AS | am not q Oattler Tor lnan-
cial success or worldwide fame,
time often hangs heavily on my
hands. Usually when tire Of
sounds and objects about me, |
shut my eyes and float away into
a sort of dfeamland and recollect-
ions of other and happier days
blend sweetly, yet regretfully
with my musings. What a mar
velous thing it is to sit and muse
until memory with its mysterious
key of magic turns the bolt and
opens the door of the cave
where all our past treasures lie.
What a mystery memory is! Who
can tell why the cricket's chirp re-
calls emotions of long ago; or,
why the birds song brings up
thoughts of other loves and lost
youth? This morning while my
ship of destiny was eddying and
tossing about in uncertain waters
heading for nowhere in particular
| pulled myself together, took
hold of the helm and turned away
from dreamland, and entered the
real land Of the living. Now
that l am here for the purpose Of
spending the day, | will write to
all the good people round about
and tell what the folks are doing.
We had series Of sermons de-
livered here last week by Rev.

Comfort For the Good Beast-Best
Draft For the Load.
The thin shouldered horse needs a
light collar and the thick one a heavy
enough collar at the point where the
hametug crosses to hold the hametug
away from the sides of the shoulder.
Before the horse is harnessed for work
with the new collar or changed collar
of another horse the collar should be
wrapped round and round its entire
surface with several thicknesses Of
burlaps. old blanket material or any
cloth thoroughly wet and set to one
side for several hours or long enough
to soften the leather so that 1t will
readily give at any point. This cover
ing material can be wet again and
again IL necessary to accomplish the
object. as in the case of an old, very
dry hard collar. When this Is done and
while the collar is still very damp. with
piece of smooth wood like a fork
handle the face of the collar, new or
old. should be beaten all along just
that portion which will come in con-
