LIVE STOCK ON THE FARM.
f. q. uinkIer, New Jersey Expert
ment station.

The heartless horsemen who compels his
driving horse to work with its head mount
ed upward and held in place by severe
check rein should be compelled to wear a
cuff around his neck in the place Of a low
collar during warm weather. Just what is
to be gained by such cruel practices is
dificult to see, but one thing sure, it shows
a lack Of horse sense on the part of the
driver.
Gloucester County Democrat., 1907-08-08

Common or ordinary products can be pro-
duced by ordinary people, and are always
disposed Of at ordinary prices, but the man
who is not content TO dabble indiscrim-
inately into a series of projects, but who
settles down and does one thing or produces
one product which, is just little better
than that produced by his neighbor, is the
man who is going to receive the genuine
profit rather than mere living margin. II
be makes up his mind to raise draft horses
be must also make up his mind to finish
them through rather than to dispose Of
them when they are merely warmed up or
half fat. The labor question is almost
checking the advancement of the dairy
man. 1t costs no more to raise colt than
it does calf, and three or four-y year-old
grade draft horse is worth four times as
much as grade dairy COW Of the same age,
and the labor INVOLVED in caring for the
colt IS considerably less. The one draw
back in this State at the present time is the
lack OF desirable arast stations, but with
cooperation on the part of few breeders
in each locality, it would not be hard to
buy money making sire.
Gloucester County Democrat., 1907-08-08

However, just as long as we have horses
we will have men who will fail to recog-
nize the difference between mere margin.
and clear profit. The old plan Of our
forefathers Of selling of the animals that
would bring the largest amount of ready
cash. regardless Of their future value, will
always find plenty of followers. And just
so long as they continue this malpractice,
just SO long will there be an opportunity
for the feeders or middle men to reap the
harvest which they had no part in planting
or growing, realizing their entire profits by
buying both feed and animals from the less
skillful producer, and, adding shine and
finish TO the animals exterior, by few
weeks of generous feeding and careful
grooming, are able to dispose Of them as
finished products on market where the
supply exceeds the demand.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.

From the Chicago Tribune.
"'Don't trifie with cold is good ad-

may be vital in the case of a child.
Proper food, good ventilation, and dry,
warm clothing are the proper safeguards
against colds. II they are maintained

autumn, winter and spring, the chances
of a surprise from ordinary colds will be
slight. But the ordinary light cold will
become severe il neglected, and well

The greatest menace to child life at this
season OF the year is the neglected cold.
Whether it is child or adult, the cold,
slight or severe, the very best treatment
that can be adapted is to give Chamber

Her Little PRAYER.

Former Comptroller Edward M.
Grout of New York city tells pretty
little Christmas story.
He said that a little girl relative Of
his was visiting her grandmother on
Thanksgiving day. Already the child
had begun to speculate on what Santa
Claus was to bring her at Christmas
time. and as children-especially girls
will do when they are at the home
of an indulgent friend she began to
rummage through closets and drawers.
In the course of her investigation
she came upon brand new white muff
1t was the very thing she had wanted
and she knew that Santa Claus chief
purchasing agent-grandma-ha OBJ
tanned 1t for her.
Taxed with it, grandma admitted the
truth
But" she said you must forget all
about it until Christmas day"
That night as she was being put to
bed the child astonished her mother by
adding this to her evening prayer:
"Please, God, make me forget all
about the little white muff Santa Claus
is to bring. New York Times.

IN THE DAYS OF ga.
The Last Christmas of the Southern
Confederacy.

The Last Christmas of the Southern
Confederacy.
1--WE had some memorable Christmas
DAYS in the south during the war"
said Mrs. Zebulon B. Vance, wife OF
the late United States senator from
North Carolina. THAT of 1861 was
different from any that had preceded
it because we were in arms against the
Federal government, and many of the
male guests at southern homes that
day wore Confederate uniforms. Much
of the talk at the Christmas dinner
table was of sieges and battles and
marches. but we were all full of hope
and confidence.
christmas, 1862, found us but poor
ly prepared to celebrate 1t. Our sup
plies were few. and Confederate money
was at a heavy discount. Then came
the bitter year of 1868, with the fall of
Vicksburg and the defeat at Gettys-
burg. With sad faces, harmonizing
well with their dresses of coarse black
stuff, the women of the south devoted
themselves to picking lint and spinning
and weaving for husbands, fathers,
brothers and sweethearts in the field.
christmas, 1S64-the last Christmas
of the war-dawned, and what
gloomy festival it was for the people
of the south! OF manufactured prod
ucts we had practically none. Our
hairpins were made of long black
thorns, with a ball of sealing wax on
the end. We had made into dresses
every scrap of available material,
while our feet were incased in home
made cloth shoes. The slaves, having
heard of de Emancipation proclama-
tion,' knew that they were free and
had all scattered away. Desolation
seemed to reign over everything. or
all the Christmas days l have known
that last Christmas in the south In
wartime is the one of all others that L
am most certain never to forget

During the ten days preceding Christ

1,T50,0OO for the entire ten days during

both of these were among the parcels
treated" last Christmas Another long
coffin shaped box excited suspicion on
account of the odor emanating there
from. On opening it, however, nothing
more dreadful was found than young

other evil smelling hamper was found
to contain no fewer than 800 dead
mice, while yet third inclosed de-
funct puppy consigned for postmortem
purposes to an eminent surgeon.
Christmas presents of live animals
are constantly being sent through the
post Notwithstanding the fact that the
practice is strictly prohibited. Pigeons,
rabbits, white mice, rats, ferrets, silk
worms, lizards, snakes, guinea pigs
and even on one occasion pet lamb
have all been dealt with at some Pc
Rod or other.
No longer ago than last Christmas
eve a box was intercepted containing
$50 live frogs, and a short time before
twelve healthy young adders were dis
covered in an innocent looking hamper
which was supposed to contain poultry.

KING HEROD'S ROOSTER.
The Legend of St. Stephen, First of
the Noble Army of Martyrs.

the Noble Army OF martyrs.
Ever since that first Christmas eve
the cock has crowed all night long on
the anniversary to keep away evil
spirits, for the cock Is holy bird and
knowing one. There is pleasant
tale of him and st. Stephen, the first
martyr, whose day is Dec. 26, close by
his dear Lords.
st. Stephen was King Herod's stew
ard, 1t seems, who served him in the
kitchen and at table. One night as he
was bringing in the boar's head for his
masters dinner he saw the star shin
ing over Bethlehem. Immediately he
set down the huge platter and ex-
claimed:
mo longer, Herod, will be thy serv-
ant, for a greater King than thou is
born"
What aileth thee" cried the king
wrathfully. do you lack meat or
drink that you would desert my serv-
ice for another's"
Nay" answered Stephen; Il lack
neither meat nor drink, but the Child
that is born this night is greater than
all of us, and him only will l serve"
That is as true" quoth Herod, smit-
ing the table with his fist, ''as that this
roast cock ON the platter shall crow be-
fore u.s."
Hardly were the words out of his
mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowed Justify, "Christus ma
tus estr' At this proof that Stephens
words were true Herod was so angry
that he made his soldiers take Stephen
outside the walls of Jerusalem and
stone him to death. And this is the
reason why unto this day st. Stephen
is the patron of stonecutters.-Abbie
