Many of our guests had sma‘l hahice and I of our guests had sma‘ll babies and I did not know how to solve the diffiâ€" cu‘lty. A friend, who travels with her husâ€" band and who is used to being tucked into kitchenetts apartments, come to my rescue in such a unique manner I believe others wil} be interested. When she and Ed and Junior came to stay three days at our ranch, I had that same sinking heart I usually felt when I had ho bed for the baby. I led her to the guest room and she said, "I‘ll just fix Junior‘s drawer the first thing, so that will be ready." From her suiteaso she took a cotton pad that just fitted insido the dresser drawer. Over this she had drawn, pillowcase fashion, a rubberized sheet. | Then she put a soft white blanket on : the top. She used the middile drawer| of my dresser and puled it out about threeâ€"quarter« of the way. Undér the eentre she shoved the straightâ€"back chair, which was exactiy the right height. The dresser stood by the head of the bed, and here she had Junior, right by her side, in a bed he eouldn‘t . possibly roll out of. | When she left I painted the inside , of that drawer plain white. I made a‘ pad from an old blanket and put the | waterproof pillowease on it. The other . blankets 1 made from a worn woolen one 1 had, and every guest with a‘ baby who has visited @s since has wondered why she hadn‘t thought of ; that arrangement before.â€"â€"F. E. | Youngsters have a sociable fashion of calling for each other on the way to school, but I have found it a habit to discourage. <I now let my daughters depend for companionship on the schoolmates they chance to meet after they start off, instead of having a crony stop regularly. Some of our callers, having very early breakfasts themse‘.ves, come when we were just about to sit down to the table, and my daughters got jumpy and impatientâ€"to be off and, consequently, unable to eat a proper meal. Another girl, with a tendency to tardiness, kept my eldest daughter nervously waitiny for her in the mornings and often within a few secâ€" onds of being late with her. Other times one of my girls would linger for a friend who did not happen to be going to school that day. Altogether, it was an upsetting practice, a constant irritation, and I had to discontinue these morning cal‘s. â€"Â¥M. P. D. PRACTICAL HOME WORK. My school daughters are being helpâ€" ed in writing, spelling and arithmetic by way of our groceryâ€"store order.

When cabâ€" bagze is kept inside it is best piled on s‘atted racks not more than two heads deep. Outside, the crop is stored in various forms of pits and trenches.

(Write in your own adjectives.) Behind Anna Belle‘s house there were deep woods with a little path running through them that led to a big rock. On â€"â€" days Anna Belle loved to take a â€"â€" book, walk along the â€"â€" path, and then settle herself cozily with her back against the â€"â€" rock. There she would read and read in the â€"â€" shadows of the â€"â€" trees. One day as Anna Belie sat reading in that â€"â€"â€" place, she had a very â€"â€" experience. First, all the words on the page of her book ran togsther before her â€"â€" eyes, and when she ‘ooked up the trees were moving also. Anna Belie could scarcely betieve it, but the trees all had faces,. She could seoa their â€"â€" ayes looking at her. Their â€"â€"â€" branches were waving about like â€"â€" armsa. Anna Belie was not afraid. Even when one of tho trees reached down, took hoid of her firmly with its â€"â€"â€" branch and set her high up among its Waving their â€"â€"â€" branches, with every â€"â€" leaf shaking, like drapery, the trees began to dance slow‘y and wracefully, and Anna Beile was carâ€" ried about through the air as if she _â€"â€"â€"‘eaves, she mero‘y wondered what would happen next. . were on a siow kind of roller coaster. She liked it. She fet as if she were a â€"â€"â€" bird fAying, or a â€"â€" cloud floating in the â€"â€" sky.

Then, A sioek still Anna RBRelle feit herse‘f slipping, siipping, down from the â€"â€" branch onto the ground. Then, she felt the .â€"â€" rock hard against her back. She saw the pages of har â€"â€" book before her cyes and the words all coming straight so she cou‘ld read them. She was more surprised now that the â€"â€"â€" trees were still than~she had been when she had seen them dancing. "I‘m going right home to tell my mother about it," she said to herself, So she closed her â€"â€"â€" book and hurâ€" ried along the â€"â€" path toward her house. * The Tree People.

As an iustration, though the averâ€" age daily feed consumed by 100 chicks in tho fifth week was a little ovetr 2,400 grams, they dropped from 2,540 grams on one day to 1,400 grams on the next. Similarly the milk consumâ€" ed varied in that woeek all the way from about 5,500 grams to 8,500 grams for 100 chicks in one day. " Variations of 25 per cent. 4nâ€"total feed or milk consumption from day to day were not uncommon, showing that a chicken‘s appetite is a distinctly variable quantity, and suggesting that perhaps one of the reasons for differâ€" ences between poultrymen in their ability to grow chickens well is to be found in the suctcess which they attain in keeping the chickens steadily at the business of consuming feed from day to day. * A statement of considerable import is made by the officer in charge of the Tobacco Division of the Dominion Exâ€" perimental farms (Mr. C. M. Slagg) when he says in his report for 1925 that the use of lime in tobacco fertilâ€" ization has in all cases lowered the at Farnham, Que. The use of comâ€" mercial fertilizers in conjunction with manure gave an average yield of two hundred pounds more per acre than manure alone as well as leaving a net profit of approximately twenty dollars per acre more. It is also stated that last year‘s comparison of various manures in tobacco fertilization gave highest yie‘ds with sheep manure, fo‘â€" lowed by cow, poultry, horse and hog manures. The statement, however, is added that since the soil used in this experiment was somewhat variable, the results secured are not considered reliable. The semiâ€"hot bed has been found at the Farnhim station well adapted to the production of vigorous, early seedlings. Anna Belle‘s mother listened to her Fertilization of Tobacco.

She ato it bravely, persistently and hopefully, for Judâ€" ith‘s life ambition was to have beautiâ€" ful curly hair like Maralin Moore, and Judith‘s mother had to‘d her that the whole question of curly hair was a matter of eating spinach. grass!" Not even when the spinach was fortified by special dessert could she forget this comparison. Her averâ€" gion was quite sincere. TORONTO This had been explained in detail so many times that Judith had quite a mental picture of the bitter spinach juice working its way up to her head and wrinkling the hair inside so that it would grow out in curls. One day after lunch, Maralin of the coveted golden curls came over to play with Judith. In the midst of estabâ€" lishing a very nice home in the back yard, Judith suddenly paused and eyed Maralin speculatively. "I know how your hair got curly," she said. "From eating spinach." "No, sir! We don‘t have spinach at our house. My daddy doesn‘t like it." "Then how did your hair get curly *" "It was born that way," answered Maralin grand‘y. "Well, my mother told me that my hair will get curly if 1 eat lots of spinach." Judith held up a dark wisp of her straight bobbed hair, and said, "See, it curves a little on the enmds." | per "Pooh!" said Maralin, who was two years older, "that‘s nothing. . And I don‘t believe it about the spinach." "I think you‘re bold! If you don‘t believe it, we‘ll ask Teacher toâ€"morâ€" row.. Then you just wait and see! My mother wouldn‘t tell a lie." Accordingly, next day after school, Maralin, the braver of the two, apâ€" _ *"Miss Thomas," she said, "will eat ing spinach make your hair curly*" Miss Thomas looked down upon Maralin‘s blond curls and smiled. "Hardiy," she said. And then notle ing Judith in the background, "but I think straight hair is very lovely on some people." That day at lunch Judith pushed back her dish of spinach.
