Newspaper Page TextWHERE BEAUX WILL GO. Sun comes, moon comes, Time slips away, Sun sets, moon sets, Love, fix a day. With the first warm kiss of spring the thought that agitates many a girl’s erage young man this year. He is glad enough to hold on to his position and to do double the amount of work. It is the young man who is obliged to take several days off who is not looking at the prospect with any great amount of exuberance. Heretofore he has hied himself to the mountains or seashore; not only for the change of recreation it afforded, but that’s where all the pretty girls went and he could be sure of enjoying himself to the top of his bent, swimming, stroll ing, sailing, moonlight dances on piaz za and lawn, straw rides and barn dances. He came back to his work with a new zest, even though he had not met the girl of his dreams. He told him self he would have better luck next time. Most young men look upon staying at home philosophically; whether they live in city or town they find so many ways to pass the time that their vacation days are over all too soon. The girl who has expected to meet him in some fashionable place is disappointed. The maiden who al most cried her eyes out because her folks hadn’t money enough to send her away realizes that it was certainly providential. Had she gone she would have missed the best days of her life with Jack. He had called every evening and taken her somewhere, to church, camp meet ing, out for a stroll, to the ice cream parlor and last, but by no means least, to the out-of-door movies. Her father allows her to have company at home because her summer outing hasn’t cost him anything. The cheap little white mull dress which she believed would have made her quite a laughingstock at any resort, looked charming in the Z eyes of the unsophisticated young man who couldn’t have told to save his life whether she had on a satin or a calico frock. Os course it wouldn’t do for all maidens to get the stay-at-home bee in their bonnet or the big hotels would have to close their doors. But it’s a mighty satisfactory state of affairs for those who couldn’t go off on a summer’s vacation. There will be more marriages this summer between couples who have known each other all their lives than ever before. Young men will find that they don’t have to go off to meet pretty girls. There are quite as many just as fair and sweet in their own home town. They don't have to go to the trouble of being made acquainted with her family, and do a lot of ex paining about their own lives. Ere the summer is over the young man will say he had no idea that Susie was half so sweet! When one young man sur renders to Cupid, most of his friends will usually follow his example. IF HE HAS SPINSTER SISTERS. Love and time with reverence use. Treat them like a parting friend, Nor the golden gifts refuse— Which in youth sincere they send; For each year their price is more, And they less simple than before. There are bachelors who acknowl edge secretly to themselves that they might be tempted into matrimony if they come across the right woman. These are the men who board at ho tels, are not society beaux, and do not banish the hope which creeps into their hearts now and then of enjoying home comforts, of listening to a wife’s voice and the prattle of babies per haps. Such a man can be cajoled away from single blessedness by a lovable woman who is able to convince him that she is his true heart-mate, be he forty, aye, or sixty, for that matter. But the hope of winning the middle aged, well-seasoned bachelor who lives at home with spinster sisters is an ambition rarely realized, unless by almost a miracle. Not that his heart has hardened with time, but the years have made him cautious, aye, and wise. If he sees a woman who makes an es pecial appeal to his fancy, he fights a royal battle with his heart. He will not allow his thoughts to dwell upon her or his longings to cluster around her. A youth will stake everything for love. The mature man weighs the con sequences and lets prudence reign. If he is the support of elderly maiden sisters, who keep house for him, he can readily foresee what his marriage would mean to Them. They have loved and cherished him since early child hood. They have taken the place of lost parents, administering to him in health and sickness. Their lives have been devoted to him. He knows full well that they would give up their very lives to save his, if such a sacri fice were demanded of them. They have not married and left him. Their future they expect to spend, as in the past, with the one aim of mak ing him happy. What would happen if he were to bring home a wife? The elderly sisters, who have reigned in the home so long, and with such de votion, would feel that it was home no longer for them. These frail, devoted sisters would be thrown on the world homeless, penniless, heart-broken, to live, or die, facing the cold world. The conjuring up of such a picture is quite enough to make such a man forswear marriage as long as his sis ters are spared to him to care for and protect. Everything is done for his happiness and comfort and by them. Eis lifelong determination not to dis rupt his home and theirs is ample proof of his acknowledgment of his in debtedness to them and his gratitude. The woman who sets her cap for this type of man, nine times out of ten meets with defeat. He may admire her, wish with a half sigh that he had just such a woman for his wife, but it ends there. There’s no use wasting time in foolish speculation; he wouldn’t dis rupt his home, turn out his loving sis ters, to gain the best woman in the world for a wife. HEART NO LONGER SINGS. What is the gold all men desire. When only power it brings, When high resolves no more Inspire, When the heart no longer sings, When hope is a fitful fire, And life's harp has lost its strings? Youth-time is laughter-time, enjoy ment-time, hope-building time, the time when the heart's song is gay as the lark’s and life’s cares have not crossed the horizon of the present. Pleasure and happiness are the birthright of the young. There should be music in their sunny days and floating through their dreams at night. It does not take much to make them enjoy themselves, merry companions, a little kindness and love shown them, gratifying a few simple wishes, and they are as happy as the day is long. Duties may weigh heavily on their young shoulders, but they do not worry over them —care is swept aside by the anticipation of some coming joy. It is when the candle of hope has burned to the socket and died out that the human heart begins to languish and life’s song dies away on the lips in a sob. This should not be. No mat ter how bitter life is and how dark the clouds, the sunshine is struggling to pierce its way through them and radi ate the heart with its brightness. An angry thought, a brooding over wrongs, real or fancied, is just so much poison dashed upon the poor, helpless, suffering heart which is pow erless to protect itself against the one being on earth whose duty it is to guard from injury. If brooding did any good, one could be pardoned for indulging in it, but it does not; on the contrary, it is throwing the door of the heart wide open, inviting an ac knowledged enemy to enter, making havoc with the worn, tired, faithful organ which is denied the little com fort its faithfulness earns. The woman whose heart no longer sings loses her buoyancy and beauty speedily. Her eyes catch the spirit of discontent and lose their brightness, and the lips their smile. All coquetry dies out of her nature, and when this happens her sweetest, most womanly attraction vanishes with it. All with whom the sad woman comes in contact may respect, nay, pity her, but ninety nine persons out of a hundred will flee in another direction if they see her approaching. The world has need of a woman’s laughter and mirth. No one wants to condole with her constantly over her woes. Her tribulations are of im portance to herself only. Who wants to be burdened with the recital of them? Who cares? No one. Brooding women should make it Hie determination of their lives to turn over a new leaf. If they would win friendship, popularity, even love, they must teach the heart a new song and see that it sings it? The bright, blithesome woman who is a veritable ray of sunshine is always sought after, appreciated and courted. She never fails to win her way to one’s heart and touch affection's golden chord. No matter what reason a woman has for grief, do not let the world suspect it. That will not amend matters. As sume cheerfulness though you have it not. When the heart no longei sings, love refuses to nestle there. No Problem in That. The Agent—l am selling a remark able combination utensil. Housewife —What is it for? “See this little blade?” “Yes.” “That’s a can opener.” “Indeed!” “And this hook is an appliance to lift pans from the Are.” “What’s this?" “That’s a tack puller.” “But suppose I want the girl to open a can of soup and my husband to pull some tacks while I attend to the pans on the stove?” “Easiest thing in the world. All you have to do is to buy three of the uten sils. Anything else, please?" heart is where will the young men go this sum mer to spend their vacation? The question reminds me of the little lad who was wist fully watching a playmate devour a big, red, juicy ap ple. “Can I have the core?” h e asked eagerly. “There isn't going to be any core left,” was the laconic reply. There isn’t go ing to be any va cation for the av- m RUTLETTN. THWINTON. GEORGIA. | FEED, SHELTER AND EXERCISE FOR SHEEP ] Majestic, Grand Champion Rambouillet. (By C. V. SINGLETON, Idaho Experi ment Station.) It is very important that the ewes of the flock be put in proper condition before lambing time, as otherwise the farmer or breeder can expect only a small percentage of lambs. There are two conditions that may result in the raising of a small percentage of lambs. First, many people have the impres sion that the ewes can be kept throughout the year on coarse rough feeds with no grain except perhaps a small amount after lambing. The re sult is that the ewes being thin at lambing time produce weak lambs and do not produce enough milk to keep the lamb alive for the first few days. The second condition, in which the ewes are too fat, is far less common, but does occur. If the ewes have had the run of a good pasture during the summer they may be in very high con dition in early winter. Then, if rather heavy- grain feeding is started early the ewes may become too fat for best results. In any flock of great size there is always much individual varia tion in the tendency of the ewes to put on fat. For this reason it is often advisable to divide the flock, putting the fatter ewes together and feeding them rather light until near lambing time. The ewes, thin in condition, should be fed enough to bring them to good breeding condition before lamb ing. If the ewes are in good breeding condition in the fall and a good qual ity of roughage is fed, no grain need GOOD DOGS SPREAD SEVERAL DISEASES Towser Has Been Guilty of Car rying Germs of Rabies, Hyda tid, Favus and Ringworm. That good friend of the farmer, the dog, will have to be looked after more carefully, if he is not to do as much harm as good on the farm. According to a bulletin issued by the United States department of agriculture, Tow ser has been found to be a carrier of such diseases as rabies, hydatid, ring worm, favus, double-bored tapeworm, round worm, and tongue worm. All of these are diseases which afflict hu man beings. Occasionally, also, the dog carries fleas and ticks, which in turn transmit bubonic plague and the deadly spotted fever. In these days of the foot-and-mouth disease, too, farmers should see to it that their dogs do not bring home the fatal germs, or, if they have the dis ease on their own farms, they should take pains to prevent their dogs from carrying it to their neighbors’ farms. EDUCATE OR TRAIN HORSE WHEN YOUNG Under Average Farm Conditions Draft Colts Are Not Handled Until Ready to Work. Horses should be educated or trained, and never broken, according to Dr. C. W. McCampbell, assistant professor of animal husbandry at the Kansas State Agricultural college. When one breaks a horse he breaks its spirit and the animal responds wholly through fear. The education of the colt should be gin when it is but a few days old. The first step should be to teach it to be le<j. This will not take long, and it is a lesson that the animal will never forget. Under average farm condi tions draft colts are not handled until they are ready to work, and in this case all they know is to respond to the halter. “In educating the colt,” says Doc tor Campbell, “one should work around it patiently until he has gained its confidence and then get it used to the harness one piece at a time. It should then be driven by the use of the double line. “Do not attempt to hitch thq colt to a load until it is perfectly used to the bit and Unes. After the animal is ac customed to the bit and lines and the meaning of the ordinary signs such as ‘get up’ and ‘whoa,’ it should then be hitched to a wagon with an old and gentle horse.” Successful horse training depends principally upon two things—horse sense 25 per cent and patience 75 per be given until about three or four weeks before the beginning of the lambing season. The grain then given should consist of feeds that favor a good milk flow as oats or bran. A mix ture of the two should prove very sat isfactory. Up to the time of lambing only about one-half to three-quarters of a pound per day need be fed. After the lambing period, the amount should be increased somewhat. The proper amount to feed then would depend on the size of the ewes, the percentage of lambs and other factors. The question of roughage for ewes is a very important one. Alfalfa and clover hay are almost essential if the very best results are to be obtained. Very coarse, fibrous hays, especially timothy, have been shown to be very objectionable as a roughage for preg nant ewes. Some form of succulent feed as roots or corn silage can be used to very great advantage if the cost is not prohibitive. The feeding should not be the only consideration in the management of the flock, but the questions of shelter and exercise are. equally important. Close housing not only is not essen tial, but should be guarded against, and instead a more open house or shed should be provided. Warmth of the house is not an important con sideration, for, if kept dry, the sheep’s fleece will serve to keep the body warm. Care should be taken that the sheep do not have to stand around in damp, muddy places. cent, points oiit this authority. When these two are combined it is compara tively easy to train or educate any ordinary horse. Whenever a colt is broken in this manner it has a better spirit and real ly works with the expenditure of less energy than the colt that is broken by the force method. PARASITE IS CAUSE OF MANGE IN HOGS Imbeds Self in Region of Hair Follicles—Readily Transmitted to Other Animals. (By H. S. EAKINS, Colorado Agricultur al College, Fort Collins, Colo.) We hear much about mange in horses and cattle, and scab in sheep, but mange in hogs is not at all un common. The parasite that causes mange in hogs is microscopic in size and looks something like an oat grain. It imbeds in the region of the hair follicles, especially around the snout, eyes and forelegs, causing the forma tion of small pustules. The skin be comes thickened and rough. Where a hog is much affected the carcass should be condemned for food. This kind of mange is readily trans mitted to other hogs and treatment is difficult. Since there are some who believe hog cholera may be trans mitted by these and other external parasites, such as lice, it is well to keep a lookout for hog mange. INDIVIDUALITY OF AVERAGE DAIRY COW Always Best to Give the Milk Producer the Kind of Feeds She Likes and Thrives On. The scientist cannot figure to a nicety just what is the feed or com bination of feeds that is going to do a certain cow the most good. If given free choice of feeds she might shock the balanced ration enthusiast by vio lating some of the rules of standard izing. She may turn up her nose at gluten feed, or even alfalfa, or some thing else that most cows eat readily. This is individuality that is often spoken of. Cows do best on feeds they like. They eat more of them, and it is the excess of feed above body maintenance that goes into milk production. Watch your cows. If one refuses musty hay you would better favor her with something better if she is a good milker. Cows Need Much Grass. Cows should have plenty of grass, as they do best and produce larger quantities of milk in early summer when grass is abundant. CALOMEL H BUS’ NO!

S. Pugh, 510 Market St., and Mrs. Mary Bolton, 105 Ravine St., both of Fulton, Mo., have found, in common with many other Missouri mothers, that it is no longer necessary to dose children with internal medi cines for cold troubles. In the South Vick's Vap-O-Rub is the standard remedy for these troubles, but It was only last winter that it was introduced here. Vap-O-Rub was discovered by a North Carolina druggist. He found bow to combine Menthol and Camphor with the volatile oils of Thyme, Euca lyptus, Cubebs and Juniper, in salve form, so that when applied to the body, the ingredients are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are inhaled wltb each breath, tbrough the air passages, to the lungs, carrying the medication di rect to the affected parts, and, in ad dition, Vick’s Is absorbed through the skin, taking out the tightness and VICK^^^^SAIVE spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten ydu right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money.

This double action makes Vap-O-Rub really a remarkable rem edy for many forms of inflammations. Either inflammations of the air pas sages, such as head colds, catarrh, bronchitis, sore throat, or deep chest colds, or inflammations of the skin tissues, such as burns, bruises, stings, piles, itchings and muscular soreness.

L And it better than any in ternal medicine I ever used.” Mrs. Pugh’s experience is—"l tried your Vap-O-Rub on three of my chil dren for bronchitis. They would cough so hard at night I could not sleep, so would get up and rub their throats and chests with Vap-O-Rub and they seldom coughed any more that night, and after I had kept it up for several nights they stopped coughing. I be lieve it is better than taking so much medicine internally." Three sizes, 25c, 50c or SI.OO. At all druggists.
