trials of Authorsl,In.

A little girl in Chicago has recently
published volume of verse, to be sold
for charity. She was only six years
old when she undertook this literary
labor, or, as she says, 81 talked it, and
mamma wrote it down for me just as
talked it."
In one story she tells how typhoid
fever broke out among the fairies.
When the fairy doctor came, he talked
to the fairy godmother about microbes
and germs, and told her to boil the
water"
Then she, who was Of an inquiring
mind, asked if hair was a sidewalk for
a microbe.
"Oh, no." said the doctor, "they are
much smaller"
But if the germ had the fever" per-
sisted the godmother, "why didn't the
fever, which killed little boys and
girls, kill the germ? And if the germ
didn't have the fever, how could 1t give
the fever? How could thing give q
thing it didn't have?"
This was too much for the fairy doc
tor, who could only answer, Nobody
knows but God"
Later the child breaks out into verse:
The flower that bends down to the
earth
VIII soon go back to God;
But never again will it return
The same as it was plod.
In an apparently much needed foot
note the author explains that this
poem, which came into my head quick
and sudden, doesn't make sense, be
cause the word 'plod,' which rhymes
SO nicely with God, doesn't mean what
want it to-
In this embarrassment she seems
like real poets.

the final end of the porcine species is
simply to furnish a portion of the meat
supply for human consumption, and
that they multiply faster and mature
earlier than any of their competitors.
the absurdity of such prices can be
realized. 1t is nothing but speculation,
pure and simple. Within the past
month we heard one of the noted pro-
fessiOnal fine stock auctioneers, in urg-
ing bidders to raise their bids on a
promising sow, inadvertently give ut

prices. He said: Don't be afraid to

shying in Horseu.

"Shy1gg in Horses" was the subject
OF an interesting discussion at a recent
meeting of English veterinarians. Ii
is usual to connect shying with some
defect OF vision. As a theoretical ex-
PLANTATION this has a FEASIBILITY which
disarms doubt and leads one to accent
as authoritative the oft-repeated state
ment. It is urged, however, that ex-
perience is against this theory. Near
~ all young horses shy, but when
properly broken and got into regular
work cease to do So Some are i'm
properly broken, and continue to shy
more or less. A few are guilty of shy
ing all their lives, no matter what care
is taken to form their habits. Ona of
the speakers. Mr.. R. C. Irving, said:
Ii shying depended upon imperfect
vision, one would expect horses to shy
IN about the same degree at all kinds
OF strange and terrifying sights. This
is not the case. Some horses will new
er face an engine of any kind. Some
VIII stand perfectly still alongside a
thrashing-machine, but always shy at
a locomotive road-engine. Some horses
shy only when passing a train, and,
strange to say, of these one will object

paper on the road or bridge over it.
Whilst one horse SHES dangerously on
country road and will pass anything
in a crowded STRAIT apOfbar Is e+aody
along the country lane and unsafe in
town. This behavior cannot be rec
0nciled with the theory of imperfect
vision. 1t seems more a matter of tenn
permanent and habit. The defect, in
tact, is in his brain, not in his eye; this
Is confirmed by experience of horses
with defective eyes. Horses with par
tlal or complete cataracts, with small
or large corneaI opacities, behave in
much the same way as before their de-
fects were noticed. A quiet, good
hammered horse remains as he was,
and shying does not seem, when it ex-
lists, to get worse as the vision be-
comes more and more defective" 1t
Is notable in this connection that
Hayes, in his book on "Horsebreak-
ing" does not treat of shyness in his
chapter on Faults of Temper" but in
cludes it In the chapter on Faults of
Mouth" ard gives advice for its treat
ment 1t may be concluded, therefore,
that he considers shying mainly as a
bad habit which has not been over
come by proper breaking and training.

their trick of concealment is by some

Fruit Soil.-Owing to its earlIness
and the ease with which it is culti-
waited, it was natural that for long
time sandy soil should be preferred
by the fruit grower. But it is becom-
ing understood that well underdrained
heavy soils can be worked nearly or
quite as early as sandy soils, and these
are much richer in the mineral ele-
ments of plant food that are essential
in perfecting fruit of any kind. In
many of the winter fruits the easiness
of ripening on light soil becomes a dis
advantage, as it makes late fall and
early winter fruits of varieties that,
when grown on heavier soil, should be
kept in good condition until SPRING

that butter be clean, it must appear

buy parchment paper, which costs but
little, and use that. You will thus be
able to keep your trade. People are
particularly eager to get butter they
know to be clean, and are willing to
pay for the cleanliness.
