This useless man. There are also
mothers who never give their in

Babies get thirsty, therefore need
plenty of unsweetened, pure-boiled,
cooled water between feelings.
Fruits may be given to your child
after twelve months, such as orange
juice, pineapple juice or pulps of
prunes.
Your run-about child should b..
deprived of too many sweets, as
candies; also stimulating drinks, as
tea and coffee should be excluded
from a child's dietry. Teach him
the habit Of cleanliness, but remem-

You cannot train your child prop

starts from childhood, and wanders
through the boys whole life.
His ability is depending on his
guardian, whose duty is to conquer
his faults, strengthen his virtue,

Observation is the finest quality in a

years since the adoption Of the war
amendments of the Constitution and
the beginning of systematic effort
on the part Of our enemies to nullify
the effect they were expected to have
md its subsequent good. Since
these efforts at restriction began,
they have grown and multiplied
rapidly and much of it has been due
to our refusal to fight the issues
raised with all our resources, before
They become operative. In the
Eouth DISTINGUISHING constitutions

all crept upon us since emancipa-

lost ground, South and North, be-
cause we have not fought, and when
we have resisted, have lacked lead

ers have played into the hands of
our enemies. AS race, we have

ated by the thoughtless some, men,

KEEPING BULL IN CONDITION
As General Rule Animals Are Alto
oether Too Thin in Flesh to Do
Justice to Themselves.

Many a breeder of improved stock
has fallen. just little short a success
through wrong notion Of what con-
stitutes breeding condition. When we
visit breeder for the purpose of buy
ing young bull, and he remarks ON
the way to the barn: 81 don't pamper
my young cattle; I keep them in just
good breeding condition." we find as a
rule that his bulls are altogether too
thin in flesh to do justice to themselves
or to him.
He is a rare man who can form am
accurate judgment OF a young bull
when he is thin. The average buyer
wants to see young stuff in good,
smooth flesh. This does not mean
over-fat; but there are very few young
bulls which have been injured by car
rying too much flesh during the first
year of their life. It takes feed, and
plenty of it, to present young bull i'm
attractive sale condition; but it pays
even in these days of high-priced feed:
and the sensible buyer will demand it,
first, because it indicates that the bull
is a good feeder, and, second, because
it gives him fair opportunity to judge
Of its quality. Improved stock is fetch
ing good prices, and those who are
preparing young stuff for sale can we'll
afford to feed literally. In fact, they
can much better afford to do this than
not. It is all well enough to carry
through the breeding COWS in just
good, strong breeding condition, but
with y Dung stuff a liberal hand has it's
