such house Is very cheap, and 1t Is
within the means of any young man
who possesses ordinary health. II his
wife will help him little, there Is no
good reason why he should not have
1t paid for in few years time.
There is a great advantage in
living room like the ono provided in
this design because you can have op-
posite windows and ventilation from
both directions, besides an opportuni-
ty to get a bit of sunlight twice day.
1t requires sunlight to brighten up
home; and too many living rooms are
built in such way as to shut out the
direct rays OF the sun. This room is
large enough to be comfortable in win
ter, with good heating stove in the
far corner from the kitchen. You can
not very well have heating stove In
small room; it makes the air too
stuffy; but in a room as big as this
you can have circulation enough to
keep the atmosphere in good condi-
ton.
There is plenty of roof surface on
this little house to provide soft water,
which is another luxury enjoyed IN
small places that is unknown in the
city. good cstern with filter that
works right, is a great satisfaction.
OF course it is sometimes apt to be
neglected. and the water becomes
rank-smelling but this is no fault OF
the cistern; IT is the fault Of the man
who has 1t in charge. You cannot
neglect cistern and have nice water;
but you can have good, clean. soft
rain water with very little trouble If
you go about 1t right.
When I stay over night at farm
house and have rain water to wash In.
it reminds me of my boyhood days,
when we had things comfortable at
the old home. 1t was a great contrast
from the lime-laden solution that l am

When the man got we'll again and

Brascome, rather than offend the
grateful man by returning, put into

HAS BECOME MATTER OF JEST
Woman's Promise to "obey" Husband,
In Marriage Service, Perfunetery
and Without Meaning.

With the advent of the female suf.
frage movement (the teaching Of
which cult may, when tho movement
gets somewhat stronger. be introduced
into the common school system of the
country the word obey" in the ordi-
nary marriage service, already in dis
favor with the leaders of the move
ment, will be shaken out of tho prayer
book, to be heard no more ON sea or
shore. AS 1t is now tho scant recog
milton this word receives after the
wedding service is over is entirely per
functory. James Douglas in London
Opinion-in England the revolt against
the word obey has already reached for
midable proportions-says that the use
and abuse Of the word is continual and
unblushing perjury in the courts of
heaven-where marriages are made
To this he adds: And nobody worries
over 1t. 1t is taken for granted. Arch
deacons wink at it. bishops chuckle
over it, deans crack jokes over 1t.
And with good reason, for their own
wives break the vow of obedience as
gayly as tho wives Of laymen. Is there
one clergyman who will venture to
proclaim from the pulpit that his wife
invariably and Internationally obeys
him all the year round? We know
there is not. How. then, can the clergy
expect from laywomen what they dare
not expect from their own helpmeets?
AS rule, the wears wife is a mas
terful dame, and 1t is we'll known that
sufferance is badge of the cloth
Probably there are more henpecked
husbands in orders than out of them.
The traditional curate is a mild and
timid being, who is born to obey"

FAILURE IN RAISING CALVES
Many Dairymen Will Agree That Over.
feeding 10 Greatest Cause-Limt
to Its Digestion.

There are hundreds of dairymen
who will agree that one OF the great
causes of failure to raise calves prop.
erly is overfeeding. 1t Is difficult to
make great many people see this,
but it is true nevertheless.
A calf is not born into the world to
consume all the milk produced by a
COW as she is bred and fed in these
days. 1t is otherwise with ranch or
range cows, because they are very
poor mixers and the flow OF milk is
calf is being fed by her. Farmers
must remember that while great i'm
provements have been made in dairy
cows no appreciable additional ca
pacity has been built into the diges-
tive system of calf
To say that calf should have all
the milk produced by it's mother is
contrary to all reason and common
sense, especially in view of what has
been bred into the COW in the way OF
increased milk production. When it
comes to the matter of raising a calf
We must remember that its appetite
is gauged by the flow OF milk that
the COW would give in her natural
state, which in the case OF range
cow does not average over five or six
quarts per day.
In fact. the best authorities upon
the subject of calf raising recommend
that the calf should not have more
than four or five quarts per day, and
even upon that amount 1t should not
be allowed to have its fill at any one
time. A little at time but often is
calf-raising wisdom reduced to the
compass OF nutshell. Because a calf
is naturally greedy 1t does not follow
that Its greed should be catered to.

A Good Hay Pen.

they will refuse to eat it l give here
a good plan for making a hay pen into
which the hay may be thrown. says a
writer in the Farm and Home. Set
four posts into the ground, one at
each corner of parallelogram six
by eight feet. Nail strong 2x4's to
these posts every foot from the ground
to the height of three feet Leave q
space wide enough for stock to get
their heads through easily and nail
another 2x4, or attach strong barbed
wire in its place. This will keep the
stock from jumping into the pen. If
2x4 pieces cannot be obtained. strong
poles secured from the timber and
trimmed at ends so they can be nailed
may be used instead.

gloomily, as to Mr.. Morses future.
