Keeping Farm Accounts

A farmer who kept account under
the objection of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture the last
two years made a thousand dollars
thru better hog feeding. Like many
persons, he knew better than to do
as he was doing, but he was Mis-
sourian enough that he had not only
to be shown, but must do the showing
himself This is where the farm
accounts system came in. He adopt
ed hog feeding methods that animal
husbandry experiments have shown
beyond question to be practicable.
His accounts convinced him that such
methods were practicable for him.
The first year this farmers hogs
made return after all other expens-
es including labor had been paid. Of
$1.03 a bushel for the corn fed. Corn
sold locally for about SO cents. This
left a profit OF IA cents bushel from
feeding the corn. That was not so
bad, but the next year he determined
to do better. The next year his hogs
netted return of 50 bushel for the
corn fed. Corn sold locally for $1.40
b bushel. This left profit of $3.50
q bushel from feeding the corn. The
prices received for hogs the second
year. however was S. per cent higher.
This would account for an increased
receipt per bushel OF sc per cent of
$1.03 or 68 cents. Other things be-
ing the same the year before, $1.71 a
bushel for corn could have been ex-
pected due to the increase In price
received for hogs. The actual re-
turns amounted to So a bushel. This
leaves the difference between So a
bushel and Sill a bushel. or S1.29
a bushel increased profits due to i'm
proved methods. To be conservative
and clearly within the limits OF truth,
the difference due to better methods |
was counted as an even 81 bushel
Eleven hundred and thirty bushels of
corn were fed. The saving was safe
ly put at one thousand dollars.

the most absorbing interest that it's
possible to have. which is babies
1t is true that babies are the most
wonderful bond conceivable. Yet
even babies aren't enough to keep
love alive, in the honeymoon sense.
As matter of fact. you'll have to
be on your guard not to be too
parental-not TO lose sight of each
others individualities in your alb
sorption in the children.
If YOU and your husband wish to
remain lovers always-and you
know that at present that's your
dearest hope-don't let your very
personalities fade away i'll the
unsellish excitement of becoming
father and mother" Mother
hood is marvellous thing, and so
is fatherhood, in lesset degree.
But see if you can't experience them
to the utmost and still hold fast
to that lover-liSe relation, that is
so precious to YOU now.
You can do it if YOU sincerely
want to. It's been done before. in
spite of what everybody has told
you; and done triumphantly.
If your love is big and real, and
YOU respect it and nourish it suf-
liciently. it can live as long as YOU
do.
See if YOU can't make your honey
moon last Il lifetime.

LITTLE TALKS BY.

Perhaps you were married Il

1t may be that YOU were fortunate
enough to take short journey to-
Sether, and since then YOU and your
husband have been busy installing
yourself in the fiat YOU have been
planning so absorbedly Tor Il year
or so.
In any case. you two young lovers
have been able to he together. and
alone. for the first time in your
lives, and YOU haven't missed the
rest OF the world bit.
You have continually reminded
each other of your happiness, and
you have asked each other. rather
too often. perhaps, Shall we ever
be as happy again?''
That is to say, YOU have disturbed
your happiness even ut it's height;
you've had more than n fear. you've
had almost a dark certainty. that
it couldn't possibly last.
It's been very wonderful this
honeymoon. 1t would really have
been joy without Il flaw-if YOU
could only have believed in 1t. But
all your life you've heard the world
say that honeymoons don't last, that
the beautiful bright flame of love
Yields shortly TO the ashes of dull
ness and indifference and that all
the rest of life amounts to not much
more than Il hard daily struggle
with practical facts and conditions.
It's no wonder you've believed
that the repetition has been so con-
stant. It's no wonder you've be-
lieved that every pair of lovers in
the world must succumb to the su-
perstition that love can last but
month.

Even so, there was no reason why
she, an outsider, should remain in

Does this horrify you? Have you
been taught that woman can't be

she spends in cooking for her man,
in sewing and in cleaning for him,
the better wife she is?
And yet you must have noticed
that women who do spend all their

Boston, March 17.-Members of the
Friends OF Irish Freedom at a st. Pat
ricks eve meeting here last night
adopted resolutions condemning the
League of Nations as proposed by
President Wilson. The resolutions say
that the proposed covenant excludes
Ireland from ever becoming free

Article eleven makes provisions
whereby the citizens of this country
may be conscripted to put down an
insurrection in Iredand,' Canada, Aus.

people would dare TO fight Tor their
freedom.
I'VE emphatically oppose any League
of Nations that infringes in any way
on American sovereignty and which
does not guarantee absolute Irish in

Gated. There we waited long,

TO us Miss Moss, formerly of the
QuivcriAg, rctreating chin and poaCh-
Cd-egg personality. but now looking
almost clean-cut and efficient in her
starched white uniform.
Terry. who had never met Miss
Moss, leaped to his feet and gasped:
How is she?"
In that cry there was no sugSes-

Moss. Doctor says there's really

secretly believed in it you wonder
that love has kept its good name
and that anybody has been willing
to marry.
III is time. ! think, that we looked
into this honeymoon superstition.
1t is time that lovers learned how
TO prolong their love, instead OF
sacrificing it to bogey of pes
Simism.
Why shouldn't honeymoon happi-
ness last?
We have to admit that there are
cases where it can't. But these are
mostly cases where the lovers are
unworthy of the greatness of love.
cases where man regards a wife
as possession, and having secured
her. Immediately begins to be die
tatorial, and perhaps Il little brutal,
so that love becomes crippled for
ever.
Or cases where woman is self
ish and, spoiled and .eXacting, so
that love grows changed and tongue
tied. Or cases where some unpieas-
ant personal habit. like greediness or
sloNenliness. makes love ashamed
of itself.
But, after all, it's not of these
cases that we are speaking.
Truly loving and love worthy
lovers should be able to keep their
love alive. even though every cynic
in the world shall tell them that
marriage is the end of love.
And YOU who have been married
a month, have YOU begun to guess
how it may be done?
Let me give YOU a suggestion or
two. For one thing. don't let too
great difference in interests arise
between you and your husband.
Love won't live without compan-
ionship. I'll admit that. And con-
panionship demands that as many
of your interests as possible be
