WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

THE hand that rocks the CRADLE but
there is no such hand.
Ii Is bad to rock the baby. they would
have us understand
So the cradles but relic Of the former
foolish days,
When they jounced them, and they
bounced them, those poor dwarfs OF
long ago.
The Washingtons and JeffeEsons and Ad-
amses. you know.
They warn us that the baby will possess
a muddled brain
If we dandle him or rock him; we must
carefully refrain;
he must lie in one position, never swayed
or never swung
Or his chance to grow to greatness will be
blasted while he's young.
All. to think how they were ruined by
their mothers long ago,
The Franklins and the Putnams and the
Hamiltons. you know.
We must feed the baby only by the sched-
ule that is made
And the food that he is given must be
measured out and weighed.
He may below TO inform us that he isn't
satisfied
But he couldn't grow to greatness IL his
wants were all supplied;
Think how foolish nursing stunted those
poor weaklings long ago,
The Shakespeares and the Luthers and
the Bonapartes, you know.
We are given a great mission, we are
here, today on earth
To bring forth a race of giants and to
guard them from their birth,
To insist upon their freedom from the
rocking that was bad
For our parents and their parents, scram-
bling all the brains they had
All. had they been fed by schedule. would
they have been stunted So

Plants Should Be Watered
Thoroughly When Very Dry

Water pot plants only when they
need it. then water them thoroughly
When the soil begins to get dry and
powdery on the surface. or when the
pot is tapped with the fingers and it
emits ringing sound. the plant re-
quires water. Then give sufficient
water so that it runs out through the
bottom of the pot; withhold water un-
I'll needed again. Giving a little water
every day. or at any stated interval,
is not the way to water plants. Use
tepid rain water or water that has
been exposed to air and sun if pos
sible for day or two. The water
should be just lukewarm, about so
degrees or 60 degrees. Never use ice
cold spring water for plants in winter.
Warm water may be used to mix with

Beavers Most Marvellous
Accomplishment, Building
OF Dams to Retain Water

"And now we come 10 the most mar

Is the reason for building this DAM"

towed TO the site of the dam.
During this work another interest

played. the animals thrift and elimi-

green bark and this is easily obtained.
Many branches are stripped by the
broad inciSor teeth and for a time
these lie in confusion along the banks
but not for long. The foundation OF

tooth-hewn timber and once the out
line is established there is general
cleanup on shore. Sticks that have
been gnawed free of bark are simply
carted TO the water and turned loose
as is much other debris in the shape
of fine, loose brush, left over from the
larger cutting. This material floats
downstream and lodges against the
framework of the dam, where 1t is
worked into the crevices, and is fol-
lowed by water-sOaked materials,
much mud and wet leaves from the
Stream bottom. The dam is soon eff

The beavers now work at the base of
the dam, making it broader by packing

Physician Declares ColorS
Have Influence on Nerves

A New York physician who gives
more credit to nature than he takes for
himself in the cures he has wrought is
a great believer i'm the effect of colors
on the human race. Nature is the
best teacher in these things. he says
You will find in your surroundings in
the country no black ana very little
red. Blue and yellow are combined in
the restful. reviving green. There is
no doubt. the doctor contends. that the
wearing of black has an evil effect on
both health and spirits. 1t is the color
of Saturn, the planet of gloom, misfor-
tune, fatality and other evil things.
If one wishes TO be happy and bril-
liant, blue is the color to wear. The
doctor says that the spirit Of evil hates
blue intensely and flies at the sight Of
it. Blue also Gains the nerves and
therefore 1t is good color for room
decorations.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

The grower who expects TO realize
a nice profit from his poultry. will
keep purebred stock. Any of the
standard breeds of poultry have years
of intelligent breeding back of them
and they can be depended on to give
satisfaction.
Cr0ss-breedlng Is q step backward
Most breeders who practice cross
breeding, mate one Of the larger breeds
with one of the smaller. as Plymouth
Rock and Leghorn. The idea in cross
breeding is TO produce a fowl that
will not only lay well. but one that
will also make good table fowl The
result of such crossing is always dis
appointing and results in flock that
is little better than mongrels.
The advantages OF keeping pure
bred stock are numerous: One can
market uniform product in eggs
and stock. The value of uniformity
i'm products cannot be Over-estimated.
A case of eggs all of q color and size,
or coop of hens that run uniform in
Si%c anu Noioi' VIII usually SCH ocIlei
than n mixed lot of eggs or a coop of
mOngrelS.
When purebred poultry is kept one
can often sell eggs for Matching or
mature stock, at prices that one could
not expect TO realize for market eggs
or scrub stock.
And then the satisfaction and pride
of caring for flock of purebred
chickens is a point that ought to be
considered.
