However great the temptation to sell
the best that one raises. 1t is the part
Of wisdom to save this for breeding
purposes, and this holds whether it be
live stock, ponltry or grain.

The matter of breaking the colt is
one that should receive attention from
the first If a gentle and tractable horse
is desired. In the same way the little
heifer calf should be petted and han
died as If In the act Of milking. and
she will become used to the process
and will not be vexed by 1t when her
FIRST calf comes and she really has to
be MIXED. Most animals respond in a
remarkable manner to kind, gentle
treatment and caresses. and the ease
with which they are handled and cared
for as a result repays the owner for
the trouble he takes.

Bird friends all over the country will
rejoice over the good news which
comes from Louisiana to the effect that
after four years Of strenuous fighting
the state legislature has at last passed
a law removing robins from the list Of
game birds for which there Is an open
shooting season. Ii Is said that last
winter during a period Of about six
weeks there were slaughtered by pot
hunters In that state alone over mil
lion robins. What this means In the
decreasing of the insect destroying
force of the country can hardly be es-
timated. 1t is hoped that Texas and
Alabama. the only two other states
which permit the ruthless slaughter of
the robin. Will soon realize the cash
nexus in bird preservation and fall
Into line.
