poor grades of butter are urged by A.
j.. Mcclure, dairy specialist with the
agricultural extension division of the
University of Minnesota, to put on an
educational campaign among their

all cream delivered at least twice a
week and in improving the methods
on the farms for greater. care and
cleanliness SO that pure sweet cream
will be delivered" he says. 1.-THE wide

poor butter results in serious losses

prevented"

mending the Hunter. variety devel
oped by the experiment station. The

be large. handsomely colored and very
good in quality. 1t is believed that

good commercial possibilities if plant
ed on a small scale.

Cane Fruits Need Care
After Crops Harvested

AS soon as the crops Of blackber-
ries, raspberries or loganberries are
harvested. the old vines should be cut
out and burned. These old vines carry
over many disastrous diseases. Amy
plant that looks suspicious in any
blackberry or raspberry patch should
be burned. Summer pruning can be
carried on in the young canes Of black
berries and black raspberries. AS
soon as the canes are two or three
feet high they should be pinched
back, forcing out laterals. If these
laterals become too rangy, they can
be cut back slightly in the spring Of
the year.

Strongest Objection to
Alfalfa as Cover Crop

The strongest objection to alfalfa
as an orchard cover crop is that the
grower is apt to turn the orchard
into a bayfield,, that Is, he Is tempted
to harvest two or three hay crops
each year, and to keep this up for
several years. When this is done. It
is done at the expense of soil fertility,
and the evil effect will soon appear
in decreased yield and poor quality

Blossoms of Strawberry
of Two Different Kinds

Strawberry blossoms are of two
kinds. One kind is called perfect,
staminate. or male. and the other kind
imperfect, pistillate, or female. Some
varieties have perfect blossoms and
other varieties have imperfect bios
SONS. Those with perfect blossoms
produce pollen which will fertilize
both perfect and imperfect blossoms
and enable them to bear fruit. The
varieties with imperfect blossoms cam
not set fruit without receiving pollen

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF DAVID GARRIcK
By MARY ADRIAN

Although there was nothing in the
direct descent that brought to Dav-
id Garrick, the great English actor
of the eighteenth century, any part
of his genius, it was from the fam
lily of his mother, Arabella Clough,
that he inherited the qualities and
talents that brought him into fame.
His maternal grandfather was a vi
car-choral in a great cathedral and
biographers claim that this man,
although he led a clergical life, had
the temperament and developed
talent of a fine actor. an that these
qualities skipped a gem cation and
were transferred directly down to
his daughters son.
AS for the mother of Garrick her
self. she wag a kindly sweet-natured
woman, of a rather religious and
somewhat puritanical turn of mind.
She was a good mother in the con-
ventional sense, taking care of her
sons physical and material welfare,
and doing what she could to devel-
op him in the way he should go. She
did not approve of actors, and felt
that anybody with such inclinations
sh( uld be guided into the path OF
Righteousness. Yet, when she dis

Betty thought it was fine to have

YOUR BABY AND MINE
Diet for Baby
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Diet for Baby
Mrs. w. H. w. writes:
l have a baby three months old
who at birth weighed over seven
pounds and now weighs fifteen. She
sleeps well and is bright and play
full, has a large bowel movement of
good color and consistency, every
other day. There is only one thing
that worries me, her cheeks are COW
cred with prickly heat. l have used
everything with no results. The rest
of her body is perfectly clear. On
warm days I keep her in band and
diaper. Both cheeks are badly in
famed.
Does prickly heat come from in
correct diet? If my milk is poor
how is 1t that she gains weight and
apparently is perfectly satisfied?
Should her bowels move every day
and what can l do to make them
move without forming a habit? can
a mothers milk be too rich? Is
nettle rash the same as prickly neat?
What causes it? The only thing she
gets aside from breast milk is orange
juice.
Answer: I can only take your
word for it that the eruption is
prickly heat. 1t seems rather strange
that If she is being dressed too warm
that she does not have it on other
parts of the body. Have you thought
that your milk might be too rich in
cream and that this is a sort of
stomach rash? Try cutting out
Xatty foods, buffers, cream to some
elxtent, and give the baby a table,
Moon of clear water before each
eHursing. Use soda water on the face
and a powder made of common
starch and boric acid powder.
z A mothers milk can be too rich'
and when a baby gains as fast as
yours has it is rather conclusive that
the milk is very rich. You can help
this through your diet and through
exercise.

NO TIME FOR ENVY

Some one has said, "He who hustles has no time for envy
How true that is.
Though we all dislike to admit it, the germ of envy is in
every human heart. The difference in people is that in some
it lies dormant while in others it multiplies rapidly.
The husting, busy, mentally active and physically Wig
orous person has no time to nurse the envy germ. 1t is ne
elected. 1t is dormant. For a life filed with big thoughts, bid
deeds and big ambitions is too busy for the petty, distracting
and disturbing thoughts of envy.
Little Mrs. Ray with a house and three children to take
care of has no time to NOPE around and envy Mrs. White
with her life of ease AMI leisure.
Mrs. Harriott, who is engaged in all kinds of philan-
thropic and church work, is kept too busy to envy her neigh
Dor, Mrs. Huse, her new seven passenger touring car.
Young Miss Brown is very fond of travelling, but she
is SO vitality interested in her new work and kept so busy at
it that it never occurs to her to envy Miss Fox who has plenty
Of leisure time and money to travel wherever she wishes.
Yes, work is wearing and often wearying and sometimes
discouraging, but isn't it better to lead a busy, active, big life
than to be bored to death eking out an %indoent, useless,
lazy existence?
If for no other reason than that it keeps the miserable
germ of envy dormant, work is a blessing.

Feminine LEFT overs"

In one of the new novels the
author discusses the right OF women
to their own economic freedom.
He starts out, apparently. with the
assumption that every woman in the
world who isn't a happily married
wife and the mother of at least six
infants of assorted sizes is an encum-
brance on the face of the earth and
a generally undesirable person.
1t is rather odd to encounter such
old-fashioned doctrine these days,
when the ~so-called old maids. are
achieving so many worthwhile
things, and, incidentally, helping to
pay some of the bills incident to
their married brothers and sisters
households.
"Auntie' is making a good salary
She isn't married. She can pay for
Betty James music lessons. Mother
needs a new coat. The house needs
a new furnace. Who pays fer
mothers coat7 The answer is SIM
BILE, If she happens to have a pros
porous bachelor sister.
In the old days the feminine left

upon, contributed their labors Tor

Tolerate them around. The value of
their labors nay have been Jar In
kexcess of what they received, but
that didn't matter. Public opinion
tbelieved them to have lost out in the
matrimonial sweepstakes, and, there
sfore, they were only entitled to what
kthey could get. =.
- the opportunities that exist
today for earning ones own living In
a c%ongenial manner, the oma to
whom matrimony does not appeal
may work out her own salvation.
That many of the finest types OF
American women are deliberately
choosing the lone pathway Is not a
particularly high compliment to men
or the latters' ideals of marriage.
Men will have to jack up their
standards if they expect to compete
with careers for the favor of supe-
rior women.
