mankind is stirred or before there
can be heard melodies which will
sound through the ages and that will,
at last be merged into the transcen
dent heavenly harmonies. ,
The answer, then, to both questions
may be given in these words: The
world of the average woman is the
whole earth; and her influence wid
ens with the process of the suns and
endures throughout eternity.
MARY PETTUS THOMAS..
ENTERTAINMENT AT HOME.
“I can’t keep my children out of the
street,” declared a good, but unwise
mother. “I am strict enough with
them, heaven knows. I am always
telling them how to behave and I try
to make them study and help about
the house, but the first thing T know
they have slipped off and are in the
street or over to a neighbor’s. I don’t
see how some women manage to keep
their children at home.”
No doubt the secret of this is that
those other mothers provide enter
tainment for their children. Children
are like all other young creatures,
they want fun and they will try to
get it. A writer who certainly under
stands the child nature says: It is as
natural for them to seek an outlet for
their overflowing animal spirits as it
is for the kitten to chase your spool
and the puppy to chew everything that
comes within his reach. As nature
abhors a vacuum, so does the healthy,
normal child abhor enforced idleness.
He will study hard, work hard, and
play hard. It is the duty of parents
to furnish opportunity for this legiti
mate instinct.
Is any other work in all the world
as important as this God-given occu
pation of keeping in touch with your
children? An too soon they will be
men and women, and then you will
have time to cultivate other things
in which you are interested. Until
then, make their interests yours. Do
you not see that in doing this you
make it impossible for the children to
leave you behind, to feel that you are
a “back number”? You will broaden
and grow as they grow, and you will
never lose them.

Meanwhile, keep home bright for
them. Lay aside the latest novel you
had planned to read tonight and play
the games the children love. If you
must mend or darn in the evenings
do mis work in the parlor where you
can listen to the children’s talks, and
where you can join in the songs the
schoolboys thump out at the piano.
Your parlor may look like a “living
room” rather than a “drawing-room,”
the rugs will not always lie smooth
and books and papers will be scatter
ed about, the house may not be as
neat as is that of your childless neigh

house, for it will be the Home where
the Heart is.
HIS IDEAL WOMAN.
“Man has a number of fixed, old
fashioned notions about the ideal wo
man which are quite apart from ques
tions of complexion and dress."
“The Sober truth is that, while
men may seek diversion with the
more showy, flippant type of girl, and
are often caught by mere glitter, they
have an ideal far, far above this
cheap type, which is imperishable. A
man does not picture a Completely
limp and charcterless creature as his
soul’s ideal, nowever ‘sweet.’ Yet the
woman as she appears in his dreams
is not too clever. It is a pleasure to
him to be a little superior to his mate
—to be ‘looked up to’ —and, as the
true woman desires to ‘look up.’ it is
clear that nature’s arrangements in
these matters are not without design.
The most charming woman of all is
she WuO has the consummate wit to
seem to ‘loook up,’ when really she
stands on a level with the man who
loves her, or, perchance, a little above
him.
“One thing imperatively demanded
in the make-up of the ideal woman is
sympathy—that all-divining, all-forgiv
ing quality which makes the world
akin. Sympathy is one of the prime
factors of charm. So is humor. A
man is fearfully lonesome when his
wife cannot see his jokes. She could
hardly offer him a more deadly affront
than to laugh in the wrong place at
one of his pet stories. The ideal wom
an is religious—has the wise, sweet,

old-fashioned notions about right and
wrong. A man is quite capable of
making merry over his wife’s scruples
of conscience, but I think he would
be rather disappointed if she had no
scruples—if in his worldly way she
was guided chiefly by expedience. He
may not say many prayers himself,
but he likes to know that his children
pray at their mother’s knee. Perhaps
he sometimes reflect that the nightly
petition from innocent lips, ‘God bless
father,’ may not be quite empty of
meaning.”

How to Increase the Yield of Fruit
Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage
ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal
supply of
Virginia- Carolina
Fertilizers
The trees absorb plant foods —that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash—from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi
ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so
well recognized that “ return to the land what the tree removes if you
would expect the best results ” has become an axiom with the best
growers.
Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to
careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers.
“ I made a test with other companies’ fertilizers,” says Mr. H. O.
Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., “ and yours proved to be the best.
The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as
much as where the other two companies’ fertilizer was used.”
Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest
because of they- good qualities—give better satisfaction and quicker
results.
Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub
lished in the new 1909 Farmers’ Year Book, a copy of which will be
sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
