TH0UGHTFULNESS FOR THE OLD.

l wonder we are not always tender
and thoughtful of the old! I Won
der why people forget so, and seem
to think that the romance and the
dream days all belong to the young,
none seeming to have thought for
the stories written on hearts that are
hidden by wrinkled, careworn faces
never seeming to think of the pa.
thos of lives grown silent and tired
with the long journey-never think
ing Of the struggles, the noble deeds
which are written everywhere-writ-
ten in the old faces looking from dim
eyes. sounding in voices from which
the music has gone, in steps grown
slow and hating, hands trembling
and strengthless. Oh, wonder we
ever forget all this l wonder we are
not always thinking of the old.

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR TEAMS

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR TEAMS
Start your teams carefully, and see
that your men do the same. until they
are fairly accustomed to the extra
labor of spring work. Watch their
shoulders and necks to see that the
harness is not CALLING them. and it
would tao no harm, but possibly much
good, to wash them with salt and wa
ter when the harness is taken off at
night ,especially the animal is warm,
or has done any heavy pulling. Salt
and water is cooling and toughening,
and removes fresh soreness or infla-
mat on. Don't increase their grain
too suddenly, but little every day
as you increase their work. Proper
care at the start, and reasonable
watchfulness all the season, will keep
your teams in constant working CON-
dition. Don't wait till their necks or
shoulders are raw, or your animals
are sick before attending to them.
Remember that prevention is always
best and cheapest. Farm
