For the sake of having small feet
many and otherwise sensible woman
will martyrize herself by pinching
those unlucky members Of the body
into boots Of a size too small. AS a
natural and necessary result of such
pinching confinement, the foot be-
comes deformed and larger than it
would naturally grow, with large
joints and toes turned from line
parallel with the foot, to say nothing
of the troublesome corns SO annoy
ing and crippling to large class Of
young women. The worst results Of
this crippling custom of wearing
small and narrow boots is felt by
children when allowed TO outgrow
their boots. 1t is poor economy to
allow the young to wear boots when
the feet have become too large for
them, since deformity of the feet is
easily produced at this time When
the boot is too short and the heel too
high, the ingrowing Of the nails is a
perfectly natural result. Children
will have sufficient Ills to contend
with without this crippling from de-
formed feet, the most prominent
cause of which is small and badly
fitting boots and shoes.

Whenever either employer or en-
plOyed fOrgets that there is community
of interest between the two, both are
sufferers. This is true of all kinds of
business in which the two classes come
in contact. The employer who has no
other interest in his help than to get out
of them all that their strength will per-
NIT to do, will soon find that his en-
plOyes viii become equally as selfish,
and that not only the least possible
amount of labor that viii prevent their
discharge will be done, but that what is
done will be imperfectly performed,
and the employe who has no interest
than to get his money is detriment to
any man who employs him. In some
establishments, and on some farms, a
stranger would be unable to tell, from
the language or actions of the help, that
they were employers. Whenever they
speak of the affairs of their employer,
they don't speak of them as if he was
wholly responsible, and that they had
no responsibility whatever, but their
language conveys the idea that they feel
their own responsibility, and that the
success or failure of the business Is
matter of anxiety to them and their
actions accord with their words. One
out Of ten employers greatly appreciates
such a manifestation of interest, and 1t
really seems to tighten the burden which
always necessarily rests upon business
man. If an employe has such an in
terest in the affairs of his employer,
there is no mistaking it. 1t Will show
| itself on every conceivable occasion /;
and if he has been so unfortunate as to
| find a man who does not appreciate his
merits, they will not long go unre-
Warded, for others will see them, and be
| glad to avail themselves of them.


| 1t is, no doubt, the case with human


nature, that it is selfish in all of its re-
lations of life, and perhaps the great
majority of men are too apt to slight
their duties, instead of doing everything
upon hSnOr, and performing services for
others as they would perform the same
service for themselves; but there are
men, and a great many of them, who
are strictly conscientious in the per
formance of their duties as employees
and it is such men who will always win.

INSECTS ON SToCK.-Lard and kerosene

mixed with salt is good to drive ticks from
sheep. Calves, like all animals, should be
kept growing from youth to maturity.
Here is one place where the profit comes
in. There is always loss of time and
feed, and more, too, by allowing young
animals to "stand still' for six months or
more Of the year. Sheep are well clothed
and need shelter from the snow or rain,
and perhaps from the strongest winds, but
cold agrees with them. Feed them well !;
give them plenty of water, in small fiocks,
keep them dry, and they may stay out in

peculiar properties of the seeds impart a
