SEARCHING FOR OUR LOVE.
O my rapt soul! if thou hadst power
To choose all blessings earth can give,
Is there a better, richer dower
Than for her tenderness to live?
Come, give the heart the sweet surprise
Though 'twere but for a single day.
When young men and women begin
to make unpleasant remarks about not
the right way was only gone about, as
Providence intends.
In the first place, they must not
Start in to think that romances spring
up from flirtations, coquetry and a
liking from the first devotee that
crosses one's path. If the dissatisfied
could only get away from this unrea
sonable belief, half the way would be
clear to search and find the one love
that is pleasing and to whom the
heart goes out to for a certainty.
“I am not quite sure whether I love
him or if he truly loves me,” is sel
dom on the lips if the hearts are in
unison, the right chord touched. More
than one secret wish is: The one
great boon from heaven I crave is
just a portion of true love of my own.
Give me that devotedly and life would
be roseate and complete with happi
ness. Is there any chance of this de
votion being fulfilled? is the oft-re
peated query.
Few stand in need of the answer
if the thinking cap is put on. If a
heart would go out to you with won
derful lasting love, search must be
made from where it is possible to win
one. Forget the little crosses that
you have had; hope for brightness
and that which can bring it to cross
your lonely lot. No matter where
you have an opportunity to go, start
with a pleasant look on your face,
light footstep and seek to become ac
quainted with the good young people
who are there to welcome you. You
will have a pleasant hour or two,
and many times after you may see
the bright faces which beamed into
your own while friendship and love
won the day at last.
Make a promise and keep it, that
you will keep devotion’s flame bright
for all time.
Let me give the girls a timely hint
that earnestly want to marry well:
Don’t take up with a gay, debonair
free lance whom you innocently
thought to be just the opposite. You
will soon find out his tendencies, and,
shorter than it takes to tell it, let
him slip past you and persevere pa
tiently in searching out a newer, dif
ferent type of attraction. The secret
is plain. The man who makes a girl's
acquaintance while being a stranger
to her home folks and hiding the past
from those who introduce him, sup
posing that he is all right, never
should make that girl his wife with
out undeceiving her as to his wild
cats sowing. She knows then wheth
er she could put confidence in him
in the future or whether he would be
apt to lead her a pretty dance and
untold heart grief if she took the
chance of wedding him.
Women who will take their own
risks and believe that they can over
come any obstacle after marriage,
start, after leaving the altar, handi
capped. Different might have been
fate had they not been easily satis
fied but taken time to have searched
for a love that they were convinced
was worthy of their own.
SHE WHO IS A PENITENT DE
CEIVER
In the year that's come and gone, in the
golden weather,
Sweet, my sweet, we swore to keep the
watch of life together.
In the year that’s coming on, rich In joy
and sorrow—
We shall light our lamp and wait life's
mysterious tomorrow.
Ought a girl, in your opinion, to de
ceive her mother, much as she may
dislike doing so, by evading telling
her the truth regarding her meeting
a lover? Do you suppose such arti
fice on her part would make an inter
ested one consider that she would
make a good wife, loving and true,
or would she be liable to deceive a
husband?
This is an earnest appeal from a
young man reader. I have no doubt
that a young man looking for a girl
whom he would marry would want
one who loved, honored and was in
full confidence with her parent. There
should be no excuse of any kind which
will palliate the wrongs of a girl de
ceiving her parent. The true-hearted,
trank girl has no secrets which she
does not' share. If that mother, who
has her Interest at heart, does not
approve of the man of her choice, be
lieve me, she knows best.
She sets at work very patiently to
win her daughter over to seeing him
as she knows him to be. At last she
tries hard to consider that it is for the
best of her to try to view him as fa
vorable as she can. This is often
done to keep peace in the family.
The result often follows that they
marry in haste and repent at leisure.
The girl who is good, affectionate
and truthful to her parent will be the
same to a husband who is fortunate
enough to win her. Love which is
built upon deceit is built upon the
quicksands—and is too treacherous to
last for a long length of time.
Only honorable, truthful love proves
happy and enduring. What man can
trust absolutely the woman whom he
knows is false to the mother who
loves her, has faith in her and con
fides in her, hoping for good results?
The habit of decbit is a fearful one,
and leads to many a woman’s undoing.
One of the poets has said and with
much truth:
Oh, what a tangled web we weave—
When first we practice to deceive.
It must not be forgotten, however,
that the lover who seeks advice is
sometimes the very one who tempts
the girl to meet him and "not tell
mother.” A man should be honorable
in principle, and not lend himself to
such subterfuge as that of deceiving.
Rest assured, he would be apt to hear
of it accusingly after marriage, and
to be reproached for his guilt.
It is cowardly to shift all the blame
on the woman. Often she is penitent,
and makes up for deceiving by becom
ing most truthful. The sweetheart
was inclined to deception by her lov
er. He respects her penitence, howev
er, as does her mother. Both have
been taught that it is grand to be
candid with mother.
WHEN BACHELORS MARRY.
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers, ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore.
To one thing constant—never.
I used to be under the impression
that very few bachelors would ever
marry. But in this respect I have
changed my mind. It is my belief that
there never yet was a man so sure
of his powers for unloving who lived
all of his years without some ro
mance.
He may never have had proof that
he had a heart for someone until he
was aroused to the consciousness by
its sudden loss. Up to that hour of
awakening he supposed he was en
joying his solitary existence immense
ly. There is no one to call his atten
tion to his careless appearance when
he hustles to his breakfast with collar
and necktie on he had worn for days.
No one he would have to answer to
if she was in a quarrelsome mood and
accused him of plunging at races, ex
travagance in automobile treats,
whirling through space in airships,
and all that she fancied kept pace
with his restless nature.
The jolly bachelor is not a mystery
to those who observe him, yet only
know him from afar —a puzzle as they
imagine him to be. More than one
suspects that his heart has been
pretty well pierced by love's flaming
arrows. Like a public conveyance,
there is always supposed to be room
for one more. Bachelors have been
known to call and have a friendly lit
tle chat with former sweethearts once
in a great while, but he don’t care to
marry any of those who struck his
fancy so that he was almost sure he
would be happy if he popped the ques
tion.
After breaking off with a few who
claimed his steady attention, he feels
that he is not half the gay, sought
after man, the would-be “catch” of the
fair sex, that he thought himself to
be. His opinion of himself has gone
down. He takes extra precaution not
to show his heart wounds to the un
feeling world. He is sure to be,
watched with pardonable curiosity
when he is brought in contact with
the single of the fair sex. Habit is
everything with the bachelor; from
being a free lance, angled for by fair
women. More than one pretty parlor
he has found irksome, tame, com
pared to club, theater of men’s
company. Most all bachelors have
their pet theories and mental pic
tures. Friends and old sweethearts
do not always cater to them
It is often, when he comes across
some poor, but honest, village or city
young woman, that his heart sudden
ly warms. She is his personification
of innocence. She treats all men sim
ply, with pleasantness. It’s hard for
them to tell if she is given to par
tiality toward every newcomer. Her
eyes are not like those who seek con
quests, but have the bewitching un
consciousness of girlhood.
Is it any wonder that bachelors be
come good husbands when they meet
just the one whom their hearts have
craved for? Then they jump to the
conclusion that it's good-by single life,
forever.
Worthy of Thanks.
A night’s sleep, what a miracle of
mercy it is; and a new day and the

COST OF LIVE STOCK RATION IMPORTANT
f ' V:
Anwlck Arthur, Shire Stallion Foaled 1908.
(By W. A. HENRY and F. B. MORRI
SON, University of Wisconsin.)
The most important factor of all,
for the farmer who must depend on
the profits from his stock for his in
come, is the cost of the ration. In se
curing a ration which provides the
nutrients called for by the standards
and meets the other conditions pre
viously discussed, lies a great oppor
tunity for exercising foresight and
business judgment on every farm
where animals are fed. The wise
farmer-feeder will consider the nutri
ent requirements of his animals in
planning his crop rotations. Through
the use of grain from corn or the
sorghums, legume hay and such cheap
succulence as silage from corn or'the
sorghums, it is possible in most sec
tions of the country to go far toward
solving the problem of providing a
well-balanced, economical ration.
The feeds selected for any animal
should be such that they will not in
jure its health or the quality of the
product yielded. Feeds which are
suited to one class of farm animals
may not be adapted to others. Again,
a given feed may give satisfactory re
sults when combined with certain
other feeds, yet in other combina
tions it may prove unsatisfactory. A
few examples of such conditions are
furnished in the following: Cotton
seed meal in moderate amount is an
excellent feed for cattle, sheep, and
horses, yet it is so frequently poison
ous to pigs that feeding the meal, as
at present prepared, to these animals
cannot be advised. While there is
always danger from using feeds dam-
QUALIFICATIONS OF
HENS FOR BREEDING
Foundation of Success in Poultry
Keeping Is Ability to Rear
Vigorous Chicks.
A most pernicious idea appears to
be gaining ground in regard to the
qualifications of a hen for breeding.
The number of eggs she will lay is
apparently the only passport to the
breeding pen, regardless of develop
ment or constitution. By all means let
us have the prolific hens for this pur
pose, but let us see to it that they are
otherwise qualified.
The foundation of success in poul
try keeping is ability to hatch and
rear strong, virile chickens, and
these can only result from strong,
well-developed and well-cared-for par
ents. This also applies to the subse
'quent egg production. Therefore it
follows that if a hen is weedy and run
down she is not a fit subject for
breeding, no matter how many eggs
she has laid. But it does not follow
that a good layer should be discard
ed as a breeder. That would be go
ing to the other extreme, but what
should be insisted upon is bodily de
velopment of sufficient proportions
and strength to indicate a breeder of
robust stock.
INTERESTING HINTS
ON CALF BREEDING
Heavier Calves Produced From
Cows in Their Prime, Accord
ing to English Test.
From careful records taken of 19
Shorthorn cows it was found by an
English agricultural society that the
average gestation periods of cows
bearing bull calves was 288.91 days;
of cows bearing heifer calves 283.75
days. The longest period in the
former was 297 days, and the short
est period 280 days; in the latter 293
and 274. The average weight of the
bull calves was 89.45 pounds; that of
the heifer 82.5 pounds. It was found
that the longer the period the heavier
the calf in each case.
It was noted that the heavier calves
are produced from cows in their
prime; that is, ranging from five to
seven years of age; after that age the
calves appear to become smaller at
birth. It is thought safe to take an
average of 285 days as the period of
gestation and 84 pounds as the av
erage weight of a Shorthorn calf at
aged by mold, such material may
often be eaten by cattle when it would
poison horses or sheep. Timothy hay,
which is the standard roughage for
the horse, is unsatisfactory for the
dairy cow, and may cause serious
trouble with sheep on account of its
constipating effect.
Feeding cows a heavy allowance
of ground and soy beans produces un
duly soft nutter, while an excess of
cocoanut meal makes the butter too
hard. Peanuts and soy beans produce
soft lard when forming too large a
part of the ration of fattening pigs.
It is often highly beneficial, to add
wheat bran or linseed meal to the
ration on account of their slightly
laxative effect. On the other hand,
when animals are already receiving
such laxative feeds as silage, pasture
grass, and legume hay, the use of
bran or linseed meal may be unwise.
With the horse and with young
ruminants the ration must contain
some roughage to distend the diges
tive tract properly. Furthermore, for
the best results the proportion of con
centrates and roughage in the ration
should be regulated according to the
kind and class of animal to be fed
and the results sought. Cattle, sheep,
and horses can be wintered satisfac
torily on roughages alone, if of suit
able quality. Even brood sows may
be maintained chiefly on legume hay,
when not suckling their young. In
the rations for growing and fattening
animals and those at work or in milk,
a considerable part of the ration
should consist of concentrates.
TESTS OF COST OF
MILmODUCTION
Study Made by Cornell (N. Y.)
Experiment Station With
834 Cows in 53 Herds.
From a study made by the Cornell
(N. Y.) experiment station of the
costs incident to milk production for
834 dairy cows with full year’s records
in 53 dairy herds in Jefferson county,
N. Y„ it was found that 7 of the 53
herds, comprising 97 cows, were kept
at a loss of $1,335.71.
On the basis of net cost and actual
receipts, 161 cows, or 19 per cent of
the total number, caused a loss to
their owners of $1,799.87, or sll,lß per
cow. The average production was
6,621 pounds of milk and 241 pounds
of milk fat. The milk was produced
at a net cost of 1.21 cents, and the
milk fat at 33.3 cents per pound.
The average selling price of the
milk was 1.52 cents per pound, and
the net profit per cow was $20.39. The
net cost per cow was $80.24 and the
receipts were $100.63. The average
cost of feed per cow was $51.57 and
the labor cost $23.12. The average
cost of delivering 100 pounds of milk
2.14 miles was 11.7 cents. The profit
from cows yielding 10,000 pounds of
milk a year was 51 per cent greater
than from those yielding 6,000 pounds.
COVERED SHED FOR
STOCK GAINS FAVOR
To Obtain Best Results Cement
Floor Should Be Provided-
Shelter for Animals.
One of the most popular methods of
caring for manure is the covered
shed. To obtain the best results the
shed should be provided with a ce
ment floor inclined at each end to
allow a spreader to be run in at one
end and out at the other; the sides
should be sufficiently high to contain
all the manure to be stored.
The manure should be placed evenly
over the floor, and that from horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs mixed to pre
vent, as far as possible, aerobic fer
mentation, and consequent loss of ni
trogen. The cattle in the yard should
be allowed to trample over it and it
may be worked over by the hogs with
out much danger of loss.
In addition to being a storehouse
for manure, the shed furnishes a shel
ter for farm animals which will com
pact the manure so that the aerobic
fermentation responsible for the loss
of nitrogen will be largely prevented.
Ancients Used Gas Warfare.
The earliest use of deleterious gases
in siege warfare is recorded in the
history of the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 404 B. C. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sul
phur was set on Are and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task of the attacking
forces less difficult.

Down in the crimson clover zone
there were two farmers named Jones
and Smith, respectively. Jones was
old-fashioned and stuck to old-fash

modern, bought a fine new automo
bile. One day he was proudly exhib

came along.
"Um,” remarked Jones, as he
thoughtfully sized up the handsome
machine. “What’s that thing there

When Nature Hints About the Food.
When there’s no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn’t seem to do

food isn’t the kind required.
"For a number of years I followed
railroad work, much of it being office

before another meal, no matter how
much I had eaten.
“Then I commenced a trial of Grape-
Nuts food, and was surprised how a

Salmon Thrive in Maine.
Success has been met by the bu
reau of fisheries in establishing hump
back salmon on the Maine coast, ac
cording to reports from that terri
tory. The fish were planted in Febru
ary, 1914. Many fish weighing five
to seven and a half pounds have been
taken or seen in Penobscot river, Me.,
and twenty were captured alive by
agents of the bureau near Bangor and
held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs.
From two of these fish 3,000 eggs were
taken September 6, and, after fertili
zation, sent to the Craig Brook hatch
ery for incubation. Local fishermen
caught and ate large numbers, and an
employee of the Green Lake hatchery
took fifteen fish last week. These had
passed through the fishways in dams
in Dennys river and were dropping
_ down stream in a spent condition; at
the same time both live and dead fish
were observed below the dams.
