Of sleeper.
A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the
sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps.
Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in
the sleeper, the sleeper carries the
sleeper over the sleeper under the
sleeper until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by
striking the sleeper on the sleeper,
and there is no longer AMI sleeper

CHARGE ON THE COMMUNITY
Care Of Those Afflicted With Tubereu-
losis Plainly Drag on the
General Welfare.

DR.. II. L. Barnes, superintendent Of
the Rhode Island state sanitarium,
has recently demonstrated by some
interesting studies of patients dis
charged as apparently cured" from
that institution, that sanatorium is
a sound investment for any state or
city. The gross earnings of 40 ex-
patients obtained in 1911 amounted to
S102,752, and those Of 211 cases in
1912, to $112,021. BY applying the
same average earnings to all ex-pa-
tients of the sanitorium living in 1911
and 1912, DR.. Barnes concludes that
their income in these two years was
1851, 600 This sum is more than three
times the cost of maintenance of the
sanatorium, including interest at four
per cent. on the original investment
and depreciation charges. DR.. Barnes
concludes, however, while institu-
tions for the cure of tuberculosis are
good Investments, there is good rea-
son for thinking that institutions for
the isolation Of far advanced cases
would be still better Investments"

PROPER TRAINING or COLTS
Two-ThIrds Of Horses Called Vicious
Can Be Managed by Judlclous
Treatment--Many Spoiled.

Many valuable horses are spoiled by
improper or harsh treatment in train
ing. A man who is incapable of un-
derstanding the disposition Of horses
is certainly incapable Of training
them. Two-thirds Of the horses that
have been called vicious can be man
aged by proper treatment, says the
Farm and Home.
1t is bad policy to train colt un-
less he is in the best Of spirits. The
brain viii be more active, therefore
the disposition easier to control. On
the other hand, If you train a colt
while he is thin In flesh, in poor spir-
its and on light food, as some men do,
he viii not take notice Of objects, and
when on good feed later he is not well
trained. Have them in good spirits,
give plenty Of feed, and us less whip.

rs In every other country under the
sun, where they have made them
selves indispensable. They are not
only very useful around sheep, but
can easily be taught to drive cattle
and to keep a general watch over
them, as well as Of hogs and of the
poultry. Many a collie has learned to
keep fowls out Of the garden and away
from the front Of the house without
ever doing any damage to them.
The price Of collies, as with fowls,
depends greatly upon the quality and
what they are wanted for. Some of
our highest show types of colIies are
the most intelligent and useful around
the farm. Good puppies sell to the
farmers at from $500 to $1,000 each.
The fancier who desires to raise col
lie puppies pays from $40 to $3.50 for
puppies not over two to four weeks
odd.
One collie was brought to this
country from England several years
ago for $4,000, and one came last
year at the reported price Of $500.
Every year several change hands at
$1,000 each, and many at 500 up.
ColIies can be trained easily and
quickly, to do many useful things but
there is one thing that should be
borne in mind, and that is, the train
ing should be done by only one per
son. Do not let every member Of the
family take hand in the training or
the result will be spoiled dog. When
well trained, no farmer will ever re-
greet having spent a little time and
money on collie.

SELECTION or FEEDER STEER
Width and Straightness Of Back, With
Accompanying WeII-sprung Rib,
Most Desired.

While the butcher desires fineness
Of bone and high quality in all parts
SO that there shall be little waste on
the block, it is not desirable to have
this go to extremes. A steer with too
much refinement, as indicated by a
light bone and frail head, and small
paunch, will not be able to stand the
strain of heavy feeding, and then fin
ish out with the great weight that is
desired.
No one point is considered more inn
portant in selecting feeder steers than
the width and straightness of the
back, with the accompanying we'll
sprung rib. 1t is an index to the feed
ing quality and points to the ability to
put on meat in the expensive cuts.

MAKING THE FLOWING EASIER
Hardest Work That the Farm Horses
Are Called Upon TO Perform
Keep Shares sharpensd.

Flowing is at best the hardest work
our farm horses have to perform.
Few ploW teams are not doing 10 to
80 per cent. Of unnecessary work. The
writer has seen plows which he be-
heyed we're pulling SO per cent harder
than they should, writes e. w. Ham
ilton in an exchange.
We are told that about so per cent.
of the draft Of a pillow il due to the
cutting Of the furrow slice. The con.
dition Of the cutting edge must then
be Of first Importance. Expert pillow.
men recognize this and in COMPETE
tons file their shares to knife edges
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown S6 per
cent. heavier draft than a new share.
Again, engine plows Of the same
make and size have under the same
conditions shown As per cent. differ
ence in draft in favor of the new fresh
ly filed shares over resharpened
shares in ordinary condition. II will
certainly pay to keep the plowshares
sharp and in proper form.
The set and adjustment Of pillow
has almost as much to do with the
draft as condition of the share. A
riding pillow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little Or no harder than a
walking plow or pIows Of the same
widths. Yet how many do it? About
80 per cent. of the draft of a walking
pillow Is due to the friction of the
plow on the bottom and side of the
furrow. In the riding plow this fric-
ton is eliminated by carrying the
weight and down and side pressure of
pillow bottom on wheels.
To accomplish this the rear furrow
wheel is set out about an inch and a
quarter so that Landslide cannot touch
the side furrow. The wheel is also
set down so the heel Of Landslide is
raised off the bottom of furrow. When
so set the plow bottom will sink into
the ground and hang there. When
pillow bottoms float" in the frame
none of the bottom and side pressure
is removed and the draft of the bot
toms is the same as that of the walk
ing plows to which must be added that
due to weight of plow frame and
driver.

COLLIE ON THE FARM
Good Dog Is as Essential as
Other Live Stock.
Roush-coated Scotch Variety Is Not
Only Useful Around Sheep, but
Car 5e Taught to Drive Cat
tie and Keep Watch.

There is nothing more companion,
able when rambling through the
woods or walking in the country than
a fine dog. On the farm a dog-a
good one-is as essential as other live
stock.
Ihere - no animal more intelligent
or sagacious than collie, and no doe
IS more suitable for the farmer. Col.
lies are very beautiful, graceful in
every movement and are active all the
time. Their heavy coat adds to their
beauty, and enables them to with
stand all kinds Of exposure. A collie
is easily taught and soon learns to
de5,aseful duties about the place with
out bidding They think and act for
themselves In an emergency, making
most excellent watchdogs, and always
show loyalty and love for their mas
ter.
II you have never taken a fancy to
dog just get good intelligent collie
and you will in short time think
nearly as much OF him as any member
OF the family They make fine com
panions for women and children. They
are very affectionate and their affec-
lions are strong and lasting.
The rough-coated Scotch collie is
one Of the oldest breeds Of dogs. It's
history extends way back into ancient
times when dogs Of this breed were
used by the shepherds to care for
their fiocks. It is today used for this
same purpose not only in the west
among the mountains and the plains,
but in England and Scotland, as well

Getting seed Grain Early.

Do not wait until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. Do it
while you have plenty Of grain at
hand from which to select The best
twenty-five bushels Of grain out Of a
hundred bushels are worth much
more for seed than is the grain that
can be cleaned from a much smaller
amount in the spring.
The cost of thus cleaning and grad
ing the grain is very slight, and 1t

grain at very little outlay.
