HOW TO GIVE FIRST AID TO YOUR FARM ANIMALS. _ You can‘t always get a veterinarian quickly when one of your farm aniâ€" mals is wounded, and as blecding must always be stopped promptly, it is imâ€"| portant for you stockmen to know how | to give firstâ€"aid treatment. 1 The importance of this has ofu:n: been brought home to me. Once I aasâ€" wered a "hurryâ€"up" call from a truck farmer, and found the family gatherâ€" ed around an old bloodâ€"bespattered white mare. The aged grandpa was sitting almost under the mare, holdâ€" ing his thumb firmly upon the large vein (saphena major) which runs on the inner surface of the hind leg and crosses it transversely at the hock joint. The vein had bled profusely until the old man got his thumb in place, where he held it until I arrived four hours later. He was a disâ€" gruntled old body when he saw me stop the bleeding by binding a padded cork tightly over the vein below the wound. It was then easy to apply & suitable dressing. WEaPoatett CE On another occasion I was called to treat a horse in a big tranafer comâ€" pany‘s stable. There had been a runâ€" away and a wagon pole had torn a mat hole in the horse‘s breast, which bled freely until the "barn boss" parcked a big bhandful of cobwebs into the wound. This treatment quickly stopped the blecding, but the filthy cobwebs had carried germs into the wound, and fatal blood poisoning reâ€" gulted. t L W & ow w as wrownd.

This does not mean that| children‘s lies should be condoned oz"| that, because all children lie, we should pass by the fault and wait for them to outgrow it, or handle it so it will be overlooked and accepted as are many of the lies of grown people. It means we should try to understand whyvc'inldre;\ lie and save them. Perâ€" haps if children were saved from lyâ€" ing, there would be less liars amongst men. There is no mystery about chilâ€"] dren‘s lying. They lie because they | do not understand the standards of truthâ€"telling as established amongst grownâ€"ups. Things look entirely difâ€" ferent to the small person just getting acquainted with the intricacies of a complex world from what they do to those who have lived in it long enough to know how to meet its problems. So, the child, confused in his outlook, havâ€" ing no standards, no precedents, tells things of which grownâ€"ups do not apâ€" prove, and then they say he "lies." But a little child‘s "lies," in origin and intent, cannot be held wholly comparâ€" able to the "lie" of tke adult. Children are truthful by nature. They do not know any other thing than to be truthful. They say what they think or tell what appears to them to be so and then because their statement does not conform with what people think or agrée with the way the fact appears to them, the child is accused of telling the same kind of lies as an adult. This is manifestly unjust. Sometimes they lie to give pleasure.‘ They learn that to tell the truth gives unhappiness. â€" If Johnny tears his stocking and mother pulls a long face and tells him how her eyes hurt and her back aches, Johnny will tell her that the dog tore the stocking. He would much rathBr the dog gave his mother hurting eyes and an aching back than to bear the censure for havâ€" ing done it himself. Of course he will not explain why he laid the trouble to the dog! If he is asked whethor he had his lessons, knowing that if he is truthful and says ho did not, his parâ€" ents will look grieved and tell him a pathetic tale of their disappointment and harrowed feelings, naturailly ha is going to try to cheer them up by tellâ€" ing them what a model pupil he is.

Tommy Farming is more than a business, It is also a life, a life which many people who have had opportunity to compare it with urban life greatly prefer. Many of the people with this view point have heen able to satisfy it only after they have passed middle life or, perhaps, have not sooner appreciatâ€" ed the advantages of farm life. Some E"1 EOm c‘ fls Cu WErw eea n eenent tm CCC CCC have made their comparisons while young and decided in favor of the farm, regardless of the handicaps involved. If the experience of the older people, who go back to the farm life from choice after middle life, is worth anyâ€" thing, the young people who make farm life their first choice are on the right track. From the standpoint of a satiefactory and wholesome life, a satiefactory and whoiesome there can be no doubt about it the possibilities of present farm conditions are considered. And NO BRMIRNATCCCCE RRTC there can be no doubt about it when the possibilities of present farm living conditions are considered. And, from a business standpoint, they are makâ€" ing no mistake in the long run. While farming may not be on a par with some other present business opporâ€" tunities, so far as immediate returns are concerned, it is a stable business in which average successes are probâ€" ably more numerous than are average successes in most other lines. It is not alone in being subject to periods of depression, and it holds no hazard of unemployment contend. All of these fectors should be well considered by young people who stand at the fork of the road, where they must choose between farm life in God‘s open country and the possibility of an unsatisfactory existence in the crowdâ€" ed city. Mary Lee took especial pains with the breakfast. She had strawberries and Billy‘s favorite muffins and an omelet that a hotel chef might have envied and coffee with real cream. "I say," Billy exclaimed, "King George would be green with envy if he could see me sit down to this!" And as he kissed his wife goodâ€"bye he added gravely, ‘Mary, it‘s just about ten thousand times greater than a fellow‘s wildest dreams." And Mary, clinging tishily to him, agreed: "It is, isn‘t it, Billy?" But when he had gone Mary dropâ€" ped into a chair and buried her face in her arms. Miss Mount, her nextâ€"door neighhbor, now outside the door, was startled at the quavering voice that answored her knock; but there was nothing for her to do except go in. â€""What is it, child?" she asked. "Have you burned your hand or broken anything?" 7 e : Mary shook her head and tried to smile, "Nothing burnt or broken." "Then whatâ€"" "It‘s those awful extras!*â€"Mary laâ€" mented. Miss Mount waited. In a moment Mary was smiling. "You see, wo‘ve made a budget, Billy and I, and he thinks I‘ve been running on it, and he‘s so proud of me, but Iâ€"1 haven‘t! I haven‘t gone a cent over for houseâ€" hold or clothes or even company,â€"â€" ordinary company,â€"but it‘s the exâ€" tras! Last month it was Aunt \uâ€" cille‘s being sick here; and the month before it was the leak in the roof; and the month before that it was Bess‘s wedding. I was putting aside two dollars a monthâ€"" _ Early the next morning she ran over to Miss Mount‘s, "I couldn‘t wait to tell you!" she cried happily. "Billy was so wonderfull He said no one cou‘ld have covered such big things. Miss Mount," Mary‘s choeks flushed softly, "nothing could be dearer than working things out torether!" "Mary," Miss Mount replied, "you‘ve discovered a wonderful secrct. Don‘t you ever forget it!"
