Have the Team Matched.

a short time ago the writer spent
little time in watching q farmer who
was doing some grading. First he
plowed Up the soil and then distrib-
uted 1T around as he saw fit by means
OF scoop. His team was composed
OF two horses, one much larger than
the other, and 1t was surprising what
a lot of trouble and trying Of the mans
patience this team caused. In an
hours work he must have spent at
least fifteen or twenty minutes In fix
ing the whiffietrees and taking the
lines off the top of the names and
other such things. And both the
horses were entitled to an unlimited
amount of sympathy. Each time the
scoop was pushed down in order to be
filed and the strain on the traces
would come, just so sure would you
see the large horse dart ahead and the
small one be pulled back, which al
ways resulted in a>full stop and a new
tug at the traces in order to start the
scoop again. How those horses ever
managed to keep from having sore
shoulders was a mystery, and so for
the man keeping his temper-well, the
horses, if Ii were possible to, could
speak from experience. = New York

WHAT EITHER DOES.

Mothers may talk, work, struggle, to
make their sons models by which to
shape new heaven and a new earth.
But the boys world is in the man who
is IN his father, and the boy believes
that, whatever may be right on Sundays
or at prayer time, the things that arc
really good, that really count in life,
are what father does. Moreover, 1t is
what father does which defines the
means with which the boy shall work,
the sphere wherein his efforts shall be
shaped. In a word, what father does
is the beginning as it is the end Of the
boys achievements.

As a rule, n poultry-house intended

expensive proposition, for usually it is

is not generally desirable, and while it
costs more to build two smaller ones.
