cheer to some ore in trouble and say
kind things about those around you
leave off the unkind. Study your
lessons hard and stand first in your
class. Give your teacher as little
trouble as you can. Try and make
her burden little easier by obeying
her. Do all of your duties well and an
easy conscience will be your reward.
Master your own habits or else
they will master you. 1t is just as
easy for you to possess clean habits
as bad ones, so by all means strive
for the right kind. Keep your teeth
clean. your body and clothing. Touch
not strong drinks, nor eat too much.
In other words, be temperant in what
you do. Be polite to the aged and
argue not, for they know best. If
you see an old man with heavy
load help him if you can. Do not
think too much of yourself. for ego
tism has ruined many a man. Think
of others and do unto them as you
would have them do unto you." Try
and make yourself a blessing to the
world instead of disgracing it.
Study your Bible daily, for it is
clean and true, and cannot lead you
astray. Also study your Sunday
school lesson and have it we'll pre-
pared. Do not miss Sunday-school
and also stay for church, for the
preacher has something indeed for
you to hear. Not only his message
will help you, but your example ofreg-
ular attendance will influence others.
Now,if | do these things, namely:
have clean habits, be considerate of
others and keep the Sabbath. surely
my days will be well spent, for |
will be an honest Christian and this
thought will continual run through

CURING RINGW0RM IN CALVES
Treatment 10 Simple and Effective,

This In q skin disease that appears
most frequently during the late win.
ter and early spring. Its presence Ii
shown by the appearance Of scabby
areas that vary from half the size Of
q penny to that Of dollar, and even
larger. The hair falls out, and the
surface Of the scabby area 1t covered
with a fine white scurf. It shows oft.
enest about the calves heads and
necks, but may also appear on any
part Of the body.
Ringworm 10 caused by q small
parasite that burrows In the skin. Its
contagious nature Is we'll demon.
strated by the fact that the diseased
animals spread It by rubbing against
others that are healthy. The fact that
heads and necks come in frequent
and close contact while the calves
are pushing and crowding about the
managers explains why the disease
appears oftenest on these parts.
Treatment is simple and effective.
requiring but q short time for com
plete cure in all ordinary cases.
Tincture Of iodine applied to the
scabs with q suitable brush or swab
several times, at intervals Of several
DAYS, is all that is required. When the
disease encircles the eyes, care must
be taken to avoid getting the medi
cine into them.

CARE OF Different BREEDS
Milk Function Requires Certain Kind
of Attention Whether Il 10 Found
In Jersey or HolsteIn

When the best results are desired
IN dairy work. there Ii very little to
De said regarding the difference In
care between the different dairy
breeds. says Hoard's Dairyman. MILK
junction requires q certain kind Of
care, whether 1t Ia found in the Jer-
sey, Ayrshire, Guernsey or Holstein.
Inc moment We expect q dairy COW
70 rustic for her living, that moment
she begins to depreciate as q dairy
animal. The milk-making function Of
tne modern dairy COW Is to q large
degree artificial, and to keep 1t up to
the highest state to which It has been
developed requires environment and
feeding. We presume that II we
would study Of the history Of the
Ayrshires, Guernseys and Jerseys, we
would find that the Ayrshire COW has
been forced to do more rustling, liv.
ing under more rugged and rough
conditions than either the Jersey or
Guernsey. The Ayrshire comes from
country the climate Of which is
colder, pastures rougher, and perhaps
less productive than the countries In
which the Guernseys and Jerseys
originate. But as the milk-making
junction becomes developed and the
animal is called upon to do a larger
amount Of work, It demands, whether
In the case Of Ayrshire, Jersey or any
other breed. about the same kind Of
care and treatment for the best re.
suits. II, however, we should reason
back to the environments under
which the Ayrshire, Guernsey and
Jersey originated, 1t would perhaps
not be out Of place to say that the
Ayrshire would be . better hustler
for her feed than the Jersey o.
Guernsey.
