longed-for joy can never be real

a home is considered sacred priv
ilege and duty. The remorse the
young wife suffers is beyond COM
pare when she discovers that the
irregular life of the husband has
taken away from her the power to
bring healthy lives into being.
Many homes are childless from
choice, but the highest medical
authorities in the United States
estimate that fully 80 per cent of
the homes that are childless not
from choice are in this condition
because the would-be mother has
had her hopes blighted by one Of
the social diseases contracted in
nearly every instance from the
would-be father who at some time
before or after marriage had for
gotten his code of manly conduct
and had taken the step that brought
sorrow into his home. The dis
sease that causes this trouble can
be cured. But after il is seemingly
cured the effects of il often remain
long in the system and it may mani
fest itself again and again in var

mental source of human life and
human happiness. The same high
medical authority | have Just
quoted estimates that from 20 to
10 per cent OF all women whose
homes can never be frightened by
children suffer this misfortune be-
cause either they or their husbands
have at some time been infected
with this disease that blights when
ever it touches the human body.
You are also aware of the fact that
many women must go to the oper-
ating table for reasons more or less
serious. Now you must not suspect
that there has been some irregulari-
ty in all their lives or in the lives
of their husbands. Sometimes it is
cancer-very frequently it is that,
and sometimes il for other reasons
over which the patient had no con-
troll whatever. But a high medical
authority tells me that something
like 80 per cent or more Of the op-
erations for serious troubles among
women are due to these diseases
that are most frequently contracted
in unholy alliances or in unhealthy
welded love. Professor Irving
Fisher, whom | have already quot
ed. estimates that 80 per cent of
deaths due to inflammatory diseases
peculiar to women" are caused by
the same disease that is responsible
for 10000 cases of total and incur
able blindness in the United States
today.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING

The Town Board held its regular
monthly meeting Tuesday night at
the Municipal Building. All mem
bers were present.
Many details regarding streets,
sidewalks, and city accounts were
carefully gone over.
President Frost was present part
of the time and, in response TO the
general desire for a water supply
and fire protection for the school
building to be erected this summer,
proposed that the college should ex-
tend 6-inch main to the vicinity
OF school building and install four
hydrants. The trustees of the col
lege will probably do this, if il is
agreeable to the town, in place of
deciding to the town the triangle
near the watering trough which the
college had expected TO give.

1t is veil known that for heavy egg
production or for the growth Of
chicks there must be a considerable
proportion of protein in the foods;
that is, the ordinary grain foods,
such as wheat and corn, do not con-
tain enough of the protein elements.
It is also known that meat foods,
such az commercial beef scrap, cut
bones or any kind of meat food with
a large proportion Of the lean meat,
are very rich in protein. Commercial
beef scrap contains about 90 per
cent. protein; that is, about half the
weight Of the beef scrap is protein,
while wheat and corn contain some
10 to 70 per cent. protein.
1t was first a question whether a
sufficient amount of protein in the
ration, irrespective of its source, was
not all that was necessary or
whether such food as beans, peas,
linseed meal. gluten meal or cotton
seed meal, that are rich in protein,
would not give as good results as the
protein found in the meat foods.
Many TO this day claim that this is
all that Is necessary in face Of the
fact that it has been thoroughly
demonstrated by experiment that
animal foods must be fed TO poultry
in order to get good results, whether
in egg yield or meat production. A
number of experiment stations dur
ing the last ten OF twelve years have
conducted careful experiments on
this point. and the results have in
variably shown that vegetable pro-

VEGETABLES CAN BE GROWN
nv POTS AND WINDOW BOXES

Many vegetables will grow in pots
and porch window boxes just as we'll
as they will grow anywhere. 1t is
very easy to grow them; many of the
plants are as decorative as flowers,
and the product will be much nicer
and very much less expensive than
store vegetables.
The location of the vegetable boxes
is important They should be placed
where the sun will strike them nearly
all day. Windows, porches and roofs
can be used to advantage, under
proper conditions.
IT is usually better to use boxes or
traps instead of flower pots, as the
former Will hold more plants to a
given area. dry out less quickly and
are less liable to get broken.
Any dirt-tight box, eight or more
inches deep, will make a good vege-
table box. These boxes have to be
deeper than hotbed trays because the
vegetables are to mature in them.
Bore some half-inch holes in the bot
tom of the box to provide drainage;
put in two inches of cinders, gravel
or other coarse material. Cover this
with from four to six inches of fine
rich earth, prepared greenhouse earth
If possible II should be thoroughly
enriched with fine, well rotted
manure, and some wood ashes will
help also. Coal ashes possess no
available plant food.
Fasten your boxes firmly in place
and plant your vegetable seeds or
plants as you would a regular garden.
If possible these boxes should be

Feeding the Farm Horse

The feed for the farm horse should
be of as good quality as that given
to the higher-priced animals used
in the cities or on the race tracks.
The question of the mode of feeding
is an important factor in keeping the
farm horse healthy. Most of the hay
should be fed at night when the horse
has plenty of time to eat. The hay
should be of good quality All musty
or moldy hay should be rejected as
unfit for feed. BY selecting only good
hay the danger of heaves is avoided.
The most natural grain for. the horse
Is oats. The oats should be. well ma
tured and not moldy. Bran has very
little nourishment in it, but it serves
as bowel regulator. If a quart OF
bran, is fed each animal with the
oats the danger Of collie is lessened.
Whenever possible one should make it
a practise to feed the farm horse aft
Ell IL has had thirty minutes or an
hour to rest before trying to digest
It's concentrated food In other words,
let the farm horse eat a little hay
while warm. and after It has entirely
dried off, water and grain During
a rest period feed more bran and less
oats. a well regulated barn of mod
ern type is equipped with a watering
trough in the barn. IF possible, all
the horses should have an opportu-
nifty OF drinking pure water at any
time While in the barn, IL not toe

HENS MUST HAVE MEAT FOOD
SAY ". ]. STATION EXPERTS

teins will not take che place of ami
NAL proteins. The latest experiment
on this point was made at the New
Jersey station at New Brunswick,
the results of which have been pub
lished. In this experiment It was
found that animal food was neces-
sary not only for the growing chick
and for the sbroiler, but for the lay
ing fowl.
A poultry food which has been ex-
tensively. advertised during the last
few years as a complete ration for
fowls, but which contains no animal
food, was made the subject of "a
comparison in New Jersey stations
experiments, with a result wholly
unfavorable to the claims made for
this food. Not only was it claimed
for this food that no animal food was
required and that it contained
enough protein from other sources.
which was all that was required, but
the claim was also made that the
PHOSPHORUS or bonemaSing material
was efficient when obtained from in
organic or mineral sources, such as
phosphate rock. as the same con-
stituents obtained from animal
sources, such as ground bone The
experiments showed very clearly that
pnOSpnOTlc ACld from an organic
source (animal bone) is much more
efficient than phosphoric acid from
an inorganic source"
AS to why the animal food or the
mineral material from animal sources
are more valuable in poultry feeding
than the same constituents obtained
from other sources is not known, but
the fact has been sufficiently dem
onstrated by practical experiment.
Theoretical assumptions will not take
the place of actual demonstrations.

FARM FACTS

Keep up a succession by repeated
sowings of kale and spinach These
late sowings of kale and spinach will
need some protection during the win
ter, and nothing answers better than
coarse and strawy manure from the
horse stables. This may be applied
with a manure spreader or by hand,
by the use of fork, directly from the
wagon. BE careful that the applica-
ton is not too heavy, so heavy that
the plants will be snothered out.
DO not forget ito sow a piece of
rye and hairy vetch. This is a fine
combination for a winter and spring
pasture for a few cows and the sows
with pigs. 1t is also a fine crop to
be turned under for green manure.
This is the month to plant out a few
trees and vines. We should plant a
few trees and vines every fall Then
the supply OF fruits will not run low
But where we neglect to plant a
few every fall the older ones will

to do this by hand with some of the
vegetables mentioned. Take a camePs

from one plant to another. This in
sures fruit and is quite important.
Vegetables grown in window boxes
usually do much better than the Same
plants grown in a garden. for the
simple reason that they get a great
deal more care because there are 50
few of them to care for.
The big secret of success with win
dow boxes is to have the soil rich
and to keep it we'll watered at all
times. Remember that a garden soil
draws water from the soil under it as
from the surface watering, but If you
