MELISSA RECOGNIZES iNsUPERA.
BILE BARRIER.

Mrs. Merriwids maternal maiden
Aunt Jane wore her real rose coral
necklace, a pink waist and mystic
rious smile. the latter adornment be-
ing assumed when Mrs. Merriwid ex-
pressed her admiration OF the general
effect.
THE rate at which you're improv-
Ing makes my head SWIM" declared
Mrs. Merriwld. You'll be tottering
around in a hobble the next thing
know"
Il don't think that you need feel any
anxiety on that score. my dear" said
Aunt Jane. Il have always been
brought up to consider the petticoat
an indispensable adjunct OF feminine
attire. and boomers as an infringe
ment on that appertaining to the 9TH
err sex"
Dear mel" remarked Mrs. Merri-
wild.
Mr.. Chubb will be here this after
noon. Melissa" observed Aunt Jane
In casual manner. as she shifted her
embroidery hoops.
Mrs. Merriwid opened her eyes wide
and became alarmingly rigid. Here
-this-afternoon," she exclaimed.
Why, told him distinctly that was
going to the matinee. told you that

dearie. Surely you remember. When
did he tell you he was coming?"

about 1t so | said you would be very
glad to see him. l thought you liked
him, Melissa"
I'm crazy about him." said Mrs.
Merriwid, dryly. 81 think he's the
sweetest thing that ever brushed
three strands OF hair across a bald
spot; still. I'm afraid he'll be disap-
pointed IL he expects to see me this
afternoon. Me for the impenetrable
recesses of the tangled woods. I'll
let you console him for my absence,
dearie, and you can blame yourself"
Aunt James eyes lost their usually
mild expression and she jabbed her
needle into her work with come
viciousness. Thank you, my DEAR"
she said. AT the same time / don't
regard the society OF a well-informed
and gentlemanly man as an infictlon.
however you may feel about It, and I
may add. my love, that 1t seems to me
unladylike to make personal remarks.
Even II Mr. Chubb were bald-which
ne Is not-it would be no reflection
on him."
Il didn't say It was shiny enough to
reflect" said Mrs. Merriwid.
And intellectual men nearly always
have tendency to badness" pursued
Aunt Jane. There was julius Caesar.

They're generally smooth people

you talk nonsense" snapped Aunt
Jane. IF being bald is a crime it's
strange that they have to keep bar
bers In prisons to cut the convicts'
hair. You ought to get a Skye terrier
II you're so fond OF things that look
like door-mats. I suppose that's what
you find so attractive in Mr.. Victor"
II wonder II that is It." said Mr.,
Merriwid, dreamily, cor whether It's
because Mr.. Victor hasn't dImpled
knees? Honest, Auntie, dear. don't
you think dimpled knees on a male
person over seven have a tendency 70
destroy the spirit Of romance?"
Melissa" said Aunt Jane with
spirit. 'if you talk like that I shall
leave the room"
Please excuse me, dearie." begged
Mrs '"-~'-'id. Il wouldn't sav anv.

No horse is well broken until he has
no fear whatever OF the automobile.
Try to turn your horses back to
the wind and blanket him when tying
him up. as the wind blowing against
his breast is apt TO lay the foundation
OF rheumatism. stiffness and similar
ailments.
II the brood mares are not worked
regularly. see that they get out in
the open air and sunlight and move
around
Often we do not appreciate the vir-
tues OF the modest. unassuming mule.
He costs no more than horse colt to
foal and raise and is less trouble and
expense to put in the harness. He is
not as susceptible to disease as the
horse. and he is not so easily made
stif OF lame. He requires less feed
than horse OF the same size, yet will
do as much or more work with less
fatigue. He will do you 20 years
faithful service.
See that the animals are comfort
able and that they have at all times
plenty OF water.
This may be the threshold OF the
horseless age. but just try to buy a
pair OF good horses and you will find
out that the horse is still in good de-
mand.
The best sale you can possibly make
OF your farm crops is to sell them to
your stock In the way OF food. And
then. too. the fertility OF the soil is
kept where 1t will bring the biggest
returns.
With the increased prices OF horses.
more attention Is being paid to the
care OF the feet.
Most OF the trouble with horses
feet is caused by improper shoelng.
Breaking a horse" is a harsh ex-
preston. Nowadays the farmer gen
ties" the colt without running its dis
position.

The very high price OF both hay and
grain is forcing farmers TO sell all sur.
plus stock. Some prices can be picked
up by farmers who are supplied with
feed
Some buyers want the advice of a
veterinary before they purchase. II
so. then by all means pick your man.
When horse or mule has done his
steady work in city for 20 years. is
sour stiff and generally incapacitated.
he is a poor investment for anyone
most certainly the farmer who is look
ing for bargain.
Some men wash their teams all over
each evening when work is done, dur
ing the summer season., a good plan
as 1t removes sweat most effectually.
Cribbing is bad habit at the best,
the only way TO stop IL is TO use tight
strap around the cribber's neck. The
writer has cured several OF these un-
satisfactory animals.
Interfering behind is bad habit In
a horse, as a remedy use only one or
two nails on inside OF shoe and curve
shoe properly inside.
A balky horse had best be gotten
rid OF as balky horse. Let the other
fellow cure him.
Shying can sometimes be cured by
letting the horse pass slowly by the
terrifying object. Severe punishment
rarely makes a cure.
Musty hay carries many ills.
Keep a good-sized lump OF rock salt
in each horse trough.
Save money by having the old
horses teeth flattened so they can
grind their feed
Water for the horses should be fresh
from the pump during the winter
months-no ice water.
Work or exercise the stallion daily,
and your next seasons colt crop will
be much more satisfactory.

Handy Way to Save Seed Ears

The amount of freezing seed corn will
stand depends entirely upon it's dry
ness II thoroughly dry and sur
rounded b. dry atmosphere it will
stand very cold weather.
Ii you have ever found yourself
compelled to plant corn that was not
at for seed, do not be caught that way
again 1t is too discouraging to begin
the season with poor prospects of a
good crop. Get your seed at ripening
time when the best quality is most
plentiful. Get an abundance, enough
for planting again what the high
water may destroy and a supply
for some farmer who may move
into your community or for a neighbor
who could not select his seed corn at
the proper time. Save seed only from
she most profitable individuals with
the same care you use IL propagating
your animals.

they are buy them. but there is a de-
cided prejudice against duck eggs in
the general market.
The Indian Runner is almsst as
large as the Pekin at ten weeks. al.
though the latter is more heavily
feathered and this gives it a larger
appearance.
Runner ducks do not need water to
swim in, but should always be pro.
vided with clean water for drinking
and If this can be running water, SO
much the better.

WORK IN The POULTRY YARD
Growing Cockerels Should Be Spa
rated From Pullets-Whitewas-i
and Have Cleaning Up.
CBy L. NJ. BENNINGTON)

Each duck house should have a
double run so that while the one is
occupied. the other can be sown TO
rye. This will not only give the ducks
plenty OF green food, but this grow
ing of crop will disinfect the soil
The growing cockerels should be
separated from the pullets. and the
former given a greater allowance OF
food. as they will need it more than
pullets.
Whitewash the interior of the
house, and have a general cleaning up.
Examine the roofs and the walls of
the buildings so that they will be in
good condition when winter sets in.
