GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Practise crop rotation.
Hens pursue their art of laying for
arts sake alone.
Forcing wears out horse more
than the work does.
Horticulture should be allowed to
bloom in every mans yard.
The safety Of a horse depends large
ly upon his early education.
The soil brings proper returns when
properly turned.
Don't allow the stock or wagons to
pack the soil in the orchard.
If you want to please the pigs do not
conllne them to a small pen.
When man trains horse with a
club he shows a lack of training him
self.
The idea of an incubator does not
set well with the hen that wants to
set herself.
Horses that are used exclusively on
the farm and do no road work should
go unshod.
Most of the failures in the chicken
business are due to lack Of knowledge
and training.
Whenever a horse is pushed out OF
his natural gait, he works at dtsad'
vantage to himself.
An increased poultry population
means increased poultry pleasures and
poultry profits.
The man who gathers the crop is
the man who also has something to dc
with the prices.
Train up a colt in the way it should
walk and it will never grow into g
horse that will balk.
Good harness saves trouble. Coco
work cannot be done with poor har
ness. It pays to keep efficient har
ness.
The first education calf gets is IL
the art of drinking milk out of pail
All calves are opposed to education.

THE WORLD GOES ON.

We can do but part of the work to
be done.
} We can cheer but few of the souls
lat are sad;
We an win but a few of the fights to
be won
And make but few of the troubled
hearts glad.
We may toll as we will, by night and
by dty,
We may study and delve into
science and art
But when the end comes and friends
lay us away,
Another will follow and take up our
part.
We can learn but few OF the things
to be learned,
And solve but few of the problems
of earth;
And the world will go on, when the
roadway we've turned,
AS it did in the days before we had
birth,
We can make our selves great, but
not greater than all,
And be of some service to our fell
low-men,
But the moment Death carries us out
through the hall,
The world moves along just as
bravely again.
What we have done one who follows
60 ~,
The place We are filling another can
fir
Death sats off the man and takes him
cut Of view,
But the work he was doing is car
ried ON STILL
And so as we journey along and press
Performing the tasks that are ours,
day by day,
Let none of us think that when he
shall have gone
The wide world will suffer. That
isn't Gods way.
