The first thing to do is to have the stable well lighted and well ventilated. This allows the cow to function nor- melly.

So vital are these vitamines that it was observed in the great war that soldiers having a ration contain- ing butter recovered from ' their Wounds much sooner than those de- prived of butter.

How many of you will believe me when T say that a Bolt can be trained e in eight hours? I hear a few say "I do"; °a lot say "1 don't;" and the rest ask "Just what do you mean by train- ed?" By "trained," I mean just what a lot of people mean when they say "well broke." In other words, a well- trained colt is one that will go steady, stop and back at command without the aid of whip or lines. He will not shy of balk, or attempt to run away if you want to catch him in the pas- ture, all you have to do is to get close enough to speak naturally and say "come here," and he will follow you to the barn. That seems quite a lot for a colt to learn in eight hours, but I know what I am talking about when I say it can , be done, because I've done it. But here's the point I wish to make em- phatic: A colt can not be trained in one day, or two or three days; but give him on an average of an hour a day for eight days, and the rest of the time to himself, and you can work wonders with him. But right there is where the aver- age farmer or his helper falls down in colt training. They give him too long lessons. They don't seem to realize that his brain is receiving impressions for the first time, and like any unused muscle of the body, ,it tires very quick- ly. When once the brain and the nerves which convey the impression to it become weary, they refuse to work properly and the colt ceases to Tears. He begins to get slow, and if the lesson is prolonged, it does more harm than good. Teach him one thing at a time, and as soon as you are sure he has caught the point of the lesson, put him away for the day and let it "soak in." It is not uncommon to hear a farm- er say: "I thought that young colt of mine was going to be a bad one, but once we got him hooked up, he went A Cloak for Brides.

Once there was a little gray pony which longed 'to go to the great city and see all the sights. He had often set out in gay spirits, prancing this way and prancing that way, but he had never gone anywhere near the great city. - One day when he was prancing this way and prancing that way he heard a great sound. For an instant he stopped and listened. The sound came from the swaying branches of an oak tree. "Where do you want to go, little gray pony?" it asked. "To the great city to see all the sights," replied the little gray pony and began to prance again. "Very well," said the great oak tree. "Stop prancing this way and that way and go straight ahead. Then you will surely find the great city and see all the sights." "Thank you," said the little gray pony. "I will do it." But he didn't do it at all. He kept right on prancing this way and that way, and so of course he didn't reach the great city that day or see any of its fine sights. A second day the little gray pony heard another great sound as he was prancing this way and that way. He pricked up his ears and stopped again. Was he hearing sounds from the great City? No, it was the great voice of the sea as its waves splashed noisily on the shore. ` "Where do you want to go, little gray pony?" it asked. "To the great city to see all the sights," replied the little gray pony. "Very good," answered the great sea, "but you must stop prancing this way and that •way and go straight ahead. Then you will certainly comer to the great city and . see all the sights." "Thank you very much," said the little gray pony, "I will do it." But he didn't do it at all.

Let me get on your back and I will guide you straight ahead, and then we shall surely come to the great city." So the little gray pony let the child climb upon his back, and together they went straight ahead until at last they reached the great city and saw all the wonderful sights.—Mary L. T. Tufts in Youth's Companion. An Ounce of Prevention and a Pound of Cure. A certain farmer, who returned home from town one day to find his six-year-old son at the top of the wind- mill, ind mill, prevented the repetition of this dangerous feat by cutting the lower section from the ladder and providing it with hooks by which it could be sus- pended out of reach of the youngsters. The hooks were attached to the up- per end of the section so that they would engage one of the ladder -rungs above, and the piece was suspended at a height where it could be easily reached and lowered by a grown man, but in such a position that youthful acrobats would be discouraged in at- tempts to climb.
