the subject and sitting erect. "Any-
how, it made mine stick up like the
bristles on brush. You see had an
other life to look out for besides my
own, and that almost scared me
crazy"
He rose to throw on fresh logs; and
while they sputtered and blazed, and
cast Pickering CLEAN on tree trunks
deep among the shadows, he settled
down again to comfort and his
story. a
II was only IA then, and my sister
couldn't have been more than seven.
We were living near Three Falls, close
by the river. It was well along in De-
cember, and though, for wonder,
there wasn't mucl, snow, the ice was a
foot thick, and in many places so
smooth and black that you could hard
~ tell it from open water. OF course
was wild to go skating, and mother told
me I might if I'd take along sister
Lorena and be sure to come back early.
So 1 got out the little boxsled and
tucked in Lorena, snug and warm, and
we started.
"That sled was really sort of min

Lcrena, who was the spoiled child in
our family. It had cushioned seat
and padded sides, and back so high
that I could skate behind and push it
like one of those new-fangled baby
carriages.
''I'll never forget how Lorena looked
that day; she comes up before my
sight just as the bowling of the
wolves sounds in my ears whenever l
think about it. She had yellow hair
and big eyes and rosebud sort of
face; and when she wanted anything
she had only to pout just the least bit,
and she got it right away. She was
wrapped and muffled until she seemed
as broad as she was long, but her rosy
cheeks peeped out of her soft worsted
hood like bright red pink slnothered
in bed of white cnes. Our Lorena
was little beauty and no mistake, for
all she was sister to such pIain-look-
ing fellow.
eve went on the ice just above the
rapids, and as soon as had strapped
on my skates and stamped in the heel
brads we started up the river. Mine
were the old-fashioned kind of skates,
of course--the sort that turns up in
front with brass knobs over your toes,
but had ground the edges sharp as a
skinning knife. At every stroke they
sheared frosty shavings from the ice,
and the sled runners fairly roared as
they sped over its surface. Lorena
shrieked and gurgled with delight;
and we were having such fun that be-
fore we realized it we had reached the

HINTS FOR DA1RYMEN.

A large mouth in a COW is one in
dication of good digestion.
Get good knowledge of the dairy be-
fore you look for a, good herd.
Keep good clover hay, if You have
it., before the calf at two weeks old.
Separator milk, with oil meal, shorts
or corn meal added, will raise calves. :.
The flies in summer keep the calf
from doing as well as it might, and it
should be protected as much as pos
sible.
Calves not under six weeks old can
be raised on sour milk, with little Gil
meal added. We don't approve of it,
however, if it can be avoided.
Feed has very little if any effect
upon the quality of milk, but has upon
the quantity. The COW must give the
quality.-Western Plowman.

Wide Tires in Minnesota.

1t was demonstrated beyond question
that wide tires keep the surface smooth
and firm and that when the roads are
full of ruts the broad wheels,tend to re-
store them to good condition and thus
materially lessen the cost of repairs.
The universal adoption of the wide tire
in Minnesota for all vehicles carrying
heavy loads would save the taxpayers
of the state thousands of dollars annu-
ally in road repairs and would save
farmers and teamsters ten times the
amount in expense of hauling and wear
and tear of horses and vehicles.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.
