The Boy's Own Room
By Adeline B. Whitford.
C.' ....I*,
110 one can give a very god reeteen
as to why: th'e Imyts Toon as not ven-
erably as carefully 'Pleened find se
artistic as hie Meter's., but, it is .0400
to say that in nine eteres out oe 'ten,
the boys voinu in A liente 8114 nee <Mite
equal to any oif the other family bed
rooms, either in *aeon'eight or
furnishing, If et ehotild be argued
thee this room demands los thought,
Mame the owner spends so little time
then, Or that the deematios and
foniture hardly matter "because boys
ease so little for emit thinge," bothh
statemenes remain to be proven, foe
et is mete poseible that if this room
were to be plannedin detail os care-
fully as other Toms are, and the boy
were to have some share in .choosing
the decorations, and arranging the
fierneture (even makieg seine of this)
for hemsMf, be _might eueldenly.come
to feel an owner's pride in et al, 11.1
making good use of the Mime to
bring -hes belonging -s, hes vantous
led:lone met lee friends there, he
would very likelydevelop the habit' 00
spending moo rainy days andlong
evenings in this •pace, until gradu-
ally i10. good selorings and solid com-
fort would make 41 as dear to hien
as his sister's room is to her, though
it may be long years .before he under-
stands why he loves his sueroendings
or how a roones beauty end good art
care come to .mean so much• to its
ownette
We are all so made that we learn
more through oue eyes than through
our ears•'learn and remember more
frh
om wat we see than from what
any one tells ns; for this noon the
boy's room and the girl's room, their
colorings, furniture, pictures, convene
ienees and order, are fully fie impor-
tant as any -text book of the grades.
If they are well provided and in geed
taste, their rooms will ,do more to-
wards mhking young minds, bodies
and souls grow in the right •direction.
Usualey the boy's bed room de up -
sitars, ba•cle, and very often it has a
sloping ceiling and dormer windows.
Sometimes there are rafters Meowing
but it hardly matters What the first
conditions are if it has good windows,
heat, and: de net too mate the room
may easily be made attractive.
A Place to Entertain.
Girls entertain their friends down-
stairs anel in the living rooms •but the
boy's ideal room must be large enough
fer himself and his friends. The finest
poseible arrangement is found if a
large room leo an alcove for the bed,
me if a door from the. room leads out
onto an upetairs. porch and this is
used for an outdoor sleeping roam.
Either of these orrangements would
love the larger room for playroom,
gymnagium, workshop and study. No
matter how roughey finished its wales
and woodwork are, et can lee fitted' up
perfectly. •
A. boy's nem is often wrong 811 00
of two ways: , either it is furnishe
with such shabby lefteovees of .ol
furniture, nags and draperies that ei
is ashamed to bring his frienes there
or Mee it is furnished ahnost as dein
eily as his sister's room, end thee i
no cheinee in it far a group of liv
boys to have a good time. A ro-on
womewbere between these two ie the
one for wheal to seriee. If one plans
with the boy and uses suitable color
and, materials, tbe result should be a
room Where every .detail of the Mmple
durable furnishings suggests bete a
sturdy meally refinement, anel some of
the informality and freedom of camp
life. The whole ehoulcl be in keeping
with a boy's needs and use.
There should be simple, straight.
112514 furniture, in craftsinan or mission
style, but certainly not the large
heavy pieces af miseion. What is
called cottage furniture is of lighter
weight and Smeller size, more suitable
Lor the average -sized room. The most
leceseary- pieces are the single Or
tihree-quarter bed of wood or of
etraig-hteldrie metal. These are now

or plain wooden dinars peinited' in the

veniences there should be a chest of

these are the materials wbech make
the room suitaible for a boy's use.
Share iti the Planning.
As I have said, the boy himself
seould have a yeece in planning the
reem, if one expects him to take a
real interest in carieg for it. He
shelled be encouraged to express
something of his, owe tote in the
detoratione, books .ainicl furnishings,

• The Main Essentials.
At the centres of the windows thin
white or cream curtains are neces-
sary. These awe of the simplest scrim,
unbleached muslin or cheese cloth,
cut by the thread, in order to hang
well, and made to come just to the
window sill. There should be two sets
of these, changed often. The colored
side curtains are not very full, reach
a little below the sill and are tied
back with a bend of the same.
A bardwood floor oiled or varnished
and waxed or a soft -wood floor etain-
ed mid varnished or painted are equal-
ly good, but the varnish must be of
a very durable quality and the paint-
ing done in several oats. Either floor
treatment shoul(1 be allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used.
Light colored ,and weight rugs
are altogether out of place here.
O Something rather dark and heavy but
el in small sizes so as to be lifted and
d cleaned easily is the right floor coy -
e, ering. •
Good lamps are very important For
- connerteble reading and etudy, a
5 shaded table lamp is necessary, but

the TO0711 seemed have a good closet
and plenty of shell anel dett-wer room

tempt to teagh order •anti neetness. If
the closet has laundry bags, trouser
hooks, coat hangers, tie rack and
shoe-blaciring outfit; the washstand
its towel rack, bath mat, tooth pow-
der, soaps end slaying materials; the

clothes and room ein order ought to
follow teaterally, -
Loeig window seats alley have

Don't Forget the Desk. .
Very early in the boy's life he
should own a solid little writing -desk
fitted with all the conveniences for
letter writing Bad 113 after years his
long newsy letters from college or his

Ansi just here one may well sug-

Buying Cows at Auction.
When a korner sells- a cow from
his herd at a private sale he seldom
wishes to .sell one of the best cows
hi Ins herd. At on auction sale he
often cleees out ids herd and the
buyer has' a chance to obtain the best
cows M the herd. Then it pays to
go to the farm at least a couple of
hours before the sole ,and look over
the COWS that are ee special interest
Sometimes the inex,peolenced buyer
can obtain help from some dairy
fanner who knows good cows. But
be careful he obtaining 'such informa-
tion not to try and get it from other
bidelos on the same andmals. It is
not to their advantage to encourage
rival bids on cows they wish to buy.
Beeore attending te pure -fined eale
it helps to obtain a catalogue and give
the pedigeees careful stmiy to see how
they will match up with cows in the
home heed. The31 their value can be
estimated. This may save errors at
the sale when the mind is, sometimes
confused by the crowd ,and the raped
change of animals in the rig and the
talk of the auctioneer. Many a buyer
has been influenced too much by the
auctioneer and gono home feeling
rather depressed at the price paid
far certain etack. 21 45 better to know
youe own punse and buy judiciously.
DO net pay too nreeli attention to
the records of distant relatives in a
cow's pedigree. Moat any cow of any
breeding at all can have the mime
of some good 0110 ill leer pedigree if
epeego ear enough back. T•his does
not mean that seal a Ow- may not
be fine. But it pays to kn.ow some-
thing about deer close relatives and
her vigor. I believe a ow ds no good
if she lacks vigor and breeding NW -
ere regarcleees of how many fine cows
are in ber pedigree. The firmer buy-
ing pure-bred cows at election is buy-
ing mere than the animal on which the
bids. He is buying 'seed, stack. The
purchase is not only the one cow but
the &Alice ef ptoducing many mere
leke that eow from her and her daugh-
ter, ante so on 01e3371 the line. So the
vigor ot the c•ow is of great impale
taneo.
When buying cows at neighbor-
hood sales lb is often possible to learn
considerable about the best eows iu
the herd by visiting the barn et milk-
ing time tieveral cleys before the eale.
Then 1..1 is peseeble to see the eowe

,temount of milk producee and see how
they look 'after being milked. This
information will be valetable when the;
bidis are rolling' in end a man is in
doubt as to the cash value of a certain
cow.
It is .tile.o useful .to see those cowe
before they are fitted for the ring, A

Why His Berries Won.
Not many years ago a gardener
know, named Brown, determince to
put mie over on the weather man -and,
eor once, to raise some really 111077»
strous blackberries.. That. kering he
rigged up an irrigation system to use
es soon as dry weather showed up.
The canes flowered profusely, and a
bumper crop of :berries set on. When
dry weather came, the -gardener set
his windmill goiag. Whenever the
moisture -get low, the patch got a geed
welting, and the berries flourished.
At marketing time BTOIAGI sopposed
his berries were the hest in the sec-
eion, so he set his price a little above
the mancet and began to brag. Cuse
tomers came, looked, and went away
empty-tvandect. After a little he learn-
ed what was the matter. A few miles
away another gardenee, named
Thompson, hied berries of the same
variety that were just a little bigger
and nicer than his, and he was selling
them for less money. Finally an irate
customer told my friend what he
thought about it.
"What's the reason you are charg-
ing three cents more a quart than
Thompson, -when bis berries ave big-
ger and nicer and better Reverse] than
yours?" he said.
"His berries aren't bigger and IlieCT
and better flavored than mine," Brawn
hotly replied. "They- can't be. I've
gone to a big expense to irrigate these
berries, and there hasn't been a day
when they lacked water, It takes
plenty of wetter to make blackbeeries.
I'm the only one around who has irri-
gated. I have fertilized my berry
patch and kept et in the best condi-
tion. This other ine01 simply can't
have better berries then I've gat."
"Yes, they are; and if yeti don't be-
lieve it jump in the buggy with me,
and I'll take you mit there and prove

astonished to fin11 long canes loaded

more canes and more berries per cane

it. The berries were a little bigger,
too, and were selling- at three cents a

A great -many people On the train
the other day were both amused and
horrified at a young women. She had
a little hey and she shook him been-
lerly every fifteen minutes just on
general principles.
The little boy's gravest offence was
wiggling. And so with each shake
would come "sit still." The youngster
was ebout four -a little boxed -hair,

We Rem -lied and got mad in term,
because it was so fearfully silly for
entyone to .eunitie a child on general
peineteles; and y-eb it occurred to 1110
as we sped through the April sun-
shine that mote children are brought
up in this way than in any other. For
instionee, if you would take a census
of the vocabularies bf ali moitileers it

had dared to go to the lady with the

the slightest doubt that an uproar in

it is thoroughly possible that that
young woman had no more the right

to say "don't" rod; "don't" go to
your mother's house over the week-
end and saMe yourself the trouble of
cooking the Sunday dinner?
Even this surmise is unfair in its
:comparison with the little -boy. To
squirm is not to sin, What healthy
youngster oe foul: can tit through a
two-hour train Tide without meying

little chap explained away the shak-
ings in his small mind When they
were administered he looked bewikier-

thought that WRS the way things were
in the world and he had to put up with
them. Little boys had to be "etiook"

a splendid way to breale a child's spir-
