The Cow That Kicks Her Weaned Calf
Is All Heart
CONTINUED from First Column.)


Have you ever seen COW follow the wagon that car
res her calf the butcher shop? It is very sad sight the
painve lowing Of the poor mother she follows behind
begging for her child to be restored Every farmer knows
that there necessity for tchng the to the wagon
when her calf is inside She Will follow that calf until She
drops.
There is your loving devoted mother without educa-
ton The cows heart to use the old expression is all right
Her mental equipment perfectly suited to Nature
and society require that she should give the utmost love to
her calf this year. and give all Of that love another
calf next year.
Bring back in three months that calf that she follows
now with such ptfu appeals If the weaned calf tries to
reestabsh the old relationship its mother a heart and
head viii kick it in the ribs and then butt it across the
lot.
It's all right for the cow to be all heart and no head
she does not need the higher education
It is all right for the humble savage mother in the dark
African jungle to be built on the same lines Like the
all that she has to do is to take Of the baby until it is
able to run around and forage for itself
But the civilized mother, the who must do her
duty in the present and in the future well requires good
affection that follows the child from the cradle to maturity
gradually substituting for intense mohery physical care an
equally intense and loving intellectual companionshp and
guidance.
It is important of course that mothers of all kinds
human animal should be cheerful and above all healthy
able feed their babies themselves and feed them well
But as the brain in human being is above the stonl
ach intellect in mother above the maternal
affection inspired by babyhood.
The great mothers are those who, when they cease
feeding the chds body begin to feed the chld brain
great men great, Ln6y were lucky because
they had mothers who did feed them when they
weaned but kept feeding them mentally into their
manhood.
The woman with big brain is the best IN EVERY
WAY
She better before she is married for she attracts the
man of intelligence and establishes family Of intelligent
beings.
She is better young wife because the ambition and
intelligence in her call out the ambition and intelligence in
her husband.
Hers is the happy home that needs no divorce lawyer
Pink cheeks small feet squeezed waists curly hair and such
things disappear get esome And all pink cheeks
very much alike Dr. Johnson said OF the green fields
But intelligence gets tresome; no two brains are
ever at all alike well developed woman of intelligence
always develops qualities she can never be monotonous
There is such thing too much education, although
educating primitive and women apt to develop
expected ittleness, and thus create prejudice.
Note this important fact: The bigger the brain, the
bigger the heart not only physically but senmentay and
morally It takes brain to feel real emotion wedevel
oped mind to develop real sentiment real affection.
foolish ignorant young woman may be pleasant
enough to look at but she is like white pinkeyed rabbit
ornamental, but poor companion
