ICE

with g. mild winter behind us and unmer before us, the question of ice gain looms large. Most Americans ITO dependent upon cold drinks. Te- id water does not quench our Ameri- an thirst as water that sparkles with .oolness does, and as for cold tea, e1nonade and fruit punch that are Ilmost warm, we have no use for hem. Besides that, we need ice to preserve various foods in warm weather.
 One way to lessen the ice bill is to suy perishable things like meat and nifk tn small quantities, and to have ' very small ice box to hold water, butter and the other perishables that we must have on hand. A nursery ce box or refrigerator costs $2 or t3 and can be chilled with a five sent piece of ice, which will last for two days in weather that is not of he hottest sort. This is big enough 10 hold small bottles of water, a jar pf butter, a basket of fruit eggs and uch left-overs as need chilling. But ,f course with such a small box the food supply must be carefully man lged, 50 that there will not be quan- tities of food on hand that would Spoil without ice.

states, buckwheat can be sown aI- most anywhere without reference to elevation, but farther south it is best adapted to the uplands and noun tainous sections
 Buci1wheat should be ,sown on land prepared as for corn. It is an excellent crop to SOW where corn or some other crop has been planted but where a stand has not been se- cured. Best results are obtained where the land is plowed yearly and IS well prepared, but good results can be obtained by sowing imme- diately after blowing and harrow:ns.
 Isuckwheat is valuable as '. human food. It is also an excellent feed for poultry. The middlings remaining as by-product after milling are, on account of their high protein con- tent, a valuable feed for dairy COWS. The production of buckwheat will help to provide food in many districts this year for local consumption and thus help to avoid the danger of shortage due to possible lack of ade- quate transportation facilities

known wife of a widely known and wealthy man. The wealthy man Is thrown in contact with beautiful wo- men,-good, bad, indifferent. If peo- pie never see his wife along with him, they shut their eyes to the possibility of his having one. Brilliant women who are such a contrast to the sad, quiet wife at home are alluring to him. The romance of many a wife ends in the divorce court. She is given a stipend to loosen the tie, which binds unto him mate he Is dissatisfied with, that he may wed a younger, fairer woman. in that other life into which he has plunged. While all mar ried couples should be moderately am- bilious, it is neither wise nor best to make wealth the goal for which they strive. Love should be the pilot of their boat. Love is better than any thing else the world can give.

Grow Buckwheat!
 Is Advice Given
 By Farm Experts

Washington, D. C.. May 1S.-Buck- wheat should be grown in larger quantity this year in New York,
 Pennsylvania, Ohio. Michigan. Wis consin, New England, and in the mountain sections of Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee, where it is known to be a safe crop. It should be sown on land where other crops have fail- ed and on old meadow and pasture lands where the yields of hay and grass promise to be small. This is the advice given by the United States Department of Agriculture to farmers in all states named, but especially to those in New York and Pennsylvan- ia, where about two-thirds of the buckwheat crop of this country is now grown.

 Sometimes that which we long for, proves curse to us, if our wish for it Is granted. Very few of us are sat tsfled with our lot. Many a woman who marries @. man is not satisfied with his love, and the knowledge that he has good position, which. al though he will not realize a fortune from it, will provide for them amply, and allow them to save nice little nest-egg, according to her frugality, for their old age. The honeymoon is scarcely over ere she begins to nag at him to look for another position. He would have been well satisfied to have remained where he was before. Every man is usually influenced by his wife Her ambition acts as a spur to his energies. Often he works for the goal she has set, though his health and strength warn him he is being overworked. It usually dawns upon such husbands that the woman he has married cares more for wealth anId position than to preserve his health. The more. some women have, the more they want.
 Then again wife is often satisfied with little wealth, if she much love. It is the husband who is over-ambi- tiots in that case. When money is his god, it doesn't take him long to get on the high road of success. He was good fellow, loving to his wife, when &@ Wat when the stream of wealth began to in the house with him.

He was pleased that her mind ran to home-naEdng and house work. Now he sneers at a woman whose thoughts run no higher than pots and pans. He had once called her thrifty and ingenious, praising her for making her own dresses After he had accumulated wealth it was plainly irksome for him to go out in public with her. He declared she was a dowdy, that her one object was to shame him in the ill-htting clothes she put together. The woman who has counted her pennies and done her own work in early youth, can never get over thinking it a sin to spend a hun dred dollars or so on a gown made by a fashionable modiste.
 Wealth divides the path of many a welded couple. The o1d-fashioned wife, who is neither young nor so very old. sits at home wondering if she win ever Joe as happy as she was in those early days when her husband sat at her side, content to spend his even ings at home.
