money winner soon while you have
Just to struggle up any old way.
And so it goes from yea to year
until, at last. they break" you to work
and almost break your ribs at the
same time, just because you neither IN
derstand nor appreciate all in a min
ute the fearsome heavy things they tie
o to with skin-chafing, ill-fitting
harness. How sore is your poor neck
and the red spots upon your Shout
ders show how the collar gals! How
strange your feet feel after having
been cut. rasped, burned, thrust
through with nails and weighted down
with great iron shoes! How harsh it
seems to you after working faithfully
in b dusty fields to be left at the
noon hour with the harness upon your
perspiring back while the owner
washes himself, cools off, has a de-
licious drink Of ice-cold well water,
n then a generous meal. But you,
poor beast, have to tackle the same
Sld hay you left there in the morning
and half maSticate a few hard ears of
corn which only seem to heat your
blood more and more and make you
less able for the afternoons labor.
How o long for night to come, and
then how uncomfortable it is after all
with the hard ill-bedded floor to lie
on and the ammonia from the Tester
ing manure irritating your eyes and
lungs and the mosquitoes buzzing and
biting unhindered, while your master
lies secure behind gauze protected
windows and shores luxuriously upon
a downy bed. The myriad host of flies
that greets you when the robin
sounds his opening note at sun-up is
the vanguard of the army that will
harrass o all day long as you toll
YEARLY without the protection of even
the cheapest kind of ly-net. How you
long for water a dozen times a day
when your task-master is taking a
long, deep pull at the little brown jug
in the cool, wet, slough. How hor-
r1bly hot the sun is as it beats down
upon your unprotected head and how
you would like to borrow the big
straw hat your master wears. It is
not to be wondered at that you get oc-
cas1onal attacks of ~sunstroke, collie,
mud-fever, l~ymphangitis, and a hun
dred other kindred evils, or that the
lice infest your skin and other para
sites have eaten out name and tail. It
is a wonder, however, that you do not
kick oftener and harder and that you
live so long, for you are of all domes-
ticated animals the most abused.
When the time comes for you TO go
to horse heaven" the relief must be
beyond description and surely you of
all beasts have been a good and faith
full servant and have amply earned
your rest.
How different, oh readers of the
Farmers Review, is the lot of the
horse that happens to be born the
servant of a humane master!

The cattle business in Wyoming,
which fell off during the years 1886
to 1898, is reviving, the numbers re-
turned for assessment showing a con-
siderable increase over last year.
Similar improvement is noted in the
sheep industry in that state. In 1886
there were but 3O8, 977 head of sheep.
In 1899 the total amounted to 2,164, 701,
and sheep men prophesy that the
5000, 900 mark will be reached before
1901. The number of horses, accord
ing to the returns of 1899, were 82,446.
which is 10000 more than in 1895, but
less than in 1891.

Alas, poor horse! How few are your

badly that milk agrees with you, to be
sure! 1t makes your little stomach
ache, and after a while you are
ashamed to look at your scattered,
scurfy skin in the pelucid water of the
drinking trough which was washed
out when mamma was a colt. How
proud you are when in the cool dewy
morning you are allowed to accom-

town! But, oh, what a difference
when the noon-hour comes! Your
poor little body is all wet with sweat;

The cooperative creamery has in
1t great possibilities Many a time,
however, the cooperative creamery is
ruined by bad management. Perhaps
1t is unfortunate that the managing
committee is too frequently composed
of men that have a too great regard
for economy. The cooperative cream
cry should have a good manager and
he will cost money. A poor manager,
that is, one without the necessary
training, can be had at a much lower
price than can the trained man. Yet
1t will generally pay to have a trained
and unless the company or association
is willing to pay a good salary and
then give the manager a good deal of
authority, there is little chance of sue
cess.
At. what price can milk be sold
wholesale and still return a profit?
This is a question that we would like
to have some of our readers answer.
An eastern paper has been asking a
somewhat similar question of many of
its readers, and the reports agree In
saying that when milk is sold at 2 and
212 cents per quart it is a losing
transaction. If this is so then the
farmers that supply much of the sum-
lose heavily, for the summer prices
have in some instances dropped down
to 81 cents per 100 pounds or about
one cent per quart. Even at 81 per.
hundred pounds there is little if n
profit in the TRANSACTION, when all
things are considered. Conditions in
the west differ somewhat from those
in the east and we would like to hear
the opinions of western shippers OF
milk.
Foot-and-mouth disease has again
broken out in England after having
been apparently extinct there for
about six years. Reports say that the
situation in one locality there is very
serious, especially as regards COWS in
milk. In a single locality over 100
cases have been discovered, and, as
many of the animals were c~anvales-
cent at the time of the discovery, it is
evident that the diseases had been in
existence there for a long time. The
problem is, how have the six years
been abridged over Have some ami
mails been sick all the time, transmit
ting it from one to the other, thus
completing a chain, or have the germs
lain dormant in some material or 9th
er? Whatever the answer may be, it
is quite evident that care was not
used to the degree it should have
been. If a veterinarian had been called
when the first cow fell sick with some
unknown disease" the thing might
have been nipped in the bud. AS it is,
it will probably be a hard task to cor
raj the diseased cattle, for without
doubt some have gone from the in
fected herds into herds far distant.
American farmers and dairymen
should take the lesson to heart. Con-
tagious diseases can be kept down only
by cleanliness and vigilance.

Children's Day at Piney
Grove.

| Children's Day was observed at
Piney Grove Baptist Church, Sun
day, June "a, 1900. Though it
was raining and the roads were a
slush Of mud, it is conservatively
estimated that a thousand people
were present. The large house was
/ so crowded there was no standing
room, and about 500 people, who
were unable TO get into the church,
found shelter from the rain in the
school house.
The services for the day were
conducted by the Sunday schools of
Piney Grove Church and Cooper's
Chapel, the children of the entire
community participating in the pro
gramme. Superintendent NJ. D.
Ammons, of Piney Grove School,
and w. III. Siler, of Cooper's Chap
ell School, arranged the program
and were in charge of the services.
At the appointed hour, all the boys
and girls who were to take part in
the services, formed in columns of
twos, and led by two girls carrying
the two Sunday school banners,
marched into the church singing
Seeking the Lost" Rev. Gallo
way Stump then delivered the adj
dress of welcome and appropriately
announced the character of the ex-
ercises.
The program was replete with
songs, religious recitations, ora
tions, responsive reading, etc. The
choir, led by Brother Robt. Doris,
furnished excellent singing for the
occasion. There were over so
names on the program, and each
and every one acquitted themselves
creditably. The little boys and
girls rendered the recitations Sc
Iected for them with such talent and
feeling that we know their fond pa
rents were never more proud of
their children. Little Gracey Will
son, aged seven years, rendered her
recitation with such extraordinary
feeling and christian spirit that
motion was made and unanimously
carried voting her the thanks Of the
entire congregation. There are
many others we would like to men-
ton, but limited space forbids.
Dinner was served at noon and
after the thousand people had been
filled, there was taken up of what
remained enough to have fed as
many more.
Near the close Of the days service
Rev. Stump made short talk in
behalf of the Sunday School Board,
and a collection was taken for it
amounting to S4.32.
Altogether it was great day for
the children and for Jesus. There
was not hitch anywhere and ev-
erything went off quietly as arrang-
ed. The children looked their best
and sweetest, the interior of the
church was very beautifully deco
rated with flowers and evergreens
and we believe that the christian
people present felt more of brother
ly love for each other than hereto
fore.
Children's Day was such decid
ed success and SO largely attended
that it was unanimously decided to
observe the day the fourth Sunday
in June, 1901. One Lords day in
each year set apart for the little
children to sing songs of praise and
read and recite selections from
christian literature will serve more
to fill the little ones with the spirit
of public worship than many learn
ed and technical sermons, which
are dry and nncomprehensive to
them. j. A. HoRNsBY,
