much, as, apart from his one little de-
lusion he was really very decent sort
indeed.

that he could sing got so firmly I'M
planted in Bob's head.
He took his place in the choir Of the
little Wesleyan chapel, and no one liked
to hurt his feelings or minded till Hllda
Trevena, who had been away teaching
in London, came home to look after her
widowed father. Quite naturally, she
took command of the whole tiny fishing
Village as well as her father, and, incl.
dentally. became organist of the UMPIRE
tentious choir.
Now, Hilda Trevena was very fine
lovable maid of %, and Bob Pengelly
was fine youth of much the same age

VANITY.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And day and night are the same as
one;
The year grows green, and the year grows
brown,
And what is 1t all, when all is done7
Grains of somber or shining sand,
Gliding into or out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas,
And hundred ships are the same as
one;
And backward and forward blows the
breeze,
And what is 1t all, when all is done?
A tide with never shore in sight,
Getting steadily on to the night.
The fisher dropped his net in the stream,
And hundred streams are the same
- one.
And the maiden dreameth her love-lit
dream,
And what is 1t all, when all is done?
The net Of the fisher the burden
breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer
wakes.

that one night Bob should find himself
tongue-tied, and yet madly anxious to
speak, and should finally blurt out:
"Hilda, love 'ee!'
Two nights later, as they sat silent
for minute or two, after a couple of
hours of lover-talk, Hilda, from the best
Of motives, blundered:
"Bob," she said, "now we are EN-
gagged, we can speak plainly to each
other. Would you mind not singing In

Why, what do zee mean?" he ex-

she said gently, "but it's certainly not

He took his arm from around her

during breakfast, while Hilda was tell

principal means of livelihood. A bad
season meant hard winter-pinched

for cash to John Trevena. If he

AS John Trevena drank his coffee

Feeding .uor.e..


There are no iron-clad rules that can
be given In regard to feeding the farm
teams. If all horses were alike in re-
gard to their appetite, their capabilities
OF assimilating nourishment from their
food, their disposition in regard to
worrying, or fretting. as 1t is called,
and wasting their energy, then one
could gauge the amount Of feed accord.
ing to the size of the horse and the
amount of work he has to do and be
guided accordingly. One needs to OBJ.
serve and study the needs of each AMI
mal7 under his charge and meet the re-
qulrefnents. Most horses are inclined
to eat more of the hay and coarse feed
than they can digest 1t is safer to
give only as much as the stomach can
comfortably hold at time and allow
digestion to be accomplished before an
other feeding By feeding only such
amounts of either hay or grain us the
individual horse needs, and that, too,
regularly, the animal will keep in bet
ter condition, show more ambition and
perform the work in more satisfac-
tory manner than If the stomach is
overcrowded with too much forage.
The feed can be varied with benefit,
and be relished better than If only enc.
or two kinds of feed are given. One
OF the great secrets of success in feed
Ing is studying to find the needs of the
horse and being ready to supply them.

The New ARABIAN Alfalf..

Ihe new Arabian Alfalfa.
The new Arabian type of alfalfa re-
Gently introduced by the Department of

decided improvement on the common
type of California alfalfa, introduced
into this country by the early Spanish
settlers. 1t is one of those importa.
lions introduced by the adventurous ex-
plorers sent out by the government In
the search for novelties in the agricul-
tural line. 1t was brought about 1908
to southern California to the experi-
ment station near Pomona.
1t Is expected by those who have It
in charge that 1t will also stand more
frost. 1t may not be generally known
that when the young and tender shoots
Of alfalfa are full of sap and growth
frost which will nip other tender
vegetation will also touch alfalfa, but
not to ms great degree as 1t would
potatoes. According to j. w. Mills,
then in charge of the experiment sta
ton recently abandoned ut. Pomona. on
land where water was something like
ten feet below the surface, the native
alfalfa could, without irrigation. be
cut for hay four times during the year.
Under the same conditions the new
Arabian would cut six times.
In the Mecca country, in Riverside
'ounty. on the borders of the Colorado
'lesert, 1t is just as prolific in proper
ton. The, experiments there are not
yet completed. dating back only to last
May. The Brockman brothers are car
rying on the experiments in connection
with the experiment station. From May
to December 1t was cut seven times and
there is but little doubt about 1t being
possible to cut 1t twelve times year.
Some sanguine observers think It rnny
be cut sixteen times against ten times
for the ordinary alfalfa. The warm
days and nights there are very favor
lble for growth Of all kinds of vegeta-
ion that revel in extreme heat. These
onditions, however, stimulate an earl
er blossoming period and. consequent
shortening Of stalk.
As to the yield Of hay or fodder per
icre, no satisfactory estimate can be
.iven. In our Riverside climate, with
DOL nights and abundant water, seven
ons of hay per acre per annum, with
six or seven cuttings is a moderate es.
innate, based on thirty-fiye years ex.
s;,erience and observation. 4

Horse Collars and Their Use.
The closely padded, ill-fitting, soft
collar means suffering and shortens the
life of,the horse.
Years ago gave up the hit, sticky
pad," said an intelligent farmer, "and
have used only the close-fitting, hard
leather collar, which we have endeav.
ored to keep clean. This clean collar,
with good washing of the shoulders
noon and nights, has generally sufficed
to keep them free from soreness. Still,
during the constant.use Of the riding
ctltivator in our cornfields the necks
sometimes gets sore, caused by the
weight and the moving of the collar
across the skin at each step of the
horse. We are all inclined to use col
lars too large for the horse. Much
pains should be taken In the first fitting
OF the collar, and IL 1t is thorough,
soaked and placed ON the horse while
still wet, 1t will usually shape Itself
to the shoulders. Another thing, we
try to avoid too low draft, The way
double harnesses are usually made all
the weight comes on the horses necks,
and there is constant tendency to
lower the draft, even until 1t comes
nearly to the point Of the shoulder.
This should be overcome as far as nos.
sible. The draft should be high enough
to insure an even bearing the entire
length of the shoulder, and neither
should the girth be buckled tight
enough to cause any draft on the ton Of
the neck. In fact girth is unneces-
sary and need never be used except
where the traces are attached TO the
load above right angle to the horses
shoulders. Steel collars are In use near
us, and am going TO try pair this
spring. think the principle is right,
and they strike me as being very con.
yenient."
