coURTINe YOUR DAUGHTER.

Love! What a volume in word. an
ocean in a tear.
A seventh heaven in a glance, a whirl-
wind in sigh,
The lightning in a touch-a millennium

What concentrated JOY or woe, in blest

The happiest time in the lives of
parents seems to be when their chill
dren are young enough to chase but
terflies, play marbles, roll hoops or
fondle dolls. Their trials commence
when daughter grows tall enough to
lengthen her dresses to her shoetops
and begins to attract the attention of
boys.
With the first call of young man,
the parents face the situation that
their child will follow the fate of all
womankind-fal in love, be wooed and
marry. When young man falls into
the habit of calling regularly, they
realize that. is forerunner of an
avowal of love and being asked for
daughters hand, the youth having al
ready pre-empted her heart.
1t is but natural that they should
experience anxiety. The happiness
| of their darling's future, as well as
their own peace of mind. Is at stake.
All men during the courtship period
put their best foot forward. If they
have any bad habits, do they make
frank nvowal concerning them? Not a
bit of it. On the contrary, nine men
| out of ten hide them so carefully and
so deeply that they are seldom un-
earthed.
In small towns and villages, fathers
have the advantage. They have seen
the sutton who comes accounting grow
from boy to man. They know his rep
utation, good, fair or bad. and can
make a pretty good guess as to what
his future will be. They know whether
he is sober and Industrious, keeps
good hours and whether his associates
| of both sexes are a credit or a disgrace
| to him.
The father of the city girl has many
more difficulties to face. A young
man has so many paths spread out be-

far he travels on the one or the other.
The girl and her parents are almost
entirely at his mercy regarding his
character. He may have friendships
that no one save himself will ever
know about He may live one kind
of life in one part of the town and
quite another in the other end of the
city.
1t is no wonder the fathers Of daugh-
tiers insist upon wintering and sum
mering even the best of young men
ere agreeing to betrothal. They
know that a good son-in-law is the
greatest blessing family can gather
unto itself; that rascal is the worst
calamity it could be forced to en-,

ROAD MAKING is IMPORTANT
Work Should Be Done In Late Spring
or Summer to Get Well Settled
Before Cold Weather.

Road making is a matter of a lot
of Importance to the city man and the
farmer alike. Many thousands OF
dollars are expended annually in this
work. Far too great per cent OF
the work is done in the fall. sometimes
running clear into the winter, for the
good of the road and for the judicious
expenditure of the money.
The road that is made in the late
spring or summer becomes well set

the winter season, and If properly

of Illinois was equally brief in present

William l.. Dayton of New Jersey; of
Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania of
Salmon p. Chase of Ohio; of Edward

SWINE TREATED WITH VIRUS
vaccinated Hogs Should Be Placed In
Separate Pen Away From Other
Animals of Herd.
tBy W. P. sHuLER. Oklahoma Esperi.

(By w. P. SHULER. Oklahoma Expert
ment Station)
IL you vaccinate part of your herd
of hogs by the double treatment theJ
should be placed in separate pen,
away from the other hogs, and kept
under quarantine, so to speak, for
about three weeks, in order to avoid
the possibility of transmitting cholers
to the unvaccinated ones.
When an animal receives the double
treatment, he has mild attack OF
cholera. The vaccine furnishes his
body with enough extra protective sub
stances that the animal is uninjured.
After the vaccination has taken this
animal is liable to transmit disease for
period of from 20 to 80 days. After
that time he should be dipped, the
pen thoroughly disinfected. and then
he can go back among the unvaccinat.
ed hogs. Otherwise he will carry the
cholera.
1t is better to allow a month to
elapse and strict quarantine observed.
Use different vessels to feed, and oh.
low no one to go into the pens. II you
give the other hogs dose of vaccine.
but not virus, they can safely asso-
ciate with the hogs that have had the
double treatment, but under no othe,
condition is this possible.

Road Drag Is Essential in Putting
Roads In Good Condition.

many miles of roads during the last
winter, made in the late fall, that
were all but impossible practically
all winter.
A new road made in the late fall
can hardly help but be rough all
winter. This kind of road means a
lot more wear on the auto, higher
gasoline expense and very much
general wear on the car. 1t also
means that the farmer cannot haul
nearly as heavy load with his team
and a quicker wearing out of the
wagon.
In the rural districts lot of road
work is done by voters working out
their poll tax. This work is gener-
ally done when they can best spare
the time, which is in the fall. If
the men who do this work would
consult their best interests we be-
lieve' they would arrange to do it
in the summer, even If it were not so
convenient and it cost them more.
Road overseers who have this work
in charge can help in this line more
than anyone else. If they will but try,
a lot of this work now done in the fall
can be done when it should be. This
official should look more to good roads
than to his own Commemorative

scab is not advanced, from two to
three minutes may be sufficient. but
in Graduating hard scab on fine-wool
sheep better results are obtained If the
animals are held from three to five
minutes during the first dipping. When
the disease is advanced it is also rec
commended that the hard scabs be
broken and dressed by hand with
solution of the dipping fluid before
the animal is immersed in the bath.
In this process care should be taken
not to cause the wound to bleed.
The value of proper dipping has
been abundantly demonstrated by past
experience. Nearly all of the states
which formerly suffered from the dis
ease have been released from quaran-
tine, and losses have been reduced to
minimum over the entire area at
fected. The disease has not, however,
been entirely eradicated, and, II
neglected, may assume much of its for
mer Importance. 1t is extremely CON
tagious and may be spread in num-
Der of ways. A flock of scabby sheep
will infect roads, old bed grounds
sheds, trails, pastures. ranges and the
ground around watering places. Dur
ing the dry summer months the scah
often remains dormant, and it is not
| uncommon at these periods for the
flock master to believe that he has
eradicated it, With the coming OF
cold. rainy weather, however, the dis
ease reappears.
At the present time one of the most
active factors in spreading infection
in the range country is the buck. In
many sections it Is the custom foi
owners to put their bucks in a public
buck herd, where they remain until o
short time before they are turned into
| the eve flocks. Some Of these com.
munity buck herds consist of from SOC
| to 1,500 animals belonging to large
number of different owners. Should
scab exist in any one of the different
outfits owned by these men, the entire
buck herd will become infected and
the bucks. in turn, will spread the dis.
ease upon their return to the eve
flocks. 1t has been estimated that
more than 80 per cent of the Out
breaks of scab in the sheep-raisins
ranges In the West are due directl,
to these buck herds.

BEST TRoUGHs OF CONCRETE
Last Indefinitely and Are Cheaper in
Long Run Than Other Kind
Formula Is Given.

Nothing contributes to the health
and thrift of farm live stock more
than an abundant supply of pure wa
ter. Realizing this. many Mississippi
farmers are building clean, sanitary
and permanent watering troughs OF
concrete. Since such troughs last in
definitely they are proving not only
more satisfactory than other kinds OF
watering troughs but cheaper In the
long run.
In making waterproof concrete, such
as is used in water troughs and tanks,
IT is best to use very wet mixture.
The formula commonly used is one
part cement, two parts sand, four
parts gravel. Add water until the
mixture will pour off the shovel. On
the present-day farm concrete has
many uses. Fence posts, feeding
floors and walks made of concrete will
last indefinitely.
Use good materials-clean sand and
gravel, with not over five per cent OF
loan. clay or other foreign matter.
Use a reliable brand of Portland ce'
ment, free from Jumps.
Use clean water to mix.

against hope that love must come in

against hope that love must come in
time.
While the man upon whom she has
placed her hopes is still single, king
among men could not win her. She
is ever contrasting him--and to his
discredit-with the man her heart
yearns for. If the other was witty
even to frivolIty, the earnest. solemn
young man will prove irksome to her.
If the first one was a fop, delighting
In arousing her Jealousy by staring
with apparent admiration Mt other
girls and actually flirting before her
face and eyes, she will not appreciate
the honorable man who would not con-
descend to torture and shame her In
like manner.
The average woman loves devotedly.
To her, her hero is god. His toler-
ant glance is worth any other mans
most considerable devotion. Unless a
man can be the first tenant of maid
ems heart, he must take his chances of
after happiness should his persuasion
influence her to wed him.
Even after marriage to d good, true
husband, there are women foolish
enough to sigh over scapegrace they
have fortunately missed, wondering if
the happiness they are tasting is real
happiness or if they would have been
more contented had they wed the man
they loved first. A husband finds it
mighty hard to please that kind OF a
wife.
She would never believe she had es-
capped a hard life of it by not getting
the man she liked best. If the old
fame flickers ever so slightly In her
breast the husband finds out at last
that he is welded to q woman who
should have remained single. Both
men and women should be absolutely
sure old loves are weeded out of their
hearts ere they contract new alliances.

put the other. When they are away
from each other, notes, which might
well be called letters, fly thick and
fast between them. Even the tele-
phone is resorted to to keep in touch
with one another almost every hour
If the day.
The winning stranger soon becomes
possessed of the other woman's inner
most secrets-that she has little or
40 hold, perhaps, on her husbands
leart-or of her longing for children
which have been denied her; that her
,elatives-in-law were not pleased over
her marriage with the idol of their
family, openly declaring that he could
have done better than wed q girl who
was obliged to make her own way in
The world.
The agreeable stranger dimes at her
lew-found friends home almost every
evening of the week. At last she is
invited to come there altogether. From
The outset, the husband uttered a mild
protest against his wife becoming a
friend too quickly with one of whom
she knew so little. His better half
thought differently. Womanlke, she
longed for a companion to whom she
could pour out the story Of her trou-
oleS, fancied or real, feeling sure of
sympathy and caresses.
| Being thrown constantly in the
strangers company, morning, noon and
evening, he finds his prejudice against
| her surely but slowly melting. He
| feels ashamed within his own heart
that he mistrusted so charming crea-
ture of being insincere in her likings
Or intents. But mushroom friendship
which blows hot too quickly cools as
suddenly. Such wives find that the
attractive stranger whom they have
established in their homes is in real
lty more of stumbling block to their
happiness than a soothing confidant.
When stranger becomes possessed
Of the secrets good wife should keep
to herself the wife is in that other
womans power. Her husband may
turn to her for her opinion on mat
ters on which he should properly con-
suit his wife only. Even the servants
have to be corrected for taking their
orders from her. The wife is sorely
tired. She fears to make a disturb
ance about 1t, for the woman who
has gradually usurped her place with
her friends in general might divulge
the confidence reposed in her. She
realizes she has been to blame in max
ing q friend of an entire stranger all
too quickly.
Some friendships are costly. Many
woman has paid for them with a
loss of peace, happiness and hope. The
woman too ardent of nature should
take heed, remembering that the new
found friend who smiles the sweetest
can also frown the darkest If she
fancies occasion demands it. The
honeyed-tongue can also utter sheer
ing, aye, bitter words that cut to the
heart all the deeper because they are
uttered by one who was thought to be
friend. Real friends are not knit
together in day.
