The breeders of the. trotting horse

years and years to get below two min

The bull should always be handled

stand that his attendant is his master.
1t is always advisable to train the bull

placed in his nose at an early date.
Never permit the bull to have his own
way about anything where you may
differ with him and insist upon prompt
obedience.
II is very easy to spoil the dispo-
sition of a bull by permitting children.
old as well as young, to play with him
or tease him. The man who is al.
ways prepared for trouble never has

II is the quiet bull that has never
horned anything that usually does the
damage, suddenly developing a vi
cious spirit and attacking his unsus-
pecting attendants.

Story OF a Man Who Was Max
Ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best Of Him.

On May 4th. 1915. the st. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained very inter
esting account Of the experiences OF .
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up a home.
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook. Saskatchewan. After recount.
ing his experiences OF few years, in
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with small amount OF capital, he
continues the story by stating that
in the fall after n fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses. complete set OF
farm machinery including two wagons
and Swell top buggy and eleven
head OF cattle. He continues, How

reading OF the splendid homesteads
that were to be had In Montana.
Wheat was cheap and thought It
would get cheaper, so / began to think
that homesteading as a moneymnking
proposition was better than farming.
did not stop TO consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as a matter
of fact had sold pork for IA cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept us
in groceries and more. we had now
four milch cows. two heifers coming In
and more growing up. We had a cream
separator, and some hogs. We had a
quarter section OF land that could
raise an abundance OF small grain,
roots and grass for feed. but | could
not see all that; had the moving

that much money, however, SO / came
down until / finally sold for s1,400.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third OF
Wnat tney nad cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have homestead in Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
We hai did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than We had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
OF our fields. We have about $500
worth of honest debts.
True, we have half section in
place of quarter but that is no good
to US, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work II.

"HE long home siege ends today
 as the bolstered Barons take \ to the road tonight for an ex- tended jaunt into the eneny's terri tory. At home the Barons have done well-not as well as we had hoped but well enough taking everything Into consideration.
 We won the first series with the Crackers and then cleaned up with the Gulls. Disaster followed as the tribe of Memphii trounced the Barons se- verely, five games out of seven. It was a painful blow to Baroniai hopes and pride.
 Following the Memphii the Look outs-the poor, faltering Lookouts- came and won the series, two games to one. However. We received the Vols with open arms and walloped them-three games out of four.
 If we win today the Travellers se- ries Is ours. We should win. The Barons played as good ball as they could yesterday-it was simply one of their off days.
 After todays game the Barons are off on a long road trip.
 The first stop is at Nashville.
 On the last road trip the Barons were unfortunately stricken with in- juries of various character. and Moley and his battered gang lost good many more games than they won. Let us hope the forthcoming voyage into darkest Tennessee will begin propit- iously.
 The Barons. now bolstered by the addition of new pitcher and a heavy hitting nfielder, should prove formid- able opponents on the road It Is quite certain that Molesworth will bol- ster other weak points in his team the moment they become apparent. and thus 1t behooves the local boys to play their heads off all the time.

It makes no difference what ties of friendship there might be between myself and the player; the moment a player becomes obsolete IS far as his usefulness to the Barons is concerned, his release is handed to him.
