TIMID WIDOWERS.

Man is supreme lord and master
or his own ruin and disaster;
Controls his fate, but nothing less
In ordering his own happiness.
Fol all his care and providence
Is far too feeble a defence
To render 1t secure and certain
Against the injuries Of fortune,
And oft, in spite of all his wit,
Is lost with one unlucky hit,
And ruined with a circumstance
And mere punctilio Of chance.
One can be led into the belief that
there may be timid bachelors, even
against ones better judgment, but the
imagination has to be stretched to it's
utmost limit to give the widower the
benefit of a doubt as to his being
timid or bashful in the presence Of
women.
The "resourcefulness and push" Of
comely widows is Il ~time-honored wit
ticism which is never allowed to grow
stale because of constantly occurring
examples of her prowess in ensnaring
male hearts. Therefore, one naturally
expects a widower should be quite as
proficient in the delicate art of at
tracing hearts.
There never was a greater error.
The previous married life Of the man
and the woman has everything to do
with establishing confidence in them
selves or routing 1t utterly. The hus-
band who loves fondly, imbues his
wife with the belief that she Is the
most charming, the most fascinating
Of women. He Is never weary of
thanking her most humbly for giving
herself to such a plain, u%nattractive
man as himself. Hearing this con.
stantly, she believes it and fancies she
could have won any man for whom she
might have set her cap. Once q
widow, she is plumed with the assur-
ance that no mar will be able to with
stand her Establishments. And It usu-
ally happens las q person thinketh, SO
Is he"
But let 1t be understood that tho
same sauce of appreciation has not
been fed to the husband. He Is given
to understand In a tacit way that he is
sadly lacking in all the attributes that
women admire in men. He is led to
believe that he Is awkward Of man
ner; that his conversation is uninter-
esting to the opposite sex; that she is
the only woman in the world who
could or would have loved him. She
gives him to understand his popularity
is entirely due to her and her social
activities; that he would be nothing
without her, absolutely nothing.
Despite the loneliness of his heart
and home, not n widower out of a
hundred would enter the ranks of mat
r1mony again did he not meet with the
one woman who was able to topple
over his frmly-grounded ideas and
aus him to realize that he still! had
attractions and still had the power to
awaken affection In another heart
that would accord him his full need
OF appreciation and love.

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING
Soil Is Generally in Better Condition
Than in Spring-Weeds and
Insects Destroyed.

uy J. l.. HERS, Louisiana Experiment
Station)
The soil is generally in better condi-
ton in the fall for blowing than in
the spring, Fall blowing gives Il bet
ter texture to the soil and causes n
greater liberation Of plant food due
to the action of the weather. BY turn
ing the organic or vegetable matter
under earlier it has, of course. more
time to rot and to become thorough
ly Incorporated with the soil.
Fall blowing causes many of the
weed seeds to terminate, thereby de-
creasing this pest the following spring.
Many insects are turned to the surface
and killed by the frosts.
The time for fall blowing should be
largely Il matter Of convenience. The
heavier soils can be safely plowcd
first. Land with a great deal of vege-
table matter to be turned under should
be ploWcd early in order to give this
matter more time to rot. In the spring
there is not always time for the prop
err preparation of the soil, especially
where the crops are to be planted
early, so it is good farm management
to do Il part q. this preparation in the
fall.
II isn't always the best plan to pillow
sandy lands in thp fall unless they are
also seeded to Il cover crop, otherwise
there is apt to be much loss from
teaching and erosion. 1t is much more
important to put a cover crop on sandy
soils than on heavy soils, especially
if the lnnd Is not entirely level.

or more days. depending upon the
cleanliness of milking and handling,
because the temperature is low enough
to prevent rapid growth of Tactic bac-
terra.
This temperature, however, il more
favorable for the digesting class of
bacteria, which imparts an old, stale
odor to the milk, and renders the milk
partly unfit for use. If milk is kept
on ice almost from the time of milk
ing, there will be but very little devel-
opment of either class of bacteria, and
the milk will be in prime condition
after several days.
For the most rapid cooling of milk,
the following points should be OBJ
served:
l. That cold air is better than no
attempt at cooling.
:. That cold wnter is more rapid
than cold air.
8. That an occasional stirring hast
ems the cooling process.
4. That ice water is much more
rapid than air Of the same tempera-
ture.
.. That a mixture of ice water and
salt is the most efficient cooling agent.
To insure pure milk, free from i'm
purities, the utmost care must be taken
in every part of the dairy from the
barnyard and stables to the bOttling
Of the milk. Absolute cleanliness is
essential. Iron milking stools are
recommended and they should be kept
scrupulously clean.
No. ! is a good type of sanitary
stool made of metal. The ends of the
pipes used for the legs are filled with
lead, and there are no corners to col
lect dirt.
Nos. = and 4 are similar to No. l,
except that caps are screwed on the
ends Of the legs, making them slight
ly more difficult to keep clean.
No. 3 serves for both pail and milk
stool. The cover, hoops, bail, etc.
make it more difficult to keep clean
than the simpler styles.
No. 5 is devised so that one end
serves as a receptacle to hold the pail
while the mixer sits on the other end.
AS in the case Of No. 3, this STYLE is
more difficult to keep in a sanitary
condition than the simpler forms.
No. 6 is constructed entirely Of iron.

SoX CHANCES DO NOT IMPROVE
RED SoX STILL WINNING
BY Mark Shields

and have climbed into second place
over the unfortunate Tigers, but af-
fairs are not frightened to any ex-
tent by the results Of yesterdays two
most important pastimes.
Boston seems to have the class of
a pennant winner, while Tigers and
local Sox are unable to stand the
pace at moments of stress. CARR
gan came here and won two out of
three when every play had a bearing
on the pennant. He has taken two
straight from the Tigers and is in
fair way to sweep the series. If he
does, western contenders can pre-
pare for next season, for there will
be nothing doing for them this fall.
After today the schedule will be in
favor of the Red Sox, if any one can
claim the edge. They have four
games with the Indians, and FohI's
club is not a formidable. organization.
Detroit gets Washington for four
games and should take three. We
draw the Yanks and are sure of a
battle each afternoon.
Though only a game and a half
from the top, but few, of the Sox
players appear to realize they have
a possible chance for the pennant
and the resultant coin of the worlds
series. A few members of the cast
are playing Up-and-dOing baseball,
but others seem to be thinking of the
fine hunting to be enjoyed this fall.
Eddie Collins drew rods of praise
yesterday, but he is entitled to more
today. He soaked four important
hits in as many times up, tricked the.
Macks out of a possible run on one
occasion and was in the thick of
things throughout. Eddie hasn't
given up hope. His batting average
