by too heavy feeding. Take away the corn

In America one can understand bet.

modern civilization is by it's very ma

it. by consolidating the interests of peo-
pies. of classes. of families, one with
another, by engaging men in severe and
continuous b for the increase of
material wealth. by charging the po-
!itical influence of the middle and low
err classes. which would suffer from
war. at last comes to dread the inter
ruptions. the u~pheavals, the destruction
of which war is the cause.
War is not easy. except in compare
lively simple societies. in which many
men can suspend their usual work for a
long time without serious damage. In
Europe the warlike spirit is. like di-
versity. a heritage from the past. and
modern civilization is rapidly drowning
it out, alternating the hatreds and the
antipathies upon which it feeds, instill-
ing into the soul of Europe. sore from
many centuries of terrible war. a little

GREEN ALFALFA Will KILL.

as they will gorge themselves with the
young feed until digestion is suspended,
fermentation sets in and they bloat to
that extent that they are choked to death
or possibly by actual rupture of the
paunch.
Remedies for this disease, hoven or
bloat, are we'll known, but unless the pas

the mouth to hold 1t open.
The best way is to prevent the trouble
by turning the cattle into the alfalfa

sun has dried the caves Of moisture. Some
dairymen even go so far as not to give
the cows more than 30 minutes run in the
alfalfa field.

Farm Notes
ADVICE TO HORSE OWNERS.

AOVlSG ~ OHS6 OWNERS.
Spring Is close at hand and 1t is time
10 be getting ready to put in the crops.
Among other things TO think of in this
connection is the matter of getting the
horses into condition., writes G. H. Glover,
ID. V. s., of the Colorado Agricultural
college. h first work in the spring is
the hardest Of the year. and the horses
are the least prepared to do heavy work.
10 be deprived of the use of a horse in
the spring is serious, even though the
horse is not greatly deprecated in value
or lost entirely. Young horses, especially,
should be broken and given some work
during the winter and should be fed some
grain. This Will tougher their shoulders.
and at the Same time they will have
become accustomed to grain and will,
therefore, be less liable to collie. and in
every way better able to stand the work.
A sudden change of food i'm horses is
always dangerous, but to start Il colt on
grain. with heavy work. that has never
mad either, is almost sure to be disastrous.
A young horse especially cannot stand
heavy pulling all day on soft ground, UNI
less his shoulders are we'll hardened by
regular work in the collar.
Here are a few suggestions which will
be we'll worth remembering: When a
horse is tired. he is much more subject
TO collie. DO not change the feed on the
horse during heavy spring work. There is

wheat than there is in feeding oats. Water
your horses when YOU first bring them
IN from the field: then let them eat hay
for u half hour, and give them their grain
last. Pull their shoes off while doing
the spring work.
Remember. the horse will have a heavy
coat of hair, and will, therefore, sweat
easily, and he all the more likely TO catch
cold and get pneumonia. For the first
week or two battle the neck and shoulders
with cold water every night after the
work is done. See that the collar fits snug
and that the names are buckled up tight.
The shoulders are less likely to be scalded
and bruised without q pad than with 1t.
If the horse gets ~sweenied, he will have
TO be laid off for several months. Guard
gains that dangerous disease-aXatouria.
This disease almost invariably comes on
after the horse has been resting two or
three days during a storm and kept on
full feed. Reduce the grain at least one-
half while the horse is not at work.
Founder is caused from too much feed,
a sudden change of food, or q drink OF
water when the animal is warm. Dis
temper is especially liable to attack the
young horse in the spring of the year,
just when their services are most valu-
able. This disease Is contagious, and care
should be exercised against exposing the
young horses to the infection. The most
common way that young horses get this
disease Is when they are taken to town
and allowed to drink out of public water
ing troughs and tied to h~itcling posts
where other horses nave been tied that

KITES ARE POPULAR
Flying Machine" Toys Have
Become the Craze in Paris
and Elsewhere.
From New York American.

Paris-It is a sign of the times that
diabolo has gone and that toy aero
planes have taken the place of the re-
NiNed Chinese game. The Tuileries
gardens. which practically saw the
birth of the diabolo craze. are low
crowded by players of a%eroplane games,
chief among them being the pursuit of
the "Diabolical Bird
The 'Diabolical Bird" is Il cardboard
or SILK representation of Il large swal-
low pasted or fastened over q light wire
frame. At the end nearest the beak is
a hook. which, on being attached to a
piece of string and sent up with a pair
of diabolo sticks. causes the bird to
fly to a great height and then settle
down gently to the ground. PLAYERS
soon acquire considerable dexteritv in
handling the bird so tina it can be
made to shoot a distance Of 200 Yards
or so in any direction. If there is any
wind the wings can be turne down SO
as to catch the breeze. and then it will
remain up for as long as a minute
or SO.
The toy is made in various sizes and
shapes of birds. but all practically
based on the same principle-that is,
q pair OF diabolo sticks. A perfected
form OF this toy is known as the Loop
Ing Bird. ANY boy can make Il print
tive sort of "Diabolical Bird in his

sTAeLiNe COWS.

While cows ought to be provided with
q warm stable in which they can be
housed on stormy days and bad weather.
they must have outdoor exercise and the
fresh air in order to do well. The de-
partment of agriculture has received a
consular report from Germany giving a
record of cows that were kept indoors and
others that had outdoor exercise. During
the period of 10 days last November in
which the COWS were turned out for three
hours each day a herd of 50 cows pro-
duced an average each day of 1.161 pounds
OF milk and 5S.5 pounds of butter, whereas
during the preceding 10 days. in which
they were kept the entire day in the
stall, the same cows produced on the
average but l,349 pounds of milk per day
and 500 pounds Of butter. The general
health and appetite OF the cows improved
by the period out Of doors each day.
