that they will be given not less than

There Is n question as TO the cause
of a COW kicking. It, as n rule, Is
caused by harsh milking, and a whole
lot of people. ] regret to say. have
never learned TO milk n COW with
comfort to the cow; and the result Is
she rcscnts by kicking. II is possi-
bic you may hurt this COW when you
attempt to milk her. Again, there
are cows that object to being MIXED
by men. In cases OF that kind. let
kindness be the prime factor In treat
ing her and never try the boot and
milking stool for n curry comb: but
curry her by gentle hand strokes and
give her n bit of wheat bran or some
other food she may relish. II she

piece Of half inch rope and put II
around her body just forward of the

any Is TO put a halter upon her and

H GROWTH OF TREES.
Processes of Nature Are Wonderful
Indeed. Hut They Always work
with Logical Precision.

Prof. L. S. Croft: In the first place,
we have the root system which AbSorbs
water from the ground and brings this
water together at the base OF the
trunk. The roots have an absorptiye
system Of their own and their nature
Is to draw IN water with more or less
vigor. Then when fhe water Is taken
to the trunk. the hbcrs of the trunk
tend to lift the water by sapillarity. nnd
the buds sbovs are mot only expending
the water above. but they are filled with
protoplasm which has an affinity for
water, and so we have a force that
draws the water from the roots into
the top. II Is n principle well known
In physics that when water passes
through n tube II will pass with more
force through n straight tube than II
will through n crooked tube. and that
every bend we make In the tube would
reduce the force to that extent. II
follows that the buds Of an apple tree.
or any other tree. that are In. the most
direct communication with the axis OF
growth, with the trunk, are the ones
that will receive the most water. Every
time the branch grows, that branch
does not receive quite as much water
as the branch before Il turns, and II
that branch subdiyides, the secondary
branch receives less than the primary
branch, and 30 on. the more II branches
the less water IL receives, and the less
vigor II has and the less II grows; II is
this principle that determines the form
Of the tree. You know, as the tree
tends 10 grow upright, the terminal
buds receive more water than any
other buds. because they are In the
most direct line with the source OF wa
ter; every branch that grows less
somewhat in vigor. BY and by, when
the tree attnins a height 50 great thnt
the distance from the roots is so great
Il overbalances the fact thatthe termi-
nal buds are In direct communication
with the axis Of the vigor, the upper
most branches will dominate, and after
n time the tree will come TO an equilib-
rum, the branches will grow just as
much as the terminal shoots. and we
will have n full grown, developed tree

how he felt, was answered by the Celt
that he felt pretty good. The Irish
man in return asked him how he was,

that he felt "out of sight"
Pat did not seem to catch the mean

puzzled face turned into a broad grin,
and he walked away murmuring "out
