He Had to Make Good

III Iuc J uHt w OIIIdI IIOIlC SOHipdH- ion a writer tells the following story:
 "The editor of a daily newspaper in a southern city fell in love with and became engaged to the society reporter They were about the same age-both fine, ambitious young people, very much in love and very eager to be married They were far away from their parents and there was no one to interpose any objection to an immediate marriage They had a brief honeymoon, and then came back-he to his desk and she to hers.
 Two or three years passed. His salary was increased to the amount which they had at first thought would be sufficient for their needs-but mean while their scale of living had risen. They did not want to drop back into cheaper apartments and less pleasant mode of life: so 1t was decided that she would continue at her desk for a while longer.
 "One night she found a gray hair in his head. The next night she came home and announced that she had re- signed her job.
 Resigned" he gasped. "Why, what are we going to do?'
 "Dear,' she answered. you are going to support us both. You're too good a man to be wasting your life in a job that doesn't pay you enough to support a family. Our lives are running away and we have never had a real home; be- fore we know it we will be old--with out friends. without children, without any of the things that make life worth living. My resignation doesn't take ef- feet for a month. Tomorrow you're going to get a months vacation and you're going to New York and find an other job.'
 nQn-nnW making $7500 a year in large advertis ing agency. He says frankly that if it had not been for the incentive which his wife gave him. for the actual neces- sity which she created by resigning her position, he might have gone on into old age in a job much below his possibilities"

MOST POPULAR BREED
Size Is Quality That Recon-
J mends the Light Brahma.
Has No Superior Where Large and
Slow Maturing Fowls Are De-
sred-Bsrred Where Egg Pro-
duction Is Chief Item.

(By PROF II L. KEMPSTER, Missouri
College of Agriculture.)
The Light Brahma is the Oldest ana
perhaps the best-known ana most pop
ular of the feather-legged chickens.
Size is the quality that recommends
the Light Brahma. Where large ana
slowly maturing fowls are desired, the
Light Brahma has no superior, but tn,
slowness of maturity is very objection
able in the pullets, which, together
with the fact that they are not very
heavy layers when matured, practi
cally bars this breed where egg pro.
duction is the chief item.
There is no other breed of fowls that
has the stately appearance possessed
by the Brahma. These fowls are close
feathered like the Langshans, but are
larger and not so long-legged. They
are not as heavily feathered as the
Cochins. They are very graceful il
appearance and carry themselves ina
stately manner. The back on boil
male and female is very long anC
broad. There should be a slight rise
of the back with broad sweep at tn,
base of the tail. The birds should b,
erect and well placed on their legs
Abundant toe feathers is also a very
desirable feature.
Taking the American Standard Of
Perfection as a guide, the following
are the special qualifications and dis
qualifications of the Light Brahmi
fowls, when being judged according
to the Standard of Perfection.
Special qualifications are: Cock
over three pounds, cockerels over TIVE
and half pounds, hens and pullet
over two pounds less than STANDARD
weight. Vulture hooks also disqualify

DA.!IlNN0!ES

To produce good milk, cows must be
comfortable.
Calf raising is an important part of
the dairymans business.
Cleanliness and carefulness are the
keystone in successful dairying.
The dairy barn should be roomy,
clean, dry, light and well ventilated.
While feed is an important factor
in successful dairying it is not the only
thing.
Cannot expect calves to be better
than their sire-that is why we need
the best.
Always handle cows carefully. The
COW will more than repay any kindness
shown her.
After the calf is six weeks old there
is little danger of it getting indiges-
ton or scours.
1t may save time to drive the cows
to the barn at a trot, but it is a poor
and ill-timed economy.
Keeping the calves separate also
prevents the calves from sucking each
other, a disagreeable habit.
Keep the calves separate for the
first two months so that if anything
goes wrong with them it will be imme
diately detected.

sees, what every wise man sees, that
the paramount duty before every patri-

of Wlson--to put out Of office the man
