THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF
THE ROAD.

There are hermit souls that live with
drawn
In the peace of their self content;
There are souls. like stars, that dwell
n apart,
In a fellowless armament;
There are PIONEER souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never ran
But let me live by the side Of the road
And be friend to man.
Let me live in house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men go by.
The men who are good and the men
who are bad
As good and as bad as /.

Or hurl the cynie's ban;-
Let me 1--we IN my house by the side

And be friend to man.
/ see from my house by the side of
the road
By the side of SIC highway of life
The men who press with the ardor of
hope,
The men who are faint with the strife.
But | turn not aEay from their smiles
nor Their tears
Both parts CT an Infinite plan -
Let me live il my house by the side

And be friend 20 man.

Plans are being drawn for the con-
struction Of large fishing harbor in

with the working of the port as COM
mercial center. This is but part of
project for the establishment of q ma

gium is almost entirely dependent o.
foreign imports, especially Of preserved
fish. The building of the new harbeG
will be undertaken by the government,
which will also provide for the rapid
handling and transportation of goods:
private enterprise will establish the
necessary cold storage and erect works
for making cases and barrels and fac

COLT NEGLECTED. IN SPRING
No One Considers That He Should Be
Gradually Changed Over From
Dry Winter Ration.

Consider the colt in the springtime!
Maybe he is yearling with q half
formed equine mind full Of curiosity
and wonderment. Every old horse on
the place is off in the fields some
where at work in daylight. His owner
neglects the colt as much as he can
and have the youngster live.
The half remembered green fields
and pastures of last year become green
once more. The colt has vague memo
ries of the taste of green things that
mingled on his taste-nerves with the
flavor of mothers milk. From between
the cracks in the pOst-and-plank
fence that incloses his world he looks
upon the springing grass, marvels
and hungers. Part of his hunger is
plain hunger, part is memory, and
most Of it is instinct, but it Is all
very real.
He is lonely little hideful of in
stincts and cravings about to start his
second year. He is a bewildered or
plan of the farm stalls and stables,
accustomed to his corn and alfalfa,
and with all the troubles Of horsedom's
life before him. About half the time
no one considers that he should be
gradually changed over from the dry
winter ration to the soft green sum-
mer ration, and when the change
comes it comes so quickly that there
is not a days time for that young
horses stomach to get used to it.
For long weeks the plow teams have
been getting ready for the change. II
they could not sense the spring in the
air. in any other way they might know
it from the gradually increasing
amount Of corn that is going in the
feed boxes. They are being worked a
little more and a little steadier than
they were while January's SHOWS still
covered the pastures. The colt, though,
goes his neglected way until some day
after the oats are in and every plow
moldboard on the place is like bur-
nished silver, then all at once some one
decides it is high time that the colt
was on the pasture.
On the pasture he goes. It may be
just enough Of pasture to keep life
within his hide, but he must get along
with an occasional sailing on sunny
Sunday mornings. The grass may be
thin and watery, tasteless compared
with that good alfalfa he has been

CAUSE OF TEAT AFFECTIONS
Hands of MiIker Should Be Kept
Glenn and Finger Nails Trimmed
Quite Closely.

Milking with uncleansed wet hands
is a fertile cause of teat affections
The teats and udder should be
cleansed each time before milking
and the mixers hands also should be
kept clean. The finger nails OF the
mixer should be kept close-trimmed
and when milking care be taken not tc
squeeze the tips of the teats too hard
Such bruising is the cause of condi
ton which we have termed "corns" OF
the teats. The skin becomes hardened,
horny or calloused and milking then
becomes difficult, or the milk sprays
during extraction. Dirty and con.
taminated stall floors and allowing
cows to lie upon dirty, wet ground, or
wade in stagnant water or drag theil
udders through wet and filth on the
way to the stable are other causes !;
and a common cause of sores on the
tip Of the hind teats is bruises from
stepping upon them when crossing a
sill into the stable or by trampling tr
narrow stalls.

TO ESTABLISH SHEEP FLOCK
Good Price fer Ewes That Pro-
duce Thrifty Lambs.

In establishing a flock of sheep do
not hesitate to pay good price for
ewes if they are exactly adapted, and
especially for those that. when judi
ciously mated. are likely to produce
lambs that will give the best return
for the food which they consume. It
is of the utmost importance . make
use of rams that possess great i1,divid-
ual merit, and strongly inherit the
good points by which they are distin.
guished Unless a ram has a good
masculine head and stands firmly on
strong legs he should not be selected,
however great his merits may be in
other respects. Breeding ewes should
be kept in good store condition. Show
condition and low condition both must
be avoided.

strange sights, and hearing unusual

BEST TIME TO TRAIN COLTS
Them to Lead During Infancy
Means Less Trouble.

1t is mistake not to halter foals
and teach them to lead during infancy,
when it can be done with less trouble
than at any other time. A few min
utes two or three times a week is suffi.
cient, as they should be by no means
pulled about so as to make them per-
spire, as there is then risk of their
taking cold. AS we'll as the halter

to eat dry food, which he will soon do
