A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

The Young Bob Whites Talk II Over
IT'S useless to attempt to preach
That which experience. must teach.
Bob White.
The. fifteen children of Bob White
and Mrs. Bob White always had
been very obedient. Bob and Mrs.
Bob had been very proud of the way
in which those children obeyed. But
they were now quite as big as their
father and mother and felt quite
equal to taking care of themselves.
You see, they hadn't learned yet
that growing up isn't just d matter
of growing big. They hadn't learned
that experience is quite as much IL
part of growing up.
After Bob White had told them
that the dreadful hunting season
was at hand and warned them to
stay on Farmer Browns land, they
were as obedient as usual for few
days. But at the end of that time
they began to grow uneasy. All sum-
mer they had been in the habit Of
going wherever they pleased. In
the next field to Farmer Browns
it happened to be a wheat field
there was a great deal of wheat
scattered through the grown stub
BILE. 1t had fallen when the wheat
had been harvested: It was splendid
eating. My, my, my, I should say
so! Those young Bob Whites kept
thinking about it. Whenever Bob
White and Mrs. Bob White were
absent they got together and talked
the matter over. ~ think father
and mother are getting old and it
makes them foolishly anxious" said
one young Bob White.

matrimonial problem. For most
men entertain a, similar idea regard
ing themselves, and the dove of
peace is not likely to perch on the
roof pole of the house in which the
wife considers herself 1T.
On the other hand. domestic fe-
licity depends on a woman's adap-
liability. and you have to catch 'em
young to teach 'em that trick. After
woman once acquires ways and
forms set opinions she is adamant.
She can't adjust herself to hus-
bands peculiarities. He must either
take her or leave her as she is. She
can't change.
Therefore, girl SHOULD marry
when she has cut her wisdom teeth,
but before she is convinced that she
is a Solomon in petticoats; when
she is settled enough to have some
backbone of her own, yet plastic
enough to mold; and when she Is
tired of playing and wants to be
about the business of life. And this
psychological hour comes some
where between twenty-five and

How are your cows doing? Not
so we'll They have fallen off great
ly in milk lately. 1t must be the
flies or the continuance of the hot
weather. Very likely they have ex-
erted an undesirable influence, but
that is not the real cause. Well,
what is it then? 1t is due more
largely than anything to the drying
up of the pastures ana IN empty
manger. Cows live to eat. If they
do not, they are Improbable. Why
not give them a chance to eat all
the essential food they can? 1t is
not a difficult matter even on the
small farm to supply all the green
food needed for the summer drouth
spell which invariably comes. To
this end, a succession of soiling
crops should be planted. What to
plant and how to use the resulting
feed is set forth below by Prof.
George P. Sage, who has had expert
ence in these matters.
The soiling system consists of
growing some crop which can be
cut and fed to the cattle while it is
green. Sorghum or Sudan grass
will make a vigorous growth, and
| both are good crops for this pur-
pose. They can be seeded after the
small grain has been harvested. This
should be attended to at once if
you expect to keep up the milk flow
in the hottest part of the summer.
One-eighth to one-quarter of an acre
per cow will suffice. Feed the COW
thirty to forty pounds of this green
feed per day in addition to the grain
feed The seed can be either broad
cast or sown in rows.
Most OF us have had experience
with kicking cows. Kicking at first
is caused by pain or fear, and, if
| the cow is not properly handled, it
will become a habit. A man should
| not let the kicking habit ruin and
otherwise good COW.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

If the COW is kept on a hard sur
face while being MIXED, perhaps
the best way to break her from kick
ing is to tie the two hind legs to-
gether. 1t is best to run the rope
or leather strap around each leg.
twice, once above the hook and once
just beneath the hook and the ropes
between the legs. If the COW stands
ON the ground, perhaps better re-
suits can be obtained by driving
stake in the ground just behind
the COW. Fasten a rope to this stake
and tie the right hind foot of the
cow to the stake at each milking.
The mixer should then be quiet and
gentle, but firm with the cow and
continue to tie the foot for several
months. Do not sell or kill high
producing COW because she is a
kicker.
The sucking habit is not extreme
ly common, but when it is once
acquired. it is a very bad habit and
difficult to break. Perhaps the best
way to break a COW of this habit is
to make halter to fit the COW and
fasten to it a bit made of small
piece of iron piping. Bore a few
holes in the bit so that they will be
in the cows mouth. Fit the halter
to the cows head and let her wear
it indefinitely. When she sucks,
she will suck air through the ends
of the piping. This will not inter:
fere with her eating and drinking
water.
Another thing that is sometimes
done is to put a ring in the cows
nose and hang a second ring from
| the first. Let the cow wear both
rings for several months and then
take off the second ring. 1t is a
good idea to let her wear one ring
in the nose for two or three years
so that if she starts sucking again
the second ring can easily be ap-

age for a girl to marry is between
twenty-five and thirty for by that
time she is mature enough to know
her own mind and have her taste
in men formed, and she is still
young enough to be able to adapt
herself to the vagaries of husband.
I am opposed to girls marrying
while they are very young for
many reasons. One is that they
lack the experience and judgment
to pick out a life partner, and they
are much more concerned over
whether a man dances well and how
he combs his hair than they are
over his morals and his ability to
make a living. Another reason is
that they don't even know the kind
of man they really want, for the
youth who ravishes their fancy one
day bores them stiff the next. At
eighteen and twenty a girls fancy
for men changes as often as it does
for chocolate creams.
Another reason why a girl should
not marry very young is because
she has not had her play time. She
is not ready to settle down. She is
nOL yet SurIelI6Q WITH duIllIIdllOA'
Her feet still ache for the dance,
and she still wants to run around
with the other boys and girls of her
age. If she marries while this per-
fectly natural urge for pleasure is
in her veins, we get the flirtatious
wife who dishonors herself and her
husband with little affairs that end
in the divorce court, and we have
the mother who neglects her babies
while she gads about. The untidy
home, the delicatessen dinner, the
unwanted children, the querulous,
discontinued wife are, nine times out
of ten, just the outward expression
of the woman who married too
young.
A girl should not marry too
young because she is not old enough
to know how to make allowances
| for the faults and weaknesses of
others. 1t takes age to teach us
that Also all girls are self-cen-
tered, and think the universe re-
wolves around them. That is no
