Land Of Wheel barrows.

The wheelbarrow is the most com.
mon medium OF transportation in
Shantung, China. The load is bal
anced about the wheel. so that the
workman does not have to carry por.
ton Of the load, as is the case with
the American wheelbarrow.s Some
wheelbarrows have bat one push man;
some having pulling man as well;
some have one. two or three donkeys
to aid in the pulling, and some are
equipped with sail to obtain the
help Of favorable winds. The equip
ment depends on the load carried, the
maximum load being about a ton.
Transportation by wheelbarrow Is
from five to eight times as expensive
as transportation by rail in this prov.
ince. Thus, the native methods of
land transportation, even with labor
receiving wage less than ten certs
gold a day, are costly, disproportion.
ately 80 as compared with the prices
Of other commodities. Yet Shantung
has tens Of thousands of wheelbarrows
engaged in traffic. 1t Ia easy to an.
3reciate what railroads will mean to
the development of this densely pop.
ulated province.

TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT 1T
If Customer Was in Luck in Getting
Hat to Fit Him, How About the
Shop Keeper?

After playing a matinee perform
ance recently in Omaha, relates a
popular actor, l discovered my hat
was missing from my dressing room.
This was really a serious loss. for,
being possessed OF an exceptionally
large head, it is unusually necessary
for me to visit every hat shop in the
town before l can find hat to fit.
Finally, after a lot of effort and deter
mination, l found hat shop where
they had just one hat that would fit
me, inquired the price of it, and the
shop keeper answered with an EN-
couraging smile that it was five dol
lars. 1t struck me that the hat wasn't
worth that, being somewhat out of
date, offered him two and a half.
1.-TWO and a half" he exclaimed,
struggling his shoulders. why, you
ought to be mighty glad to get that
even for five dollars. Where will you
be able to find hat large enough to
fit your head?"
THAT may be true" ] answered,
but where will you be able to find a
head large enough to fit your hat?'
got the hat for two and half.

The winter arrangement of feeding
sheds and yards is of the most i'm
portance of any phase of business.
If possible, they should be fed inside
of the sheds at all times.
Feeding racks may be placed SO that
they will form partitions for the va
rious enclosures, thus doing away with
timber used for the purpose.
A good practical feeding rack may
be made by splitting one long pole
or using two smaller ones, and through
these should be bored holes about four
inches apart and one inch in diameter.
The rounds, which should be made
about three to three and one-half feet
in length, may be made either from
sawed lumber or round stuff.
The horizontal poles should be
placed on stakes about one foot from
the ground and form a rack about two
feet or three feet in width.
A similar rack, although presenting
but one side, may be constructed along
the sides of the shed.
When constructed on the side it
will not need to be more than one-half
as wide, as only one-half as many

SINS BEYOND ALL PARDON
CoWarcice and Treason Never Con-
doned by Women-Feelinq That
Is Deeply Rooted.

Woman will forgive almost anything
in man except cowardice or treason.
There she draws the line. Not only
is the feeling instructive, but It comes
to her through long years Of human
evolution. In the earliest ages her
faith, as we'll as her safety, was in
the man who stood face to face with
the enemy and fought for her. 1t is
not difference in heroism that makes
men soldiers. Nature has arranged
that very nicely and women know and
understand. They know, too, that the
same nature imposes upon them perils
and burdens that exceed those of the
battlefield, and good men understand
that the best they can show in per-
sonal courage and fortitude is only a
poor second to the fearlessness of
wOmanhoOd.
Thus patriotism blossoms and
blooms in woman's soul as naturally
as the old-fashioned rose grows in
the old family garden. It's roots are
down deep; it's vitality is ever equal
and its fragrance is the sweetest thing
in life. With full hearts but tranquil
souls women can send forth their
sons, their husbands, their sweet
hearts, their protectors to danger or
to death-to anything save hating or
dishonor. A great American admiral
put it neatly when he said victory was
won by the woman behind the man
behind the gun.-EditOrial in Woman's
World

Looking at it in this way pain is

sheep can feed from it at the same
time.
Although we may vary the forms OF
the feed racks to meet the condi-
tons of the buildings, yet one point
should be kept in mind and that is TO
build them so that the side the sheep
feed from shall be uniformly perpen-
dicular, in order to prevent the dirt
from falling on the lambs and becom-
ing mixed with their wool
The rounds should be placed suffi-
GENTLY close to each other to prevent
the introduction of the lambs heads
into the rack.
If permitted to do this, they will
only select the choicest portions of
the fodder and waste the residue and
then there is some danger of them
getting hung or injured.
Troughs for feeding grain and roots
may be conveniently made by mailing
together two narrow boards and plac-
ing them in an opening sawed in the
shape of V in thick board.
This makes convenient and por-
table trough, sufficient for every prac-
ticable purpose.

FEED MILL ON FARM
IS "A HANDY THING
Grinder Is One of Best Economic
erS Farmer Can Own for
Preparing Grain Feed.

On any farm where there is stock
to feed, whether COWS, sheep, hogs or
poultry, the feed mill or grinder is
one of the best economizers of food
one can have. These mills are made
in various sizes and suited to the
large or the small farm. With such
a mill one is in position to give va
riety in form Of feeding that is inn
possible unless one is prepared to buy
various kinds of ground food.
Where corn constitutes, the main
food, as is the case on most farms, it
is plain to see that it is not advis-
able to feed it in the same form all
the time. With the feed grinder it
is possible to mix the several ground
grains in small quantities which one
would hardly buy. Where poultry
keeping is part of the farm indus
try there will be found abundant use
for the feed grinder and it will pay a
good profit on the investment.
