A mans enemies are few if his rela-

Faith in a watch without works will

beauty.

With slow walking team farm work
drags in spite of every effort of the
driver. A slight difference in the rate
at which team gets over the ground
makes great difference in the amount
of work accomplished. The horse
which gets in the notion of poking along
slowly will always move slowly in spite
of all urging. Most farm work is light
on the horses and they should be train
ed to step out from the first day of their
breaking. The colt should not be even
allowed to trot until he has learned to
walk briskly. =.

Clover, bran, middlings, peas and
milk promote growth in the pigs, but
there must be the addition of corn for
weeks before the time for slaughter.
One must feed fat to get fat. Such a

a flavor the most fastidious will praise.

If we take trouble to pack our apples
in barrels or boxes in dry sand not only
will the flavor and soundness be pre-
served, but also their original beauty
and frmness. Try no substitute which
may get damp and mouldy. We can
treat pears in the same way, but they
should be left to ripen and go through
their stage of fermentation before we
pack them. Fruit simply layed away
in shelves is sure to shrivel and lose its
beauty.

1t is a waste of money to use a pure

due to the long continued good manage

often because their grade foals are care
