We can hardly wait until our fillies
are three years old before breeding
them, though when younger their colts
are not always satisfactory. The rea-
son why young mares do not produce as
fine colts as older ones is probably
because the dam, not being mature,
uses up quite an amount of the food she
consumes in the building up and matur-
ing of her body instead of nourishing
her youngster. We should at least see
that the young mother gets the best of
care and feed.

Hens cooped in winter are in rather
an unnatural condition. Our forefath-
ers, at most, shut them up at night. but
today the successful breeder, whether
for eggs or for fancy points, houses his
stock comfortably, and confines them
closely in their coops during the win
ter. 1t is necessary then.

If the farmers would SOW sunhOwer
seed for the benefit of their. chickens,
they would be slow to be without it
thereafter. Nothing furnishes more
poultry feed to the same amount of
ground; it needs no care and grows in
odd corners and waste places, which
will be filled with weeds of some kind
otherwise.

Our neighbor may be profting by a
dairy of such excellence that, though

up unless it is gift.

world | have lived to look upon it's
dismembered fragments whole again;
to see it, like the tabled bird Of wol-
drous pIumage upon the Arabian des-
ert, slowly shape itself above the flames
and ashes of a conflagration that
threatened to devour it; have
watched it gradually unfold its magni-
cent proportions through alternating
tracks of light and shade; have stood
in awe-struck wonder and fear lest me
glorious fabric should fade into dark
ness and prove but the insubstantial
pageant of a vision; when, 10, out Of
the misty depths of the far-away Paci-
ic came the booming of Dewey's guns,
quickly followed by the answering
voice of the guns of Sampson and Shat
ter and Schley, and l said: 1t is lot
a dream. It is Gods promise re-
deemed. With the night of sectional
confusion that is gone, civil strife has
passed from the scene, and, in the
light of the perfect day that is come,
the nation finds, as the first fruit of it's
new birth of freedom, another birth of
greatness and power and renown.'
Fully realizing the responsibilities
of this, and the duties that belong to it,

hand of the Almighty has appeared
from first to last; that His will begat

that in the war of the revolution and
in the civil war the incidents and acct
dents of battle left no doubt where
providence inclined; if the star that
now shines over US, at once a signet of
Gods plan and purpose and a heaven
