.A WOMAN WHO RESOLVED « NOT TO BE TOO GOOD 1 The American Magazine has been offering prizes for the best letters en- J titled "My Most Successful New Year's ; Resolution." The prize-winning letters are published in the .lanuary number. 1 The following letter, by Anne U. Taylor 1 won the third prize: It was. long before dawn last New Year's morning. I lay awake in bed. 1 waiting for the early cry of my babies. I was thinking of other New Year's morning in which I had made soulstirring resolutions to be good — to be > _j gentle, kind, unselfish. I recalled the agreeable elation, the smack of self^ righteousness, with which I had said: "1 will be good." That morning, as I lay there in the dark, I made another resolution: 1 will not be good!" I knew it would mean a long, hard fight, but I set my teeth and vowed it. I had been toe good. I had been kind and unselfish, instead of firm and self-respecting. I had made a martyr of myself for my husband, my children, my servants — and I had spoiled them afl. «I will not be meek, I will not be ■sH-saerificing, I will not be overworked. I will not be put upon!" Bo its my litany. younger baby woke and tried In her

I : set my teeth and held myself in bed. , Soon they were both crying violently < Their father woke and regarded mc i in surprise. " Aren't you welll" he j asked. j I "Oh. perfectly," I said. j i "Well, aren't you going to fix their , milk! They seem to be hungry," said my husband anxiously. He seldom , heard his children cry. "Poor babies," said L "They aren't . going to have their milk this time of . morning any more. Perhaps they will 7 get used to it" I was aching with the , i desire to rush to them. "Presently my bewildered husband 6 looked at his watch and spoke: "Have • [ you looked at the furnace yett" j ' "No, dear," maid I, lying there calmly. . It had been my self-appointed task to c attend to the fire in the early mornings. , I knew at laat that my wicked goodnew' had been making my really ad- _ mirable husband inconsiderate and lazy. _ But, oh! bow It hurt me to nee him get up In the cold. e When he returned he said, "Guess .. rn hare to buy a thermostat!'" 0 "Good Idea," aald L Prom that morning I put ay teeoa lution Into rnthleaa practice. I let my-

L ' self be spoiled; 1 asserted my prefer- . I 'ences; 1 stopped taking dark meat. My husband responded with wonderful amiability. My children, who had been r ■ most dffficeult to manage, soon stopped t \ their fretful crying and learned to play 1 .by themselves. , • Very rarely now do I have to repeat t ' my litany: "I wilf not be meek, I will( t not be self-sacrificing, I will not be c ' overworked, I will not be put upon." « t CASTOR I A ; For and Children. > The Had Yoo Havs Alwajs Bought I • THE SUCCESSFUL FARMERS > Money saved to make needed improve- • men Is on the farm, if put by systemat- " icnlly, will accumulate faster than yon " imagine, and the total sum, when se- • cured, will enable yon to obtain lmprovt -d machinery, more stock, or home comforts; that will make the farm yield ■ greater returns and make life better worth the living.

! EFFECT OF OATS ON FLAVOR OF Mas It has been asserted by some dairy - ' men that the feeding of crushed oata | cows will improve the flavor of milk. ascertain the correctness of this the- 1 ory a series of 'experiments was made - the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United 8tates Department of Agri- 1 1 1 culture at the experimental dairy farm at Beltsville, Md. Six cows were used in the experiment; three were fed a grain 1 ration of corn meal, bran and cottonseed meal; the other three were fed a ( grain mixture of five parts crushed oata i and one part cottonseed meal. A sum- ) ber of samples of milk from the cows ' fed these rations were submitted to j various persons in the dairy division < and they were asked to indicate their I preference. In all 60 opinions were . passed on various sample*. Of these, 18 • showed a preference for the milk from , cows fed on crushed oata, 26 preferred that from the bran and corn ration, ' ' while 9 expressed no ekotoe The re- ' suits show that In these rations, not only was there no marked difference hi favor of the crushed oata aa a feed to , improve flavor, but. If anything, the ration containing bran and ro.n was t more successful in predndg a fine-flav-ored milk. — — Ties Eleet-k light.

P " difficult matter to turn many b o«« P*"?"* «"»!«■ «*" centrated efforts are directed towards this end. The manufacturer cuts down the expense of production to a miomnn, ana at taa mm time aims to increase the effieiene y of his moans of production. Why should not the farmer do the samet The basis of the farmer's business is the soil, upon the productiveness of which his existence and sneeeas largely depends. The larger the crop it yields him the greater fend the more eecain his profits. Therefore, the farmer, just like the manufacturer, most aim to increase the efficiency of his nmaaa of proportion. Hence, his aim must be to increase the produetavenma of Ms law!, UiereinV whrtwaj^ can the^fsnner inereaae the fertility of his soil, control his marketing and turn waste into a saleable product T By feeding the products of the farm to live *ock, far the production of milk; %f h«*f , pork, bacon, mutton, wool, etc He can in tliis way usnallv make a double profit. That is selling bis hays and grains to his live stock (so to speak), and then realize another profit from them. This method of fanning depends largely on conditions. as the nearness to a market where the finished product can to disposed of more advantageously in' the farm of lire stock and its products, then when the hays, other roughages and grains When live stock and their products is the finished produet, the fertility of the soil is largely maintained by returning the excrements of the animals to the soil, along with correct methods of cultivation, rotation, etc. The waste products, as for instance potato culls, skim milk and like products of an unsalable nature, can be advantageously fed to hogs. • The average farmer earns his income on the farm usually from several sources. Part of it comes from keeping dairy and beef cattle, from the raising of hogs and sheep, and the growing of hays, grains, truck, fruit, etc. Keeping a small flock of sheep on the average farm is profitable, not alone because veal wool and mutton cam be produced cheaply, thus . affording one source of income at least, but that sheep, whose excrements are of the richest, aid greatly in maintaining soil fertility. Not only do they do this, but they help to keep down weeds that would otherwise become a nuisance on the farm. While close observation of the floek is. nectary in order to detect sickness, etc., yet they require very litfle "attention, except at lambing time, and in the winter in the time of sharp cutting ! winds and snow storms, when great care must be taken to keep j them from getting snow in their wool which by dripping through I to the Bkin causes rheumatism.. The housing is simple. It n j merely a matter of keeping the house high and dry, weil ventilated | and not too cold. When turned into & brush pasture, sheep will eat the leaves off the growing hushes, thus keeping the brush down and aiding materially in ridding the pasture of it. When the corn is about j the milk stage, sheep can be turned into the corn field where they will keep down the weeds, deposit their excrements, and only eat the lower leaves of the corn stalks, the leaves which dry up anyway, before the corn is cut. Therefore, summing up~-the value of at least a small flock of sheep on the farm we find that very little work and care is required in keeping them. They are great soil enrichers. Besides the wool they produce, they hear one, two, and sometimes three lambs at lambing time. Tn the wyiter they are simply ted clover hay. succulent feeds like roots, silage, and small amounts of a mixture of two parts bran and one part oata. The value of sheep, in view of the- above mentioned factors towards a source of turning an honest and profitable penny, is obvious.

An old man nearly 80 years old walked ten miles from his j home to an adjoining town. When he reached his destination, he ' was greeted with some astonishment by an acquaintance. "You walked all the way!" the latter exclaimed. "How did I you get along 1" "Oh, first rate!" the old man replied genially. "That is, uni til I came to that sign out there, 'Slow down to fifteen miles an hour.' That kept me back some." FEELINGS.
