Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.,
Pouring Own Milk.

ME WISE anu OGcCA Ndllt AIObliCL
discovers many things through
experience with her family
4 which are similar to the find
ings of authorities on child care,
representing research and experience
with numberless children. One of the
things observant mothers learn is that
children are influenced in the right di-
rection by tactful rather than forceful
means. We have to admit that chill
dren do not always want to do what
we want them to, even if our requests
are perfectly reasonable ones.
Suppose, for instance, 1t is a ques-
ton of a child's drinking his milk. The
mother has no doubt that the child
needs his milk, but the problem is to
get him to accept it.
The forceful mother meets opposition
with force. She sets her teeth grimly
and says, You will drink your milkl"
The observant mother does some
thing else. But let Mrs. B. K. tell her
own story: Although have never met
you, writing to you is like writing to an
old friend-you have helped me SO
often. Here is a method that encour-
aged my three-year-old to drink his
milk. One of his little playmates had
an aluminium tea set, and I noticed
that when playing they enjoyed pour
ing water from. the teapot into the
cups. I borrowed the set and put it
on my boys tray with his empty cup,
and the teapot full of milk. He adores
pouring 1t and drinks his milk to the
last drop, even peering eagerly inside
the pot when it is all gone, and look
ing Tor more. Instead Of having to be
reminded to drink his milk, he now
asks me for more"

Bowser wagged his tail, slowly rose
to his feet and trottted along at the
heels of his master They passed the
open shed. What if they should come
IN? Bobby shrank back and held his
breath. They went on. Presently
they reached the barn and entered,
leaving the door ajar. Bobby poked
his head out. The Black Shadows
were beginning to steal across the
dooryard. Bobby hurried across the
dooryard to the old stone wall along
one side of the Old Orchard and dis
appeared. among the bushes there. He
limped only a little. That injured leg
really didn't bother him at ALL
Once, just as he reached the old
stone wall. he looked back. mo one

ct guess there will be a happy time
over in the old hollow tree in the
Green Forest tonight" said he to
Bowser the Hound. Bowser wagged his
tail.
There was happy time in the hol-
low tree. Mrs. Coon was Just setting
olit to pay another visit to Bobby in
his cage. She was halr way down the
tree when she heard a rustling Of
leaves and knew that some one was
coming She stopped. In moment
familiar form stepped out into the
moonlight and then made straight for
that tree In her surprise she almost
lost her hold. 1t was Bobby himself.
But all she said was II hope that
now you are ready to go to Sleep"
"I am replied Bobby, and a little
later they were snugly curled up in that
hollow tree, the happiest people in all
the Green Forest.

last mint Of the eleventh hour. So that
seems to indicate hereditty too, hee hee,

ever unmelted, each year growing
thicker. The whole fresh water system
of the earth would in q few years be-
come choked with it, and no plumber
could ever fix it. Life on earth would
soon freeze up permanently.
Now what seems miraculous to me Is
that this popularity, so essential to our
existence, was given to water instead
of some other common mixture or ele-
ment, 1t might have been true of ether
or mercury or gasoline or chlorine or
some other mixture of the elements
that is of little use to human and
other forms Of life. Or TO some rare
element. AS it was it is the property
of the commonest and most important

~ OBBY COON was more restless
- than usual Farmer Browns
N Boy. noticed it the instant he
~ entered the shed where Bobby
was kept Bobby was pacing
back and forth, back and forth in his
cage, limping a little but seeming not
to mind this at all. Now and then ne
stopped to gaze off toward the Green
Forest, the edge of which he could see
from where his cage was placed, ana
in his eyes was a look of longing and
wistfulness that Farmer Browns Boy
couldn't fail to see.
Here's your breakfast, Bobby" said
he, putting IN the cage a dish heaped
with things that Bobby likes.
Bobby merely touched the dish with
his nose and then began pacing back
and forth again. AS plainly as If he
had spoken, he said: I'm not hungry.
1t isn't food, want. No, sir, it isn't
food T@want"'
And Farmer Browns Boy understood
that lack Of appetite and that uneasy
pacing and that yearning, faraway
look. II know, Bobby. know" said
he gently. ,"You are longing for that
hollow tree in the Green Forest, for
home and freedom. You would have
had 1t long ago il that leg had been
well enough. Just let me have look
at that leg"
After this Bobby was left to himself
and he continued to pace back and
forth, back and forth. How he did
long to get out Of that cage! Late in
the afternoon Farmer Browns Boy
came to the shed and talked to Bobby
for a few, minutes; I fear Bobby didn't
pay much attention. That isn't to
be wondered at because, of course, he
couldn't understand what was being
said. Could he have understood, well.
perhaps he wouldn't have kept up that
uneasy pacing and perhaps he would
have paced faster than ever.
Finally Farmer Browns Boy left.
1t wasn't until at least five minutes
later that Bobby made discovery.

Bobby became his clever, cautious

DOLLAR WHEAT HOLDING PLAN
BEING SIGNED in TWO COUNTIES

Here are the argument and the terms put up by the leaders sign
ing the farmers to hold their wheat. The original plan, started in
North Dakota, specified the Winnipeg price plus the AZ cent trahf
and less freight and other shipping charges.
The leaflets being circulated say:
This present period of low prices has brought IS finally to the
position where it is either sink Or swim. Now let is get together
and put a fair price on on product. We will set the price, and we
will hold u wheat until we get our price.
We will organize by township the farmers and residents in each
township sign he agreement and keep same in the office of their
township board. The farmers in each township will check up o n their
neghbors and see that they hold their wheat until there is a demand
for it at the set price, and then we will sell only 10 per cent of
system. Anyone interested and applying to

and enclosing stamped and addressed envelope, will receive copies
of our agreement which they a have signed up in their township
and then send a card or report back to Dollar Wheat giving the
number of signers.
Each farmer is asked to call a meeting in his township and organ
ize it and help the next township Here are some questions and
answers:
How about seed loan payment? Give them wheat at the set price,
because at the present price it wouldn't pay the seed loan anyhow,
and undoubtedly the government will wait
Threshing lien and labor. Give the thresher a lien and cooperate
with him in paying the labor.
Taxes. Officials will wait, and our penalties will be well taken
care of when we get our 81 90 per bushel
Tariff on foreign wheat. We ae supposed to have AZ cents per
busheL which should take care of that. We intend to get better pro
lection as soon a s re get enough pressure to apply for it.
1t is every farmers duty to get behind this movement and work
to spread it fast. Don't wait for the other fellow to do it.

GOOD WORK With
GOPHER POISON

(From County Agent Warden)
Figures compiled at the county
agents office show that more goph-
er poison was used in the 1882 sea-
son than for several years past.
| Gophers were either more desruct-
i've or desire to control was more
universal.
Dealers who handle the county
mixed poison, report the sale of
$50 bags having a gross weight of
more than 5 tons. In addition to
this amount of poison, more than
a ton was mixed for Isl on the
Frye Farm near Poplar. A number
of farmers mixed their own, and
many purchased poison in adjoin-
ing counties. 1t is estimated that
more than eight tons of poisoned
oats were used to combat the goph-
er in Roosevelt county.
The Froid Farmers Elevator re-
port the largest distribution with
256 sacks handled during the past
eason Poplar and Wolf Point
dealers each report selling 100
sacks.
Poison users in general have re-
ported excellent results from the
county mixed poison, several stat
ing that they have found from so
to 200 dead gophers after putting
out a single sack. No reports that
the poison fails to kill have been
made.
Consistent with the policy of
maintaining the Gopher poison
fund on a self supporting basis,
without piling up a surplus, larger
bags have been used during the
past year. AS the price of supplies
fluctuate the size of bag increases
or decreases. With cheaper oats,
strychnine and other supplies as
a prospect for next Las it is be-
lieved still more can be delivered
for the standard price of n dol
lar.
