FAVORITES OF THE HOUR.
And wilt thou leave me thus?
I’ve given thee my heart
Never to depart
And wilt thou leave me thus?
Say nay, I pray thee—say me nay.
I It is always the song that creates
the greatest furore that soonest is
er is prodigal in
the use of her God-given voice, over
■which the world raves today, only to
find that it has grown dumb over
night. The great artists of the stage,
at whose shrine the world bows today,
like all darlings of genius, have short,
meteoric careers, and join in their
turn the silent procession that passes
through the gates of obscurity to be
heard from seldom or never again.
Why should not these butterflies of
hn hour flit about happily in the sun
shine, for all too soon their sun
crosses the meridian, and glides si
lently, swiftly, toward the night and
darkness. What favorite of the hour
can be made to realize that success
is fleeting? No one is so necessary
in any field of endeavor in this world
that her, or his place cannot be filled
without either notice, or preparation,
by one who has pressed close behind
who can fill the place as well if not
better, becoming for a while in turn
a favorite of the hour.
It is not cruel that this should be
so, It Is only just and natural. As
the marrow brings new sunlight, the
spring new flowers, more beautiful and
as fragrant as any that have bloomed
before, why should the rose on last
year’s bush be mourned for, its loss
regretted or even remembered? It
lived its life, delighted its worshipers
for a span, and that was all it was
created to do. The flirt and coquette
reigns her brief season, encouraging,
then vexing, the heart of a man, only
to be forgotten when the girl he is to
make his wife comes upon the scene.
And the vampires, the women who lure
hearts to their undoing, hold sway only
while the spell of fascination is upon
their victims, such attractions are the
soonest to lose their power and hold,
and the vampire’s brief day is over;
she must find new hearts to feed upon
as she passes swiftly on toward middle
age, then old age, poverty, and suffer
ing. Each and all the favorites of
the hour have their little triumphs,
and then they must learn their little
lesson, that success is not meant to
last a lifetime. One must be content
if a slice of the delicious cake falls
into the eager hand stretched out to
grasp the whole loaf if he can. One
should be gratified, nay thankful, if
ever so small a ray of the sunshine of
success fall upon her path, illuminat
ing it for a little way. Nothing lasts
for all time. Youth fades, the most
ardent love mellows into its counter
part, constant friendship, as the years
roll by, even life cannot be counted
upon to stay with us Indefinitely. Be
content to be the happy favorite of
the hour, glad that even a small meas
ure of joy has fallen to your lot.
JEALOUS SWEETHEARTS.
But through the heart
Should jealousy its venom once diffuse,
’Tie then delightful misery no more,
But agony unmixed, incessant gall,
Corroding every thought and blasting all
Love’s paradise.
The young man who takes secret de
light in arousing the jealousy of his
betrothed sweetheart is sharpening
to its keenest edge a sword that will
cause him no end of trouble all
through his married life. I wonder
how any sane man can enter into the
plan of trying to arouse jealousy to de
termine how’ much the girl really
thinks of him.
He should know that jealousy
arouses distrust. When confidence
has once been disturbed, it seldom or
never knows actual peace again.
In the days of early courtship a
jman should make up his mind wheth
|er or not he has met the one woman
from among all others who can make
his life complete. Having once settled
this most Important query to his own
satisfaction, proposed marriage and
Ibeen accepted, he should devote the
remainder ot his single days to the
(object of making the woman who is
Ito wed him as supremely happy as
^betrothed lovers should be.
. It shows a decided lack of intelli
gence and manly kindliness as well
(for tha, engaged man to show undue
^attention to any other woman, to the '
j embarrassment of his sweetheart To
| do so is to convey to her the impres
sion that he is not entirely satisfied
with ner and is still “looking around”
for someone he might like better.
A man should consider himself par
ticularly fortunate in gaining the love
of a good, virtuous woman, and prize
it as a jewel beyond price. When
the serpent jealousy forces its way
into her heart it eats the flowers of
hope, shadows the sunshine of her
joy. The woman who is jealous of
her lover will not be overburdened
with confidence in him after the vows
at the altar have been spoken which
bind them to each other for all time.
There will always be a lurking fear
In her heart, almost from day to day,
that he may meet some other woman
whose charms he will consider supe
rior to hers. If she beholds his eyes
linger interestedly on any other wom
an, hears him speak in praise of her,
her sleeping jealousy is instantly
aroused, and he finds the jealousy of
a sweetheart is nothing to what the
jealousy of a wife can be.
Like wild ivy, it poisons all with
which it comes in contact and, though
you may apparently pull it up by the
roots and destroy it, there is al
ways a tiny fragment left in the soil
ready to spring up at the slightest
provocation.
It is generally the lover’s fault if
his sweetheart is jealous of him. He
should check it as he would the seeds
of an epidemic at the first intimation
he has that it exists. If a wife is
jealous, that home is never a happy
one and both husband and wife feel Its
dire results.
WOMAN ONCE EARNED MONEY.
Alas! The joys that fortune brings
Are trifling and decay.
And those who prize the paltry things
More trifling still than they.
When thousands of young men the
country over quit their jobs to aid the
cause of Uncle Sam, their sisters and
their sweethearts jumped into their
places to hold down their positions
until the boys returned. No one said
them nay, but whether or not the
move was a wise one is a story yet
to be told.
There is a sort of fascination in
making money, the result of which is
never afterward wholly overcome. It
will be an eye opener to many a sweet
heart as to the real value of the sti
pend her Jack receives to compensate
him for his hours of toll and give her
an insight as to her future prospects
when they wed.
Other girls will make the discovery
that It is not necessary to wed that
their support may be transferred from
their father’s shoulders to a hus
band’s, for they are proving capable
of making their own way. Jack will
find a very practical business young
woman waiting him on his return, who
will wish to make a bargain with him
that she may still hold that position
after marriage, he finding another as
best he can.
The girl who discovers her value as
a moneymaker is not apt to make a
clinging-vine sort of heartmate. Her
independence will assert Itself. She
will let Jack understand that she is
doing him the greatest of favors to
throw up a good-paying position to en
ter a little flat, to bake, wash and
housekeep for him for her board and
clothes. He will be obliged to show
er all the love his heart is capable of
expressing to keep her there con
tented.
The girl entirely dependent upon her
husband is often made the toy of his
caprices of ill humor or 111 treatment.
Such a wife has a horror of being
thrown upon the world, realizing her
utter helplessness.
The wife who has once had the
taste of moneymaking will not stand
abuse, drunkenness or laziness in a
spouse. Facing the world has no ter
rors for her. Rather than lower the
standard she has set for herself, and
for him as well, she will go back to
her position and the comfort of earn
ing money to keep out of debt. She
who has known the power of exchang
ing her time and ability for a fair
wage, ever afterward rebels at the hu
miliation of having cash for her needs
grudgingly handed her in small pit
tances by a close-fisted, penurious hus
band.
The girl who knows what it is to
work hard for her dollars is the one
who is frugal in their expenditure. It
is a great education—one of life’s les
sons she is not likely to forget. She
is not likely to marry for the sake
of a home. With her it is the giving
up of great opportunities probably
for love, and for love alone, when she
weds. The knowledge that if need
be she can support herself is of great
value to a woman.
Misdirected Sympathy.

“But, madam, allow —”
“I insist upon your keeping your

hands on his shoulders. The man con
tinued his efforts to rise, saying:

With another push the woman again
forced him back, insisting that she
couldn’t think of accepting his seat.
With one supreme effort the man
forced her aside. “Madam,” he ex
claimed, “you have already carried me

| VIGOR, FECUNDITY, TYPE AND EFFICIENCY
I
DUROC-JERSEY SOW AND HEALTHY LITTER.
(By GEORGE R. SAMSON, in Denver
Field and Farm.)
The prime purpose in raising pigs is
to produce pork and lard and is the
one point in swine breeding, whether
one allows the animals to shift for
themselves or gives them all the elab
orate care that fancy may dictate as
contributing to the comfort of breeder
or the pigs themselves. The points
upon which the practical pork produc
er should base his selection are vigor,
fecundity, type, and efficiency in trans
forming feed into pork and lard. The
best type of pig is the one which is
most responsive to feed and most ef
ficient in laying on flesh or fat. The
marks of thrift and vigor are too well
known to require much explanation.
In any good sized litter there will ap
pear individuals more alert, larger and
fuller chested from the very first. Their
greater aggressiveness, which leads
them to avail themselves of their food
supply and perhaps a part of that of
their mates, gives them an initial ad
vantage which they usually keep
through their suckling days. In fact,
it is seldom lost when they go to the
feed lot where they can get all they
want. It is not the little, fat, chubby
females which should be retained as
breeding animals, for they almost al
ways prove disappointing at farrowing
time. They, neither produce large lit
ters nor save the little ones from being
crushed in the pig bed. They are not
good milkers, either, and thus do not
give the litter a good send-off during
the suckling days.
Long, Growthy Females.
One should rather select the long,
growthy females, taking care, however,
that they do not stand too high from
the ground and are not contracted at
the heart girth or rear flank. One
should make sure, too, that there is
no tendency for the back to sag or the
feet to go down on the dew-claws. It
is better to select one with some arch
to the back, making sure that the arch
is in the back and not in the rump.
An arched rump with a low-set tail
means a shorter ham, which curtails
the carcass in its best part. The back
should be wide and the sides should
come down perpendicularly to a low,
straight underline. Width between the
eyes and smoothness and freedom from
coarseness about the head are of im
portance, but one should look to the
body first, for that is the valuable part
of the pig. See that the sow has at
least 12 good teats, with room enough
between the front and hind legs to ac
commodate 12 good pigs.
Select a boar of the desired type and
then adhere to that one breed. The
ELEVEN SIDELIGHTS
ON DISEASE OF HOGS
Cleanliness is Given as Best Pre
ventive of Cholera—Use
Disinfectants Freely.
1. An ounce of prevention is worth
several cars of cures.
2. There has never been a cure that
worked worth while.
3. Cleanliness is the most effective
preventive. A hog will keep himself
clean if you give him a chance.
4. A hog should have room, range,
light, grass and grain, as well as pure
water.
5. Dust is more dangerous to a hog
than mud, but filth is a breeder of dis
ease to any animal. The hog is pow
erless to dodge disease when confined
in small pens.
6. Change quarters occasionally. Do
not allow hogs to stay in contami
nated places.
7. Use disinfectants —dips, white
wash and lye. Clean up now and then.
8. Clean and disinfect troughs, slop
barrels, pails, etc., as well as yards
and buildings.
9. Quarantine all new stock that is
brought onto the place, at least three
weeks. Vaccinated hogs may give
cholera to others.
! 10. Vaccinate your hogs if you know
i how, but get a veterinarian if not.
' Treat the pigs—it is much cheaper
> and better than to wait. The bigger
the hog, the more it costs to vaccinate
> him.
11. The hog seeks shade and mud
in his natural state, especially during
• summer. Give him a place to wallow,
' but do not have his pen so small he
■ cannot get around comfortably.
’ PLACE TO STORE ROOT CROPS
i
, Mangels, Beets, Carrots, Turnips and
Rutabagas Are Excellent for
( Stock in Winter.
> Every farmer should have a good cel
l lar or cave and raise a few roots, man
, gels, , beets, carrots, turnips and ruta
t hngAs. They are of the best of feeds
। for stock during the winter when they
can get nothing green to eat.
fat hog breeds will be found most
profitable under present market condi
tions. The Durocs and Poland-Chinas
are most numerous and will offer wid
er range for the selection of breeding
stock, but Berkshires and Hampshires
are good and have the advantage of
being a little better rustlers than the
Poland-Chinas. The Durocs have larg
er litters on the average than the Po
land-Chinas and meet with equal favor
on the market. The breed is of less
importance than individuality in the
boar. Whatever the breed, the boar
should be Individual and of the de
sired market type; better than the
sows. He should be one of a large lit
ter.
Having found sows that are good
mothers and have large litters of good
thrifty pigs which mature quickly and
fatten well, keep those sows and select
pigs from their litters to replace the
less profitable sows in the herd. Feed
ing quality is the most essential thing
to consider, for the better the feeding
quality the more profits we can ex
pect. The average feeder will agree
that the pig which attains a weight of
200 to 300 pounds with ■ the least
amount of feed is the most profitable
one to raise. Be careful not to select
too coarse an animal, for coarseness
means a hog that is not an easy feeder.
In the improvement of a herd nothing
is of more importance than feed. It
matters not how good a herd may be,
if judgment is not used in feeding
you can never expect to keep up the
standard, much less improve it.
Avoid Feeding Corn.
Do not feed much corn to a breeding
herd. A good alfalfa pasture in sum
mer and a wheat or rye pasture in
winter with alfalfa hay makes a pig
develop into a strong, healthy animal.
Pigs that have access to alfalfa all
the time are seldom bothered with
weak bones. It always pays to re
member that an even load of purebred
hogs of uniform size, carrying finish
and quality, makes an attractive dis
play and appeals very strongly to the
buyer. He will make a special effort
to buy hogs of this kind even if it is
necessary to spring the market to do
so. He can estimate within one or two
per cent what such hogs will yield and
can figure the dressed cost very close
ly. On the other hand, a load of hogs
of assorted sizes and breeds are dif
ficult to judge and he is forced to
make liberal allowances when buying
this class of porkers at the ranch. Gen
erally a load of this kind does not
bring what it is worth, as it is heavily
discounted by the buyer.
MAKING LIVE STOCK
LIKE SWEET CLOVER
Stake Animals in Pasture and
They Will Soon Develop Taste,
Says lowa Expert.
“My stock will not pasture on sweet
clover. They don’t seem to like it.
What's the trouble?” is the query be
ing received from many farmers over
the state by the farm crops depart
ment at lowa state college.
Do not discard such an excellent
pasture as sweet clover because the
animals do not like it at first, as they
are likely not to. They can soon be
made to like it, even better than other
pastures.
Simply allow the animals nothing
but sweet clover for a few days. If
the sweet clover patch is not separate
from other pasture, stake the animals
in it. After a few days turn them out
where they will have access to other
pasture as well as the clover. Nine
times in ten they will then eat sweet
clover in preference to any. other pas
ture.
Sweet clover is proving to be one of
the best pasture plants, especially for
sheep and cattle. Besides rarely caus
ing bloat, as do red clover and alfalfa,
it is nutritive, palatable when animals
get used to it, increases the milk flow,
grows rapidly and gives an abundant
pasturage.
ERADICATION OF ALL WEEDS
Get Rid of Noxious Plants Before
They Have Chance to Ripen
Seed—Now Is the Time.
Chop, cut or mow them down. Plow,
dig or pull them up. Any way to get
rid of them before they have a chance
to ripen seed, and now is the time to
be up and doing. One weed growing
where two grew before shows that
someone has been on to his job just
as much as two ears of corn growing
where only one grew before shows that
Mr. Parmer is wide awake, and, with
a little perseverance, its a whole lot
easier to grow fewer weeds where
weeds ought not to be than it is to
grow more corn where corn ought to
be.

SOMETHING FLY COULDN’T DO
Robbie Was Able to Point Out Its
Limitations When Called Upon
to Admire Insect.
In the opinion of some persons, the
new teacher -was going almost too far
in her attention to nature study. How
ever, the children appeared to enjoy
it all, and, so far, no parents had made
open objection to the little talks on
birds, insects, and flowers with which
the teacher diversified the routine of
school work. So all went along quite
comfortably until the afternoon when
the fly and the flea were up for con
sideration.
Following the teacher’s lead, the
children had all grown enthusiastic
over the astonishing acrobatic abilities
of the fly—all except Robbie May, who
for some time had been staring mood
ily at his desk, casting only occasional
glances at the teacher, and those un
mistakably sullen.
It became so noticeable by the time
they were all admiring the fact that
the fly can walk on the ceiling, that
the teacher paused and turned to the
boy.
“What is the trouble, Robbie?” she
inquired. “Arent’ you listening?
Aren’t you interested in the talk?”
“Ye-es,” granted Robbie, reluctantly
polite. Then, warming up, “but I bet
a fly can’t hang by its knees, and
every boy in school can do it, all ’cept
Laurie Lee, and he’s had the dipthery 1”
