DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE
Gilbert Frankau Believes the Young
Woman Of Today 10 Not Capable
Of Seif-Sacrifiee.

as she circles the ballroom. She
dances emotionally. but her emotions
are for the rhythm and the music. not
for the mere male, her partner. Even
In a mans arms she Is as nearly sex
less as the ladies' of the Lysistrata.
Gilbert Frankau writes In the Forum.
Regarding her thus, one cannot help
answering the question which stands
at the head of this article In the most
emphatic negative. No! Give her all
her good qualities, her poise, her eff
ficiency. her intelligence and you will
still be forced to admit that--judging
her superliclaIly-the modern girl Is
not capable of great and enduring
love- To begin with. she is too selfish.
too self-centered, too set on the pur-
suit o. what she considers pleasure,
to abandon herself TO that self-sacri.
flee which Is love at Its best. And
then. perhaps. she is too wise.

after all. ls-however much senti-
mental, middle-aged fogeys like my
self may like to regard IL as a pure
love Affairs legal undertaking. And
] think that 1t is high time for the
young man of today to understand
that his legal undertaking when he
marries self-supporting or an indie
pendent young woman is not confined
purely and simply TO housing her. The
modern woman. you see, Is something
more than a mere domesticated pet.
She requires her ielsures. her pleas
ures and. more perhaps even than
these. her full partnership rights.

CATCH SHEEP IN RIGHT WAY
Much Suffering Could Be Prevented
by Little More Intelligent and
Careful Handling.

Much of the suffering withstood by
sheep might be avoided by little
more careful and intelligent handling
Many an ignorant fiockowner, catches
a sheep by the wool. at any place he
can get hold of handlest. They do not
realize that the skin Is very lightly
attached to the flesh and that by hold
ing the sheep In this careless manner.
the skin Is torn loose from the flesh
thus bruising the Innocent sheep. 1t
Is claimed by some authorities that 1t
takes the sheep two months to recov-
er from the bruise thus incurred. The
proper way to catch n sheep Is by the
flank, and thus no injury is inflicted
on the sheep. Even very large
strong sheep will soon give up and
stand stiil when caught in this way.

SUPERIOR CROPS FOR SWINE
Alfalfa, Clover and Dwarf Essex Rape
Are Most satisfaetory-con
10 Important.

Without doubt the most satisfactory
crops for pigs are alfalfa, clover and
Dwarf Essex rape. In many sections
1t Is Improbable to attempt to estab-
fish alfalfa. Dwarf Essex rape. how
ever, in combination with the clovers,
can be seeded successfully on almost
any type. of soil and will yield an
abundance OF green forage. Usually
on land that Is productive and well
drained, one can calculate on main
tanning a ton OF live weight in hogs
per acre. This means that 20 hogs
weighing 100 pounds each can forage
on an acre of feed Of this chara cter.
provided they are fed as much as pa
pounds of corn per day for each 100
pounds of live weight.

FAVOR COOPERATIVE
MARKET DEPARTMENTS
Assistance of National Govern
ment Agencies Sought in
Handling Dairy Products.

The following resolution asking for
assistance from national government
agencies In stimulating the co-opera-
tive marketing movement and for the
establishment of cooperative market
Ing departments In educational insti-
tutions has been sent to II. G. Wallace.
Secretary of Agriculture, by Secretary
4. b. Heaton, for the Farmers Dairy
Marketing Committee of Eleven:
There Is n great need Of more or
derby and more economic methods Of
marketing dairy products.
ION account of the perishability Of
dairy products and the great import
ance OF high quality, the need of i'm
proved marketing through cooperation
Is OF especial Importance in the dairy
industry.
There is great need for men
trained and qualified to lead this I'M
proved and more economic method of
dairy marketing.
"Our various educational institutions
arc now teaching and giving valuable
aid In such subjects as financing bank
Ing, commerce and different phases of
production.
Therefore. the national Committee
Of Eleven urgently asks that our vari
Gus educational institutions. especially
our agricultural colleges. establish CO
operative marketing departments man
aged by capable men; extend thelI
investigational work on economic
marketing and distribution Of food
products; and institute college courses
In cooperative marketing.
I'VE also ask that the various agen
cles-of our national government assist
in the cooperative marketing move
ment with view of obtaining better
quality of product, reducing the prizes
to the consumer and enabling tn,
farmers to secure a larger portion o.
the consumers dollar"

STRIVING FOR WINTER EGGS
Room, Warmth, Ventilation and Light
Are Among Most Essential Fac
tors With Hens.

The Missouri poultry house original

A S0-inch wire-covered opening. one
foot from the floor and extending from

distance and never back to the roosts
which are on the north side. There
Is gradual movement Of the air from
the inside out thus insuring an abun-
dance Of ventilation without draftA
The straw loft IL another distinctive
feature. Joists or collar beams are
placed In the house just high enough
to afford head room. In order to pre-
vent the birds from roosting on these,
they are covered with inch boards four
inches wide. placed two inches apart.
This forms loft which IL 6lled with
straw. The straw acts as a sort Of
sponge by absorbing both dampness
and heat and helps to keep the house
drier and warmer In winter and cooler
In summer.

and several million tablets are now
needed annually to supply the demand.

them only when the humidity and tenn.

impossible to keep up with the de-

DECREASE IN FLOW OF MILK
Absence of Succulent Feed and Chilly
Winds Of Winter Are Chiefly
Responsible.

The tendency on the part of the
dairy COW TO give a decreased flow of
milk when cold weather approaches Is
due TO natural causes. Absence of
succulent feed, together with exposure
to chilly winds, are often responsible

management of the dairy herd calls
for rutlons of succulent feed, together
