SLEEP AND NERVE REST.

In the days when eight hours for
sleep were nominally regarded as an
hour too long for any self respecting
individual the exhausting character OF
modern life was unknown. There was
less wealth and more contentmcnt: less
competition and more security: fewer
distractions, but more simplicity.
Work was easier. slower. and care,
anxiety, apprehension-in a word, wor-
ry--did not feed. like the worm 4 tn
bud. upon the hours exempt from toll.
We are remorseiess In overtaxing the
delicate mechanis OF our minds and
nerves. The best walker. for instance,

The modern man is subject TO as

that we burn the candle at both ends

that the amount OF rest we allow for

WHAT MAKES eALKY HORSES.

There are two things which are the
cause OF more balky horses than all
other things put together. These are
overlooking and bad fitting collars and
harnesses. The young horse should be
broken to wear the harness first, ard
then by easy stages IL should be- taught
how To pull. A young colt does not
know very much about draft work. No
che driver must handle the animal with
a great deal OF patience and care. Even
