COOP training makes a considerable
difference in the value of a horse. To
get the best results handling and train
ing should begin when the colt is very
young.
If you raise the right kind of horses
the buyer will come after them; if the
wrong kind you win have to hunt up
buyer, and sometimes have considerable
trouble to find him.
THE best way to feed ground grain is
TO mix it with cut feed. If cut feed and
ground grain are mixed the result is
that the saliva is more completely min
gled with the grain, and the whole is
more thoroughly digested.
A CORRESPONDENT Of an exchange
says if your horse has locl1iaw take
strong tobacco and put it on each side
of the jaws while they are locked, and,

and your horse will be well and eating

No ANIMAL should be guarded more
carefully than the COW. She daily pro-
vides milk as an article of food, and
should she be attacked by disease, or
suffer ailment of any kind, the whole
family may incur danger. 1t is more
important to look after the health Of
the COW than to the health of the horse.
THERE is no reason why the barn
yard should be filthy The farmer who
aims to convert all waste into manure
will have a clean barn-yard, for he can
not afford to allow the liquids to be
wasted, or wait for the cattle to
trample the absorbents that can more
easily be deeomposed in the manure
heap.

And he dreamed he swept DER its waters blue,
With the winds allowing free,
With the winds so fresh and free
He woke and he said The day will cor

But as years swept by him he -. ,..,,A

I'M AZ last &c lay In a narrow mound.
Afar from the sobbing sea,
The sorrowing, sobbing sea
Oh, many there are on the plains tonight,
That dream 81 a voyage to be.
And have said in their souls: THE day will
come
When my bark shall sweep through the drifts
Of foam"
But their eyes grow din and their lips grow
dumb,
Afar from the tossing sea-
The turbulent, tossing sea

Maine fishermen who 60 down into Pro-
vinciali waters this summer will have TO
keep an eve out for a new government cruis
or which the Canadians have put on the pa
troll service for protection of their fisheries
within the three-mile limit. The new vessel
Is named the Agnes Macdonald, and is in
tended not only as cruiser, but as a model
for the Canadians to copy in building their
fishing schooners. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that the Agnes Macdonald was designed
by Edward Burgess, Of Boston, and is after
the lines Of the famous Gloucester fisherman
Fredonia. The swift Gloucester boats are
now being generally built on lines similar
to those of that craft, combining the speed
OF yacht with strength. seaworthiness, and
other features specially necessary to first
class fishing vessel. She is the first Of this
build in Canada. Remembering the old
motto about setting thief to catch thief,
the canadians have undoubtedly decided
tnat IL they are to catch the Yankee fishing
schooners they must have Yankee schooner
to do 1t. AS some of our schooners NAV fall
in with the Agnes, they may be interested
to know her size and capacity. Her dimen.
sions are 107 feet In length, "a feet beam. II,
feet hold, and she registers, lo7 tons. The
mainmast is S26 feet; foremost. 72.6: bow
spirit SO feet, and mainboom 81 feet. Her
spread of canvas measures 1850 yards. The
mainsaiI, as on all vessels of this design, is
an immense one, containing some 600 yards.
The Agnes Macdonald carries crew of sew
enteen, and is commanded by Captain w.
d. Kent, formerly of the protection steamer
Acadia. The Acadia is also In the fishery
projection service, at present under COM
mand of Captain Gordon.
