RIGHT METHOD OF TRAINING
younoster Of Bold Spiri. Does Not
Need Curb So Much as incul-
cation Of Courtesy.

A bold spirit is invaluable. hut an
impertinent manner is an abomination
in a child says the Philadelphia Eve
ming Bulletin. And parents, uncon-.
sciously. are many times at fault, and
actually incuIcatc holiness in their
little ones, quoting their clever re-
marks while the children are around,
insisting that they "show off, some
accomplishment.
The forward yoTngster is not apt to
be brighter than the shy one, but he
receives the credit because of his
readiness to do and to talk. Perhaps
natures recompense for less ability Is
the courage to exploit what one has.
Sheer initiative alone-with, of course.
sufficient ability to back it up--is
bound to make a leader.
DO not too summarily curb the
youngstcr with the bold spirit-rather
train him in courtesy and in common
sense sn6 so teach him the valueless-
ness of foolhardiness.

HELPING OUT SHORT
PASTURE IN SUMMER
Stock Raisers Face lnconvenl-
ence and Stock Loss.
There Is Only One Remedy Where
Vast Herds Are Kept and That Is
to Practice System of Deferred
and Rotation Grazing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Stock raisers, especially In the
Southwest, often, at this season of the
year, face much Inconvenience and
probable loss of cattle through the
shortage of pastures. In other sec
tions, where smaller herds and areas
are involved, the summer pasture stu
alton can be met i'm various ways, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Among the
ways sare the sowing of catch crops
for summer forage or temporary pas
lures. But, with ranges running into
thousands of acres, with vast herds
grazing. there is only one remedy and
that is to put into practice system
of deferred and rotati,n grazing.
Such a system will necessitate the
division of the range into separate
pastures. keeping the cattle off of one
pasture each year until the seeds OF
the native grasses are mature, al
which time cattle may be turned to
Craze. In this manner the growth OF
grass Is utilized and the grass seeds
are trampled into the soil, which Is
necessary to termination. BY sys
tematic rotation each pasture may bt
allowed to reseed once in each three
| to five years, as desired.
Where ranges are heavily stocked
in the beginning of such a system, ]
may be necessary to transfer par
of the herd to other ranges, but tn
ultimate result will be an increase Il
the carrying capacity Of the range, a
has been shown in various experience
I'm the Southwest. Overstocking Shout
be avoided In every instance.

Perhaps some would feel
that way. but we rather enjoy our
family name of BOBBY"
"How did you get that name?" the
Fairy asked.
"Oh," said the Solan Goose, 'it's
fair enough name. You see at times
we act foolishly, and especially so on
land when people see us-if they do
see us,
"But there were some who saw us,
and they saw how fOolishly we were
behaving, especially on land, as have
told you, and so they gave us the
name.
"We quite enjoy it. 1t gives us a
chance to have nice and foolish and
silly old time every once in awhile.
just so as to live up to that name.
"We are what is known as swim
ming birds You will see that we are
three feet long and that we have a
six-foot stretch of wings. People talk
of a six-fOOt man, and so we talk Of a
six-fOOt pair of wings-frOm one end
of one wing to the other end of the
other wing.
"We like white feathers and golden
yellow on our heads and black
touches. We live along the North
American and European coasts and
build our nests in rocky places.
"We like a community life-that Is
many of us live in the same neighbor
hood We build our nests of grass
and seaweed and the Mrs. Solan Gees
lay an egg or two in these nests which
hatch out into adorable little Solar
Geese.
"We eat fish and catch II by pOunc
ing down upon our prey from on
high places. We are very strong fiiers
and we go out far from land where

named after us.
"Great numbers Of US gather tOgetf

So the Fairy thanked the Sola

specialists of the. United States De-
partment of Agriculture. On many
farms q set Of harness lasts less than
ten years. Where eight or ten horses
are kept this means one new set or

has received many reports, especially
from Southern states, showing that
harness lasts only from two TO five
years. But good harness, properly
cared for. will last 20 years or more.
In every neighborhood there are cases
where farmers are cutting their mar
ness bills in half by giving the leather
a cleaning and oiling occasionally.
