pecially toward spring, from other

fact, if scab is present the animals
are just as liable to lest their wool

and pull etr wool, :IS' no evidence that
they are bothered with seab, aa they

to pass on to his boys.
Right in line with this, the farmer
may tell his boy how to grow every
crop that is native to the part of the
country -where he lives and lead the
way to M successful marketing. We
are laying out here a big life for the
farmer who is a, father, and that is
what we hold every farmer Ts worthy
of doing and being. There is no
greater work than that of being, a
fine, all-round farmer; and the father
who asks himself what he can do for
his boy can trake no more satisfac-
tory answer than to say, "I will help
him to know the farm from beginning
to end."
Finally, the farmer who wants his
boy to win out and love the farm can-
not do better than to give him a
chance to operate every machine on
the farm. Boys have a natural lik-
ing for machinery. It fascinates
them to study and handle tools of all
kinds. They do not like to feel that
they are not permitted to know the
"feel" of the binder, the gasoline en-
gine or any other farm implement.
And it certainly is not the part of
wisdom to keep them in ignorance of
these tools; for the time will collie
when the father will not be able to
do the week that needn to be done. It
may be cit aceount of. tstdc.ness or-abe
sauce -from home, some crop will need
attention. The boy is there, and
ready to do what must be dote; but
what if he doe e not understand the
workings of the particelar implement
that inuet be called into operation?
He may think, "I can do this. I'll
try it." But he takes ,the matter up
with something of fear and trembling
after fail. '- Things start-theu they
stop! Something gives way. A
valuable 'machine is injured, it may
be poiled. All for lack of the need-
ed instruction while father was at
home or able to show his by what to
de. Many a fine implement has been
thus damaged, and it may be the boy
conies in for a scolding that will never
be forgotten, hut which may lead to a
lifelong estrangement.
Far better would it be for ;the fath-
er to say, as soon as his boy is old
enongtit and strong enough to handle
the vatrionis:IParin machines, 94iirrala,
now, my lett!, Come and take your
first -lesson in using this tooll o
show you What to doe Climb right un

eucoikaged, lithe boy feels 'confidence in
himself and Sakes held of things fear-
lessly. Father is near and if
thing goes wron be,u 1.11 help otit.
Not enly is a geed working ;knowledge
of the different 'tools gained, but the
tie of affection bnding father and
son is strengthened.

the area of the pupil may be dull,
grey or glistening white, or black or

If the lens swell as the eatareet

R is important to wait until the

treatment by massage is likely to do
more harm than good.
There have been eases in which the

ly but these are the rarest of excep-
tions.

It pays to bendethe liens that are
to be hall over for breeders eo that
the next year they can be distinguish-
ed from the pullets. Otherwise good
pullets may be maa:koted for old hens
and some of the old ;hens may be re-
tained for, a year longer than it is
profitable to keep them on the farm.
If you are raising pure-bred poultry
and have a surplus to sell in the fall,
do not market them lia,sti.ly with the
ideal butcher but find out if the neigh-
bors need good foundation stock of
your Particular breed. Very frequent-
ly many ef the year-old hens can be
sold as breeders near home at a price
twice as high as they wilt ;bring on
the market. A sign by the side ef
the road will be peolitable. ...elf there
is a large fleck to sell, advertising in,
lotal papers and farm jot:Trials will be
profitable. When developing a poul-
try businees it pays' to ;study the laical
demands and supply them .wheneirer it
is possible. •
A price of $10 is not too much to
pay for a cockerel of a fine extfibition
or brei -bo -lay ,etrain. Tlie :Carmel'
Who makes such' a purchase is not
only buying one bird but all the ;skill
that'the breeder has used in produc-
ing it, ;and also all of tho iinercie-e-
ment which can be made in the home
nook during, the next two or three
years.
Farmers buying fine cookerels TOT
breeding purp,osee - ;should strive to
save the best of the year-old hens to
use in the eget ,spring'si matings. Too
much emphasis cannot be placed on
the value ef a good male but at the
same time it is the hees that lay the
eggs arid they should be vigorous
birds Of excellent producing ability.
It hardly pays to buy a good cockerel
arid lige it with hone lacktrag in vigor'.
It is no Muth better to give itig.3 male
the - beat possible chance to produce
good results and thus it is neceseary
to use care in selecting the hens.
