We know of q man, a farmer, who
can never find anything he wants
about his place. He always leaves
tools and the like just where he uses
them, and il 1t were not for his more
careful and businesslike wife, who
looks after him and puts things in their
proper place, he could hardly do busl-
ness at all. His fault grew out Of the
lack of proper training when boy.
Children can be trained to be careful
and methodical just as well as not,
and parents who neglect SO to train
them do their children grieyous
wrong.
FENCES FOR THE HORSE PASTURE,
One hundred and twenty-five dollars
will buy enough woven wire fencing
to put up $50 rods of fence. This much
fence will inclose pasture of "a acres.
One good horse will now sell for .$125.
1t is hard to find man who has raised
four horses to turn off each year who
has not lost by barbed wire more than
enough to build the woven wire fence,
IL not in animals killed outright at
least by scars and blemishes on horses
which were rendered unstable. 1t Is
safe to say that. II you are trying to
raise good horses 1t will not pay to try
to do it with barbed wire fences. a
