 There is no point of greater i'm portance in selecting animals for the foundation of herd or in making pur chases of additions than to get per fectly healthy stock. Animals cho- sen should be critically examined and should afford evidence of being strong in constitution and of healthfu wig or. It is advised that all be tuber- culin tested, and this of course should be done by competent veterinarian. Besides the robust character of the Individuals, the breeding stock from which they are descended and the herd, stables and farms from which they come should be closely exam ined on the score of health. Breed Ing and rearing the animals needed to replenish and increase the herd and refusing to allow strange animals on the farm are the best safeguards against the introduction of disease.
 If purchases must be made let the new stock be strictly quarantined for
  with the herd. On every farm of any size a well-secluded building for stock quarantine and hospital suitably arranged and equipped is most use Full adjunct. This not needed for calv- ing cows or for cases of lameness or ordinary accident, but for cases of acute sickness, retention of afterbirth abortion or any symptoms of conta- gious disease it is essential Of course the building itself, it's care and the at- tendance upon its occupants must be subjected te regulations suitable to any hospital or quarantine.
 There are many of the ordinary ao cldents and ailments to which domes- tic animals are subject which can be managed by an intelligent owner or under his direction without profes- sional assistance.

warm stables and no exercise for prof. itable milk production are without a rational basis and certain to lead to disastrous results sooner or later. Ex- posture to storms and cold is equally injurious to the health and profit of COWS. A judicous mean is the provi- sion for moderate exercise in the open air and sunshine, and the application of the same common sense care for the comfort of COWS which one would approve for members of his own household
 Every member of the herd, young or old, should pass under the critical eye of the owner or his trusty assist ant daily. and preferably twice a day. The least symptom of disorder, like dulness, loss of appetite, rough coat and irregularity of milk, manure or urine, should be noted and promptly receive the attention which 1t de- serves. Experience Is needed on the part of the caretaker to detect and correct the beginnings of trouble and thus maintain the general health of the herd

After the plants food has been made in the green leaves, what Is done with it?" This is the natural question which students of plant life ask themselves. Careful investiga- tion shows that some is varfously changed and used in the leaves them selves, some is carried to other parts of the plant where it Is needed for the production of energy and the building up of new cells, and the surplus is stored away for the future needs of the plants. The place and manner of storage differ widely in diff ferent plants. Sometimes the surplus is accumulated in the form of various sugars, very often as starch and less frequently as mucilage similar in con- position to starch or some proteid compounds.
 There are difficulties encountered in storing this surplus food just where 1t is made. It may so obstruct the cells of the leaf that food making is hinder ed and leaves are usually rather small so they can contain only small reserve Besides many plants retain their leaves for a few months only,

or even years. The best known tn- stances are seen in bulbous plants, where the storage organs are the thick leaf bases that surround bit of stem in the center. A hyacinth bulb, glob- ular mass of leaves, reveals when cut through. the center a miniature cluster of flower buds in the center. Place the bulb in glass of water and. using the food stored in the leaves, the buds will expand into beautiful flowers.
 An excellent example of thick leaves producing a food storehouse is found in the American century plant, Agave Americana, found most abundantly in the warm regions of southern United States and the drier parts of Mexico and Central America. AS public parks and greenhouses have been multi. piled, century plants have become fa- miliar objects in many parts of the country. Found in hot dry countries they have successfully solved the prob lem of obtaining plenty of sunlight without exposing too much leaf sur face to the drying winds of the desert. Their leaves are long and thick, ar ranged in loose rosette and covered

FARM ENGINE
 MIGHTY HANDY
Little Five-Horse Power Machine Always Ready for Business
 Runs Separator. Saws Wood and Feed.
(By l.. R. FERRY.)

(By l.. k. FERRY J
 We have a little five horsepower gasoline engine that is a wonder. It does as much work as two men, at the right kind of job, and we can hardly get along without it. This powerful little machine is always ready for business. We can get up steam in 15 minutes, or less on a pinch, and 1t makes things hum. We run the sepa- rator with it, cut all the feed for eight COWS, run the silage cutter, saw wood in the winter and run the corn she'll CT. The engine is set in a little wood en shed lined with sheet iron, adjoin- ing the main floor of the barn, and the various machines are connected up on 30-foot pulley rod. Every man on the place can run it. It drinks less than dollars worth of gasoline per week, even during the busy season, and when it isn't working it isn't eating or drinking anything.
 The little engine pretty nearly earns Its keep by doing odd jobs for the neighbors. It shells nearly all the corn for the entire neighborhood, cleans much of the seed, and last winter the hired man loaded it on our low-wheel wagon and went about the country saving wood He sawed up 150 cords in a short time; could have done more, but was called home to work in our own wood lot.

They have made him rich, and he has made their, lives happy.
 In Paris, it is said, horses are treat ed more cruelty than anywhere else in the world, ard because of this treatment, though they have the best street draft horses in the world, the Percheron, they live on the average but three years.

KINDNESS TO
 FARM ANIMALS
Gives to All of Them That Kindly Disposition Which Makes Them Quiet, Tea ch d bIe and

(By $. c. MILLER.)

There is always a way to over come fear in our domestic animals and that is by kindness. Kindness from the day of their birth, and continued as long as they live. This gives to all of them that kindly disposition which makes them accommodating, quiet and teachable. and safe. It makes them loving and loyal. It adds to their length of life. A horse of a fretful disposition is old at ten, while one that has a quiet disposition may still be young at twenty. It is strange that we do not learn this. How often does a young man just

The illustration shown herewith was drawn from an actual photograph. The owner of the farm had no corn crop and wondered why. Apparently the ground had been broken up when it was dry and no attempt had beeaa made to reduce the big Jumps and put the soil into good condition for plant ing.
 Of course, soil in this condition would hardly produce an average
