The wild young animals were left to follow their own sweet wills until almost ready for the harness. Then some fine fall day men and boys gathered to do the ',breaking." It was fine for the boys, but hard on the horses. A new day has brought new idea. We believe now that the colt should be trained. He learns to cbey while young and takes up his work when old enough without fright or distress. Training has all the strong points of breaking, with none of its disadvant- ages. Especially on the small farm where only a colt or two is being raised each year the training is easy. The young- sters shouldn't be coddled or epoiled with mistaken kindness. But he should be taught that he's a horse and handled like one. Make him ac- quainted with the halter and teach ham to lead. If the small boy wants to train him for the sehool fair, all the better. It will help each young- ster—one will be a better horseman. In case the colt hasn't been handled and is wild the following method, as deetrebed in a contemporary, may be used succesefully to catch ,him. "If the colt is in a paddock or box titan, preferably the latter, take a fair- ly long tope and place a slip knot In one end and place a large loop in it. Spread this loop on the straw in the well-beddedstall, and stand back at the opposite side of the stall. The colt'a curiosity will be aroused and he will move up to the loop, and after - a little manoeuvring will place one front foot unsuspectingly in the loop. Pull the rope and tighten the loop on the fetlock of the colt Now open the the door and drive the colt out into a well -bedded or deeply-manured barnyard. One man can hold him easily. He will jump and flounder for a time. Pull the leg gently but finrely..out to the side from under the • conducted experhnents. They are con- trary to the general belief that the better tho animal is fed the better the quality of the milk produced, FARM NEWS AND VIEWS. If the facts were known, doubtless it would be found that most of the con- tamination that causes bad odors in milk and poor flavor in butter could be traced to the handling of milk be- fore It was cooled. Warm milk is food for bacteria, and so long as the milk Is exposed and warm it will likely be contaminated. Ae soon tte the milk is drawn from the cow it should be cool- ed. Even while the milking is being done the can should be covered and the milk pail, so that as little of the milk Is exposed as possible. Much will al- ways depend upon the temperature of the milk, When the temperature is lowered, danger of growth of these bacteria is reduced. When ice is avail- able, the milk may be quickly cooled, but where there is no ice more diffi- culties may be expected. Of course, the vessels must be kept clean and the milk put where It will not a.beorb bad odors. But It Must be cooled before it can be expected to be anything like free from contaminating bacteria. Sheep have always been close-graz- lug animals. Even in the days of ex- tensive- pastures, men kept sheep to utilize their pastures and rough rand. But why not raise sheep on rich, productive land? The fact that rough land with short grass may be grazed with sheep does not mean that rich land with fine grass would not be better and highly profitable. Prof. Blake, of the New Jersey ex- periment station, says that nitrogen is more marked in its effect upon peaches than phosphoric acid and potash, as commonly applied to the orchard.

Cummings.) FEED'S EFFECT ON MILK. — If your horses get sore- backs and Feed ha a very little, if any, effect tee- shoulders, it is your own fault. There on the quality of milk. By quality we is a thought in this connection that refer to the per cent. or amount of is worth while, and worth calling total solid mattei in the milk. It is a attention to. It is about those back evell-recognized fact that some feeds straps that go down to the tugs. Do ffect the flavor of milk, and possibly not try to regulate the draft by tight - to a slight extent its calor. Feeds rich ening theback-straps to the point in protein have a tendency to slightly where they will pull the tugs out of increase the percentage of fat in case line. lf they are even snug when of some cows' the same can be said hitched to the plow, they will pull of feeds rich in fat. This increase is down hard on the back when hitched probably only temporary, however, the to a harrow. The work is hard enough milk gradually coming back to its norrual composition. Animals very thin in flesh and sufficiently fed, if brought into proper condition by pro- per feed will probably yield milk of rather better quality. The improve - recut in quality will not, as a rule be very marked. The milk producing from the would-be agricultural experts functionals to a large extent under the that is just as available for practical control of the nervous system. Any farm use as Is the potash in powdered infhience that disturbs the quiet or feldspar. normal condition of the animal, be it rough usage, extremes of temperature, exposure to rain, etc., will have its ef- fect upon the quality of the milk, On the other hand, plenty of good feed in - crews the quantity of the milk until the animal reaches her maximum pro- duction. What has been said with re- gard to the influence of feed upon the quality of milk is equally true, rela- tive to the amount of butter that can be made from a given quantity of milk No method of feeding has as yet been diecovered that so improves the qual- ity of the milk as to make a given quantity of milk produce more but- ter at one time than at another. The quality of milk varies during the dif- ferent stages of lactation, but this is entirely itidependent of the influ- ence' of feed. The above statements are based on the teathings of carefully - titeward Prower and Ralph Cunuilig- tiara, two Young Englishmen, met in the gold country of Coldrado and be- came fast friends. These young men, having com- pared notes, learned that they came from eminent British families. Proger was a youuger on or a nobleman, and Cunningham claimed to be a graduate of Oxford, Besides the fact of (their being fellow countrymen, there was a strong resemblance be- tween them. They were nearly the same height and build and both light complexioned. There was one dif- ference between them, though it was scarcely noticeable. Prower's right eye was of a. slightly different shade, of blue from his left eye, But there was a great difference in the character of the two men. Howl' ard Prower was a kind-hearted, noble man; Cunningham was a devil. They prospected together for a time; agree- ing that if one struck paying dirt he would hare it with the other. Finally Cunningham dug a hole in the ground for which he was offered a hundred thousand dollars. He had no intention Of sharing it with Prower, and was de- liberating how he could beat him out of his portion when a, letter came ad- dressed to Howard Prower, Earl of Brokeffead. e'rower was away on a prospecting tour when the letter came. Both men had been away from England for ten years. If Prower were out of the Way Cunningham might return, pass him- self off for the new Earl, and thus ap- propriate the title and estates. While Ile was deliberating on this plan word was received that Prower had been attacked- by claim Jumpers and mur- dered. Cunningham went to the place where the fight had occurred and tried to find his friend's body. He was told that a number of persons had been killed in the fight and they had all been buried side by side. He was shown the graves, but saw no reason why he should exhume his friends body. Returning to his cabin, he opened the letters that had been received and learned that Prower's father and two older brothers bad been taken ill and all had died within a period of a few weeks. A month from that time Cunning- ham appeared in England and claimed to be Howard Prower, now Earl -of 13roketield, There was no one of the family to receive him except a sister of the late earl, who did not doubt that he was her nephew. No one disputed the identity of the claimant except Lady Gladya Pem- broke, the daughter of a neighboring nobleman who would have been How- ard Prower's wife except for his pbv- erty. She had not married and. when the heir returned expected a happy meeting. To play the part of her lover was more than Cunningham could ac- complisb, and she at once pronounced him etn im.aester. But notwithstanding this assertion. which was not, very largely accepted. Cunningham established himself as the Earl of Brokefield. He had played the part of a peer for four months, when Who should appear but the real Earl. Prower had been left for dead by those who had attacked him and those who had joined in his defence. Be- rore they had returned to bury the dead he had crawled away. When he had recovered he looked for his chum, but did not find him. Later he had heard of his father's and brothers' death, and at once started for Eng. land. When one day Howard Prower walked into his home and met his old friend face to face the latter turned pale. There was one of two courses which he might choose—step down and out or claim that the newcomer was an impostor. He chose the lat- ter course. He ignored his vieitor, saying that he had come to personate the real Howard Prower, but that he woujd be unable to substantiate his l'rower ; aghast at such treatment, withdrew and entered suit against the man who had usurped his title and his property. His aunt unfortun- ately adhered to the opinion that Cunningham was her nephew. This left Lady Gladys Pembroke the only witness in Prower's favor, and her evidence was not couated so valuable as that of a member of the claimant's family. Nevertheless, Lady Gladys warmly espouSed Howard's cause, and the relations of lOvens that had ex- isted before he left for Anierlen were restitned. One witness 'was found .in an old woman who had nursed Howard when he Was a baby. But she WI never seen him since that time, and her evidence Was not ceasidered of Much Value e especially since in hef old age she had Met her eyesight, However, at the trial she was called to the ttnees stand and testified as follows: "I have t ot seen. Howard Prewar since he was a baby, when I used to give hilt his bath and wheel him in hie perartibUlatOr, but if / eoUld see plainly now as then I would know him, for I noticed on him a defect I have never seen In any one else. His eyes were of a differeat shade ef blue." The two claimants Were at once 'examined carefully. Nearly all the ex- pronottnced that the nib Of Heavtrd'el right eye was slightly lighter than that of his left. This tsettled the case definitely, and he was adjudged to be the ar1 of Brokefield.

Many of the settlers are now home -visitors to their former homes, Officials asserted that in addition to the pleasures to the home-vieltors In taking a laoliday and the revenue to railways in the west, the home - visitors' are doing a great coloniza- tion work for Canada. The holidays of the home -visitors invariably lead to new settlers and the breaking of new soil, which means increased crops and additional prosperity to the west, passenger officials assert. The Diamond. The diamond is pure carbon or char- coal, but the secret processes by which nature rearranges the atoms of the black, luetreless charcoal in the flash- ing diamond is a mystery that the chemists, stimulated by the certainty of great gains provided they were successful in finding the solution, have never been Able to ,discover. Nor is it .certainly known from what depart- ment nature takes the diamond -mak- ing material.

Nature requires her subjeets to take an annual vaeatiOn, and Moulting eea- son, that begins in late summer, is the holiday time for hens. The hens atop laying and change their old fea- ther dress for it new one, requiring three or four menthe in the operation. When the hene take this vacation new laid egga are scarce and remain scarce until the pullets hatched dur- three or four months in the operation. When the Ilene take' thie caVaticn new laid eggs are scarce and remain searce until the puilete hatched during the preceding spring began to lay, The remedy Is very simple, and is under the control of the poultry man. The first step ie to have chickens hatched early, so that the pullets be- gin to Jay when the hens begin to moult. This le not difficult. Pullets of the Amerlean breeds begin laying at about seven months of age. Leg- horn pullete begin when about six monthe old. North of the Ohio River this means that all hatching must be over by ealey 1 at the latest. The best plan is to have the chickens coming at internale during, Tetarch ana Aprn. The earliest batched pullets will, of course, begin to lay first, It any of them begin to moult their places wiul ba taken by the later ones and a steady supply of eggs will be more rta The difficulty in the way of the practical application of this matter ie that so many poultry keepers are dependent on hens for Latching. As long as we have late hatched chick- ene we will have late sitters. The poul- try keeper who wante to change from the late hatching to early hatching muet therefore either get. broody bens from someone else or use an incuba- tor. After he has "changed the dates" on his flock he will have no trouble, eepecially with the American breetle. It is now little short of thirty years since the first successful trolley line was put in operation in Richmond, Va, An earlier experiment had taken place at Baltimore, but it was not until the Riehinond enterprise wan started that the trolley wan placed on a commercial basis. It had been predicted before this that electrically propelled vehicles would be found impractical when used on city streets. How completely the pessimists have been suppressed no one need now be informed. Frank J. aprague, who installed the successful system at Richmond, is still living and tn practice in this city as a civil engle neer. Nor is he yet an old Man, having been born in 1857, A writer in "Brad - street's" make e a few comments on the subject, apropos of a recent address made by Mr. Sprague at a convention in Atlantic City: ""rhe industry has prospered to such an extent that there are in terms of money, some $6000,000,000 invested in the enterprise, and the gross earninge of he induary approximate $600,000,- 000 per annum. Yet this is the indus- try M which intereet was wholly aca- demic at the time the association was organized, and, in fact, for a few years thereafter. "Indeed, these street railway men know much about horses; very little, however, did they know about the pow- erful tforce that was destined to aup- plant horses. It is related that a man who later came to be maaager of one of the large electric railways of the country thus described the motor used In the Bentley-Kneght experiments in Cleveland. "It revolved rapidly, 1,200 revolutions a minute, and I asked what sort of volcane it would make if it parted under the car, and was told pieces, would travel two or three miles. It was a sort of nitro -glycerin maga- zine." A rush to adopt electricity fol- lowed the Richmond installation, and gave the country M the four years following 1888, 900 miles, and 15 the fourteen years to 1912 more than 16,000 miles of eleetric railways."—"Literary Digest." eh • 41.

A good lien can be raised for abotit $1, ahe can be kept for one year after beginning to lay tor about $1.25, her eggs for a year, estimating twelve d.ozen at 26 cents a dozen, will be worth $3, and the hen wileee worth 50 aents when through laying at the end of her pullet ,e -ear. This is a return of $1.25 on an in- vestment of $2.25, Which is an in- crease of about 05 per cent., not count- ing labor or depreciatioa ot plant. If we count 25 cents as the cost ef caring for a hen one year and 10 per cent, for depreciation of plant there atilt remains ever 20 per centnet profit et the investment, These facts were brought out in a Miesouri experiment where fifty-five White Leghorn pullets 'Were kept for a year'e laying, all the feed. that was fed to the hem being weighed and the egga being kold at market prlees. The fifty-five hens produced twelve dozen eggs each, which were Bold for $157,17. The cost of keeping the fifty- five hens one year was $66.27, reck- oning feed prices at about average market rate in 1915, The hens. were fed a well balanced ration and had the run of a yard 100 feet equare. The price of eggs for the year averaged approximately 25 cents a dozen. From the foregoing figures it will be seen that Where one has good hens to start with and handles them properly it net profit of considerably over $1 a year each can be counted on from a flock of that size. 13u1 the Irkow how is just AS impor- tant in handling heiee for profitable BELGIAN RELIEF WORK The American members of the Com- mission for Relief in Belgium have been asked by the Germans to remain at their posts, and the work in Bel- gium is therefore proceeding under .exactly the same guarantees as hith- erto. The fact that the Commission for Relief in Belgium continues to receive large sums from the Allied Govern- ments is in itself enough to prove that they, who are most interested, have no reason to believe that Germans are directly benefiting. Furthermore, the commission have effected an arrange- ment with the British Government on one sido and the German Government on the other by which an acceptable lane for Belgian relief ships between North American ports and Rotterdam has been fixed so as to ensure the con- tinuity of supplies. The Commission for Relief in Bel- gium is facing to -day a monthly de- ficit of $3,000,000.. Hence it is more than ever in need of the full:hearted support of the public, - DON'T GET ANGRY.
