NIGHT.
Mysterious night! When our
first parents knew
Thee, from report divine, I
heard thy name
Did he not tremble for this
lovely frame
This glorious canopy Of light
and blue?
Yet meath a curtain of translu-
cent dew
Bathed in the rays Of the great
setting fame,
Hesperus, with the host of
heaven, came
And 10! creation widened in
mans view.
Who could have thought such
darkness lay concealed
Within thy beams, oh, sun! or
who could find,
While fly and leaf and insect
stood revealed
That to such countless orbs
thou mad'st US blind!
Why do we then shun death
with anxious strife
If light can thus deceive, where
fore not life?

SOME ESSENTIALS
 OF FARM ANIMALS
Farmer Makes Mistake in Breed. iEg Horses Not Adapted to
 His Requirements.

Pcor and worthless old plugs tug holding the lines.
 Even an old plug horse may be kept neat and clean and be afforded a sufi- cient amount of wholesome food so that it may be capable of doing some useful work.
 Tne grade sire is a proposition we should steer clear of.
 Frequency is a fixed characteristic in all purebred sires.
 The average farmer makes a mis- take when he breeds trotting horses or other breeds not adapted to his business.
 No one point is more essential than sound, well-shaped hoofs. The value of horse depends to a large extent upon his feet.
 The fact that horse has been i'm ported does not add one cent to it's intrinsic value for breeding purposes. However, many horse breeders believe that about the only requisite is that a stallion should come from some for eign country The facts are that America should be and is breeding her own draft horses instead of importing them.
 We are fast getting over the notion that we are dependent upon breeders of the old world fer improved live stock
 Potber!ed, hav-fed colts tell the story of improper feeding, slow growth and poor form.

The young colt needs the best of care on the farm, for its life depends upon the care 1t gets during the first few weeks of its life. Navel-ill in colts requires close attention, for the disease is caused by a micro-organ- ism. Several bacteria have been sus- pected of being esponsible for this malady. Every one of the suspected organisms Is found abundantly in manure and on objects contaminated with manure. The infective material gains entrance into the colt through the open umbilical cord. as a result of fits coming in contact with litter, floors or discharge from its dam, con- taminated by one of the organisms that cause the trouble.
 One of the easiest ways to prevent he disease is to insist upon clean stables. II isn't a hard task to keep the stalls clean if they are watched each day. Mares in the latest stages of gestation should be placed in 6 box stall that has been previously cleaned and disinfected. The bedding should be renewed frequently and the external genital organs of the mare and the neighboring tissues should be cleaned and disinfected with per cent solution of carbolic acid. or per cent solution of some coal tar dis infectant. Operations for opening ab- scesses and the removal of after-births from COWS should not be performed in the immediate vicinity of the preg- nant mare. IL is up to the farmer to watch these matters closely and a

great many cases of navel-ill will be avoided.
 Just as soon as the foal is dropped it should be placed on clean bedding. In any event, the umbilical cord of the foal should be washed in a dis injecting solution and tied. at about one and one-half inches from the body, with band or string which has pre- viously been soaked in a disinfectant The navel cord should then be severed about half inch below the band with sharp knife and again disinfected. The band. however. should not be frightened until pulsations of the blood vessels in the cord have ceased
 The stump of the cord is then paint. ed with strong carbolic acid solution, tincture of iodine, or a mixture o! equal parts of tincture of iodine and glycerin. Wash the stump of the cord daily with disinfectant and either paint it with an iodine mixture or car bolic acid, or dust it with some relia- ble antiseptic healing powder. The parchmentlike dried stump of the cord may be cut of after five days and wound washed with a disinfec- tant and dusted with powder until en. tirely healed Once the infection Of the navel cord has set in the cord should not be bound tightly. but should be washed in a disinfecting so- lution and a veterinarian called for the subsequent treatment.
 Any farming community can be properly sized up by the quality of its horses.

CARING FOR S0WS
 AT WEAVING TIME
Best Decrease Amount of Feed and Turn Her Into Separate
 Yard Away From Pigs.

It is best to decrease the amount of feed that is allowed the SOW a day or two before weaning time and turn her in a separate yard away from the pigs and allow her very little feed out side Of the pasture for four or five days, so that her milk flow will cease and not injure her for futrre breed ing.
 After this, bran and short feed in a thick slop and one or two ears of corn will prove an excellent ration for a few weeks. At all times pro vide plenty of pure water, charcoal and salt.
 After breeding increase the amount Of millfeed and feed less corn for about eight weeks and then supple ment the millfeed with one pound of tankage and find that one pound . day for each SOW will bring satisfac- tory results at tsrrowins time
