The theme in Bondwomen is whether
husband ought. to assume a major
portion of the domestic responsibilities
so far as they extend to the family
purse strings. Should he insist on
scanning bills for groceries, meats,
clothing, etc, or ought he delegate that
entirely to his wife, trusting in her
ability to properly manage these affairs
All this is brought out in a forcible
manner in Bondwomen.

those caused by disease, by providing
proper shelter for the SOW at narrowing
time. In the South this shelter can be
constructed very cheaply. and even in
the North 1t can be provided IN most
eases at q moderate cost. The farmer
should always be present at narrowing
time, but should not interfere with the
COW unless necessity calls for his as
sistance. The raiser should always
cultivate the confidence CT his animals
by quiet and humane handling; this
care and attention in times Of neces-
sity will pay big returns. The pigs
upon arrival should be rubbed dry
with gunny sack and quietly removed
to a place of safety. For this purpose
It is well to provide a covered basket
or hamper containing gunny sacks In
cold, damp weather it may be well to
warm brick, wrap it in gunry sack,
and place 1t in the basket to warm up
the new arrivals. If the SOW is very
long in narrowing, it may be well after
two or three hours to place the little

NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.

Temperance work today is very
practical as compared with the senti-
mental exhortations of yesterday"
pertinently remarks an exchange. "In
these days. when efficiency is so gen.
eral watchword in the world of bust
ness and labor, we are finding not so
directly that a man is a knave who
drinks to excess. or even as all, as that
he is fool. A runner who ties a
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts a dram OF liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1t is
capable Of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker of even an
occasional glass Of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work of both his
hands and his mind. while the habit
ual drinker sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
is the gospel OF the now temperance
movement"

perhaps he will come in the next
night and buy a sack Of flour, taking

will go to bed and get good nights
sleep and the next day he will be
able to earn enough more funds to
