THE WAY OUR MOTHERS USED
TO DO.

AT a "mother's $ meeting" sew
~ eral women talked long and
learned about the proper train
ing of children. One woman never
had any children of her own, nor
had she ever raised any. Yet she
had a perfect system, and was full
of advice. Another maiden lady,
school teacher, also told just how it
should be done. In the discussion
gentle little woman on a back
seat ventured to make a suggestion
which was not according to the
rule:
What, may I ask, do you know
about the science of children" "
asked the president.
every little" was the humble
answer. 81 have only raised six of
my own, but cannot give you any
rules for doing it."
The best cook in town was a
woman of 60 who in her inconven.
lent kitchen turned out the most
wonderful cake and dougbnuts and
pies. The young woman from the
domestic economy class took pencil
and paper and went to get the
recipe.
"Now,, Aunt Mary, tell me just
how you make those doughnuts and
/ will write it down"
"Well," said Aunt Mary, "I
take handful of flour, a pinch Of
salt, a lump of butter and as much
milk and sugar as think l need
and just make them.
You see mother and Aunt Mary
could not tell others how to raise
great, healthy boys and girls, or how
to make doughnuts and pies by rule.
They put their personality into their
work, and that gave them almost a
patent. If the average man could
have his future wife trained by one
Of these natural housekeepers, or a
college of domestic economy, which
would he chooses

with the surety that more will be
employed when the pear crop be-
gins to come in.
Already $4,000 worth of goods
have been canned and stored, and
several representatives of large
wholesale houses are bargaining for
the entire output of the plant for

During the strawberry season, 40
barrels of strawberries were put up
by the cold process, being placed in
barrels with layers of sugar and
berries. These were shipped direct
to Chicago to be used for fruit
flavoring.
Even the stems from the cherries
are saved and sold for y cents

also be sold.

Is IT A QUESTION OF MONEY?

4 operative laundry could be
T is often suggested that CO.
started at the local creamery or
cheese factory.
The dirty clothes are to be
brought to the laundry, washed and
ironed and sent back. Steam from
the creamery boiler could be used
for the laundry.
This is a good thing in theory,
but it is seldom seen in practice.
In hunting for the reason, we are
told seven times out Of 10 that the
men folks say there would be no
money in it.
The milk carried to the creamery
gives a profit of money. The
laundry would not mean an income
but more or less expense.
If the women continue to do the
washing this expense will be saved!
Now then, we would like to have
the women's side Of it. Is that
argument strong enough in your
neighborhood to settle it?

SHE DIDN'T KNOW HEB OWN
DAD.

FHERE is good story Of help
full man who wrote an article
telling how he helped his wife
in the kitchen.
He kept the wood box filled,
brought in coal, churned and helped
at the washing, and did a dozen
other things to help his wife. This
man told the story, and it was
printed in a farm paper without
his name.
His daughter read it and thought
it a very fine statement of what a
man ought to do.
She took pains to give this opin-
ion to a young man who was begin
ming to call quite frequently.
Then this girl learned that father
was the man described in the arti-
Gle.
That seemed to take the romance
out of it, for it did not seem so re-
markable that plain and patient
father should be glorified for doing
the things which seemed so natural
for him to dol
Nobody looks upon father as
much of a hero.
When he is good natured and will
ing to help in the house he rarely
gets full credit for it.

COOPERATIVE LAUNDRY
SUGGESTED.

Henry of Wisconsin offered a
check for $500 to the manager
Of the first cooperative laundry in

1t may be run alone or in connec-
ton with cooperative creamery.
1t will have to be generally patron
lied by farmers, and the prize will
not become available until the plant

DY pollenizing the Oregon wild
- blackberry with the Cuthbert
raspberry, Father Schooner,
parish priest of Brooks, Or, and
famous as a breeder of roses, has
produced an entirely new variety of
berry, which he tentatively has
named the "Willamettc," in honor
of the valley in which it was ere
ated.
In pollenizing the blackberry
with the raspberry, Father Schooner
reversed the process that produced
the loganberry.
The new berry is dark red, in
form like a raspberry, but three or
four times as large as the largest
raspberry.
The fruit is said to be firm and
of most delicious, distinctive fla

sourness Of the loganberry, nor of
the heavy sweetness of the rasp-
berry. Nor does it resemble the
taste of its wild mother. 1t is neith-
er tart nor sugary, and cannot be de-
scribed. 1t must be tasted.
We will watch Father Schooner 3

striking assertion that the American

how to live.

vainer ambition" said Professor Beid-
Ter to a reporter, than that of the
American boy to become a millionaire.
What percentage of our boys do be-
come millionaires? 1t would take a
good many decimals to work that out,
believe me!
The boy who sets his heart on a
million fares like the washerwoman
who set her heart on a cross-eyed
aeronaut.

aeronaut last week." said friend.

In 1911. 30 we were on the watch for
IT. The station collection contains
examples Of this brood collected in
Branford In 1894. BY Dr.. w. G. Stur-
gis. then botanist Of this station. But
In 1894 no attempt was made to OBJ
tain records or to study the distrtbu-
ton Of the insect in the state. In
1908, Brood XII. was expected, and
though we made many observations
and inquiries, we did not obtain a
single record.
Consequently, 1911 seemed to afford
an excellent opportunity to collect
data. and In addition to the observa.
tons made by the office force, much
information was gathered from other
sources.
Though the puIae come out Of the
ground and crawl upon the trunks,
branches and foliage OF trees and
shrubs. and the adults emerge, leav-
ing the old shells hanging there,
they produce no appreciable injury to
the trees except the splintering of

FARMv|LLE AFFAIRS
Events of Importance Happened
and Were Duly Noted.
BY DONALD ALLEN.

There was more excitement in the
sleepy old village of Farmville than
had been known for 20 years before,
Event had followed event until Dea-
con Chambers had stood on the post
office steps and wiped the sweat from
his brow and said:
by heck, II this thing keeps up we
shall have railroad and dry goods
drummer In here before we diet"
The events were Of Importance
enough to be recorded In chronological
order:
First, the widow Bevins sued Elder
Jarvis for breach-of-promise and was
given a verdict of one hundred dollars.
That was ten dollars year for the
ten years he had been counting her.
Secondly, close on the heels of the
widows suit had come q gale of wind
that had twisted the spire of the Bap-
list church until II resembled gigan-
tic corkscrew. Some of the congrega-
ton were In favor OF O new spire at
once, and others argued that time
should be given Providence to twist At
back at its own expense.
In the third place. Aunt Hannah
Doty, who laid claim to being a sew
enth daughter of seventh daughter.
predicted that the judgment day was
only thirty days of. No one put en-
tire faith In her prediction. but Bible
man had come along and sold Is Of
the good books in one day, and each
book was conspicuously displayed on
the parlor center table.
Fourthly, Mr.. Gerald Walters. q
young man, had come down from the
city for the fall shooting. and was
stopping at the tavern. There was
nothing but few stray chipmunks to
shoot, but Mr.. Walters wasn't making
any fuss about 1t. He was the first
fall shooter that had ever appeared
IN the village.
Filthy, Mr.. Walters hadn't been
shooting at chipmunks but four days
when Miss Kitty Dorland came down
from the city to stay With her grand
parents for few days. There was
