We seldom miss the singing
Until the birds have flown,
We seldom miss the blossoms
Until the spring has gone.
We seldom miss the sunshine
Until the shadows fall,
We seldom regret the unkind

Until way past recall.
We seldom miss the laughter
Until the eyes are wet.
we seldom miss great happiness

opment In All Parts.

If owners OF dairy stock would al
ways remember that the calf of the
present is to be the cow of the future,
the treatment would be different in
the majority of cases. The food and
general management should be such
as will give full development to all
parts They need good care during
the cold season and should be housed
during rain or cold, biting winds;
whatever lessons their comfort or
warmth lessons vitality also, and that
means loss in growth.
The calf that is reared for place
IN the dairy herd should possess all
necessary qualifications for such an
important place. It's grandams on
both sides should have good record
at pail or churn. Examine udders at
suitable age and note any malforma-
tons; occasionally there will be found
three or sometimes five teats, an I'M
desirable number; sometimes there
will be double teat, which will prove
a troublesome feature. 1t will be bet
ter to discard all such.
Handle the calves gently, groom
daily and they SOON become accus-
toned to it. Much of the nervousness
which we see in the, young COW can
be done away with If calves are given
proper treatment. Teach them to lead
from the very first. We all know how
annoying it is to try to lead a mature
animal that has not been broke TO it,

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, ian. 29.-
To one who was present when the
first Tuskegee Negro Conference met
at the Tuskegee Institute, twenty
four years ago, and who followed the
conferences held during the subse-
quent ten years, something was miss
ing from the monster crowds which
met today to visit or have part in the
Tuskegee Negro conference of farm.
ers which has just closed.
This something" was the once ia
miliar type of old colored men and
women, carelessly dressed, primitive,
timid, but ready to stand up in the
conference and tell about their trou-
bles and hindrances. Many times dur
ing the day persons who saw the ear
lier conferences were heard to re-
mark that there was a difference
that the old bandana handkerchief is
seldom seen now at the conference,
that coatless discouraged men seldom
appear as old old, and that few per-
troubles"
How Program Has Changed.
The old men and women were here
today in numbers as of yore; but the
habits, manners, dress, and general
views of things which made them so
picturesque some twenty years ago
have largely disappeared.
Twenty-four years ago, the Tuske'
gee Negro conference was started
with the idea of helping encourage
the colored people to get out of debt
and to abandon the one-room cabins
for better and more comfrtable
homes. Steadily the Conference
"pegged" away with these objects in
view. Slowly improvements began to
be observed; and year after year the
colored farmers began to come back
and tell proudly how they had gotten
out of debt and had added more
rooms to their houses. u
The Conference widened its pro-
gram and began working for better
teachers, better ministers and longer
school terms. Very soon there was
added to the program campaign for
the ownership of homes and land.
Visitors to the Conference, from all
parts of the oSuth, caught the inspir-
alton of the slogan, Buy home and
some land; get good preacher and
keep him; lengtnen the school term
and employ a worthy teahcer''; and
these visitors went back home and
sent the message far and wide. If
any one will take the trouble to eX-
anime the United States Census Re-
ports and the proceedings of the Tus.
kegee Conference, he will find that
negroes made the greatest advance in
home-ownership during the period
1900-1910-in which the Tuskegee
Conference was hammering home the
entreaty to colored people in the
