A horse accustomed to starting. a9(
running away may be eff. ctual'y curet

pretty thoroughly exhausted.
i This accident resulted from changing
the beadstall CT the harness while the
horse was in the carriage, and we mention
: TIE instance as caution TO farmers
stablemen and everybody, not to change
the bridlr of horse while the horse il
attached to carriage, aud in no case dc
it if persons, women or children, are lief
in the carriage.
In order that there may be as much
interest taken by the sheep in the visits
of the owner as BY himself, it will be
found good plan to carry a little salt and
give them at each visit THIS plan Gre
ates mutual understanding between the
sheep and their owner, aud they soon
become so tame that he can catch and

bucketful of good drinking water, fresh
from the well-such water as thirsty
man would relish. In abou, ha an hour
aft she has drank that give her another,
and SO on until she is satisfied. 1t seems
to me that very few of our writers have
fully realized the necessity there is for
supplying the cows system with water
soon after calving. and also that it b.
done gradually.
Should cattle at any time be in "a gerI

the animals head. pull out the tong ne.
and crowd the ball as far down the throat
as possible. In Is minutes it will cause
sickness and vomiting, relaxing the
muscles So that the potato. or whatever il
NAY be chok ing it, will be thrown up.
The fact IS overlooked that by allowing
stock to retrogradc in condition serious
loss IS entailed, and the value of the
animal is deprecated, and that to wha,
ever degree this depreciation extends the
loss can only be reaained at cost ex-
ceeding the value Of the food which

Boys Rights.

/ wonder if any one.
In this broad Land has heard,
In Myor Of down-trodden boys
One solitary " ord?
We ht ar enough of ''woman's rights,
And Rights of working men,"
Of equal rights ard nations rights,
But pray jus, till us when
Boys rights were spoken of?
Why we've become so used
To being snubbed by every one,
And Sighted and abused,
That when one is polite to Us,
We open wide our eyes,
And stretch them in establishment
To nearly twice their size!
Boys seldom dare to ask their friends
To venture into the house;
/ don t come natural al all
TO creep round like mouse.
Ard If we should forget ourselves
And make little noise.
Then ma or auntie sure would say,
''Oh, my, those dreadful boys"
he girls bang on the piano,
In peace, but If the boys
Ait, mpt tune with fife and drum,
It's stop that horrid noise."
:'That horrid roise!' just think of it;
When sister never fails
To make noise three times as bad
With everlasting ''scales."
!nsulted thus, We lose no time
In beating retreat;
So off we go to romp and tear.
And scamper in the street.
No wond,r that so many boys
Such wick d men become.
'Twcre better far to let them have
Their games and plays at home.
Perhaps that text The teacher quotes
Sometlmts-"Tiain up a child
Means only train the little girls
And let the boys run wild.
But patience, and the time shall come
When we will all be men,
And when it does, rather think
Wrongs will be lighted then.
