There's reason as follows:

the teeth but brings down the saliva

Three-Year-Old Child One of the Bread

When women's wrappers are paid
for at the rate of 40 cents a dozen,
and silk waists at cents each, it is
easy to understand why even the help
of tiny children must be called upon to
earn a pittance for the makers. If the
children can do no more than thread
needles or pull out hastings their as
sistance is precious; If they are intel.
ligent enough to sew on buttons, or
make buttonholes, their help is more
precious still. AS soon as baby fingers
can move intelligently, they play an in
creasingly important part in the labor
of the household.
1t seems Incredible, I know, to talk
OF an infant three years old working
and some may regard the statement
that such little ones do work as sen
sational exaggeration. But it is liter
ally true. as is proved by the testi-
mony Of witnesses Of unimpeachable
character. A baby three years old can

can put the covers on paper boxes, or

Of eight can make artificial flowers al

The Bone Of the Horse

Few realize the great difference in
tho quality Of the bones of horses
The bones in the legs of some horses
are compact. almost like steel. The
bones in the legs of other horses are
very porous and can sustain a great
weight, but are not able to stand the
strain that comes on the more COM
pact bone. The Arabian horses are
noted for the strength of bone found
in their legs. Those bones seem in
some cases to be almost as hard as
steel. They enable the Arabian horse
to cover vast stretches of territory in
n short time. Every leap is great
strain on the bones Of the ankles and
feet, especially when the horse has a
rider on his back and is clearing OBJ
stacles at every bound. The horse
built for speed must have the compact
steel-like bone found In the Arabian.
as that kind of bone gives great
strength with little weight. This &C.
counts for the speed Of the Arabian.

1t is true that it costs little more
to feed COWS that give milk during

difference in the price Of the butter
is more than enough to pay the diff
ference in the price of feed. To
have cows ccme fresh in spring will
give plenty of milk for three months
from April until June. In summer the
flies and the hot sun, with dried-up
pastures, prevent the cows from Civ.
ing much milk. Then you have your

your COWS come fresh in fall. by feed

Colts should be taken to their win,

comes very severe as 1t is nature 8
law for animals to adapt themselves
to their environment. Cold sleeping
quarters induce heavy growth OF
hair, which is undesirable in any
horse. Turn the colts out every Gay
for exercise If the weather is dry
cold will not hurt for few hours a
day. Feed liberal heterogeneous ra-
ton to build up good sound bone and
muscle. A good ration is three parts
oats. three parts wheat bran. one part
oilmeal. together with good clover
hay for roughage and carrots now
and then. Pick up their feet often
and see that they are kept level with
rasp. Do not put them loose in a
box stall where you never have a
chance to handle them. but tie them
and handle them frequently. Always
be kind to them but let them know
that they are In your power and must

The Necessity for Spraying.
The Farmers Review has been ad-
vising farmers for many years to
adopt spraying as means of control
Ing the fungous and insect pests that
destroy the crops in their orchards.
Slowly about all of our orchardists
have come into line, but as yet there
are good many farmers with small
orchards that are taking their chances
with the apple scab and other pests.
We do not believe that it will be pos
sible to get the very best results with
spraying till we have induced every
man that has an orchard to take meas.
ures to protect that orchard from the
pests that assail 1t from the time the
buds begin to swell in the spring till
the leaves fall in the autumn. We have
watched the practice Of spraying since
the process came into vogue and are
sure that 1t Is process that the
farmer cannot afford to ignore. II
every farmer will take up the study
and practice Of spraying in earnest.
the fruit crop Of this country will be
enormously increased thereby-Farm-

Keep Young stock Growing.

Keep Young Stock Growing.
In what has recently been said ON
this subject in our columns the inten-
ton has not been to advise Just hAv-
Ing cattle hold their own through win
ter, 80 that they would be tided over
as cheaply as possible from fall to
spring That seems to have been the
idea one reader got from an article
advising economy in winter feeding,
and common sense is not trying to use
feed to keep out the bitterest cold of
that season of the year. We do not
believe in trying to fatten cattle in the
dead of winter, If they have to feed in
yards and sheds. 1t may be well
enough for those who have covered
yards or courts and every comfort for
feeding cattle to try to put ON fat
during the height of the winter sea
Dn, from Christmas until the end Of
February, but the other fellow, and
he Is the average farmer, cannot pos
stbly afford to feed forty-cent corn as
fuel to keep cattle warm and add
enough of it to make the said animal
fat. We believe that he will do far
better to merely keep his young cattle
growing steadily throughout winter.
and this can be done from the feeding
of comparatively cheap foods, SO that
the best advantage may be taken of
full bite of grass as soon as it comes
in spring. Semi-starvation of young
cattle or any kind of farm animal
through winter is every bit as poor
economy as trying to fatten cattle on
dear corn against every inclemency
OF cold weather. The spring-poor calf
or colt cannot make up for lost time
in less than two or three months when
turned out to pasture, and, indeed, he
never completely RECEIVERS from the
Ill effects Of struggling through the
winter or several winters on a bare
maintenance ration of the cheapest
kind Of roughage. It pays and pays
well to keep all young animals grow
Ing, and this requires not only an ade-
quate supply of roughage but rough
age that contains abundant nutriment.
and along with 1t will be necessary
and beneficial some grain. such as oats
and corn, and some bran. which helps
to supply bone-making material. We
tend to do feeding in lump" and
that is wrong. The best profit comes
from gains gradually but surely made
from the time the animal comes into
the world. Periodic feast and famine
won't do. Fit the animal to feed. then
fatten and finish 1t at the best time
of the year as regards weather and
market.-A. s. Alexander in Farmers
Review.

Noticing in the Review the account

too much confidence in the bull,
have been prompted to write my ex-
perience with one. My experience 10
that 1t is simply to know who is mas
ter. One time when was away my
wife thought she would help the work
along by getting the cows into the
yard, but very quickly changed her
mind when the bull became interest
ed in seeing woman in the field.
She made tracks for straw stack.
She ran around one end of the stack,
and the bull ran around the other
end. There happened to be fence
at the end my wife ran around and
while the bull was hemmed in behind
the stack she had time to get over
the fence into q yard and escape.
When the bull realized what had hap
pened he became almost frantic and
amused himself by hooking about a
ton of straw from the stack. He
then elevated his head and tail in
2:40 clip. When got home that
evening my wife related her expert
ence. told her I would have a
reckoning with Mr.. Prince. So put
him in small barnyard. The fence
was built by specification OF law SO
there was little chance of escape for
either of us. With the barn doors
and gate securely fastened the show
began. armed myself with three
tined pitchfork and took the leading
part. At the end of thirty minutes
anyone would have recognized that
there had been a bull fight enacted
In that cattle pen. 1t was a fight to
the finish and the bull was in until
the finish and then he was "all in"
A kinder or more gentle animal never
lived thereafter. He would not look
man or woman in the face. but
would put himself in the farthest
corner of the yard and would not go
out of the gate unless l gave him
