And yet, strange to say, there were

struck several chords.
"This won't do" he said snappishly.

Before she could stop him he had
rung up the agent on the telephone, and
she was Mortified to hear him say:
Miss Kissock. the head gardener,
wants to know what you mean by
leaving the piano In such a condition.
She says if you don't have a man here

He flung down the receiver and re-

"Who authorized you to say that?'

the piano was tuned. Then the first

would bring him to inspect the

GREAT GROWTH OF THE

Communities Where Merchants Have

The marvellous growth Of the mail

culated to stagger humanity in local
communities where general merchants
or specialists In any sort OF merchan-
disc are struggling for ar existence
against the gigantic concerns In the
big cities which have back OF them the

writer In the Saturday Evening Post
tells how a large mail order house was

were valued at $4,000, 900. 1t issued

timately acquainted with the business
was said to have bought a large block
of it at a high figure. At current quo

CARING FOR THE FALL COLT
Keep Him Growing During Winter and
Wean Him When Grass Starts.


Wean Him When Grass Starts.
The youngster which arrives In tho
fall or early winter has exactly tho
same requirements as does his broth
er that begins his earthly existence in
the spring. To make conditions as
nearly as possible like those that can
be so easily provided in the spring
must be the aim. The colt then needs
liberal feeding with feed Of good quail
ity. He needs exercise and fresh air.
The fall colt requires more care and
attention. He cannot be turned out
in a pasture with his mother and DO
allowed to run week in and week out
Exercise must be provided. 1t most
often happens that there Is Just ono
fall colt on the farm. Usually without
serious Inconvenience the youngster
is made a pet and given the freedom
Of the barn and yards. He will get
exercise In roaming about and will pick
up a stray bite once In awhile.
In case that system Is not practiced
1t Is best to give the mother and the
| colt a big box stall by night and to
! allow them to run In an open yard by
day. Good bright clover or alfalfa hay
is probably the best substitute for
green grass that can be provided. If
the youngster is kept growing during
the first winter he will be ready to
| wean by the time grass starts.-Na-
tional Stockman and Farmer.

WORK FOR THE BULL GOOD

Letting Animal Stand Idle Harms Him
Physically and lmpairs His Useful
ness-How Young One Was Trained.

A Rhode Island correspondent Of the
Rural New Yorker writes as follows on
the subject Of putting the bull to work:
1t had always been my idea that a
bull should have some kind Of exercise
to keep him In good form for service
and also for his W good physically,
so | interested my herdsman, an ltal-
ian. who is very kind with the cattle,
In the subject and told him that | wish
ed him to teach Misty, my one-year-
old Guernsey bull, to work. A few
DAYS later we gave our young bull his
first lesson in harness. We took one
Of the extra single harnesses from the
horse barn and by taking up the straps
where it needed it we finally got the
harness to fit the bull first rate. We
used all of the harness except the bri-
die, and in its place we used a small
halter and snapped the reins to the
! rings I'm the halter, which are on both
sides of the mouthpiece.
The first days work was simple and
easy. The young bull was first led
down the lane (one-fourth mile and

a fencepost hitched to a whifletree.
Each day he was taught to do a little
more work or go a longer distance.
and soon we left off leading him and
he learned to be guided by the reins
only. At first he only pulled after him
a few ~fenceposts, but now he is larger,
stronger and understands more thor
oughly his work. so we let him pull the
stone drag with a moderate load and
also bring In fodder and food for the
twenty COWS in our herd. He almost
does the work of an extra horse. and
when he is older I feel sure that he will
easily do the equivalent Of q horse. At
present he does his work in a little two
wheel cart made by his keeper from
refuse material, the wheels coming
from an old hay loader, but soon he
will be taught to manage a larger
wagon, probably the lumber wagon.
We have never had any trouble in
teaching him anything that was right
for him to do, and we were always
/ gentle. but firm. with him. as do not
believe in being rough with young ami
