MIRIAM,s OLD CLOTHES.

Miriam did feel the jeers and the
smokers and the whisperings of the
other little girls in school, oh, yes,
she knew when they got off in the cor
ner Of the cloak room that they were
talking about the patch in the back of
her coat and the old worn shoes she
wore and the sailor suit which shone-
not with brightness, but with old age.
Often Mirian wished to be bird.
Birds never had their clothes patched.
Birds moulted it was true, but they
never wore patches, and after the
moulting season was over they were
CARRIED so trinity and so smartly.
After her moulting season was over
after her clothes had proved by ev-
cry look and sign that they were so
very old-she did not come forth in
new, smart. pretty things. oh, no, she
and the birds did not act alike in the
leastl
But it was hard in school there was
no mistake about it. Grown-ups al
ways thought children were sweet,
kind little creatures unless of course
they told stories and ate candy when
they We're forbidden it.
Miriam knew differently. She knew
that there We're other things children
could do besides being disobedient.
They could be cruel. Oh yes, they
could tease and make fun and smoker
and stare and it was cruel--that was
the truth
Wherever she was it went with her.
1t was worse than a horrible shadow.
1t was something real and something
from which she could not escape The
part that burt most was that her FAM
lily had said a great deal about not
being able to afford anything this
spring, but they didn't know that she
too had been suffering. They didn't
know it was hard for a little girl in
school.
1t was one Sunday night when she
was going to bed that her feelings
seemed almost unbearable. She put
her clothes on the old blue chair as
she always did the night before then
she could dress so MUCH more quickly
in the morning and also have that
much more time for pleasant sleep!
And as she looked at her clothes
she felt angry-hot with anger. How
she hated that old sailor hat and those

SHOULD NOT MATE TOO SOON
FOR Best Results, Angora Goats
Must Be Allowed to First Attain
Full Maturity.

Angora goats of both sexes will
sometimes mate when five months old
and often at six months, but from the
fact that they are at this age but
a month or two from weaving time, and
are not nearly full grown, it is obvious
that they should not be permitted to
mate. They reach maturity when
about 10 or 10 months old, and they
ought not to mate before that time.
If mated earlier the kids will not be
so strong or so well developed. They
are in their prime when two or six
years old, but with proper feeding
in winter they have been known to
breed regularly until Is years old.
The average life of a goat IS about
- years. There should be no tendency
to keep does until they are very old,
unless they bring extra good kids.

BEST LOCATION OF HOG LOT
Simple Precaution May Be Means Of
Preventing Spread of Cholera
Isolate New Stock.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When hog cholera sweeps through a
neighborhood, causing the death of
hundreds of animals, simple precau-
ton, as the proper location of the hog
lot may be the means Of preventing
infection. Where not to have the hog
lot is pointed out and other sugges-
lions on the control and eradication
of this disease are given in leaf1et
published by the. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Hog lots should
be located away from streams and
highways. Free range, streams, irri-
cation canals, ETC., help in the spread
of cholera outbreaks. Don't visit
neighbors hog lots or allow neighbors
to visit yours if they have sick hogs.
Infection may be carried by teams and
wagons from highways; don't drive in
to hog lots. Isolate for at least two
weeks all new stock hogs and those
just returned from exhibitions and
sales. Don't borrow or lend hogs for
breeding purposes if cholera is in the
community.
Burn to ashes or bury four feet deep
all animals that die on the farm and
the unused internal organs of slaugh-
tered animals, since they attract dogs,
which may carry infection. If cholera
appears in the neighborhood, confne
your dog and encourage others to do
likewise. Immunize herds located dam
gerously near infected centers. Care
full attention to the feeding and han
ding Of the herd after immunization is
an important matter. Mango, lice and
worms lower the vitality of hogs and
render them more susceptible to dis
ease.
If cholera appears In the herd, post
warning notices so your neighbors will
know about it, suggests the depart
ment. Have all susceptible hogs Inn
munized at once by some one with
special training and experience, pref
erably to a competent veterinarian. In
sist that the temperature of all hogs be
taken at time of treatment and an in
creased dose of serum given to those
showing a temperature Of 104 degrees
f. or over. Conf1ne all treated hogs to
limited, clean quarters keep on light,

old shoes which simply refused to be
covered with backing in way to
hide the shabbiness. How she hated
them all. In the morning again would
begin those looks toward her-thOse
looks which said quite plainly that
they wondered if she were never going
to have anything new to weari
AS her eyes filed with tears at the
thought of the next day she heard her
mother and her father talking. She
had been a long, long time in her room.
They had evidently thought she was
sound asleep, for though their voices
were low she could hear them.
Il can't help it, her mother was
saying, II know have done the right
thing, and / wouldn't have done any
thing else, but / feel so sorry for Mir
lam that I just can hardly bear seeing
the child go off to school In the morn
ings in her old clothes.
children haven't changed since my
day and can remember that children
were not always kindly about such
things
And then came her fathers voice !:
"But you know, DEAR" he said, eff we
hadn't had that money in the savings
bank we wouldn't have dreamed Of
suggesting to the doctor that you take
baby down South. And you know he
said that saved her life"
"Oh, | know" her mother answered
"It was luck that / hadn't spent that
money before on a new outfit for Mir
lam and for the painting of the house,
and those repairs, as / had planned.
But it is hard for little Miriam to have
to suffer" And her mothers voice
ended in sob.
Miriam closed her door very quietly.
She couldn't bear to hear any more.
But she looked at the old shabby
clothes on the chair. Then she went
over to them and buried her head in
the old shabby sailor suit.
Dear old Clothes" she sobbed,
you've saved. baby's life and mother
does care oh, yes, mother cares like
anything for us too! But just think,
