Managing a Husband. Men are like children; they want managing, although you must never let thorn dream that you think so. No child likes to be ordered about, no man will endure coercion. But man aging! It is an art so subtle, so elu *lve. that few women understand even the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let us reason together, says Woman’s Life. In every human being there is a spark of ttie divine; it is yours to lan that spark into a flame —that is managing a man—it is to get the very best out of him there is to have, and Dot two women in ten can do it. Do not think that there is anything unworthy in managing a man—to bring out the best is a high vocation. Only let us see to it that we are worthy of it. There are women who ha ve made angels of men, but at the cost of their own divinity. There is room for more than on - unselfish per son in a famllv.

When she finished she suf fered a sudden lapse of memory and laid the pencil away in her desk. As she stood up to excuse the class she encountered the scornful gaze of John ny’s eyes. Rising in his seat he fixed her with an accusing forefinger and uttered the single word ’’Graft!" Johnny's lather writes for a cur rent magazine.

Farmers’ Educational 7j] and Co-Operative Union of America Matters gf Especial Moment to the Progressive Agriculturist No man wins lasting success by dodging the truth. We cannot cure the sorrows of our neighbors by sympathy alone. The peculiarity of a crank is that be always thinks it is his turn. The stay-at-home usually accumu lates more money than the gadabout. It is a fine thing to be “soft heart ed” provided one is also hard headed. Good luck consists in having sense enough to keep on the job all the time. Hy the intelligent use of the grader, any dirt road may be put in proper form. By the time you have acquired wis dom, everybody looks upon you as an old fool. Gossips have automobiles beaten a block when it comes to running peo ple down. Loose business methods often get men into tight places, and break friendship. Transportation and transportation facilities are necessities in every agri cultural region. A man may often succeed in hiding his sins from others but they sleep with him o’ nights. The grass in the next pasture al ways looks better to the discontented cow and the opportunities to make money always loom large In some oth er state. The man who works himself to death commits suicide In the most painful way and dies owing a debt his estate will never be able to pay. The man who keeps his “noße on the grindstone” seldom gets rich. He may accumulate a lot of money If he lives long enough, but mere money does not mean riches In the things that make people happy. When a man worries because the weather or crops do not suit him he comes as near to throwing away his time as lie possibly can. “Worry killed a cat" they say, but it never put a dollar In the pocket of any one. SECURING SYSTEM ON FARMS. Organization of Farming Class and Co-operative Methods Will Give Farmer His Own. It Is only by organizing the farming class of people and by a co-operative move with all laboring classes from small to large enterprises, is our only relief, and a move of that kind would not be Impracticable, and It does seem to me that it would be high time for readjustment, and the progressive ele ment of the farming people of this country will take up the cause. In a way to accomplish good and substan tial results. We are divided, unor ganized, we have no way to do busi ness with the organized element, writes C. W. Junken in Co-operator. The call for the farmer’s organization is at hand, and seems very much a necessity. In order to bring about a relation that would make us more co operative and bring us to a better un derstanding with ail other enterprises, such as manufacturers and the rail road enterprises. We as a farming and laboring class are producing the wealth of the coun try and no debt can be paid unless the wealth of the debt had been pro duced some way, either on the farm or out of the mine. It Is plain to me we are the first owners of all luxuries of life, and must produce sufficient to keep all other enterprises moving and prosperous. Now why are we deprived of our most necessary of privileges, such as making our homes comfortable and having time to send our children to school in the country? It Is simply for the lack of organizing and taking more interest to get relief. We furnish the freight to the rail road, we furnish the material for bread and clothing, now why not have a way to become Independent and get a system on foot to live at home? Let us produce what we need at home for a living, and grind our flour for bread, and manufacture our own cloth out of our own raw material in our own mills, and keep out of debt, and thereby become able to have a system on the farm that would en able us to demand a living profit on our surplus products that some other country must have or can’t produce. The farmer should carefully take into consideration who is depending on his welfare. The merchant, the bank er. the railroad and every other en terprise is depending on the prosper ity of production of agriculture and mining. Let this wealth-producing business cease, and you have clogged the wheel that circulates and moves the business of the world. Let us have a system on the farm is my desire. Grain for Breeding Ewes. Breeding ewes should have a little grain, but not enough to make them fat. Ground wheat and com are given for fattening lambs, two pints of wheat and one of corn. The sheep that go into winter in poor condition are under a disadvantage all through the cold weather. ADVANCE MONEY ON COTTON Texas Commissioner of Insurance and Banking Makes Ruling of Much Importance to Farmers. | The commissioner of insurance and banking of the state of Texas recently made a ruling on advancing money for the handling of the cotton crop, which Is of great Importance to all classes of people of that state, especially the farmers. It is as follows: The farmers being interested along j with all other classes of citizens of the | state, the ruling of the commissioner of Insurance and banking who has again notified all state banks of the ruling made last year relative to hand ling the cotton crop which is now coming on the market, will be of im portance to them at this time. The com missioner is sending out the follow ing: “Section 69 of the state banking ! laws, digest of 1909, reads as fol lows: ” ‘All state banks and trust com panies shall be permitted to loan or discount commercial or business paper secured by lien upon cotton and cotton seed products to the same extent and upon the same conditions as is now or may be provided for national banks under the laws of the United States.’ "In a letter to a state banker mak ing Inquiry upon the subject, the com missioner of insurance and banking ruled that, in view of this provision of the new law, which became effective August 9, 1909, state banks and trust companies may make advances to any one person, firm or corporation upon the security of cotton and cotton seed products in excess of 25 per cent, of the capital stock of the bank or trust company In either of the following ways: “1. A bank or trust company may dlsount or cash drafts drawn by the seller of cotton or cotton seed prod ucts on the purchasers thereof for the purchase price, such drafts having at tached thereto bills of lading of ware house receipts for the commodity pur chased. These drafts may be carried in this way during the time the com modity is being compressed, or assem bled or stored for shipment, or until It Is sold a second time and the or iginal buyer has authority to draw an other draft against the new purchaser. This second draft may then be carried by the bank or trust company in lieu of the first draft Issued until paid by the purchaser and the transaction closed. Advances made in this way must be by the discount of drafts drawn by a seller against a buyer. ”2. A bank or trust aompany may also discount notes given by the pur chaser of cotton and cotton seed prod ucts to the seller for the purchase price thereof; that is, a buyer desiring to se cure an advance In excess of the loan limit to be used in purchasing cotton or cotton seed products may give his notes in payment for the commodities to the persons from whom they are pur chased, and such notes may be dis counted for the sellers, when endorsed by them and accompanied by ware house receipts assigned to the bank or trust company. "This ruling Is based upon a letter received from the comptroller of cur rency construing the national banking law bearing on the subject, and all the state banks and trust companies have been notified of the ruling by cir cular letter.” CORN IN SOUTHERN STATES. Increase of 1,535,000 Acres in Eight States Over Area Devoted to Cereal in 1909. In this ripe year of 1910 there is growing a corn crop of 26,277,000 acres in the eight Southern states of Virginia, the Carolinas. Georgia, Ken tucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mis sissippi, which is an increase of 1,535,000 acres over the area devoted to'that cereal in that territory in 1909. This is an encouraging sign, and if persisted in and the system of in tensive culture shall be adopted gen erally, as it is particularly in the states named, the cost of living will be materially reduced —if the people are strong enough to take by the throat monopoly and force it to put up with a reasonable profit, says Washington Post. The South is as good a corn coun try as the West. The greatest yield per acre of that grain ever recorded was grown on a South Carolina farm, and it is an established fact that last year Farmer Batts, a young man of 30, tilling the soil within 13 miles of Raleigh. N. C., gathered a crop of corn the yield of which was the enor mous quantity of 225 bushels per acre, whereas the average of the country over is only 26 bushels. This story of the yield on Mr. Batts' plantation would be incredible If it were not established by testimony above chal lenge. Care in Gathering Fruit. Fruit should be gathered with the same care that melons are plucked from the vines. Leave all unripe fruit to be gathered later, even if this does necessitate going over the tree again. This will cause the late crop to in crease in size and flavor. Prevention of Rickets. Stop feeding corn to pregnant and nursing sows and to young pigs and there will be little. If any, trouble from this form of paralysis, which is associated with rickets. It comes from overfeeding heating and fattening foods, and giving too little bone-build-, ing material. ONLY COOL PLACE. Through the sultry summer night there came mysterious sounds from the direction of the kitchen. "George,” whispered Mrs. MacDou gal, nervously, “there —there is a bur glar in the Ice box." Still George snored. "George! Do you hear? Wake up! There is a burglar downstairs in the ice box.” George brushed imaginary cobwebs from bis eyes. "Burglar in the ice box,” he mur mured. thickly. "Thermometer pop ping out of tube and burglar In ice box. Lucky dog!” And then George expressed himself with an old-fashioned yawn and turned over for another nap. Wisdom of a Maid.

I went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I noticed that I did not get any relief that way, I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there, I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost crazy with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened. I did not know what to do. I was so sick and had be come so nervous that I positively lost all hope. “I had seen the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies a great many times, but could not make up my mind to buy them, for I had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you that I was never so pleased as when I noticed that, after having used two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en tire inflammation had gone. I was completely cured. I should be only too glad If people with similar disease would come to me and find out the truth. I would only recommend them to use Ci’ticura.
