GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Practise crop rotation.
Hens pursue their art of laying for
arts sake alone.
Forcing wear out a horse more
than the work does.
Horticulture should be allowed to
bloom in every mans yard.
The safety of a horse depends large
~ 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
conf1ne them to a small pen
When a man trains a 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
60 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 a disad-
vantage to himself.
An increased poultry population
ean increased poultry pleasures and
poultry profits.
The ma who gathers the crop is
the man who also has something to do
with the prices.
Train up a colt in the a 1t should
walk and it Will never grow into a
horse that will balk.
Good harness saves trouble. Good
work cannot be done with poor har-
ness. 1t pays to keep efficient har-
ness.
The first education a calf gets Is in
the art of drinking milk out of a pail.
ALI calves are opposed to education.

Proper
Care
of YOUNG
Children

rhea, bronchitis and soret throat, as also a susceptibility to contagious i'm
pressions, especially tubGcular. The Importance of good care cannot be
too much insisted on, as also the insBtence on healthy habits and the pro-
viding of proper amusement and employment.
While bread and flesh foods are taking the place Of cows milk very
greatly, they must not be allowed wholly to supphnt it. Young children
do not require SO much variety in their food az adults do. They do not
need meat more than once a day. Milk, bread and suet buildings should
form the staple detares. WeI-cooked fruit, orange juice and fresh vege-
tables ire most useful adjuncts.
Mothers should impress upon their children the necessity of thor
ough mashcation, then stomachs may not be compelled to do what the
teeth should.
Washing all over one a day is necessary. A child should sleep in a
cot or bed by itself in the SAN room with its parents.
Between the ages of three and five most children are the better for
twelve hours of sleep out Of the twenty-four. At seven years of age they
do not require day sleep, but should be in bed at 7:3O and up at six in
summer and seven in winter.
The best bed for this age is an ordinary iron bedstead with firm and
level wool and hair matress-not spring beds, which do not adapt them
selves so well to light bodies nor keep them uniformly warm.
Cotton sheets, blankets and countrpanes must be used according to
season.
The day clothing should be warm and merino put next the skin.

Watch Pastures Closely.

It is always a good plan during the
summer to watch the pastures closely
and see that they are not grazed down
too closely and especially so If the
weather is hot and dry. Serious in

standing exposed to a scorching sun.
Change the stock sufficiently often to

to the masculine mind, accustomed to more robust and
brutal doings, seem too trivial for a thought. Yet the
poets, the men who have been real lovers, the men who
have been great in the union of strength with tender
ness, recognize this. The perfect lover emembers
triles even when the quality of his love has waned.
Women are certainly deficient in the sense of
humor which makes men so sensitive to ridicule, and
that is to be deplored, for humor is the great sweet
ener of life, and they sometimes do mean, petty
things, and are not so sensitive in points of honor as
men. At least they attach less Importance to them.

waits for change, and a really pleasant afternoon can be spent by any
woman over her tea table, with her friends characters, lives and posses
sions spread out before her eager gaze. Here she is not sensitive. The
man is and loses a great deal of agreeable gossip in consequence.
The sensitiveness of woman takes a different form from that of man.
The sensitive, delicate-minded schoolboy that Mr.. Blathwayt speaks of is
ashamed Of his love for his mother, ashamed of any explosion of feeling,
ashamed Of his home and his sisters. He wants to be a man, and his
manhood evinces itself in dragging his mother down bylanes, hurrying
at school.
The schoolgirl, on the contrary, parades her parents, likes to hear
her schooImates remark on the fine stature of her father, on her mother
elegance IT the grandeur of their carriage. It is the same feeling ex-
pressed differently
A woman can never keep her own secres-she must confde in some
one, a husband, a confessor or sister. She is almost pathetic in her con-
fessons; she does not deny her foles, her lovers, her weaknesses, her debts
or her temptations. That is why she prefers a man as her confdant. He
is such a good listener. But it shows the extreme faith of optimism of
her nature that when she says to the recipient of her sorrows, "Of course,
my dear, you will never repeat this" she really believes it.
The senstiveness of woman displays itself in trifes-trifes which

From the provisions of the commit

powerful than the insurgents in any

would have control as well as respon-

fair representation. The insurgents
get their share in the doing away with
