these papers saw fit to
story.
A reporter for THE TIMES. not a
regular correspondent, anxious that
this district be given all of the ad
deal saw to it, without any thought Of
compensation. that every detail of this
transaction was given to the Tribune
The result was the greatest indif
ference to the story and a paragraph
tucked away off in a corner where i
would not be likely to be seen. Tn,
Chicago Examiner devoted a full
column ON the financial page to tn
story and the Chicago Inter Oceal
devoted nearly a column on the from
page to detailed recital of the facts
The correspondents of the Chicag
papers in this locality have been sui
<.jected to much criticism for their a
legged practice of sending out onl
stories of crime, graft and sensational
ism.
The facts are that certain Chicag
papers that are reputed to be col
