Shall Girls Dance With Boys?

There are some harmless things
that the disciples Of the Lord Jesus
Christ refrain from for the i1ingdom
Of heavens sake And the beauti-
full fact Of life in Christ is that there
is no hardship, but only privilege,
in such renunciation, when il Is
plainly the will of the Master. A
minister wife in Ohio asks about g
question that confronts many girls:
We do not allow our sixteen-year-
old daughter to dance or attend the
theatres or play cards. She wishes
to dance with the girls. Shall we
allow it? We can trust her not to
dance when boys are even in the
room.
Does dancing with girls make it
easier not to dance with boys? If
girl becomes proficient in the vari-
Gus graceful dance steps, and finds
great enjoyment in dancino, with
other girls, are these facts going to
prove an additional safeguard to
her as she grows up into yourg
womanhood, and is urged to dance
with her boy and young men friends?
Or, when the invitations crowd in
upon her, If she quietly answers
that she does not know how to
dance, has never learned, is she at q
safer distance from the bOrSler-'ine?
There would seem to be but one
answer to these questions. The de-
cision to leave dancing entirely out
of life may seem very hard to girl.
She will be in very small minority,
fer the present. And danCirg with
other girls is harmless enough, in IL
self. But it certainly exposes her TO
a temptation from which she may
keep well away, if she viii. No ones
life is ever tho poorer for being un-
able to dance. What is lost in the
way of certain social opportunities
may be great deal more than made
up in other ways which are not only
far more important, but are more
enjoyable as well.
If this view be lovingly suggested
as the parents conviction and de-
sire, not as q command. children

VALUE OF COWPEAS.
Every Farmer Should Arrange to Plant
a Large crop.

Again we desire to remind the
farmers Of the Importance of plant
ing every available, cultivated acre
to cowpeas. They are valuable fol
the following reasons:
They are fairly good human food
They are one Of our most nutri
tious foods for stock.
The peas are alone worth from Sc
to $50 per acre.
Cowpea hay is easily worth s2(
per ton.
If left on the land and turned un-
der the vines are worth from S. tc
to SIS per acre as fertilizer.
The roots and stubble are worth
81 to 81 per acre as a fertilizer.
The vines, roots and stubbIe fur
nish humus vegetable matter) some
thing nearly all lands are deficient
in.
This humus helps to make the
land cultivate easily. 1t absorbs and
holds moisture that will aid a crop
to continue its growth during a
drought.
Humus furnishes the conditions
necessary for the existence of bene-
fetal bacteria.
The shade of pea vines in the for
nation Of valuable nitrates in the
soil is helpful.
Pea vine roots are good subsoilers.
They go to considerable depths,
opening up the earth so air and
water can make a deep soil.
Peas get some Of their nitrogen
(amonia) from the air, free of cost
to the farmer, so that very little nj
trogen is needed for their fertiliza-
ton except for poor soils.
Peas draw heavily upon the sup
plies of phosphoric acid and potash;
therefore these substances should be
supplied to them IN fertilizers.
Many pea crops fail for lack of phos-
pilates and potash.
Cowpeas fit in we'll in nearly all
systems of rotations Of crops. They
are well adapted to growing among
corn and after small grain harvested
in the spring.
Every farmer should arrange at
once to plant abundantly Of this i'm
portant crop. Plant some on poor
land for turning under; plant some
for hay; plant some for grazing by
horses, cows, hogs and other stock;
and by all means plant, fertilize and
cultivate a few acres for seed peas
so you will not have to buy at high
prices next season.
Nearly everything said above
about cowpeas is also true Of of soy
beans. The beans excel in being
little more valuable as stock food,
little better adapted to wet soils,
stand droughts some better and Us
ually make slightly larger yield as
grain and hay.

GGTeFnmGnI Count OF Sheep.

Government reports snow that
there are to-day more than 67,000,- :
600 sheep in the United States.
Some one has calculated that If this
number were placed in column,
two abreast they would circle the
globe, and still there would be few
left over. TO ascertain the cost Of
producing this vast amount of wool
and mutton, the government has
spent more than a year in investiga-
ton. Whenever the tariff occupies
il politics and Schedule K is talked
about, the question Of the cost Of
producing wool is ore of the chief
topics. SO many conflicting views
have been presented on this subject
that the government has employed
Prof. L. /. Shaw, a noted sheep eX-
pert. and corps Of assistants to in
vastjgate the conditions III the sheep
States and to submit a report. Pro-
fessor Shaw has been busy since a
year ago last October compiling sta
tistics as to the exact cost Of sheep
raising both in the East and the
West. Some idea Of the thorough
ness Of the work can be gathered
from the fact That in Helena, Mont,
Professor Shaw and his assistants
spent five weeks examining the books
OF fourteen large sheep ranches. -

HiNTS TO MOTHERS.
CLEANLINESS is Next to Goodness" in
Feeding Babies.

Your baby came from a world of
perfect cleanliness. He has been
used to perfectly pure and whole
some food. He has a perfect right
to expect it after his arrival in this
world. # the mother can furnish it
herself, the baby is fortunate, for
he viii thcn be served in the most
approved and sanitary way.
If. however. he must be "hottle
fed baby remember that his life
may depend upon absolute cleanli-
ness.
Use only the cleanest, purest and
freshest Of milk. See that is clean
and cool when you get it. Put it on
ice Immediately. During hot wealth
er ice is absolutely essential for the
Drcscrvation cf milk. A Alittle money
spent for ice may save a large doc
tors bill later. Never allow fly
around your baby, his food, or his
bottle.
As soon as the bottle of milk is
finished, wash it thoroughly with
cold water, using a bottle brush.
Then clean with hot water and borax
"a tablespoonful Of borax to pint
Of Water), and turn it upside down
in a clean, sunny place aWav from
flies.
Never let the baby nurse again
from the milk remaining in bottle
after he has finished it once. Stale
milk curds in the bottle will become
poisonous in a few hours, and may
contaminate fresh milk coming in
contact with them.
Always boil the bottle thoroughly
in water to which a little soda has
been added, before putting fresh
food into it. The easiest way is to
have as many bottles as the number
Of daily musings. so that all may be
ayer!llZea together.
The simpler the nipple the better.
Never use nipple to which long
tube is attached. It can not be kept
clean and VIII certainly cause bowel
trouble. As soon as the bottle is
finished, remove the nipple, turn it
inside out over the finger, and clean
with a brush, used only for this pur-
pose. After use, always boil the
brush. Keep the clean nipples in
covered glass filled with fresh borax
water. Always rinse the nipples, as
well as the bottles, in boiling water
before using again.
Do not put the nipple in your
mouth to determine the warmth of
the milk. Let q few drops fall from
the bottle on your wrist. If the
milk is not hot for your wrist, it is
too hot for the baby.
Always observe the utmost care
for cleanliness N all details. Be
cause other babies have survived
flies and filth is no reason that yours
will. Bear in mind that eternal
vigilance is the price Of cleanliness,
and baby's health is the reward for
both.
