MARRYING THE GIRLS OFF.
New hope may bloom and days may come
Os milder, calmer beam.
But there’s nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream.
To be the parents of a houseful of
blooming daughters is continuous joy.
er mother is half of the battle. She
knows the value of letting them see
and be seen. She may nave been a
woman who clung close to her own
fireside, with a decided dislike for all
forms of amusement outside. Nor did
she care for the friendship of other
women, the frivolity of exchanging
calls, as she termed it, parties, socials
or dances.
The girls are verging on young
womanhood. She realizes if she would
have them make suitable matrimonial
matches she must revolutionize her
ways and habits of a lifetime. She
throws off her stiff mannerism, and
calls on her neighbors, joins a church
and two or three clubs composed of
society women, or those rich in fine,
stalwart, marriageable sons.
She gets up little home affairs, put
ting a keen eye on the list of young
men to be invited. Many a name she
crosses off, ignoring the daughters’
pleadings or their tears. If she hears
that a certain young man is of a con
vivial nature, uses wine to excess, has
been seen in bad company, gambles,
does not hold to a position, long she
studies him. He nay have caught the
daughter's fancy, but there is a stern
sentinel standing between him and the
maiden’s heart, ready to give him roy
al battle, defeating any matrimonial
design he may entertain. An honor
able man or none is the mother’s mot
to. A wise mother has her own trou
ble in guiding a flock of romantic
girls who are helplessly unaware as
to whether they are really in love
with the right man or whether Cupid,
that most satirical of all jokers, is
playing a lively prank with them, to
teach them one of the most important
of don’ts in love’s lesson. A mother’s
anxiety is only relieved when the
young man of whom she approves asks
for her daughter’s heart and hand, and
an early date is set for the wedding.
Even then her watchful care must not
relax. A lover’s quarrel at the elev
enth hour may upset her fondest
hopes.
If daughter No. 2 is far more at
tractive than her eldest offspring, the
far-seeing mother keeps the younger
girl closely at her studies, that she
may not interfere with her elder sis
ter's chance of marriage. The mother
has listened to all that has been said
regarding soul mates and lovers in
tended for each other, and so forth,
but she knows the heart of man, real
izing that a pretty, winsome young
girl, with bright eyes, smiling lips and
dimples in cheek and chin, has been
known to release a lover from his al
legiance on his way .to the altar. She
would take no chance. She entertains
one hops that far outreaches all oth
ers in her breast —that she may see
her girls fairly launched on the sea of
matrimony, while she is able to be in
charge of the helm and steer their
bark safely past the first shoals and
shallows. Marrying her girls off to
worthy husbands is a solemn duty
placed in a mother’s hands.
YOUNG MEN WED.
Oh, Love! Young Ix>ve! Bound in the rosy
band,
Let sage or cynic prattle as he will,
These hours and these alone redeem
life’s years of ill.
It is the nature of the great ma
jority of men to marry early. They
have full faith in the belief that love
may spring up in the heart at first
sight and, with the impatience of
youth, they rush headlong into matri
mony.
With the middle-aged men the fire
of youth has cooled down so consider
ably that they do not pin much faith
to the- romantic notion that the love
that lasts is of mushroom growth, de
veloped at first sight. They believe in
taking a second look, aye, many of
them, to make assurance doubly sure
In their heart that it would be a wise
step to give up their freedom to be
tied down to wedlock.
A youth sees a pretty maiden, there’s
a few strolls under the light of a
fair May moon, a little nonsensical
prattle, such as “Do you like danc
ing?" “I fairly adore it,” “Are you
sure you like me better than any girl
you have ever met,” “I really do think
I could like you Immensely,” “Mamma
is strict about kissing,” etc.
, On the spur of the blissful, tender
* moment, the youth declares his pas
sion. He would be engaged a thou
sand times over to win that tender,
sacred betrothal kiss, and hold those
beautiful little white hands, and have
the right to call her his bride to Be.
The middle-aged man’s heart is of
tougher fiber. He may fancy a wom
an’s apearance at first sight, but re
serves his judgment of her until he has
seen her often enough to verify his
good opinion of her. He may find her
personally pleasing, may realize that
she has touched a chord in his nature
s to which his heart responds. He cau
, tiously holds his heart in leash until
he has had full opportunity to test her
f disposition, her temper, learn her
hopes and aspirations, who and what
J her forbears were, whether she is do
mesticated, a good housekeeper and
, can cook, if money would be the mo
. tive power with her in marrying, or if
t she was willing to chance it —marry
. for affection and trust to her Influence
। over him to cause him to provide,
. financially, to a greater extent for her
. than he did for his sisters and broth
, ers, nieces and nephews.
t Last, but by no means least, he
makes it a point to learn whether she
. likes children. Unless a woman can
, fill all of the requirements the mid
, die-aged man will not step over the
boundary line of calm friendship to
. become a wooer. If he does make up
his mind to wed, he is not apt to make
! a mistake in the choice of a life part
ner to share his joys. He has made
. his selection with wisdom.
I
IF SHE TALKS TO STRANGERS.
How delicious is the winning
Os a kiss at love’s beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sighing
For the knot there’s no untying,
Ix>ve he conies, and Love he tarries,
Just as Fate or Fancy carries;
Longest stays when sorest chidden.
Laughs and flies when pressed and bidden.
There are so many "don’ts” put
down in the lectures parents read to
their young daughters just budding in
to womanhood that it should not bo
wondered at that the pretty young
things fail to acquire half of the knowl
edge that was supposed to have taken
firm, deep root. Especially is this the
case in regard to the opposite sex.
The one warning which should be first
on the list of “don’ts,” but which is
usually overlooked, is not to hold con
versations with strangers.
This does not apply to the business
girl across whose path strangers are
constantly coming and going, but to
the shy, modest maiden whom bold
triflers select, as a target toward which
they may direct their wiles —a girl too
innocent to look out for herself. Men
of that stamp usually infest the parks,
for it is there young girls are wont to
turn their steps when the air is balmy
with the breath of spring.
Few men would have the temerity to
open a conversation with a young
woman without a certain amount of
encouragement from her. To find a
lovely young girl quite alone, sitting
on a bench, is the bold man’s oppor
tunity. He takes a seat at the farth
est corner and begins his scheme of
flirting by eyeing her covertly. Once
aware that she has taken note of his
presence, then he boldly opens siege
by commenting on the weather, taking
his chances as to whether she is lady
enough to rebuke his advances or silly
enough to be led into conversation.
If she betakes herself to another
bench where she is removed from his
unwelcome impertinence, though his
vanity is ruffled by the quiet rebuff,
he cannot help respecting the lass, ad
miring her all the more. That is the
girl he cannot forget, and in his mus
ings he wishes that it might fall to his
lot to win such a golden prize for a
wife. A husband’s love and honor
would be so secure in her keeping.
Statues of Jeanne d’Arc.
No story is more appealing that that
of Jeanne d’Arc, especially as de
scribed by Schiller in his immortal
drama. No wonder there are so many
statues of the heroine in France. The
first one to be erected in this country
stands in Philadelphia. The second
is on Riverside drive, at Ninety-third
street. New York city.
The statue is by Anna Vaughn
Hyatt. All the other equestrian
statues of Jeanne d’Arc are by men;
but Miss Hyatt has shown in sculpture
what Rosa Bonheur has in painting,
that a woman can express with fideli
ty the vigor of animal life as well as
the idealism of human life.
The statue is of bronze, of heroic
size. Jeanne is in armor, standing in
her stirrups, holding the reins in her
left hand and a sword in her upraised
right hand. The horse was modeled
after a splendid Percheron in Paris.

After leaving the high school of a
retired village somewhere in the mid
dle West, says Railway and Locomo
tive Engineering, Tom Ruskin entered
the principal dry goods store of the
town. He spent a couple of years be

PROFITABLE TO FEED GRAIN ON PASTURE
J.
& Ms
Pigs at Weaning Time on Cowpeas.
(By R. C. ASHBY, Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
"Corn for fat and pasture for pork,”
said a farmer. He meant that the pas
ture furnished exercise in gathering
the green, succulent feed and by keep
ing the hogs healthy and vigorous, it
put them in the best condition to make
good gains from their grain feed.
It pays to feed grain on pasture, for
pasture alone will do little more than
keep up a pig’s weight. A light to
medium grain ration is usually most
profitable. About two or three pounds
of grain a day is a good ration for
shotes weighing eighty to one hundred
pounds. If you have scales, weigh
your pigs occasionally and feed about
three pounds of grain daily for each
100 pounds live weight of hogs.
| EFFECTS OF SERUM ON BUTCHERED HOGS~
Sow and Litter of Pigs on Rape.
(By DAVID S. WHITE, Ohio State Uni
versity.)
Anti-hog-cholera serum, unlike virus,
does not multiply or Increase in
the body nor does it cause a general
disease. Its elimination is very rapid,
in the average case it is entirely elim
inated in about six weeks. From a
purely scientific standpoint, therefore,
the meat of a hog, so treated, could be
eaten any time, provided it was healthy,
when the serum was administered and'
showed no symptoms or indication of
increased temperature at the time of
slaughter.
However, the injection of serum into
CONSIDERATION DUE
TO THE DAIRY COW
She Must Have Milk-Producing
Feed and Bodily Comfort-
Make a Pet of Her.
(By H. M. COTTRELL.)
The man to make the most profits
from a dairy herd must be a gentle
man—kind, considerate, progressive,
intelligent. Milk is the product of
motherhood. The cow is a mother
and gives milk to develop the life of
her baby, the calf. The dairy cow,
to be made most productive, must
have the care and consideration due
to every animal mother. She must
have milk-producing feed and feed that
will develop fully her unborn calf
while she is milking. She must have
bodily comfort —shelter, water, salt,
shade in hot weather, and pure air all
the time. She must be petted. When
a man takes her calf away from the
cow and milks her, he becomes for the
time to her a second-hand calf. The
cow loves her calf and is happy when
• she is giving milk to it. The more
the dairyman can pet his cows, make
them like him as they do their calves,
the more milk they will give and the
richer will be the milk. This sounds
like “gush ” but is cold business truth
that closely followed will bring profits.
MILLIONS LOST BY
PESTIFEROUS WEEDS
/
One of Most Serious Problems
Farmer Has to Deal With—
How They Are Spread.
(By W. L. OSWALD, University of Min
nesota.)
The weed problem is one of the
most serious with which the farmer
has to contend. Weeds cause an act
ual loss to the state of many million
dollars every year. But few realize
Good rations for summer feeding
are easily obtained. On clover, alfalfa
or rape pasture, feed corn and a little
skim milk. On blue-grass or timothy
pasture feed three pounds of skim
milk to each two pounds of corn. More
milk would do no harm. If skim milk
is not at hand it will pay to feed oil
meal or tankage with the corn, where
blue grass or timothy pasture is used
about one part tankage to 11 parts
corn, or one part oil meal to seven
parts corn.

the tissues causes them to become
discolored and, in some instances, es
pecially if the scrum is not pure, may
lead to abcess formation. For these
reasons it is customary to wait, in the
average case, two weeks before allow
ing the hog treated with serum alone
to be killed for human food. In this
time usually little or no trace of the
serum or its local effect upon the tis

the magnitude of the loss. The eradi
cation of weeds already established on
the farm is a much discussed question
at present, but little is said about pre
venting weeds from getting on the
farm.
There are many natural agencies,
such as wind, water, animals, etc.,
which cause the spread of weeds.
There is still another manner in
which weeds are brought on the
farm; that is, by sowing seed which
has mixed with it many weed seeds.
A large percentage of the weeds is
put on the farm by actually planting
■weed seeds with farm or garden
crops.
In most cases a farmer sows weed
seeds because he is not familiar with
(these weed seeds. Every farmer
should be just as familiar with the bad
weed seeds as he is with seeds of
wheat, clover and timothy.
EXERCISE IS GOOD
FOR THE STALLION
Animal Should Be Handled by
Man Who Understands His
Business Thoroughly.
(By C. W. M’CAMPBELL, Secretary of
Kansas Live Stock Registry Board.)
Stallions should be worked regular
ly provided the man who works them
understands them and gives them
proper care. A stallion should be bro
ken to harhess before he is two years
old.
The man who breaks a stallion to
harness, especially after the horse has
reached maturity, must be a thor
ough horseman, not afraid, and yet
able to handle the horse with consid
eration as well as firmness.
Remember that while the horse is
big he usually is soft and cannot stand
a lot of hard work at first. Give him
only a few hours light work each day
for several months. After he is hard
ened to it give him a full day’s work
except during breeding season wher
he may be worked half time.
Parents Should Know
this Splendid Remedy
Simple Laxative Compound
Helps to Correct Consti-
pation in Children.
With all children there are times
when the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par
ents to administer a remedy. Cathar
tics and purgatives should never be
used as these agents afford only tem
porary relief while their violent action
shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva
F. Gaff, 517 10th St., Washington, D. C.,
says that her little girl, Marie, had
been subject to constipation, and that
she found Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
the best remedy because of its mild
ness, and now always keeps a bottle
of it in the house.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs of
any kind, and is an ideal remedy for
children because of its mild action and
positive effect. Its use tends to
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.
It is important that parents should
know of a dependable remedy with no
unpleasant after effects, griping or

Basing his calculation upon the
data which were procured when the

France, in 1913, Aeronautics estimates
that the maximum capacity of the
modern Zeppelin for carrying high ex

they cannot possibly carry the five
tons which have been claimed for
these ships of the air.

in crossing the 300 miles from the

power thereafter being ’ dependent

GOOD REPORT
Doctor Proved Value of Postum.
Physicians know that good food and
drink, properly selected, are of the ut
most importance, not only for the re
lief of disease but to maintain health
even when one is well.
A doctor writes, “I count it a pleas
ure to say a good word for Postum
with which I have been enabled to re
lieve so many sufferers, and which I
count, with its valued companion
Grape-Nuts, one of the daily blessings.
"Coffee was banished from my own
table some time ago and Postum used
regularly in its place.” (Coffee is in
jurious to many persons, because it'
contains the subtle, poisonous drug,
caffeine.) ,
