FOR THE FARMER.

1t is a good plan to train the colts
TO stay in the barn or pasture While
their mothers are at work.
Until they become accustomed to
having the mares leave them shut
them in a roomy box stall. 1t will
not take the colt long to become
accustomed to a separation of half
day ait time and, as we'll as being
better for the mares and their colts
| il saves the farmer an expenditure
in i'll temper.
The term breaking in connection
with putting horse or colt in the
harness for the first time is sugges
tive of violence. Try using the word
training.
Try giving your family an occasion
al half holiday along the banks of
some stream.
Keep the cultivator going in the
potatoes 1t will increase the yield.
Kindness and self-control are the
prime requisites in milking a heifer
for the first time.
A small cow that is fair mixer is
more profitable than big COW that is
an extra mixer.
Milking too rapidly is apt to make
fretful COW.

side the fireman, struck him in the
face several times. This was entire
ly uncalled for on the part of Til
gen, for Mckay would have gone a.
.nong peacefully had he been used
right. There was no occasion for the
arrest in the first place as Mckay
was minding his own business. Nc
Kay might have avoided the trouble,
|but being OF an independent nature
Thought THAT the policeman had no
business prying into his affairs. AS
1.-THE officer and Mckay neared the
Jail, Mckay and Tilgen came togeth'
er again, and Chief Hagen tried to
part them. Mckay hit Hagen's fingers
badly, and in the trial said that he
would have bitten off the whole hand
If he had had an opportunity. Hagen
slapped Mckay, it is said with his
opeo hand, after his fingers had been
bitten, or at any rate that lis what
the chief says. Mckay was let out
the next morning and ait his trial, nc
one appeared. Hagen Tilgen and
Bateman have been arrested, charged
with assault. They will appear be
fore Judge Davis for trial as soon as
jury can be secured. TIlgen has
been dismissed from the police force
This seems to be about all there
is to the unfortunate affair.
The petition presented Monday
might was referred to the proper com
mittee, burt no action has been tax
en. and there is likely that none
will be taken. Mayor CLARK says
that he is we'll satisfied with the
chief of police and with Bateman
and does not see why he should re
move them. He states that Hasa1
follows his instructions to the let
