The farmer cannot too fully UNDER
stand that all the live stock on his
farm with which he is brought in
daily contact will partake more or less
of his personal moods. If he kicks
open the barn doors in the morning
and thuimps the old mare with the
shovel or pitchfork to let her know
that he is boss Of that ranch, even the
hens will be nervous and out of sorts
all day. 1t is the placid, even tenn
pered farmer who has docile stock. If
he leaves the kitchen door for the
barnyard singing "The Sweet By and
BY" he will find his cows placidly
chewing their cuds and his hogs grunt-
ing contentedly in the morning sun.
A horse understands when he is
sworn at. and it embitters a low to
threaten to break her back with a
straw cutter. A pig in the pen which
receives . CHEEKY "Good morning"
from the owner will fatten twice as
fast as the one which climbs up to re-
ceive a blow from a club. 1t is so with
the fowls. The farmer who puts on a
benevolent, fatherly expression as he
scatters the grain will find every hen
doing her best that day to lay an egg
to prove her gratitude and confidence,
while the one vino scowls and mutters
and tries to knock some hens head off
with a clothes prop will find himself
feared and detested.-M. Budd, in Ne

naturally herbivorous, and mischief is

In all article from the Ohio Expert
ment station it is suggested that when
sheep run out in the fields in the win
ter they destroy many insects, as well
as weed seeds. There are places along
the fierce orner and ~hedgerows where
the grass is too green to be burned,
being thick and matted down, and the
sheep will feed that closely, and any
insects which are harbored there,
which is such a place as many choose,
nre either trampled to death or left
so much exposed to the weather as to
cause them to perish. We usually
burned such places as clean as we
could to get weeds and dry brush out
