One of the first requirements for suc- cess in this direction is the selection of early -hatched pullets and the .sec- and is the provision of comfortable winters' quarters, while the matter of regularity' in feeding should receive as much attention as that of providing a sufficiency of feed without waste. In planning for the wintering of the entire flock of the farm, or poul- try establishment, a distinction be- tween the layers and breeders must be made in the matter of feeding. The pullets should be fed heavily from now on in preparation for the laying season, while the old hens may be fed sparingly.

A. mash consist- ing of bran or middlings,' cornmeal, and a little beer scrap may be kept before the pullets with advantage, but should only be offered at intervals to the other birds. An account should be kept . of all expenses and receipts in connection with the flock in winter, also a record of the date at which each pullet be- gins to lay, andif possible, a count of each bird's production of eggs. By this means, if the age of a pullet is known, a proper idea, of the advis- ability of making a. special effort to secure winter eggs may be obtained, also a notion of the age at whichbirds may be expected to begin to produce pr 41tably.

Keyes, M.D. child, were content to be ruled, he would not learn self-reliance. By Helen Johnson Keyes Obedience is a necessary tool in the hands of parents. Without it they can not preserve their children against dangers because the children are too young to understand those dangers and save. themselves. Obedi- ence should begin at birth when the baby is taught to nurse at the hours appointed for him, to sleep when he is laid down without rocking and coax- ing and to endure washcloth and soap- suds. As he grows older and gains power to disobey it is necessary sometimes to punish him for doing so or for being slow in his obedience. Itis almost as important, fpr the sake of safety, that a child should obey quickly as that he should'obey at all. Unless he comes quickly when he is called, the horse may run over him; unless he lets go of the,knife at once when told to do so, he may lee cut Danger usually ap- Proprietor. r Car is i . �l1��t0b�) 0�1 To Hand ' Bran and Shorts a Binder.

Each child is a problem by himself, different from his brothers and sisters. One child may be too self-willed. and need much discipline in obedience; he n.ay be a, dreamer and need the train- ing of many hard, regular tasks. An- other child may obey too easily—for this also is possible, may lack decision and.the wish and power to assume re- sponsibility,. This second child al- though sweet and lovable, has' far less promise in him than his stubborn, brother. He must be forced to de- cide for himself and released as. far as possible from strict government if he is to become•a`strong enough man to shape his life usefully. This brings us back to our opening statement, "Obedience is a necessary tool 'in the.hands of parents." It is The mother, must have very good a tool, not an -end in itself. It is the judgment about the manner in which power. with which we protect our boys she demands' obedience as her child and gills while we know more than grows older. In the first place, she they.

If the mother has always held the comrade, quite as a matter of course, love respect and confidence of her to which my child replied with noxi- viction "Well, I can't." The necessity for insisting on the orders we give, makes it very import- ant that the orders should be wise and just. How easy it is to be unwise and unjust, to say "don't! too often! A child annoys us by rubbing his hands over, the tables, , chairs and papers, by olling on the floor or lit- tering the room with scraps df paper and we begin our impatient "don't's," mind that there is no sense in her By doing these things he is in commands and that his advancement reality educating himself., sending depends not on obeying them but on himself to school. By touch, the child under six years of age learns much about' shapes, tex- tures and numbers; and if the -delicate power in the tips of his fingers is tot allowed to develop at this early age, by his„ seventh year it will lose its keenness. By rolling on the floor in his un- gainly fashion he gives himself his first military training! Physical train- ing is'now being made a part of public school work and is the first grade in military preparation. By cutting paper—a great delight to every little child—he teaches him- self 'skill with 'his scissors and the power to put his ideas into fdrm;that is, if he thinks of a. bird, he encs out something a little like a bird, which ho calls a bird and with whichlie plays. 'These wets are the self•education of children•, let us understand' that and hold baelt our "don't's,' event though the play may annoy us. We mothers must learn, then, to in silt on obedience when we ask it but also we must learn to let the child alnno much of the time, As our boys and girls .. grow .be - in to dis- like little childhood they beg be- yond , like control. They want to decide for themselves what to do and how to do child, as he grows older he will con- tinue to yield to her without very fre- quent rebellion.. She will reap what she sowed in the preceding years, If,. on the other hand, she gave orders and did' not insist on his obey- ing them, he will escape her control when he is old enough to hold the power to do' so; if she filled his child- hood days with unnecessary "do's" and "don't's," he will have made up lis disobeying them. The period is . short when we can protect our children against hurts and evils; soon they must defend thein - selves: From \the beginning, there-' fore, we must have this idea, in view. We muet train the will power and the reasoning power of. our boys and gills along with their habit of obedience. The days should not be so full of rules and duties and -tasks that no time is left for children to make their own decisions and choose their own em- ployments. If they are not early taught how to, reason, to choose and to deeicle, their development into well - poised men and women will be' inter- fered with sadly.

This is only another way of stating two facts that should be the wounds which he must inflict. A person will take cold from sitting in a draft (a cold is a germ disease) at one time and not do so under simi- lar circumstances at another time. In one case the soldiers were on the job with full strength; in the other case their power had been lessened by some stress from which the body had not fully recovered. Protect the little white soldiers and they will protect you. • Glanders is an infectious disease affecting horses and sometimes at- tacks man. One•of the symptoms is the formation of ulcers in the nose and a discharge, mixed with blood, but without an offensive odor, from the nose. The glands under the jaw of- ten swell. Swellings often occur on the legs, ulcers sometimes form on the skin, the coat is apt to be dull, and the affected horse loses flesh. The discharges from the nose con- tain the germs which shows' how easy it is for a glandered horse to infect a watering trough or manger. It also gives an idea of the care that needs to -be exercised when glanders is in a community in order to keep well horses from becoming infected.

Care should be tak- arises they can migrate through the wall or tube that ineloses the blood and thus reach the enemy that is trying to make an entrance into the system. The red corpuscles in the blood have no such power to migrate. Besides the soldiers among them, who attend to the business of de- stroying the live enemy, there are white corpuscles whose duties seem to Hogs are the quickest and largest meat producers in the world. It is well to remember that the younges per is t k the cheapest per k and that the fattest hogs are the most constantly kept in mind by the feeder of hogs, viz.: 1. The older the hog the more feed it takes to make a pound of gain. 2. The longer the feeding period the more feed it takes to make a pound of gain. The above facts have been repeat- edly proven by experiment stations and by expert feeders; hence the farm- er should depend on young hogs for his market porlr. These should be finish- ed as rapidly as possible and as soon as they will command a good price rushed to the market. It seldom pays to prolong the feod- ing'period fax' into the winter. Pork. made at this time is costly for three reasons,—tbe two stated above, and the third one that hogs cannot lay on fat rapiclly in cold weather. This is because it takes so much feed to keep the animals warm. It is usually the wisest plan to fat- ten hogs as rapidly as possible and Sowing Tares. During a Bible lesson a teacher was trying to explain the parable of the tares. "Can anyone tell me any person `who is like the evil one who sowed the tares?"

To cure the offending animal take a rope with a loop in one end of it or a trunk strap and pass it around the body of the cow. Draw it tight. The cow usually will jump a little at first, but when she finds she cannot get out of the rope she will stand—and cannot kick. If this method causes the cow to give bloody milk, place the rope or strap behind the udder and draw it up in the same manner. With some cows this cannot be done because of the shape of the udder. Another method is to hobble the cow by passing the rope around each leg behind the udder, and tying just above the hocks. This is rather dangerous for the man tying the rope. After the preventive measure has been repeated several times the cow will stand readily to be milked. -46 Guarding Baby.
