been made as much use of as possible
and an old horse or two are often very
useful on the farm-should be given n

When these horses are put out and
rested a month or so-and this is none
too long-they should have their shoes
taken Off and run barefooted. Hacks
which have been much employed dur

A horse that really needs a rest should
have nothing short of one month. Two
would be better in many cases, while
three months will retuvenate most
animals in satisfactory manner.
If possessed of any ailments which
no veterinarian can relieve or remove,
this attention should be given when
grazing begins, or grazing should fol-
low the treatment closely, If it cannot
be accomplished when on grass and
out. The most favorable land for re.
cruiting horses is that of n marshy
character. Leg and foot ailments are
the most common, and soft ground is
desirable as remedy, but it should
always be associated with good grass.

EgE-EntinR Habit.

"The egg-eating habit is laid to q
good many causes. However, in my
experience | have seldom noticed it
where plenty of oyster shall or she'll
forming material was at hand. 1t
generally has its beginning where
fowls get to laying softshelled eggs
There are two reason for this-a soft
shelled egg is an invitation to fowl
to help itself and also if they did not
need the shell element they would
not lay soft shells unless in the case
where the fowls are over-fat," says c..
A. Stone in Poultry Standard. "There
are good many remedies, but have
never run across any that were abso-
lutely sure every time. The most prac-
tical way | have ever struck is to catch
the leader. if possible at the very be-
ginning, before the flock has learned
the trick, and apply the hatchet cure.
Or where the habit is universal supply
all the oyster shells they can eat.
Keep them hustling for their feed.
Gather the eggs as often as possible;
don't leave any in the nest If you can
possibly help it. Also supply liberal
amount of animal food, piece of raw
meat hung up where they will have to
jump for it will detract their atten-
tion, as with other habits. Then stock
up with number of loaded eggs.
Take few eggs and cr.ck them
apart, keeping the shell as whole as
possible. Then make paste, mixed
up with a liberal supply of red pepper.

something similar; now by filling the

CURING ALFALFA.

Many farmers who have had their
first experience with alfalfa have had
some difficulty in curing the hay. They
treat it as they do timothy or other
grasses, and find it loses much of its
virtue cured in this manner. As a
matter Of fact such a process Is not
curing, but drying, and alfalfa will not
stand drying.
The best plan Of curing It which
has yet been tried Is to rake the alfalfa
into winrows as soon as it can be
handled to advantage. 1t Is then
cooked up into small cocks and covered
with the regulation muslin hay caps,
which have weights at the corners.
In this way 1t cures perfectly if left
for five or six days, ana is then taken
out. allowed TO dry in the sun for half
a day, and then carted to the barn.
This plan holds the color in the alfalfa
and cures the plant perfectly without
drying 1t out. II those who have had
trouble with the curing of alfalfa will
try this plan there viii be no trouble
in curing the hay 50 as TO retain It's

Alfalfa as "a Hog Food.

speaker said that Sin no way will alf-
alfa yield larger return than as a

very large returns. | know one who
Kept ten head of hogs to the acre Of alf-
alta, and they were not able to keep 1t
down, and he cut it for hay once and
got ton TO the acre. 1t is possible to
grow good large hogs on alfalfa with
cut any other food, but the best results
have been obtained from feeding a
small amount of some other food along
with it, such as corn. l would feed
about two ears per day to hogs pas

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORN7
JULY FIRST.
Humility, the Foundation virtue.---
Matt. 2o:20-2s; | Pet. SIS.


To be served requires no greatness;
those only require greatness that
serve.
Christ came TO show us God as the
Infinite Servant, the great Sslf-Giver;
who henceforth dares scorn o SER
want?
Humility is the true Gle Il of gold /:
no royal robe is so resp andent.
There is no more certa.l omen of
failure than to have God against YOU
that Is, to be proud in spirit.
Suggestions.
Humility" is from the Latin
"humus," the ground; it is the
ground of all nobility, the foundation
virtue.
Humility is the foundation of wis
dom; the conceited man cannot be
taught.
Humility is the foundation of in.
fuence; men do not love self-lovers
Humility is the foundation of hap
piness; everweening ambition always
means misery, but modest content
ment means peace, whatever the lot
may be.
Humility is the basis of salvation.
Many men will not be saved because
they want to save themselves.
Illustrations.
Any teacher will testify that a
mediocre scholar who is teachable
will learn more than brilliant
scholar who thinks he knows it all.
The head of a church is called a
minister. j. e., q servant. The head
of a government is called a prime
minister t. e., the first servant.
Questions.
Am l trying to exalt myself, or my
Saviour?
DO find my Joy in the service, or
the reward?
Do count any service of others
beneath me?

all the virtues. es.-Confucius.

From experiments in Sweden to de-
termine the cause of the unsatisfac-
tory results occasionally noted in the
sparation of milk, it has been shown
that when the milk has been strongly
aSitated (as in certain methods Of pas
tcuriZation), before separation, lower
percentage of cream is obtained. In
the skim milk, when separated under
good conditions. the percentage of fat
should not exceed Oh per cent; If the
milk has been previously agitated. this
amount may run up TO 05 per cent.
The explanation is that during the agi-
tation some of the large fat globules
are broken up into smaller sizes. al
though some may increase their vol
Cme. Very minute globules are sep
arated with difficulty; the smaller they
are the more effect has the sickness
or the milk upon them. The same diff
hculty is also noticed when dealing
with the milk of cows that have been
long in milk. the fat globues of their
milk being much smaller than when
newly calved.' The conclusion, drawn
IRON the experiments. is that milk in
tended for butter making should not
be subjected to any violent agitation
previous TO passing it through the
separator.
