 MT. Sterling possessed in the highest degree moral courage, but on the other hand he was one of the most timid men of his time personally. He often spoke of that weakness saying that it was n- born and he could not control it. He would not become guest at a hotel un- less he coud secure a room on the ground floor. The thought of crossing the ocean gave him such terror that he never visited Europe. He caused his house to be equipped with all kinds of burglar alarms, and if he went out in the evening he insisted on some frien1 accompanying him. He himself could not understand what seemed to be the inconsistency of possessing moral cour age in the highest degree while at the same time he often suffered tortures by reason of his personal tirnidity

BEST FEED FOR YOUNG PIGS
When Little Animals Begin to Nose
Around for Something to Eat Sup
ply Shelled Corn.

prepared by the United States Depart
met OF Agriculture.)
One of the best feeds for young pigs
is shelled corn. When pigs are about
three weeks old, sometimes less, they
begin to NOSE around for something to
eat, and at this time, In order to make
them gain more rapidly, shelled corn
should be supplied.
It should be In a self-feeder In a pen
where the pigs can go to 1t and will
not be bothered by any of the rest Of
the hogs. This can be arranged by a
creep just large enough to admit the
pigs handily. Don't forget that these
little fellows grow quite rapidly and
from time to time the creep must be
made larger.
After the pigs are four or five weeks
old, especially If they do not have good
grass pasture, the addition of some
shorts, tankage or oil meal is advlsa-
BILE. Nothing would be better, how
ever, than skinned milk.
The self-feeder In which is kept corn
and other feeds should be maintained
right along until weaving time, and
after that If the pig is intended for
market purposes. Pigs to be used for
breeding purposes may be kept on a
self-feeder all the time with splendid
results, but in some cases they get too
fat and lOgy and do not take the prop
er exercise. The most profitable pig is
the one that never quits growing from
narrowing time until he is driven over
the scales.

New York.-A woman should give
ore than passing interest to the lines
of the spring skirt. 1t does not change
from day to day, but from morning to
afternoon to evening, writes a prOmi-
nent fashion correspondent,
One can sum up the whole situation
by saying that a woman begins straight
In the morning and is on the bias In
the evening. When she appears on
the street at 10 a.. m. her skirt must
be as straight as the path of life laid
out for US by the Bible. There must
not be a deviation in the way of a
flare, a ripple or a rufie. The skirt
may go in a bit at the ankles, but that
is not required by fashion. It must
look like a straight bag dropped from
the waist line.
In the afternoon the skirt begins to
waver from the straight line. 1t takes
unto itself a tunic, which Is attached
to It or begins at the waistline. This
tunic has a ripple and a flare, but its
slenderness Is achieved through It's
fiexibllity. The material Is soft, and
therefore the skirt swings to and from
the figure with a good measure Of
grace.
In the evening the skirt drops all
~pretentions to straight lines. It be-
comes more slender than ever through
widths of material wrapped around the
figure, after the manner of the ancient
Egyptians. The cloth may go to a line
above the knees in its wrapping, and
leave a narrow plated rufle that rests
over the ankles and heels, or the wrap
ping may begin below the bust and
continue to the ankle with a loose end,
or two or three of them, left floating
on the floor to serve as trains.
Wrapped Skirt lie Distinguished.
There Is no doubt that a struggle
TOR supremacy will come between the
two fashions. The wrapped skirt will
not be content to be limited to evening
usage 1t wants 60 appear on the street
in a modified measure, in cloth cos
tunes.
Already one hears 1t said that the
coffee-bag skirt will not Inst through
the summer. 1t is not an admirable
model for thin materials, such as pom
gee, extra fine serge, and the new
worsted that Is expensive but ultra
Cashionable-a kind of worsted that
was invented in France, and has the
appearance of coarse-meshed thin An
CORA.
The plated skirt Is a substitute for
this coffee-bag skirt, but unless 1t is
done by machinery it is not acceptable,
and women are not altogether enthu'
siastic over the continuance of straight
plating. They r willing to accept
t as an underskirt, fashioned after the
Alexandrian manner, to serve as a
mere foundation to n tunic of brilliant
lines, but they do not want to use 1t
for a whole skirt. Therefore, the
chances are that the wrapped or
draped skirt will have Its own way
and creep into the clothes that are

There is a compromise tunlc, that is
nothing more or less than two panels
placed at the waistllne to fall over the
hips and touch the hem of the skirt.
Many of them do not stop at the hem,
but drop onward to the floor, where
they are weighted with tassels or en-
broIdery. When the gown is worn In
the evening these panels rest upon the
floor for ten or fifteen inches, giving
a curious silhouette and often making
a bunglesome movement that no wOm-
an but an accomplished actress would
wish to overcome.

HAVE A WEED-FREE FARM

prepared by the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture.)
Far more important than to
kill weeds is to avoid having
weeds to kill. In other words,
the farmer should aim to pre-
vent rather than cure the evil.
A farm can be made almost free
Of weeds by strictly observing
the following principles: (1)
Prevent weeds from going to
seed on the farm; (2) prevent
weed seeds being brought to the
farm; and (3) in the case Of
perennial weeds, prevent them
from making top growth and
thus finally starve out the I'M
d%erground parts.
