FARMERS LOSING COLTS
Considerable Loss This Sprinu Re-
DOrted Bv Horse Breeders.

Much complaint is being heard
among the horse breeders of the
deaths of Young colts this spring.
The loss is falling quite heavily up-
on manv of the farmers. Some of
the big horse breeders have lost
nearly all of their spring crop of
colts and everyone is worried. The
cause is thought to be the Door qua
litv of corn fed. though some are in
clined to attribute it to other causes
There is much doubt. however. as to
lust what is causing the loss.
+. p. and j. H. Woods are said
to have lost nine colts. Jake Robin

THE LIES, CHILDREN FELL.

Some children lie because they
want to show off and brag, others
because they are too timid It is
clear that the lies Of two children
differing in this way must be treated
by entirely different methods. For
the Wanting lie it is sufficient to de-
feat its purpose by showing that the
boast cannot be carried oct. The
braggart is made to descend from
the pedestal Of the hero to the level
of the fool.
A little girl was sent on an Grand
to the store to get a leaf OF bread,
and came back saying that there was
no more to be had The mother, OF
course, knew that that could not be,
and soon found cut that the child
had forgotten what she was to get
and was afraid Of being ridicuIad
for forgetting. Here the cause Of the
lie was timidity. TIC punish such a
child would result in making her
more timid. IN a case Of this kind
a mother ought to develop the SELF
confidence of the child instead Of
Furnishing her for her untruthful-
ness.
LII dnCtHGI CLASS GIC TIE Hes
caused by seldshness, the desire to
gain. Such lies often appear in the
games Of children. They are bad
because they make them unscrupu-
lous and grasping. Some children
will be cured by keeping them away
from all games for time. With
others an appeal to the conscience
will be sufficient.
Every normal child has instincts
that can be developed into habits Of
truthfulness. Even more important
than the right kind of treatment for
untruthfulnes 81 the necessity for an
atmosphere in which the spirit of
truthfulness is all-pervading.. Some
day watch yourself, and notice how
often you tell untruths to your
child; how often he hears you tell
so-called white lies" to your neigh
bors how often he hears you pre-
varicate and exaggerate. - The
Housekeeper.
