Important Thing That It Would Seem
Average Husband Takes a Long
Time to Learn.
I
I was extremely ignorant of worn- ;
en and their ways, and more igno- ,
rant of nerves, says a husband of
twenty-five years’ experience, in the
American Magazine. Indeed, nerves
were an item in the marriage rela
tion that I had never considered, and
it was years before the relation of
nerves to marital happiness became
known to me.
It takes the average man a long
time after marriage to realize that i
his wife is a human being, much like ’
himself, with the addition of some '
nerves, some superstitions, some
prejudices and some finer emotions
of which he knows little or nothing,
hot many men have reached the
state of marriage in as complete ■
ignorance of women as I did. I had ;
been rather bashful and shy with i
them as a boy and too busy to pay '
much attention to them as a man.
Living in cities in which I was a
stranger, I had no opportunity to
meet the nice ones and no inclina
tion to associate with the other kind. .
Being strong, healthy and normal,!
I knew nothing of nerves and had
scant patience with their various'
manifestations, ordinarily attribut
ing phenomena due to nerves to other
causes.
ANCESTRY TO BE PROUD
Forefathers of Mennonites of Pennsyl
vania Have Tilled the Soil for
a Thousand Years.
British peers boast of being the '
eighth or twelfth of their line. But
out in Lancaster county there are
men whose ancestors for thirty gen
erations have been farmers.
King George’s folks have only i
been in the kinging business about
two hundred years. That trade of j
peering, so popular abroad, is new
compared with the lineage of hus- i
bandry of which some of the Men
nonites might boast.
A thousand years of farming! No
wonder Lancaster is the garden of a
hemisphere. “Go where there is
limestone,' 1 was the motto of the
early German immigrants, and it
was noted even a century ago by an
ancestor of the Coxe family wher
ever there was limestone soil in
Pennsylvania could be heard . the ;
German language.
It was of young men of that stock
about whom the celebrated Colonel j
3'organ of Virginia said after the '
Revolution: '
“My Virginian riflemen were fine!
soldiers, but I also liked the Penn
sylvania Dutch because they starved
so well.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
QUEEN ADMIRER OF POTTERY.
The English queen is an admirer
and collector of old Wedgwood pot
tery and at Windsor castle there is
a room entirely ddvoted to this fa
mous ware, some of the finest and
rarest examples being displayed.
Wedgwood pottery, the older ex
amples of which are so much sought
after, is named after the most fa
mous potter England has ever pro
duced—Josiah Wedgwood, who died
in 1795. He produced from designs
by Flaxman, the sculptor, white
cameo reliefs on a delicate blue
ground known and envied by col
lectors all over the world as Wedg
wood ware. This ware is now very
costly and practically beyond the
means of the ordinary collector.
TEST OF STATESMANSHIP.
“Your friend is a great states
man ?”
“I’m sure of it.”
“Why?”
“He can get his own price for a
lecture, and leave the committee on
arrangements perfectly satisfied
when the gate receipts are counted.”
ONE METHOD.
Ambitious Young Man—Sir, can
you tell me a good way to pick up
a dollar?
Crusty Capitalist—Why not try
your thumb and forefinger.
A PROPER ONE.
“What decorations would you use
for the ballroom to give it a cool
look?”
“Why not use the ice plant?”
GOOD GUARANTY.
Husband—ls this butter perfectly
fresh?
Wife—The dealer told me it was
just from the crematory.
TO DESTROY CANADA THISTLE
First Step in Eradication of This
Weed Is to Prevent All Plants
From Going to Seed.
The Canada thistle is a perennial
which ranges from one to three feet
in height. The flower heads are rose
purple in color. A white feathery tuft
of hair is attached to the mature seed
which aids in its distribution. The
plant flowers from June to September,
but usually matures in July. The first
step in the eradication of this weed is
to prevent all plants from going to

Plant and the Underground System.
seed. It is often necessary to go into
grain fields with a scythe and cut this
weed out to prevent it from seeding
before the main crop is cut. Plow
the land as soon as the crop of grain
is removed. Then replow late in the
fall, leaving all roots possible exposed.
A three-year rotation of barley, clover,
corn or other cultivated crop should
be practised.
HEARD OVER THE FARM PHONE
Profitable Practise to Sell or Ship Eggs
Every Day—Pure Food Gives the
Best Flavor.
Fresh eggs are all the cry from the
folks down town these days. All
right, too. We don’t like to eat old,
stale eggs ourselves. For this and
other reasons it is a fine thing to ship
or sell every day if possible.
Down cellar is a good place to keep
the eggs if you are compelled to hold
them a few days. Fix up a little rack
with slats to lay them on so the air
may circulate about them all the time.
This will help to keep the flavor good.
There are those who claim that they
can tell what kind of food has been
given a hen to eat, just by the taste
of the egg. This is getting down to
a pretty fine point, but it is no doubt
a fact that good, clean, pure feed does
give an egg a better flavor than that
which is half spoiled, or entirely so.
You cannot blame your neighbor for
not keeping up his share of the line
fence if you do not keep up yours.
The woman who finds garden work
too exhaustive may transform it into
a healthful exercise by giving it her
time in. the early morning or twilight
hours.
It is worth while to know what your
hired man talks about when he is
alone with the boys. A good man ]
can do them a deal of good; and a
bad one —well, you had better let him
go just as quickly as you can, be
fore you lose your boy body and soul.
The average farmer makes a mis
take when he breeds trotting horses
or other breeds not adapted to his
business.
GOOD FITTING HORSE COLLAR
Excellent Remedy Is Given to Prevent
Sore Shoulders, Especially es
Young Animals.
(By R. A. GALLAHER.)
There are many ways of abusing the
horse, but one of the most cruel is
that of working a horse when its
shoulders are sore.
Sore shoulders are generally due to
the improperly fitting collars. Here
is a remedy, or rather a preventive,
that is especially recommended for
young horses, whose shoulders have
not been toughened by work; but it
will also apply to any case where a
new collar is to be “broke in.”
I urge every man, in buying a horse
collar, to get a good one of proper
size. Be sure that it is leather —not
canvas. A canvas collar or one made
of cheap, flimsy leather is bad.
Before putting a collar on for the !
first time Immerse it in water, allow
ing it to soak for several minutes.
Immediately after taking it out of
the water, put it on the horse and
hitch him up, being careful that the |
hames are carefully adjusted and
tightened.
As soon, as the horse is unhitched i
take off the collar and hang it up to ‘
dry, bottom side up. In taking the col- ■
lar off be very careful not to twist it j
out of “set.”
I would not advise working a horse >
more than an hour or two when a !
new collar la being fitted.
Successful as Breeders.
To be successful as breeders it is
necessary that we be good judges of [
dairy animals, have an ideal type in '
mind and always in our selections and
mating keep working toward our i
ideal.

No entirely effective method of con

REMEMBERS SEASON CF COLD
Uncle Onken's Mind Goes Back to Pe
j riod When the Temperature Was
Worth Recording.
“Huh!” contemptuously ejaculat
• ed Uncle Oracle Onken, during a
spell of low temperature. “You
young fellows don't know anything
about cold weather. Why, 1 remem
ber the winter of eighteen hundred
and so forth, when it was so cold
that if you flung a can of bilin’ water
out o’ doors it cracked like a gun.
Yes, sir, and a live coal would freeze
solid in five minutes. Worse than
that, your conversation actually froze
before it could be heard. I know a
stutterin’ man who talked chopped
ice, and a feller who drawled so that
his remarks froze in his throat and
had to be extracted with a corkscrew.
You had to heat your watch every
, now and then, or it would tick itself
i full of particles of ice and stop nin
nin’. Us boys used to have a great
joke. When visitors came we would
slip up and put a lot of frozen shrieks
and howls in the fireplace, and when
they thawed out they’d yell like de
i mons, and we’d have a good laugh at
i the visitors’ surprise. Aw, yes, it
was sorter cold that winter.”—Lon
don Tit-Bits.
DISLIKED THE STRAINED AIR
Colored Domestic Entitled to Some
Consideration Seeing That She
Was So Delicate.
A young housewife of suburban
New York, who had gone to some
trouble to get a colored woman serv
ant from Virginia, grew quite proud
of her new domestic after the first
month’s trial. Caroline was nearly
perfect. Yet not quite. Though the
! house was fitted with door'-'and win
| dow screens from top to bottom, the
mistress was constantly finding flies,
! bugs and the like inhabitants of the
country air on her walls and furni
ture. Caroline professed to be as
much mystified as anybody. But
one morning the mistress happened
I to come upstairs at cleaning-up time.
; There was Caroline singing and
working away, screens on balcony
doors and windows wide open. Con
fronted by her indignant mistress,
the paragon was visibly disconcerted.
1 Then her face lit up with one of
! those ear-to-ear smiles.
! “Trufe. is, Miss Martha, I can’t
j wu’k in dis here strained atmosphere,
i I always was a pow’rful delicate
j ’oman.”
Caroline weighed only 250 pounds.
WHY AUDIENCES WEEP.
A society reporter from Topeka
who attended the “Parsifal” produc
tion in Kansas City recently reports
this incident: “At the opera there
was an expensively costumed woman
and her husband. The man had not
acquainted himself with the story of
the opera, and so spent a good deal
of the time in asking questions.
Finally when Parsifal had spent
some fifteen of the forty minutes in
which he remains motionless, the be
wildered man asked: ‘What’s he do
ing now—has he forgotten his part
—what is the matter with him?’
‘Hush!’ answered the wife in a loud
whisper, ‘The Holy Grail has just
died.’ ” —Kansas City Star.
RISK PURELY NOMINAL.
“Great Scott, man!” horrifiedly
ejaculated a traveler who had stopped
at a wayside cabin for dinner. “You
should not let that little child play
with a loaded revolver! It is a ter
i rible risk, and —”
“Aw, I d’know!” calmly replied.
Mr. Gay Johnson, a foremost citizen
of Possum Trot, Ark. “I’ve got
twelve or fifteen mo’ children "round
the place some’rs.” —Kansas City
■ Star.
MISTAKEN IMPRESSION.
“When we sent you to congress
i you said you were going to make some
! speeches that would wake ’em up,”
i said the constituent.
“Everybody there went to congress
i with the same intention,” replied the
! new member. “I couldn't find any
, body asleep.”
SOMETIMES GETS IT.
Heck—Does your wife always get
: the last word?
j Peck—Not always; she talks with
i other women.
A CHEAP ONE.
“Majolica pitcher brings $655 in
sale,” read Mrs. Fan.
“Huh!” sneerud Mr. Fan. “He
i can’t be much of a player.”
