THE ALAMANCE GLEANER.
Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A..NYB.
THE HOMELY GIRL.
The homely girl to ft fine girl.
By homely I mean plain of feature
a contrast with the pretty girl.
The handsomfe girl la apt to be ca
prlcioua and exacting, demanding
more than abe la willing to give—'"un
certain. coy and hard to please." The
Homely girl la apt to he sympathetic
ind kindly.'s
The homely girl knows ahe eannot
win by the arts of coquetry and there
fore cultivates simplicity and gncious
iess. She to genuine, congenial,
thoughtful of others, qualities that are
likely to win over mere prettineas.
"Beauty is only skin deep." Gra
tiousnesß is soul deep.
Men may admire the handsome girl;
they dote on the handsome ways of
the homely girl.
More than mere beauty, which
makes Its Impression for the moment,
ts the homely girl's desire to please
3r help or forgive, her sense of sym
pathy. her hearty manner of com
radery.
The homely girl makea an ideal
sweetheart.
She uses no special arts to beguile,
ghe offers herself for what she is.
She does not flirt. She to stanch and
dependable. She is not difficult to
please. She to a safe counselor and
will keep your secrets.
The homely girl makes a good wife.
When she to called upon to meet the
test of wifehood and motherhood she
will take np her task cheerfully. Un
like the handsome wife, who may in
dulge in sighs for romance situations
or who may complain that she to not
"understood," the homely woman
looks her duties faltly in the faco
without fuss and without nonsense.
The homely wife looks out for no
conquests abroad, but -glories in her
home. She wraps her soul like a man
tle about her husband and her chil
dren.
The handsome wife may have the
weakness df vanity -and because of
her desire to be admired may some
times stumble, even fall. Danger
goes with beauty.
All hall the girl and woman!
She may not be beautiful In face and
figure, but she grows more beautiful
in mind and heart a* the days go by.
The heart of her lover and her hus
band may safely conflde In her.
The homely girl is ft fine 'girl.
ABUSE OF THE HORSE.
Do not shout In the ear of your
horse.
A scientist tells us the ear of the
horse to extremely sensitive. If you
yell at him you spoil the animal. (
Which is good sense.
If you shout in a harsh, loud tone
at the horse be will come to look for
such an outburst from you, and be
will make an extra effort of- strength
only when you make an extra effort
with your voice.
The low tone, siioken positively but
kindly, is sufficient.
You- may make of your horse an in
telligent, faithful ally or a sullen,
sensitive brute. You can make him
your partner or your slave.
I saw a fine thing last winter.
A teamster stopped his horses for ft
rest at the bottom of a long bill. The
load of coal was a heavy one. When
be got ready to start up the hill the
driver spoke in a low, encouraging
tone:
"Come, Billy! Now. Tom?'
Ton should hate scan those Jug—.
pull! Twice the driver stopped on the
hillside, "chucking" the hind wheel of
the wagon with a piece of wood. Once
he gave each animal a friendly pat. and
they looked at him out of their kind
ly, gentle eyes as at a friend.
That driver understood his bones
and they him. He had only to sug
gest and they responded with every
ounce of force they could command.
A Kentucky owner of a "big string"
of thoroughbreds permits no unkind
word to be spoken to any of them.
A harsh utterance by any employee to
followed by Instant discharge.
The driver who yells at hto hone as
If the latter were deaf confesses
thereby bis tack of horsemanship. The
man who curses his horses Is a tyrant,
and the man who beats tbem la a
brute.
Do you know what I sometimes
wish? r
When I nee a violent and cruel own
er or driver of one of God'* noblest
gifts I wish tbe theory of transfiilgrs
tlon of soul■ were true—that til* In
human driver might be ehln(iff tnto •
horse, compelled to wear an iron bit
In his mouth, bis delicate ears assail

strain of tbe load behind him. upon
his back know the sting of tbe cruel
lasb.
Treat your horse aa yon, were you a
borse, would want to be treated.
DISILLUSIONED.
Some time ago I made a visit to a
town where forty years ago I lived aa
• lad for three yesro-tbroe happy
years.
Almost I could wUh I bad not made
tbe trip.
I wanted to see tbe rivsr what* I
bad gona swimming In summer and
abated In winter, a wonderfully big
river, so wide that only Tom Smith
of all the gang waa able to swim serosa
It
A dwindled strsam, a thing of potto
and shallows and stretches of sand—
that was once the Wabash!
Driving upstream to see tbe
grove" that waa "lust around tbs
band," 1 toand only a cornfield. Below
the town only a tow stumps rota shied
of what waa "the old mUL"
X could kavs cried.
Even tbe big achoolbouse on the bill,
wMek, with its anWdoos cupola, waa
the pride of the town, bad bean rased
and a modern atrncture was going ap.
And on tbs lot where w* played "town
ball" and "bull pan" and -hat MT
stood tho new lnterurtan depot
1 began to Inquire about soma of the
bgyi ux* f wi fcwm. 1
"Dead" • • • "Moved to Nebraska
yean ago." * • * "Uvea somewhere la
California." • • • "On a farm eight
miles east of here." • * * "Met a man
who broke her heart." • • • "Dead."
• • • "Somewhere in Chicago."
So ran the answers.
I inquired if any one remembered the
son of a certain Itinerant preacher.
One old man said this one was a mis
chievous lad and he opined
ed out bad." I had not the heart to
tell him I was the lad. *
I felt like one who had looked at a
fair mirage which had lifted in midair
and disappeared. Disillusioned and
strangely saddened, I took the first
train out
1 remembered what Co nan Doyle
told his friend.
Doyle advised his friend never to "go
back to Heidelberg." He himself had
gone back to the old town where b
had studied and dreamed and loved
only to And the grand old buildings
shrunken in slxe and the old streets
that had been so picturesque and full
Of romance dirty and commonplace.
A sweet memory was spoiled.
It must be so.
Change and decay are written upon
all things, and-the picture of memory
Is not the picture of present reality.
Besides—
tVo ourselves have changed. We
have outgrown ourselves. We have
lost the 'angle from which we once
looked. It requires so much now to
make us happyl
We vainly dream.of the places where
once w# were "so happy and so free."
WHAT A WOMAN BID.
"Onions!" '
Thus exclaimed Mrs. Edward .C.
Dodd, widow, when she looked across
a waste of chaparral in Texas. It lisd
belonged to her husband and was her
only possession.
There were Just 326 acres of this
wild, cactus producing land. But—
Mrs. Dodd had the genius which cre
ates things. She saw a vision of long
rows of growing stuff. In ber dream
the brown stretch of chaparral
changed In to —
"On lons t"
But bow make ber dream come true?
She had no money. She bad what was
better than money—faith.
Somehow she communicated this
faith to a mm who agreed to dear
and cultivate oovoulj seres, taking as
his share one- half the flwt #rop.
It seems incredible, bat eft tb«t vir
gin soil Mm Dodd realised from the
big crop o' pungent Benautlos tbe
sum of (82,000.
Well—
The next year heavy rains ruined
tbe crop and Instead of making mon
ey Mrs. Dodd lost *I,OOO.
Quit!
A lot of people did quit raising on
ions, but not Ml*. Dodd. She Bpent
about all the money she had made
tbe first year in building hogs ware
houses and packing sheds where the
vegetables could be stored so that
they would not 'be suHSBSd b/ the
rains.
And then-
Next season perverse nature refused
all rains, And tbe drought mined tbe
crop.
Tbe cumulated wee of those two
disastrous seasons drove many a man
"back to his wife's folks."
But this plucky woman, why-
She Installed a pump to bring the
water from the nearby 810 Grande riv
er. It did not work welL She substi
tuted electric power and now Is Inde

Two years ago the crop brought her

giving Mrs. Dodd the title of the "on
ion gueen of Texas."
Moreover—
While otber farmers complained of
tbe shlftleasness of the* "greasers,"
Mrs. Dodd haa 900 of tbem on ber 229
aero ranch—every one a loyal Mexican
laborer. Mrs. Dodd built tbem cot
tages Instead of shacks, employs s free
physician and maintains a school for
tbelr children.
Occaalonally you find a sapient in

"deficient in reaaoning power."

PROFIT IN FARM
REEF PRODUCTION
To produce beef on the farm I be
lieve that the farmer must raise bis
own cattle. There la too much haz
ard ID buying cattle to feed. To raise
cattle for feeding there are three ma
jor Items for consideration—first, pas
ture and feed. These must be provid
ed, writes T. G. Haney In Kansas
Farmer. Pasture, when property ban
died, is tbe most economical feed for
stock and can be made to rebuild tbe
soil at tbe same time.
Second consideration Is the cows.
To get together a profitable herd of
beef producing cows 1 believe will be
more difficult than getting a dairy
herd and will take longer. A twenty
five cent pair of scales will tell you
within a month or so after tbe cow
comes fresh whether she will be a
profitable milker or not. But wltb tbe
beef cow the calf must be put on feed
to determine whetber she will be a
profitable producer or not Wltb tbe
beef cow the question of the proper
type to cross to be made also enter*.
Also I believe that a cow may not
produce ber best calves while young.
Next come tbe bulls. Here again is
a hard proposition. None of us will
buy a poor fleshed bull, and we can
not tell by looking at the fat bull
whether he put tbe fat- on easily or
whether it took • skilled feeder
months to put It on. Two years ago
I bought MS bulls for our herd, most-

who. havlns an excellent knowl

ital to obtain animals of hi sheet
quality. The great popularity of
the.breed is a credit to the Scotch
breeders who developed It. Indeed,
lea* than 100 yeari ago the Aber

culiarities now considered charac
teristic. was not In sxlitence. It Is
but little more than a quarter bf a

could. Judging by uppearauces In the
ring und stall. 1 got one that will
hardly fatten In tbe feed lot. 1 got
another that Is In good shape all the
time, u hustler In every sense. We
put tbe bulls on feed after taken from
' pasture to (ret them up lu shape, and,
while they are thinner than when they
went on tbe pasture, the good feeder
very soon gets back In shape. The
one has made more than twice the
gain that tbe other hss this fall.
Every farm should have a small
herd of beef cattle to eat up tbe rough
age. or wbat may be called waste ef

they will make a profit ent ofjvasto

COMPROMISE

It may be the Widow Sharon imag
ined a good deal of it bnt when ahe
moved over to the village of Valley
Stream It aeemod to her that tbe peo
ple thereof greeted ber in an oftlsh
manner.
All vlilagee have their Customs. The
custom In Valley Stream, and one tbat
had prevailed for a quarter of a cen
tury, wua for a newcomer to at once
state certain facts to Deacon Horner.
If It was n widow shs was expected
to state ber sge. ber income, ber inten
tions ' regarding s second marriage,
whether or not ber £te husband died
happy, to what church ab« belonged,
her attitude In regard to cburch af
fairs slid picnics. If she attended the
circus and whether she was going to
live extravagantly or economically.
The deacon bad alwaya taken It upon
himself to act as Inquisitor and then
go from bouse to bouse and spread tM
news. He guve tbe Widow Sharon
three days to get settled snd then
called.
Tlion and' there tbe good rnuu re
ceived tbe surpass of his life. He had
scarcely propounded question No. 1
when the widow replied:
it I* none of your business!"
Deacon Ilorner bad never been
bslked before, und It vexed him.
The widow had brought four hogs
with ber, huvlug.beeu.a farmer's wife,
and two days after the deacon's'call
one of those bug* enme snd rubbed
against his front gats.
Deacon Horner lifted up a rock and
baited tbat bog. The bog was hurt
and ran away squealing. A boy told the
Widow Sharon of It, and she put on
her hat and went straight to s Justice
of tbe peace and got out s summons
for malicious cruelty to animals.
There was a state law covirtng the
esse, and tbs deacou waa fined 110 and
costs. (
It may be remarked again that Dea
con Horner waa a good man. but tbsra
Is a limit to goodnaas, Not that same
hog. but another of tbe widow's flock,
got luto the deacon's cow lot There
was uotblug for blm to damage, bat
tbe widow was sued for trespass sad
bad to pay (3 damages. Bb* paid It
and waited, if*you will watt long
enough II cow will get Into your garden
and devour your cabbages. In thl* In
stance it was the deacon's, cow. VJu
there was another suit for trespass,
and tbe deacou waa mulcted. Did h*
forgive tbe widow and promise tbat
bis cow should be good In future? He
didn't He aaid to biniself that he
would bring that defiant widow low.
All of a midden tbe village of Vallay
Stream began aaklng about the last
hours of the dsfunct Farmer Sharon.
It waa said (but he died of heart dis
ease after a quarrel With his wlfs
about another man. ' Perhaps the wid
ow was not actually a murderess, but
she was very close to It Sbb heard
tbe story, snd ibe set oat with an iron
Jaw on ber 'to run it down. In twen
ty-four hours ibe had.it fastened on
the good deacofi snd hsd begun a suit
for slander. Duacon Horner made out
not to care, but when his lawyer cam*
to Investigate he was more than will
ing to settle for «100. Mr. Sharon
bad not died from heart disease, bat
from the kick of a horse.
Then the fiKilling widow had to go
aud put ber foot lu it la some way
she Isamod that Daacoo Homer hadn't
paid, hi* paw runt for fourteen y*sr»
and tbst bsliad passed a bad two dol
lar bill on windmill man. Sba was
Indlacroet enough to repeat this, and
the flrat thing sba knew tbe deacon
was after bar. As a matter of fact
bis pew root was all paid ap. and bs
bad the receipts to show. And as for
tbe bad- bill. It was a wlnOmlll man
who had stuck him. The widow bad to
give back tbat 9100 to settle tbe esse.
By this time there wssnt a family In

Why more farmers do not make a
specialty of raising swine la a mys
tery to me, and why more of tbem do
not cb«ose tbe thoroughbred Instead
of the scrub is still u greater mystery,
writes a Pennsylvania bog grower In
Farm Journal. It coats no more to
! feed a thoroughbred than a grade or
ecrub—ln fact, uot so much—and Its
progeny Is alwaya worth several dol
lars apiece more for breeding purposes
than those of no particular breed.
I aim to get my spring pigs on pas
ture as soon as'possible. An sere of
alfalfa ought to support twenty pigs
through five or six months in tbe yesr.
Clover will do nesrly as well. Hut
It ts a good plau to provide some other
pasture tor early spring snd Isle sum
mer. For the spring there ts nothing
better than rye. I'lgs farrowed lu
March can be turned Into tbe rye with
their mothers ss soon ss they are old
enough fu follow, and In a (aw
will learn to cut.
Iu the full when the clover and alfal
fa have become dry and woody I feed
fodder coru which' hna not been plant
ed so thick ihui it will not grow a
targe percentage of ears. This I feed
in tbe pens In addition to a thin slop
of corumeal and middlings. Tbe com
mesl Is fed sloppy and sparingly at
first, but gradually Increased until the*
are getting all they will clean up three
times a day 1 use plenty of water at
firat to make a thin slop, but later use'
only enough to make a erumply dough.
Having no pasture for my fall pigs I

order to grow a strong, thrifty hog
with plenty of stamlua and muscle you
have got to rive blm a bulky food In
connection with the concentrate, the
same aa you do other stock.
I do net do aa the majority of feed
ers do—feed the etftlre clover or altalfa
—as I find ihey waste too much, and
I never linve any to waata. All hay
Is well shaken lu the barn floor before
It Is thrown down tbe cbutes for
horses and csttle. Tbsse blossoms and
leaves an swept up dally and sacked,
and later taken to tbe bog entry. A
quantity of these leaves and blos
soms Is mixed with cornmsal and mid.
dllngs sud thoroughly wet with hot
water.
I never knew what it was to have
fall pigs that would actually grow un
til I began using tbe foregoing meth
od of feeding. They are compelled to
chew tbe food Which. If fed In slop,
they would culp down in a few min
utes. The large quantities of mix
ture s thriving liunch of shotes will
consume dslly would maks some of
those fellows who laugh at the Idea
of feeding hay to bogs open their
eyes.

Blood Was Wrong
All women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due
to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable,
scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly,
yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system,
relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system,
and toning up the nerves. During the past half century,
thousands of Ladies have written to tell of die quick curative
results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine.
CARDUI^
Mrs. Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for
nearly ten years. In a letter from White ville, N. C, ate
says: M I was not able to do my own housework. My
stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back
ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, bat flfty
'did me no good. 1 used Cardui for 3or 4 months, and mam
lam iti the best health I have ever been. I can never prate
Cardui enough." It is the best tonic, for women.
Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try CarduL
