can" said the Wolf, although he al
most never praised others.
Now there is division among those
of Animalland. The Forest clan is op-
posed to the Field clan. and there Is
rivalry between the two just like that
between two schools.
When one Of the Forest dwellers
boosted of the Deers great speed to
one OF the Field jewellers the latter re-
record jumps.
NO one can jump as far as the Rab-
bit. and that Is as straight as pine"
the Field jewellers would say.
Finally at one Of the reunions Of the
two clans Of Anima Hand a match was
arranged between the two champions
and a nice, large pair Of antlers was
ordered to be made as prize for the
winner OF race. They were to start
together from one side Of thicket and
go through 1t, then turn and come
back, and the one who came out first
was to get the horns.
On the day fixed for the race all AMI
maitland turned out in their best furs.
When this first pair Of antlers was laid
at the edge Of the thicket to mark the
starting place every one gathered
around them to admire them. While
every one else was looking at the prize
the Rabbit. who is tricky fellow,
said: Il don't know this part Of the
country very well; want to take "A
look through the bushes where I'm GO
ing to run"
Then as he hoped away into the
thicket he racked his brains for plan
which would make him win the horns,
had seen.
The Judges Of the race finally called
every one to one side OF the horns and
then 1t was discovered that the Rabbit
was absent. They sent a messenger to
look for him. and away in the middle
Of the thlcket he found the Rabbit
gnawing for dear life cutting down
bushes to make a path for himself
When the Rabbit came out at last
the Judges accused him Of cheating,
but he denied 1t until they all went
into the thicket and found the path he
had made
Everybody agreed that such trick
ster had no right to enter the race at
all, so they gave the horns to the Deer.
who was admitted to be the best run
ner in Animalla and he has worn
them ever since; then the judges
agreed that as the Rabbit was so fond
Of cutting down bushes he might do
that for a living thereafter. and so he
does to this day as penalty for his
thickness.

Farm NOteA.

There is no single breed that pos
sesses only good qualities.
A cross-bred animal should never be-
chosen as breeder.
Nothing SO surely impoverishes tho
farm as the selling of hay.
With improved stock, to insure sue
cess, must come improved treatment.
Any kind of live stock will depre-
ciate in value when cut short in their
ratiOns.
In hot weather especially horses
subject to collie should be handled
with great care.
Always sift coal ashes before put
ting them in the dust box for the use
Of poultry.
All things consde. d, the best place
to put manure is on a freshly powed
soil Haul out as fast as made.
In buying a horse reject one with
scraggy hips. They never do credit
to feeding. particularly If also slack
in the loins.
1t Is much easier to tell how thing
should be done than it is to demon
strate the advantages of a plan by ex-
pertinent.
Circumstances and management
have about as much to do in making
mutton growing profitable as in turn
ing the scale toward profit in any other
farm product.
After the harvest work is finished up
Is good time to put in drainage
where needed. This is something that
should be done thoroughly and we'll,
and not hurriedly.
Reject a horse with forelegs not
straight They will not stand wear.
Stand behind the horse as he walks
away from you and you will be able
to notice these defects II they exist.
