ONE CONVENIENCE
FOR FARM HOUSE
Soft Water Adds More Comfort
to Home Than Almost Any
Other Thing.
INV MISS ]. L. sHEPPERD)

Few other home conveniences Will
save SO much labor and add so much
comfort as soft water, hot and cold
right at hand. The carrying and lift
ing of water, and the emptying OF
tubs are things that are extremely tax
ing and that could be readily accom-
plished by mechanical means TO
open a faucet and lift a plug is all
that should be necessary for ming
and emptying tubs and washing ma
chine. Water is needed, not only III
the laundry but all over the house.
the laundry being mentioned espe-
cially because wash day is the hard
est day in the week, requiring the
greatest amount of heavy lifting
which is hard on the back. Wash day
also entails much danger of sickness
because of necessary exposure when
water must be carried in and out in
cold weather.
The entire family should be inter
ested in this needed improvement be-
cause it would confer personal ben
eft on each one.
Soft water is better than hard for
all kinds of cleaning washing dishes,
woodwork, floors, and also for bodily
additions. Who enjoys the harsh,
sticky feeling of hands washed in
hard water. to say nothing of chap

acteristic, consuming time and re-
curing extra labor in securing when
simple washing alone would be neces-
sary if soft water had been used. Cis-
tern water is not best for the pur-
noses of drinking and in preparing
and cooking, and it is not the inten-
ton of this article to recommend IT.,
but simply to insist that in case but
one can be had in the house, let that

Old pie shons Disappearing.

with the decline Of the la mode
beef shop in London one notes also
the Disappearance of most of the old
fashioned pie shops, such as the ia
nous eelpie shop in Fleet street that
the youthful fancy of the writer al
ways associated with the story of
Sweeney Todd, the demon barber"
The itinerant vender of sleeps trot-
ters has also almost disappeared, as
well as the seller of sandwiches at the
doors of theaters. while the peripatetic
pie has quite vanished from the
streets. In their place we have the
all-conquering but malodorous fried
fish shop. which has multiplied four
fold during the last twenty years.

With a catch of $4,000 seals, the
steamer Stephano is the first of the

Sagona $4,000. the Eagle $4,000, the
Ballaventure 10000, the Bonaventure

Nearly all Of US who live on farms
from 40 to 800 acres in size raise
one or more colts every year About
half the time these colts are medi-
OGRE animals, neither draft, road,
pillow, nor general purpose animals,
says a Nebraska writer in the Farm
Progress. Most of us have come to
the conclusion that the big horse is by
far the best animal to have on the
farm, and yet we pay but little atten-
ton to growing the work horse of
that ytpe.
Power blowing is many a long year
away from the little farm. And there
Is a constant tendency to break up
the big half-farm, half-ranch of the
middle west into small allotments.
The point | want to make is that
there is going to be an indefinite de-
Eland for heavy animals-horses that
are big enough to pull a mower, a
binder, a heavy pillow and other ma
chinery without being exhausted at
the end OF days work.
A big mare or two and stable
big-boned stallion will make 1t easy
for the farmer of 1913 to have a big
draft team or two on his place by
1916. The stallion owners will get
the stations into the country if there
is enough of a demand for them. l

Dairy Cow Is Necessity.

Making the farm yield more with
out increase in acreage can be done
by using alfalfa and silage. These
two agencies will do more to increase
the capacity of the land than any,

the alfalfa and silage.

.ELEvENS PAY COST
BY NOT FOLLOWING
COACHES TEACHING
Failure to Take Advantage
of Cardinal Points Re-
suits in Disaster.

With the football season well ad-
vanced and only the harder and more
important struggles to be played, there
are a number of cardinal points which
have not been taken advantage of by
the big western elevens. In several
instances the failure to execute some
of these fundamentals has resulted dis
astrously for those teams whose play
ers faile dto carry out the teachings of
their coaches.
A striking example Of this kind hap
pened in the Purdue Wisconsin game
last Saturday. The Badgers had the
game won Z to 0 until the last period
when Oliphant broke loose for long
run which tied, the score. In making
this dash the Boilermaker ran through
practically the entire Wisconsin team
and had little difficulty in evading
Bellows. the defensive full back.
1t is a cardinal point of football to
force a runner toward the side lines
in order that the defending team either
may force him out of bounds or corner
him in such a way that there is little
chance of his escape. When Oliphant
broke loose this was not done. The
| Wisconsin players did not make efforts
| to force Oliphant toward the side lines
and Bellows did not trap the Boiler
maker in such a way that he could
make sure, hard tackle.
