Seeing Is Relieving


When proven wrong the thing to do
Is say you only thought you knew.
Peter Rabbit.
Peter sat on the bank Of the Smil
ing Pool and kept saying over to
himself, "A Chuck won't swim of
his own accord. l just know it. l
am sorry if l have offended Grand
father Frog and Jerry Muskrat by
not believing that that young Chuck

But 1 don't believe it. and l won
believe it. SO there
Peter sat for a long time staring
across to the other bank where a
little way back was the shining
, doorstep of the new Chuck home.
He didn't believe that that young
Chuck living there was Johnny
Chucks runaway son. He was sure
it must be some other young Chuck
/ who had been born on the other
side of the Laughing Brook and
! Smiling Pool.
Presently the owner OF that home
appeared and sat upon his doorstep.
He was too far away for Peter to
recognize him. He sat there for a
where he was watching. At last he
young Chuck went over to a patch
of sweet clover close by his homo
and began to eat. How Peter did
wish he could get over there and
talk to him! But he couldn't with
out swimming, and Peter doesn't
like the water.
He had about decided to go on
his way when the young Chuck
stopped eating and began to waddle
down toward the lower end OF the
Laughing Brook.
He must be going down for a
drink" thought Pete~
When the young Chuck reached
the edge of the water he sat down
on some overhanGing ferns where
he was hidden from Peters sight.
Then Peter saw Jerry Muskrat
swimming just in front OF where he
knew the young Chuck was sitting,
He heard Jerrys squeaky voice.
Hello. young Chuck" said Jerry,
Il was told this morning that you
cant swim"
Then somebody didn't know what
they were talking about" replied the
young Chuck. who was it?"

Muskrat. He doesn't believe that l

comes topping down a bout the ears
Of those who have thought that they
could live in fools paradise.
It is, perhaps, natural for a silly
young girl, whose wants have AL

ents, to believe that love and TO
nance are the only things that count
in the world, and that she could
live on bread and cheese and kisses.
She is convinced that her beloved
Augustus will be all-in-alI to her,
and that when she is married to him
she will be lifted above the material
things of earth, and have no care
about what she eats, or where she
lives. or about such mundane things
as clothes.
Unfortunately, loves young dream
is as substantial a diet rs moon

live upon it soon find that they
have an aching void that cries aloud
for beefsteak and onions and corn
beef and cabbage, and when these
are not forthcoming, romance goes
into the discard. For it is sad but
true that our bodies must be fed

This isn't because Angelina has

ments after you enter the holy es'
tate as you did before you entered it.
The woman who marries man
who can't support her is fOredOomed
to lose out because she soon finds
her romance in tatters and her at
lection dead. For no woman can
love a man she does not respect, and
no woman can respect a man who
is too lazy and shiftless to make a
living for his family
A woman can forgive q man any
other crime on earth easier than she
can just being no account. lacking
the energy. the grit and the deter
minatiOn to get on fn the world, and
when she realizes that she is tied for
life to this kind of a man, she is
filled with a whitening contempt OF
| him that burns up the last shred OF
sentiment she has in her heart for
him. No wife is so miserable as she
who is ashamed of her husband be
cause he cannot hold his own among
other men.
Angelina thinks her parents cruel
because they are not willing for her
to marry a man who cannot make q
living. Let her reflect that il a man
cannot support his family some one
else must take on his job. Does An
gelina feel that it is fair and just
to ask her old father to undertake

pie drinks the last dregs in the cup
of humiliation. She knows what 1t
is to be poor Angelina-ed, to be
pitied as a failure by her friends, to
be resented by her brothers and sis
tiers, and to even be regarded as a
burden by her parents.
Does Angelina think that she ~ould
enjoy supporting a able-bodied man
who is too temperamental, or who
was born too tired to work? That is
better than grating ones living and
ones husbands living off papa. but
Angelina will soon ascertain that
the man who sits down and let's Il
woman work for him has ceased to
he tho hero of her romantic dreams
and become a figure too contempti-
BILE for her to burn incense at his
feet any more.
Furthermore, the minute a man
takes money from a woman and be
comes dependent upon her, that
minute he begins to hate her. l know
hundreds of women who support
Their husbands, and / do not know
one single man in the whole lot who
is not like A surly dog that bites the
hand that feeds it.
So. Angelina, if you value your
own happiness. don't marry A man
who cannot support you. You don't
need riches to marry on, but you
need enough to be independent on.
And any worthwhile man can make
that.
Have nothing TO do with the man
who quotes poetry, and tells you
how he adores you, but who SHES
away from a job. The real test Of
a mans love for a woman is not
what he tells her, but what he does
for her. There are many ways Of
lovemaking, but the only one that
counts says it with WORK.
That is why it ism t safe 10 marry
a man who can't support you.

Utilizing Legumes For Green
Manuring,


A. K. NJ, Cove, Texas,
writes: Please give me some in
formation on the growing OF
legumes for green manuring

of the southwest with a considerable

strains of this bean require $50
days in which to develop. There
are sorts which are said to mature
In from 90 to 100 days. Our expe-
rienCe leads us to anticipate a
growing season OF $50 to $50 days.
When we grow velvet beans for
manuring purposes, we plant them
by themselves. They may be sown

strains for general cultivation in
this country. They are among the

We have tested here.
If YOU grow cowpeas on land
where YOU expect to plant cotton,
1t is best to plant those strains
which are most generally resistent
to the rematode worm. The Iron
and the Brabham are the best sorts,
therefore, to cultivate with this end
in view. Cowpeas will be ready to

stand in this way, and, as a rule, a
larger green crop to turn under.
Soy beans can alao be used for
green manuring. Their upright
habit of growth, however, does not
adapt them so well for coVer-crop
purposes. Hairy vetch may be
used in your section of the country
as a winter cover crop. We have
also had good results with crimson
clover. Sometimes we combine
crimson clover. hairy vetch and
oats or rye on the basis of five
pounds of clover, fifteen pounds of
vetch and from three pecks to a
bushel of rye or oats. This makes
an excellent crop for green manur-
ing. The clover and the vetch help
to give a thick bottom and the rye
and oats provide something for the
vetch to climb on.
