By MARGARET I do not want you to question, •what. I say, Robert; if 1 tell you to, do a thing you don't need to know the! 'reason why,"said a mother the other' 1 day. I wondered what the child thought.! Did he get the idea, as many a child' has done, that because Mother was a big lady and he was a little boy, she could make. him do things when- ever she wanted to? 1 heard a, young mother say the other day, "Oh, 1 am 80 afraid I won't, underetand Teddy, he is such a queer; child," and I thought,: ."It would be, much better for you to be concerned about whether Teddy will always un -1 derstand you," Do you not believe that much of the disobedience and the seeming in- difference of ehildren comes because they do not understand older people? Parents so often demand blind obedi- ence, and the child often grasps only unreasonableness and injustice. "Let's make the room tidy for Daddy, Bobby," is much better than "Pick up your toys at once," In the former case, the child has been given a rea- son for what he is required to do, and so the request appeals to him. Older people are often real enigmas to these little tots; whoconte out of 'their dream world to bump• against requests of ours that eeerrr useless to. them, Blind• obedteuce'fulfills only the letter of the law. Obedience with, understanding to back it makes of the baby child a 'co-operative being. I You will flnd'it Helpful to ask your;! self daily: "Does my baby grasp whai:i I mean?" "Does he get the idea back! of that request?" "Does his child mind wonder at my actions?" I take more time to explain and have less desire to command?" Wo should lead instead of drive,; give the reason with the command' and question the clulrl's understand- ing. A mother may thus avoid both misunderstanding and being misun-' derstood by her own baby, who un-! doubtedly wonders at the doings of all grownups. A School- Lunch Garden. Now that many schools are serving the hot lunch at the neon hour, it will t be wisdom on the mothers' part to i prepare for it in advance. While planning and planting the garden we may take the first steps in; preparation for it. Many of the lunches now being served to school' children consist of soups calling main- ly for vegetables. Plant a few extra rows of those vegetables which are used in the soup -making. Carrots, ekra and sweet peppers aye nice in sorkp. Most of the gardens I have seen are large enough to take care of an extra number of cans of vegetables. So, for a good many people, beginning at the canning season is soon enough to begin preparations. Canning a num- ber of jars of sottp mixtures simpli- fies the work at the schoolhouse next winter. These are so handy to put up, too, as often one may use odds Land ends of vegetables. In the fall, when you kill a beef, put up several extra jars of stock for CONN Rl1OAD$. • the soup -making, •.Ilon't waste a Weigle bone that has a scrap of meat or bit of marrow in it, but • boil every one :and can lite stock. I use a pressure cooker for tide purpose,. I havet the hones cut up pretty well, These I put Irl the cooker with only a little water, then run the pressure up to about fifteen pounds and -cook for abouttwenty minutes. . Then I put this stock in giese jars and pro, case as with other things, By the way, these banes which I then take from the cooker are perfectly soft in texture and I pound thorn up for the ahiekens to eat. This work of providing the mater- ial for the hot lunches is an excellent • work for girls' canning clubs to take up, Perhaps even the boys might be interested in helping more with the garden work during the eummer-time if they know that a lot of things were going to be put up for making good lunches for them next winter. I think this preparedness of the first order. This idea was carried out in one county, when the mothers put up enough soup mixtures to serve hot lunches to their school children al1 winter. Mrs, I.J.N. Dollars and Sense. I have often wondered if, the dress- maker's viewpoint would be of inter- est to others—women who can sew and women who cannot sew. During ten years of dressmaking, I have been more and more amazed at the neglect of small things, which mean so much economy in sewing. In children's garments especially do I notice extravagance. It is a' case of dollars and no sense when ehf1- dren's clothes are made with no means of enlarging as the child grows. I em a mother and I find I can realize a worthwhile saving by plan- ning my youngsters' clothing so as to secure more than a season's wear. Do not select extreme styles for your little girl's dresses. The ex- treme things soon go out of style; moreover, the simple dresses are more practical. Shrink all wash goods before cut- ing.. It is easy to shrink and set the color at one operation. A. large hand- ful of table salt to each half gallon of water—lukewarm to start and gradually heated as hot as your hand can bear—will work wonders. I use a tablespoonful of vinegar, in addi- tion to the salt, to set pinks. In each case keep the goods moving, rinse well and dry in the shade. A tuck may be concealed under the hem of a dress in case of a beltless dress, or where large tucks are used' allow ono inch or more on front and back' at shoulder seam, rinjah up the garment as usual, and then melee a smooth tuck on each shoulder, tack- ing it down well, It takes but a few moments to lengthen the petticoat, when needed, by ripping out the tucks, Do not discard your little girl's drese with the hemstitched hem be- cause it has •becometoo short, Cut the wrong aide of the hem loose all the way around, oil .incl+ below the line of hemstitching. Use a piece of the seine material a: which the hem is made, cut the width you wish to lengthenthe dress, allowing for, Beams. Sew this strip onto she bottom, as if you were facing the dress, turn the }tern and whip the feebrg piece to the one inch of material you left in cut-; ting the hem loose. When pressed , you cannot tell that the dress has been changed, as you still have a hem-' stitched hem. i Children's garments are apt to need repairs very early in their. .career, New patches en an old apron, or dress are often too conspicuous.; Mahe the sash longer than needful,i so that when a patch is wanted, it, can be cut from the sash, which will! 1. have faded with the dress.

S. ALEX A large percentage of cows drop their calves in May. When calving time approaches the owner of a cow naturally becomes anxious, for ap- parently the finer the cow the more liable she is to go wrong at calving time, and the more careful will have to be her handling. The most -common causes of trouble at calving time are hot, badly venti- lated or damp stables, overfeeding, and lack of exercise. Opposite con- ditions, such as underfeeding, expos ere anti inadequate shelter else cable trouble. Disease also causes many, lasses. Every cow should come to the calving time with her muscles in strong Condit}on and her bowels ac- fives b tabby muscles and const}pa- tlon spell certain difficulty in calving. Thefat, constipated, pampered cow really is weak and can not well with- stand the trial of calving. The thin, half-starved cow that has been ex- posed to all of the inclemencies of the weather Is in just etc poor condi- tion to endure calvinee. Her calf is likely to be small and weak, while the calf of the pampered cow may either. be fat, flabby and weak, or puny and unable to survive. The diseases moat likely to cause loss of'the cow at the time of calving, or soon afterward, ere tuberculosis, contagious abortion, infection and arute forms of rnam- mitis, or inflammation of the udder. To prevent trouble at calving time every cow should he "dried off" in milk secretion for at least six weeks before salving, and during the six weeks should be made to take daily exercises in the open air, or in a big • shed if the weather ie stormy.
