Gratitude

LITTLE Sammy was generally at log
gerheads with his father, who had habit
of using his razor-strop in way that
was not in accordance with Sammy's views
One morning, after the razor-strop had
been more than usually busy, Sammy's
mother went out in the field to look for her
much-stropped child.
To her intense establishment she found
him fondling a huge goat for which he
usually professed deep hatred.
''Why, Sammy, darling, it is nice to
see you being so kind to poor Billyl Why
are you being so gentle with hims"
Over Sammy's face came look of un
speakable gratitude as he gave the won
dering goat another carrot.
He butted father into the pond this
morning."

In 1906 Diaghileff made an artistic Rus
sian invasion of Paris; picking out the
boldest and most characteristic canvases
of his young artist friends-among them
Bakst-took them quietly to the French
capital, and when all was ready invited
artistic, literary and social Paris to pass
Judgment upon the product of the brush
and palette of the Twentieth-C Century
Muscovite. The effect was sensational.
Daighileff felt rewarded for his success
of his first invasion of Paris and imme-
diately began his plans for the next sea-
son. There were more pictures, but there
was something besides, series of concerts
at the Opera But these Russian ventures
we're but the beginning.
Mr.. Diaghileff was only preparing the
ground. He had plans newer and bigger
to unfold-the apostheosis of choreogra-

WINTERING IDLE HORSES

n all the heavy work on most farms
has been finished and with the ap-
proach of winter horses are more or less
idle. Since idle horses give no return
in labor performed, the feeding should
be as economical as possible, and proper
care should be taken of the animals In
order that they may be in the best pos
sible condition for work in the early
spring.
Horses should not be confined to the
barn during the winter on liberal sup
ply of grain 1t is far better to trough"
them through the cold months. They
should be given the run Of the yard or
lot during the day. This should be pro
vided with protected shed, one that is
thoroughly dry and well provided with
bedding. While nature does her part and
protects the horse with heavy coat OF
hair during the cold months, the shed
is necessary in order to afford the nee
essary shelter and protection against
rains, snow, and cold winds. Winter
winds come mostly from the north and
northwest, and the shed should be so
situated and constructed as to give the
proper protection from this quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses the high
priced feeds should be avoided in order
to keep them in proper condition at the
lowest cost. 1t has been found that idle
horses do very well on winter feed
consisting of all the hay, oat straw, corn
stalks, or sorghums they will consume.
SO that little grain is necessary. Idle
ness also permits of more thorough
mastication of the feed, thus insuring
proper digestion.
From six to eight weeks before the
spring work is started the horses should
be put at light work and started on a
small grain ration in order that they
may be in proper condition for the work
required of them. The grain ration may
then be gradually increased until the
regular allowance has been reached for
the working season.
Growing colts require considerable
protein. They should be so fed as to
secure proper development and at
minimum cost Rough feed, such as
clean mixed hay, alfalfa, or clover, may
be fed along with a mixture of bran.
oats, and corn.

By Helen Rowland.

something Is bound to happen when woman goes into love affair with 1910 model theories and an 1880 model heart.
 Medusa had the magic faculty of turning her human lovers into stone but the problem of a girls life now adays consists in discovering how to turn human "stone" into a lover.
 It IS much easier for a girl to walk all over man in No 8 French heeled slippers than in No. , common sens4 boots.
 Most people marry because for the moment they find that they can't be happy apart, and therefore jump to the conclusion that they will be happy together.
 Some peoples minds and lives. like a lazy woman's clothespress, are full of junk" A few good friends, q lew good books, few good ideas. 8 few good dollars-these are all the things worth collecting in this world.
 Even after a woman has divorced her husband she can't help auto matically worrying over the thought of who will make him put on his win ter fiannels, remind him to take his cough syrup and watch to see that he doesn't throw lighted matches in the waste basket.
 Now that a rouge has been invented that won't come off in the water. per haps somebody will discover rose colored romance that won't come off in the matrimonial wash.

A father, talking to his careless daughter, said: "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you noticed a careworn look upon her face. Of course, it has not been brought there by any act of yours; still, it is your duty to chase it away. l want you to get up tomorrow morn ing and get breakfast. When your mother comes and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You cant imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Besides you owe her a kiss or two A long while ago, when you were a little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your Ifcver-tainted breath and swollen face.
