in the past, with the one aim OF max
ing him happy. What would happen
if he were to bring home wife? The
elderly sisters, who have reigned in
the home so long, and with such de-
votion, would feel that it was home no
longer for them. These frail, devoted
sisters would be thrown on the world
homeless, penniless, heart-broken, to
live, or die, facing the cold world.
The conjuring up of such a picture
is quite enough to make such a man
forswear marriage as long as his gis-
ters are spared to Kim to care for and
protect. Everything is done for his
happiness and comfort and by them.
Els lifelong determination not to dis
rupt his home and theirs is ample
proof of his acknowledgment OF his in
debtedness to them and his gratitude.
The woman who sets her cap for this
type of man, nine times out OF ten
meets with defeat. He may admire her,
wish with a half sigh that he had just
such a woman for his wife, but it ends
there. There's no use wasting time
in foolish speculation; he wouldn't dis
rupt his home, turn OFT his loving Sis
ters, to gain the best woman In the
world for wife.

GOOD DOGS SPREAD
SEVERAL DISEASES
ToWser Has Been Guilty of Car
rying Germs of Rabies, Hyda-
It'd, FavuS and RingWorm.


That coed friend of the farmer, the
dog, will have to be looked after more
carefully, il he is not to do as much
harm as good on the farm. According
to a bulletin issued by the United
States department of agriculture, Tow
ser has been found to be carrier OF
such diseases as rabies, hydatid, ring
worm, favus,. double-bored tapeworm,
round worm, and tongue worm. All
of these are diseases which affiict hui
man beings. Occasionally, also, the
dog carries fieas and ticks, which in
turn transmit bubonic plague and the
deadly spotted fever.
In these days of the foot-and-mouth
disease, too, farmers should see to it
that their dogs do not bring home the
fatal germs, or, If they have the dis
ease on their own farms, they should
take pains to prevent their dogs from
CARRYING it to their neighbors' farms.

Hunting by AeropIane.

The hunting spirit has not been slow
to take it's cue from the successful use
of the aeroplane in war. If the scout
can make his way unchecked above the
lines of the enemy and search them
out as he will; if he can drop bombs
or shoot with definite effect on the
enemy below, then surely the hunter,
being able to fly low with no risk to
himself, could follow his game from
the air and get it at will.
This has been done with success.
The Literary Digest tells of hunting
COYOTES over the western plains by
aircraft, quoting from Flying the de-
tails of how it is done. The animals
are taken unawares. On the air side,
the only side from which they have
never had reason to expect attack,
their instinct has left them unguarded.
This will be remedied in time, but
what good will it do them? The aero
plane can fly faster than the animal
can run. 1t probably will be adapted
to the hunting of many forms of big
game the world over, giving the hunter
the advantage of a protection from the
recoil of such animals as tigers, lions
and elephants which he never could
have before.

EDUCATE OR TRAIN
HORSE WHEN YOUNG
Under Average Farm Conditions
Draft Colts Are Not Handled
Until Ready to Work.

Horses should be educated or
trained, and never broken, according
to DR.. C. w. McCampbell, assistant
professor of animal husbandry at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
When one breaks a horse he breaks
its spirit and the animal responds
wholly through fear.
The education of the colt should be-
gin when it is but a few days old. Inc
first step should be to teach it to De
led. This will not take long, and 1t is
a. lesson that the animal will never
forget. Under average farm condi-
tions draft colts are not handled until
they are ready to work, and in this
case ell they know is to respond to the
halter
"In educating the colt" says Doc
tor Campbell, lone should work
around it patiently until he has gained
its confidence and then get it used to
the harness one piece at time. 1t
should then be driven by the use OF

INDIVIDUALITY OF
AVERAGE DAIRY cow
Always Best to Give the Milk
Producer the Kind of Feeds
She Likes and ThriveS On.

The scientist cannot figure to q
nicely just what is the feed or COM
bination of feeds that is going to do
a certain cow the most good. If given
free choice of feeds she might shock
the balanced ration enthusiast by VIC
lating some of the rules of standard
izing. She may turn up her nose at
gluten feed, or even alfalfa. or some
thing else that most cows eat readily.
This is individuality that Is often
spoken of.
Cows do best on feeds they like.
They eat more of them, and it Is the
excess of feed above body maintenance
that goes into milk production.
Watch your cows. If one refuses
musty hay you would better favor her
with something better if she is good
mixer.

HEART NO LONGER SINGS.

What is the gold all men desire,
When only power it brings,
When high resolves no more inspire,
When the heart no longer sings,
When hope is f1tful fire,
And life's harp has lost its strings!
Youth-time is laughter-time, enjoy
ment- time, bodybuilding time, the time
when the hearts song is gay as the
lark's and life's cares have not crossed
the horizon Of the present. Pleasure
and happiness are the birthright OF
the young. There should be music in
their sunny days and floating through
their dreams at night 1t does not take
much to make them enjoy themselves,
merry companions, little kindness
and love shown them, gratifying few
simple wishes, and they are as happy
as the day is long. Duties may weigh
heavily on their young shoulders, but
they do not worry over them-care Is
swept aside by the anticipation OF
some coming joy.
It is when the candle of hope has
burned to the socket and died out that
the human heart begins to langu1sh
and life's song dies away on the lips
in a sob. This should not be. No mat
ter how bitter life is and how dark the
clouds, the sunshine is struggling to
pierce it's way through them and rad1-
ate the heart with it's brightness.
An angry thought, brooding over
wrongs, real or fancied, is just so
much poison dashed upon the poor,
helpless, suffering heart which is pow
erless to protect itself against the one
being on earth whose duty it is to
guard from injury. If brooding did
any good, one could be pardoned for
indulging in it, but it does not; on
the contrary, it is throwing the door
of the heart wide open, inviting an ac-
knowledged enemy to enter, making
havoc with the worn, tired, faithful
organ which is denied the little COM
fort it's faithfulness earns.
The woman whose heart no longer
sings loses her buoyancy and beauty
speedily. Her eyes catch the spirit
of discomfort and lose their brightness,
and the lips their smile. All coquetry
dies out of her nature, and when this
happens her sweetest, most womanly
attraction vanishes with it. All with
whom the sad woman comes in contact
may respect, nay, pity her, but ninety
nine persons out of hundred will flee
In another direction if they see her
approaching.
The world has need of a woman's
laughter and mirth. No one wants
to condole with her constantly over
her woes. Her tribulations are Of i'm
portance to herself only. Who wants
to be burdened with the recital of
them? Who cares? No one.
Brooding women should make it the
determination of their lives to turn
over a new leaf. If they would win
friendship, popularity, even love, they
must teach the heart a new song and
see that it sings it? The bright,
blithesome woman who is a veritable
ray of sunshine is always sought after,
appreciated and courted. She never
fails to win her way to ones heart
and touch affections golden chord. No
matter what reason a woman has for
grief, do not let the world suspect it.
That will not amend matters. AS
sumo cheerfulness though you have
it not. When the heart no longer
sings, love refuses to nestle there.

If HE HAS sPINsTER SISTERS.

Love and time with reverence use,
Treat them like a parting friend,
Nor the golden gifts refuse
Which in youth sincere they send;
For each year their price is more,
And they less simple than before.
There are bachelors who acknowl-
edge secretly to themselves that they
might be tempted into matrimony If
they come across the right woman.
These are the men who board at ho-
tells, are not society beaux, and do not

their hearts now and then of enjoying
home comforts, of listening to wife's
voice and the prattle of babies per-
haps.
Such a man can be cajoled away

that she is his true heart-mate, be he

(By c. v. SINGLETON, Idaho Expert
ment Station)
1t is very important that/the ewes
of the flock be put in proper condition
before lambing time, as otherwise the
farmer or breeder can expect only a
small percentage of lambs. There are
two conditions that may result in the
raising of a small percentage of lambs.
First, many people have the impress
sion that the ewes can be kept
throughout the year on coarse rough
feeds with no grain except perhaps a
small amount after lambing. The re-
suit is that the ewes being thin at
lambing time produce weak lambs and
do not produce enough milk to keep
the lamb alive for the first few days.
The second condition, in which the
ewes are too fat, is far less common,
but does occur. If the ewes have had
the run of good pasture during the
summer they may be in very high con-
dition in early winter. Then, if rather
heavy grain feeding is started early
the ewes may become too fat for best
results. In any flock of great size
there is always much individual varia-
ton in the tendency of the ewes to
put on fat. For this reason it is often
advisable to divide the flock, putting
the fatter ewes together and feeding
them rather light until near lanbing
time. The ewes, thin in condition,
should be fed enough to bring them to
good breeding condition before lamb
ing.
If the ewes are in good breeding
condition in the fall and good quail
ity of roughage is fed, no grain need

PARASITE is CAUSE
OF NANCE In HOGS
Imbeds Self in Region of Hair
Enthusiastically Transmitted
to Other Animals.

(By H. S. EAKINS, Colorado Agricultur-
al College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
We hear much about mango in
horses and cattle, and scab in sheep,
but mango in hogs is not at all I'M
common. The parasite that causes
mango in hogs is microscopic in size
and looks something like an oat grain.
1t imbeds in the region of the hair
follicles, especially around the snout,
eyes and forelegs, causing the forma-
ton of small pustules. The skin be-
comes thickened and rough. Where
a hog is much affected the carcass
should be condemned for food.
This kind of mango is readily trans
mitted to other hogs and treatment
is difficult. Since there are some
who believe hog cholera may be trans
mitted by these and other external
parasites, such as lice, it is well to
keep a lookout for hog mango.

PROSPERITY IN
| WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products of the farm, the orchard and
the centres of industry. No country
wrote brighter page of history in
agricultural and industrial develop
ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly
billion bushels Of grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average s24
and will not exceed $S5 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the En-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave OF alb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
tor in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag-
risukural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916, and it is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
a certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
in every Province Of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting of
Canada's crops as being of the first
Importance is perhaps the best evil
dence that conscription or any in
crease of taxes which would reduce
the agricultural activity Of Canada
will never be considered by the author"
tiles.
Owing to the number who have en-
listed for overseas service it has been
found necessary to secure farm labor
in the United States. 1t is hoped that
fifty thousand can be secured.-Adver-

erage young man this year. He is
glad enough to hold on to his position
and to do double the amount of work.
1t is the young man who is Obliged
to take several days off who is not
looking at the prospect with any great
amount of exuberance. Heretofore he
has hied himself to the mountains
or seashore; not only for the change
of recreation it afforded, but that's
where all the pretty girls went and he
could be sure of enjoying himself to
the top of his bent, swimming, stroll
ing, sailing, moonlight dances on piaz-
"a and lawn, straw rides and barn
dances.
He came back to his work with a
new zest, even though he had not met
the girl of his dreams. He told him
self he would have better luck next
time. Most young men look upon
staying at home philosophically;
whether they live in city or town they
find so many ways to pass the time
that their vacation days are over all
too SOON The girl who has expected
to meet him in some fashionable place
is disappointed. The maiden who al
most cried her eyes out because her
folks hadn't money enough to send her
away realizes that it was certainly
providential.
Had she gone she would have missed
the best days of her life with Jack.
He had called every evening and taken
her somewhere, to church. camp meet
ing, out for stroll, to the ice cream
parlor and last, but by no means least,
to the out-of-door movies. Her father
allows her to have company at home
because her summer outing hasn't cost
him anything. The cheap little white
null dress which she believed would
have made her quite laughingstock
at any resort, looked charming in the
eyes of the unsophisticated young man
who couldn't have told to save his life
whether she had on satin or a calico
frock
OF course it wouldn't do for all
maidens to get the stay-at-home bee
in their bonnet or the big hotels would
have to close their doors. But it's a
mighty satisfactory state of affairs
for those who couldn't go off on a
summers vacation.
There will be more marriages this
summer between couples who have
known each other all their lives than
ever before. Young men will find that
they don't have to go off to meet
pretty girls. There are quite as many
just as fair and sweet in their own
home town. They don't have to go to
the trouble of being made acquainted
with her family, and do lot of ex-
paining about their own lives. Ere
the summer is over the young man will
say he had no idea that Susie was half
so sweet! When one young man sur
renders to Cupid, most of his friends
will usually follow his example.

be given until about three or four
weeks before the beginning of the
lambing season. The grain then given
should consist of feeds that favor a
good milk flow as oats or bran. A mix
ture of the two should prove very sat
isfactory Up to the time of Landing
only about one-half to three-quarters
of pound per day need be fed.
After the Landing period, the
amount should be increased somewhat.
The proper amount to feed then would
depend on the size of the ewes, the
percentage of lambs and other factors.
The question of roughage for ewes
is very important one. Alfalfa and
clover hay are almost essential if the
very best results are to be obtained.
Very coarse, fibrous hays, especially
timothy, have been shown to be very
Objectionable as a roughage for preg-
nant ewes. Some form of succulent
feed as roots or corn silage can be
used to very great advantage if the
cost is not prohibitive.
The feeding should not be the only
consideration in the management Of
the flock, but the questions OF shelter
and exercise are equally important.
Close housing not only is not essen
tial, but should be guarded against,
and instead more open house or
shed should be provided. Warmth of
the house is not an important con-
sideration, for, if kept dry, the sleeps
fleece will serve to keep the body
warm. Care should be taken that the
sheep do not have to stand around in
damp, muddy places.

across the back of the head just above
the nape of the neck. Three short
curls are pinned in below the coil.
An arrangement of the hair in a
short French twist at the back sur

return of the psyche knot. The front
hair is loosely waved and parted at
the middle in a very shallow part.
This is a graceful style and becoming,
which is more than can be said of

fures. Even to youthful faces they
are somewhat trying and they lend
nothing of softness to older ones.
