How TO MAKE BOYS LOVE THE FARM


The following is taken from letter
in 81 Nicholas for March. If more
parents treated their boys in this way, it
would be better for both;
| am little boy, ten years old. When
| was four, my mother took me to see my
grandfather, who gave me dollar. When
came home. my father offered to give
me heifer for the dollar and years
work at five cents day. l said all right
and after the years work was done, he
sold the COW and gave me the money,
with which bought a four year old cow.
After while this COW had calf and
When he was yearling ,shei had another.
when the first calf was two year old, l
traded him for another COW. The first
COW by this time had third calf. and the
second COW also had calf. l sold two Of
the yearlings for twenty three dollars, and
had six dollars besides l put this money
at interest for ten cents on dollar a
year. Afterwards l bought another COW,
selling the first old one for 1927, buying two
pigs. BY trading round l now have two
cows, two calves, two pigs, a pony and
saddle, and 1914 in money ut interest, all
made in six years.
This little fellyw will surely get along in
the world.

AN EXTENSIVE CATTLE RANCu.-It is
estimated that the Tiff estate now owns
about $4,000 head of cattle of all ages. 1t
includes eight ranches, the principal one
being 16O miles in length by 20 miles in
width at the upper end, and tapering to n
point at the other. 1t is situated between
the Union Pacific railroad and the South
Platte river, and reaches ives, ward to the
loot hills, including portions of Colorado
Wyoming and Nebraska. Within the past
two years there have been added to the
herd, by purchase, 1890 cattle from
Texas, while the calves branded within
that time number about 5000 head.
Within the same period 25,02l have been
marketed for beef, and 10000 will be
marketed this year. The value of the
estate is estimated at $l,500,00O.

CARE OF CoLTs.-Many Il fine horse has
been spoiled in the defective growth of
the colt But the food given to the weanl-
ing should be appropriate for the develop
ment of frame and muscle. Such food as
will produce fat rather than muscle can
not be too strongly condemned. No corn
meal should be given to the colt
If the colt is in the poorly nourished
condition have been describing, the best
chance of recovery is with the milk ration.
The colt may be taught to take fresh
warm milk and when it has learned to
take this. skim milk may gradually be
substituted. Even sour milk will gener-
ally be taken greedily. but in the winter
skinned milk need not be sour. This
milk contains so large proportion of
casein, or muscleforming food and phos-
phate of lime, that it is exactly adapted
to the growth of muscle and bone. l opce
saved, by the use of sour milk, very
likely colt that had got extremely poor by
bad management, and it afterward made
fine growth. Cows milk will do what
no other food can for stunted colt The
best grain ration for colt is one to two
quarts of oats with pint of oil meal
twice per day. This and good hay will
keep colt in fine condition through the
first winter. Although the colt should be
we'll sheltered tn good stable, yet it
should have an opportunity for exercise
every day.

Raising His Own Coffin.

Capt. Stone arrived at Moundvlle'
w. Va, IS years ago, settled down
and planted two seeds, remarklng
toshis family that he would like to
raise his own coffin. Que of the
seeds died, but the other flourished
and grew. From a shoot it became
a sapling, and finally, in the course OF
80 years, a fine tree. About 10
months ago it was blown down in a
severe wind storm. lie had it cut in'
to lumber and sent to Pittsburgh
man. In a short time it was returned
to him 10 the shape OF a beautiful
coffin. About two weeks ago he was
laid away in the coffin which he plant
ed 35 years ago.

people are so fond OF romance-our
Romaine is E; and don't believe that
anything could have pleased her half
so much that happened in the regular,
expected way Our Romaire always
was so full of fancies and ideals, and
when there's anything romantic going,
it always fails TO her lot.
Well, now, do you know, ! believe
that from the very moment Romano
met that young officer. she made him
her hero and her ideal. She didn't
know his name. she didn't know bis
regiment, she didn't know his rank,
she had hardly seen his face; but, for
all that. she just resolved-very likely
without putting it in so many words
to herselt-that if she couldn't marry
him, she would never marry anybody,
and she would keep herself and all
her thoughts sacred to this hero
And she did. And that is what has
given her this air of remoteness, al
most as if she belonged to superior
rank, you know. shs didn't know
whether her hero was alive or dead ;
there were ski, mishers in the neigh
borhood, and before long great bat
tie farther off but there were no
means of learning anything, of course,
and he never came back. Somehow
I think she felt that if he were alive
he would. and I think she began to
look upon him as dead, and herself as
well, don't you laugh--as something
like his widow at any rate, as VOW

up and looked on the mantel The
nearest approach to shears there was

around and surveyed each window

'I tell you there amt no shears

given the hall treea looking over.

They might have been carried under

clawled under, bumped his head on
the stats, got dust in his throat, and
was backing out with blood in his
eye, when his wife called out:
"Why what on earth are you
