It should always be crowded to the very
limit of the animals appetite.
AT the present price for horses the
owner Of q mare can better afford to
pay the scrub stallion owner to keep
away his horse than to pay for service.
There has been great deal of hog
cholera this year, and much of it has
come from bad water. The drought
dried up the streams and wells and the
stock got water where it could, and
much Of it was very bad water.
Waldo Brown says that there is less
risk of loss of fall litters than of those
dropped in the spring, for in March and
April we are liable to severe storms and
sudden changes in temperature, and it
is more difficult to keep the sows in a
healthy condition through the winter
than in summer, when succulent food is
abundant.-Farmer's Voice.

more profitable if better care was taken
of it than is usually the case.
Owing to the location of some stables
it Is impossible to get much sunlight in
them, but in the greater number of
barns, where the COWS stand in row
next to the side, it would be an easy
matter to put in few windows. One
window for every two cows should be
the rule, and they may be swung open
to throw the manure out of them if
necessary. If thesu can shine directly
ON the cows so much the better.-Prac-
tical Dairyman.

A Word to the Wise.

A leading orchsrdist who has visited
most of the commercial orchards of
the Northwest says that all of them
were produced by men who were prop
sgstors of apple trees. This is very
suggestive.
If one or more of those persons In
each locality who were inclined to fruit
growing, would start a local nursery,
such q movement would cause a great
advance in horticulture.
Experience in grating is not neceS
sary, although it Is easily learned.
The best apple root CRAFTS can be
bought for 81 per 100, or $5 per 1000,
and sometimes for less money. By
selecting only such varieties as are
known to be adapted to the locality
and setting them in rows about twenty
feet apart where the orchard Is to be
located, as good a start for an orchard
Is made as if yesr.old trees had
been set. When large enough the
surplus trees can be used to en-
large the orchard or sold to the
neighbors. While there may not be
much money in raising a few apples to
sell, the grower is in fair way to have
one of the best orchards In his section;
besides having the pleasure of being

Good CONDITION Helps Sale.

There is no question but what stock
for sale can profitably be put in particu-
larly good condition. This fact has been
so clearly shown over and over again IN
the sales rings that it would seem now
as though no one could really doubt it.
The best-bred stock in America, if of
fered at auction in any market, when
poor, thin and badly out of condition,
will bring scarcely enough to pay tie
expenses of shipping and sale; whilg if
only fairly well bred, but in particularly
good condition and well trained, they
now bring very fair prices Farmers

Sunshine in Stables Is the Worst Enemy
of Tuberculosis.

OF IuDeECuIObIBs
The worst enemy of tuberculosis is
sunshine, and the average cow stable is
nn ideal place for the spread of this dis
ease because it lacks the means of let
ting in the light, Probably nine-tenths
of the stables have been constructed
with view to the easy handling of the
manure. This has been the chief aim,
and convenience in feeding and the
comfort of the cows has too often been
lost sight Of. 1t is well enough to get
the manure out of the stable with as
little work as possible, but 1t would be

Miss Cushman a. Romeo.

When Charlotte Cushman played
the part of Romeo to the Juliet of
her sister Susan at the Haymarket
in December, 1916. The Times gave
free vent to it's enthusiasm, and all
the rest of the press fell in line. 1T
is enough to say that the Romeo of
Miss Cushman is far superior to any
Romeo we have ever had. The dis
tinotion is not one of degree, it is
one of kind. For long time Romeo
has been u convention. Miss Cush.
mans Romeo is a crea ton; q living,
breathing, animated, ardent, human
being. The memory of playgoers
will call up Romeo as a collection of
speeches delivered with more or less
eloquenoe, not as an individual. Miss
Cushman has given the vivifying
spark whereby the fragments are
knit together and become an organ
lied entirety. All the manifestations
of Romeo's disposition were given
with absolute truth, and the one
soul was recognizable through them
all. Miss Cushman looks Romeo ex-
oeedingly we'll; her department is
frank and easy; she walks the stage
with an air of command; her eye
beams with animation. In word,
Romeo is one of her grand success
es.
Sheridan Knowles, no mean judge,
considered the Cushman's scene
with the Friar as great in its way as

And the creams that t.ie nro tho Soul OF

The fairest hopo is the one which faded;
Tho brightest leaf il tho leaf that fell;
The song that lcapcd from tho lips OF sirens
Dies away in un old Seashell.
Far to the heights of viewlcss fancy
The souls swift flight like swallow goes,
For the note unhcard is the birds best carol,
And the bud unknown Is tho reddest rose.
Deepest thoughts uro tho ones unspoken,
That only tho heart sense. listening, hears
Most great joys bring touch OF silence;
Greatest grief is in unshed tears.
What we hear is the lceting echo.
A song dies out, but II dream lives on.
The rose rcd tints of the rarest morning
Arc lingering yet in distant dawn.
Somewhere, dim in the days to follow
And far away in the life to be.
Passing sweet Is O song Of gladness,
The spirit chant Of the soul set free.
Chords untouched are the ones We wait for
That never rise from the harp unstrung.
We turn our steps to the years beyond US
And listen still for the songs unsung.
