As hospeaks, a slight smile touches the corners of his serious mouth as he relicts how entirely easy it Is to com- ply with a request not to urge Byngei suit upon its object, an how cheaply a character for 'magnanimity may some- times be bought.

Many farmers do not realize 1tte !m- pertance of feeding their stock t '+e- gutar hours, but it Ls of greel import- ance. Take a lot of begs which have to wait alter their regular time for feed and how rostle.es and noisy they Le- conte. And what is true of them is true in a great measure of other animals. The man who Ls regular nt his hul►its, eating at a regular hour, will, olher things being equal, thrive lest and 1 e healthiest and strongest; and what it true of man in this regard is corre- spondingly true of the lower animnlso. A farmer can t•oadily get into the habit of feeding his stock regularly and they will learn to expect it nt a regular limo' and rest patiently until the next feeding period conies about. Experi- ments In this direction would soon salts- fy the utast doubting person of lite truth of the value of regularity in feeding. LOSS 01?
