Love is very much like a beautiful
gown-a delight when new; thing to
worry over when it's newness has worn
off and it grows shabby; when the
parting with it is not far off.
Some men are very enthusiastic
over new love affair. But quite as
soon as the girls charm has lost its
flavor of newness they begin to grow
restless, make excuses about taking
her out, and gradually cease to think
or care what her opinion it regarding
such lack of interest.
Women are the first to realize when
they are losing their hold on mans
heart. But they continue to cling to
him, in the mad hope that they can re-
kindle the dying flame in his heart.
Wise is the woman who knows that
when mans interest has wandered
away she cannot whistle it back. His
love has taken fight.
It is quite useless to pursue a lost
heart. A man soon knows if his steps
are being lodged. If he meets a sweet
heart of whom he has grown a-weary,
no matter where he turns to elude her,
she only arouses a spirit of antagon-
ism within him instead of revival of
one-time love. If man is anxious to
seq or call on girl, be will walk over
red-hot plowshares or wade through
sleet or ice to clasp her hands or en-
JOY her society. If he has lost interest
in her, though he feels in duty bound
to call, from the moment he enters her
presence his brain is busily inventing
some excuse to get away as soon as
possible.

BREEDING OF YOUNG
STOCK IS HARMFUL
Practice, If Carried on for Sue
cessive Generations, Is Sure
to Result Fatally.
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)


II there is any one thing more than
another that will cause the flock on a
farm to run out" it is the practice Of
breeding from immature stock.
| am aware that the temptation is
strong to allow big, strong eve lamb
TO become a mother at one year old
and doubtless many are so bred that
DO attain their normal strength and
development in time, but this practice,
If carried on for successive genera
tionS, is sure to result fatally.
The great feature that helps to sell
a lamb is its quality of flesh spiced.
as it were, by a generous supply of
baby fat. The offspring OF a eve
lamb, poorly nourished as it must nee
essarily be, has not the same rich,
Juicy meat that is found in the lamb
from the big, strong, well-developed,
nourished eve. Such lamb cannot
bring over one-half or two-thirds what
another lamb from a good mother will
sell for.
The profit from such lamb is more

fulness of the ewes.
An animal comes into the world
with q series of fixed characteristics,
and its size is one of them. The exact
size depends upon the matured size
Of each and every ancestor.
The massive Shire is the product of
the rich pastures and heavy nutritious
feeds of England. The little Shetland,
Of the cold and barren slopes of the
north.
They have the same common an
cestry, yet by an abundance of feed
the medium sized aboriginal horse is
supplanted by the magnificent stall
lion.
BY scarcity of feed we have the
little midget of Shetland. Genera
tons of breeding have fixed these
characteristics, yet it is possible under
system of scanty feed continued for
endless generations to reduce the size
of the Shire. Certainly it is possible
by heavy feeding for centuries to
cause the midget Shetlands to become
considerably greater in size.
One generation will work no ap-
preciable change, but it is the eternal,
everlasting sticking to the same sys-
tenn that brings about the results.
So with the breeding of the eve
lambs, one generation may do little.
The eve may take little longer to
mature but her size will be only lit
tie less! There is the rub
A small, stunted, scaraway flock,
old even at birth, discouraged with
the conditions. disguised with life and
with only one redeeming character
istic. They breed young, often and
politically.
But to what end? The farmer does
not want them. The butcher discrim-
mates against them and they are a
drug on the market.
Truly pitiable spectacle, yet one
that is sure to follow if the practice of
early breeding is followed to it's ulti-
mate result.
Contrast this flock with that of the
careful thinking man whose animals
are allowed to mature before being
bred There we fad a flock of big,
strong, happy ewes, mothers of lambs
that are regular butter balls at birth
and whose great abundance and
beautiful condition are alike a delight
to the heart Of the owner and a bless
ing to his purse.

To Clean Milk Utensils.

On dairy farms where many milk
utensils are in use, the dishwasher
will find that they may be cleaned
easily by first securing each dish with
ashes. Rubbing over them once In
this way is sufficient; then rinse twice.
They should be washed in cold or pref
erably tepid water, to keep them
sweet and clean. The treatment will
prevent rust spots from forming and
keep the utensils bright without injur'
ing the tin.-Mother's Magazine.

If A MAN PITlES A GIRL.

Do right, tho pain and anguish be thy
lot,
Thy heart will cheer thee when the pains
forgot.
Do wrong for pleasures sale-then count
thy gains,
The pleasure soon departs, the sin req
mains.
While girls are young and the world
is before them, their expectations high,
and the future rosy, what pity it is
that they cannot have their innocent
little fling. A girl may have good
home, the best of parents, good
clothes, and an easy time of it. Yet,
if she is refused girl companions and
the opportunity of bringing them to
her home, she is not happy.
There are other homes where a girl
grows into young womanhood, ac-
corded the friendship of one chum, but
young men are barred. have heard
mothers say: II know what is best for
my daughter l will not allow her to
have young man callers. She shall not
have beau until she is twenty-five
l was that age when / first met her
father. Those who wait the longest
seem to do the best"
Such mothers should remember that
their days and their daughters days
are different. In her time twenty-five
years was considered the correct age
for girls to wed. Now the girl Of TWEEN
ty believes she is old enough to step
to the altar.
1t is neither wise, nor best ofttimes.
to accept the first young man who
comes along as sutton. She should
be brought into contact with many in
order to know the kind of man who
appeals to her, and with whom she
would be happy.
If man believes in making care
ful selection, why should not girl
have the same privilege?
This she cannot do unless she is per-
mitted to go out in company and to
allow young men to call upon her at
her home. Not to have their visits is
a handicap to her. If youth should
have the temerity to make call and

he is apt to be very romantic and con.

cast-iron prejudices. If, perchance, he
encounters her outside of her home,
on the spur of the moment, he asks
the girl to marry him and let him
protect her ever after Bewildered,
and without taking time to consider,
the girl consents.
The upshot is they both return home
for parental blessing. These marriages
without courtship's try-out may turn
out happily, and again they may not.

Honey Always Priced.

Dry or granulated sugar is of very
recent origin. Honey antedated all
dry forms of sugar and was for
many centuries the only sweet in
common use. The Greeks loved it
and the Romans fought for it. The
Egyptians cultivated it, and in far off
Persia honey was the preferred sweet
Before man became civilized enough
to use honey he doubtless satisfied his
hunger for Iweets by eating fruits
and vegetables containing natural
sugar.

WRIST, BUT WILL RECOVER

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 1S.-Miss
Emma Burgemeistkr, a trained nurse,
at whose home otto Koehler, million
aire president Of the San Antonio
Brewing association, was shot and in
stantly killed last night and who is
under arrest here in connection with
the shooting, today was believed to
be in no danger from the wound in
her wrist, which she is said to have
inflicted after the death Of Koehler.
She is said to have made statement
that the shooting Of Koehler was to
protect herself and Emma Dashiel,
another trained nurse who resided
with her.
The shooting occurred in the apart
ment maintained by Miss Burgemeist-
er at 5S2 HunstoCk avenue. Neigh
bors found Mr.. Koehler dead on the

Miss Burgemeister who is a petite
blonde with pleasing features, is not
more than s5 years old and is declar-
ed to have come to San Antonio from
Germany, her native land, four years
ago in company with Mr. and Mrs.
Koehler, during one Of their periodi-
cal visits to Europe. Miss Burge-
meister, it was claimed, was trained
nurse and had been retained as the
constant companion of Mrs. Koehler,
who has been in i'll health. However,
members of the family emphatically
denied Miss Burgemeister had ever
served in this capacity and insisted
she was unknown at the Koehler
home.
Otto Koehler was SO years old and
was recognized as one OF the rechest
men in the southwest. Besides his
presidency Of the San Antonio Brew
ing association he was heavily inter-
es1ed in bank stock, real estate and
mines, his holdings in Mexico being
