CHOSE LESSER OF TWO EVILS
Theatrical Manager, cornered, Yield

Distressing Addiction.

A poet with a precious scrap-book
of his own writings under his arm
wandered by a theater, when suddenly
the idea struck him that he would
like to see a play that night, so enter
ing the place he asked for the press
agent. That gentleman was out, but
the manager was in. He was ushered
in, and the deus ex machina inquired
his business. Il would like two seats
for tonight" faltered the man of verse.
"An' who might you be?" asked the
manager. The poet mentioned his
name. "Um, yes" smiled the other,
i've heard of you, but why should |
give you seats?" The bard murmured
something about courtesy to the press.
and added that probably identified
ton might be necessary, so, as he had
a scrap-book of his published poems,
he would be glad if But the mana
ger cut him short, and calling out to
his secretary to make out couple of
passes for that night, said; my dear
sir, I'd rather give you the whole

FARM WoNAN's PREROaATWE
Wife and Mother Literally Forced to
Meet New Problems In All Forms
Of Modern Farming.
(By Z. M. BENNINGTON

Woman has demonstrated her abil.
ity to manage a modern farm and she
will rise to her opportunity of manag.
ing a modern farm home.
The farm woman's duties, RESPONSE.
bilities and pleasures are broadening.
Whether It be in the developing Of
the home life or in helping along the
modern view Of intensive and diYersi-
fed farming, the wife and mother is
literally forced to meet new problems.
Her Environments are improving.
Farmers, as a rule, no longer suffer
isolation, They have better means Of
travel and communication than for
merly.
Most OF them have the advantage
of daily mail service. Many have
telephones and automobiles. Under
these conditions, coupled with ordi.
nary prosperity, the social life Of rural
America is improving, and manifestly
the woman and her family are imme-
date gamers.
This gain is not merely one Of ma
terial comfort, but better social life
is secured when the pail Of isolation
and drudgery is removed The bright
ening of the social life is the one
thing needed to keep the young peo-
pie in the country
The requirement Of those facilities
for travel and communication which
pertain to our advancing civilization
must naturally be followed by better
school and more general culture.
Who can deny for an instant that
this is the road to greater happiness
and contentment in the country?
In the assured development Of this
new scheme Of rural life the farm
woman plays part Of ever-increasing
importance. II is her mission to
make the farm home attractive, and
her influence must be positive in Sc
curing better schools and in elevating
the standard Of living.

American business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough.
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing a large quantity of electrical ma
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received sheaf Of letters
Of invitation from manufacturers and
of offers of hospitality. AS a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer. If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country lie has to dig it out for
himself, for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows Of it.

Nothing counts for so much in pro-
ducing good dairy products as clean
liness. Ali the dirt in milk cannot be
strained out and even IL It could be
some of the organisms that cause bad
havors and souring would remain to
start trouble, says the Farmers Mail
and Breeze Keeping the dirt out is
better than straining it out.
Clean TANKS and udders and the
use Of hooded pals go long way
toward having the milk clean to begin
with. The type Of milk pail favored
by the government dairymen is shown
. In the drawing. The inner surface
of the pail should be smooth and free
from seams or crevices which might
accumulate dirt They should be
heavily timed to prevent rusting.
The sooner fresh milk is cooled the
better. The cooling merely retards
the growth and spread Of bacteria
which cause milk to spoil. A tank
for cooling milk and cream recon-
mended by dairy department officials
is shown in the illustration. The wa
ter from the well enters small COM
partment at one end. This compart.
ment has an opening at the bottom,

been built in the sleeps wool and
which contained two other fledglings

TURN LAMBS IN CORN FIELD
Well to Watch Larger Animals to Pre-
vent Them Nibbling Grain on
Low-Hanglng Ears.
fBx NJ. coYERDELL.l

While both the older sheep and the
lambs may be turned into the corn
field after the corn reaches a stage
at which the lower blades begin to
wither, it is well to keep a close
watch Of the larger animals to see
that they do not get to nibbling the
grain from the low-hanging ears,
This is not apt to occur until all
the lower blades of the corn have been
eaten off and in that case the lambs
may be allowed to run in the field
till they are sold or brought in for
winter shelter.
Where one has lambs to turn into
the corn field they will not only make
use of the blades Of corn which are
usually wasted, but they win keep
down the weeds that are invariably
springing up after corn blowing is
over, thus seeding the field to the
pest for the following season.
The manure dropped by the lambs
will also be scattered around over the
fields, thereby fertilizing the land
without the usual time and labor ex-
pended in hauling and spreading the
manure.
Another advantage in pasturing the
corn field after cultivation is ended is
that it win be much easier to get
through the corn at gathering time
and the ears viii be the more exposed
to view.

USEFULNESS OF THE LARKs
Birds Aid Farmer Greatly In the Con
sumption Of Insects and Their
Larvae, Worms, Etc.

Larks are small, ground-keeping
birds of the family Alaudidae, charac-
terized by small owl-like beaks, long
shanks, and the fact that the claw of
the hind toe is usually greatly length
ened; the wings are usually short, as
also is the tail. The normal coloration
is light brown, with darker longitude
nal streaks, the under parts being
whitish, and the breast frequently spot
ted There is frequently a crest, or
decided blackish marks, about, the
head
Larks dwell in open grassy places,
making their nests on the ground or
among rocks, sometimes deliberately,
and laying spotted eggs. They ere
sociable, but hardly gregarious. Some
frequently perch on trees, and most of
them soar while singing, as is well
known of the skylark; and the song
of many resembles that of this re-
nowned musician. The food consists
of insects and their larvae, worms,
small seeds, buds, berries, etc. The
flesh of all is considered dainty, and
great numbers are caught annually on
both sides of the Mediterranean to be
sold in the market. The family in
cludes about 100 species, divided
among about dozen genera, of which
only one, Otocorys, with probably but

caponlzIno Fowls.

The large breeds are best for capon-
izing. A few months old capon is no
better than cockerel. A capon will
more readily put on fat and get large
and prime after maturity. The object
in caponizing is to secure quality and
size, but quality is the most important.
Age does not impair capon as it does
cockerel, provided the bird is not
kept longer than a year and a half.
Capons will have to mature before
they can get much finish, and for that
reason they cannot be sold while
young. No poultry meat excels, if any
equals, half grown guinea, split down
the back, broiled and buttered. 1t is
meaty, tender and OF splendid flavor.

Eliminating Mr.. and Mrs.

A correspondent of the London
Daily Citizen suggests that the un-
necessary and unpleasing prefix MIR. !"
should be eliminated from the super
scription of letters. The deprivation
of this prefix was one of the penalties
enforced in our American colonies
during the seventeenth century. The
records of Massachusetts, show that
in 1880 JOsias Plaistowe was con-
demned "for stealing four baskets of
corn from the Indians, to return them
eight baskets again, to be fined e5,
and hereafter to be called Josias, not
Mr., as he used to be-" The Massa-
chusetts penal code also provided for
docking women of the prefix Of Mrs,
but there is no record Of this clause
having been enforced.
