Coits should not be "broken," they should be taught or educated. In the unhandled or unbroken colt, the mus- cular, respirdtory and nervous system (the organs 'whose functions are taxed in the performance of the ordi- pary functions of a horse) are weak and undeveloped from lack of func- tion. Hence a' regular course of pre- paration during the late winter and early spring months, when the time of both man and horse is not very valuable, should be given in order to have the colts in such condition when uime becomes valuable that they wiil be able to perform a reasonable amount of work with satisfaction to the driver and safety to themselves. The eolt or colts should first be taught to wear harness and bridle by being allowed to run free for a few hours daily in a box stall or paddock, with the harness on. It is then good practice to match each with a handy, smart and good-natured horse, or if necessary a pair of colts together, and teach them "to drive, obey tke words of command, stand when asked to, ete. When they have become reasonably handy without being hjtched, they should be hitched to a wag- gon. Carg.should be taken to see that the harness fits properly. This applies espe lars. The col- lars in which they are expected to work later on, should be worn. Each should have his own, and it should fit properly, not being too wide, so as to allow a rolling motion, nor yet sufficiently narrow to pinch at any point. The bearing surface should conform thoroughly to the surfaces of the neck and shoulder with which it comes in contact, except at the bot- tom, where sufficient vacant space allow the introduction of a man's fi gers should exist. The colt or pair should be given daily exercise or light work, com- mencing with an hour or two the first day and gradually increasing the amount until they will be able to per- form a full day's reasonable exertion without showing sigus of weariness. The amount of n given should al- 80 be gradually 4ncreased in propor- tion to the work or exercise given, By such usage the muscular, respira- tory and nervous systems gradually gain tone, the muscles with which the harness, especially the collar, comer in contact, gradually become hardened and increased in power of resistance, hence become much less liable to soreness, In many cases, on account of this hardening of the muscles, they lose bulk, hence a col- lar that may bave 'itted perfectly at first may now be too large.--J.

Hotbeds should be made and the seed of the early plants like cabbage, caulifiower, early celery, early beets, and the long season plants like tomatoes, egg plants and peppers should be started., Many of these seeds for small gardéning work may be started inside which will re- lieve the amcesetz fF making hotbeds until the first of next month.

The flock should be given the opy portunity to get out of doors and ex- ercise on fine days. Begin to make preparation for batching, Clean up the incubators and brooders, get boxes ready for setting hens. Do not set hens in the laying pens where other birds are running.

Usually chickens of the general - purpose breeds hatched during the last week of March make the best winter layers. Where using bens'for batching dust them well with some good.insect powder before aet- ting, and azain about two weeks later. Care of the Freshening Cow. This is the month when a large number of cows freshen. Both fresn cows and newly-born calves should receive special attention. Cows ex- pected to freshen should be placed . in a box stall for a 'ew days before and after freshening. Many valuable cows and calves are lost by neglecting to provide box stall accommodation. This should be found in every dairy stable; or else have a special barn for the purpose. A few hours "sun- shine bath" each week will make far more healthful stock and improve the dairying.

"Before if was known that the mala ial poison was introduceq into the blood by mosquitoes it was a common practice fo plant eucalyptus, or blue gum, trees in infected areas. Right up to ibe end of the nineteenth century the idea was commonly held that malaria was caused by the pesti- lential exhalations which arose from the marshy ground. . | "As is well known, the eucalyptus | tree produces enormous quantities of a volatile oll that has marked an'i- septic properties. The disinfecting odors exhaled by the leaves were sup- posed to correct the harmful vapors of the marshes, This iz now known to be a totally wrong impression, yet the fact remains that the planting of eucalyptus did result in freeing dis- tricts from the infection. Many cases might be mentioned, but one of the 'most i, is the instance of a dis: trict about twenty miles from Algiers. It was not possible for any one to re- side in the locality without contraci- ing malarial fever in an aggravated form. Thirteen thousand eucalyptus trees were planted over the area in one year, Within a year, malarial fever was almost unknown in the dis- trict, the disease disappearing as soon as the trees were {wo or three yards in height. "What is the connection between the eucalyptus and the disappearance of the malarial trouble? This has been only very recently explained. There is probably no tree having a greater avidity for water than the eucalyptus. Experiments with seed- lings grown in wafer have shown that a baby blue-gum will take up the Ii- quid at an extremely rapid rate. As the blue-gums grow at a marvelous rate (often as much as 10 or 12 feet is added to their height in a single season), the consumption of moisture creasing rate. Now, it is well known that the malarial poison is introduced into the blood of man through the agency of a certain variety of mos- quito (Anopheles), and ithe dwelling place of these insects, when in the larval stage, is to be found in pools of water. With the planting of the eucalyptus trees the pools disappear and the marshy land becomes com- paratively dry. Thus the breedingz- places of the mosquitoes are destroy- ed and the insects are no longer able to carry on their pernicious activi- ties." -- 8. Leonard Bastin in St. Nicholas, An Invitation. Col. X., a gallant British officer, who had just won the Legion of Honor, was called to the telephone in his dug-out, The voice at the oth- er end of the wire spoke in broken English, with strong ' accent --;a ¥rench accent, 'Allo, Col. X. . Col- onel, you know the French Govern- ment has just conferred upon you the cross of the Legion of Honor. Per- mit me to offer my warmesg congratn- lations, When will you be in Paris?"

"Thanks--thanks. Might | know-- venture to ask to whom I have the honor of speaking?" "Certainly," said the volce, "I am Marshal Joffre." As red as a staff officer's cap bani, bowing low over the instrument, the colonel repeated: "The marshal! This is so sudden, sir, so incredible--"' The voice an the other end of the wire suddenly changed. It spoke clip- ped English with an accent of irony. It was the voice of the divisional chief of staff. : "Righto, old top," it said. "It is incredible. D' you really fancy Joffre would take the trouble to call you on the wire? All the same I'll send the motor. Cheer up. You're invited to dinner at headquarters." A Departmental Store. The greatest department store in the world, to supply every need of the American soldiers, is springing up in France. The survey for the mam- moth intermediate depot, as it is known in army circles,, was made in Angust. The first railroad track was laid in September and how the site has the appearance of a railroad yard in a seacoast town. The store, which will be six miles long and two miles wide, in reality a series of buildings, will have a daily capacity of 50,000 tons, which is not an excessive amount when it is considered that every man at the front in army ser- vices requires 200 pounds of supplies of all kinds, including food, clothing ammunition, medical.and engineering equipment, each day. As the Ameri- can force grows the store will be ex- tended, and enlarged. -- Capper's Weekly. The Origin of Deserts. There is a popular idea that deserts like the Sahara are the bottoms of ancient seas which have been lifted above their original elevation by geographical forces. This notion is an erroneous one. It is certain, igh authorities contend, that the sands of all the great deserts have been form- ed on the spot by the disintegration of the solid rocks on which they rest. sands correspond in all re- aspects, so far as their mode of origin is concerned, to the dust and sand that accumulates on our highroads in ummer.

Wa see what Is going om in Russia, though we may have no idea haw the piece is to end. In'ltaly, too, the thriller is about to be reproduced. Perhaps German intrigue in Italy has had more disastrous results for thé Allies than in any other country save Russia. It led to a disaster of first-class importance for the Italian army, but in Italy it seems unlikely that "worse remains behind." The situation there in a military sense, is well in hand, What remains is to punish those responsible for the dis- aster. 'Already several arrests have been made, and, as is the cae in France, the chief villain was a mems ber of the Italian Parliament. This is Signor Cavallini. He is accused of nothing more desperate than having had "intelligence with the enemy,' but this may prove as serious as giving "aid and comfort to the enemy," which is a euphem- ism for treason. 'Cavallinl's connec. tion 'with Bolo Pasha has been estab- lished beyond all doubt. He admits it. He asserts, however, that his relations with the Levantine was in-| nocent of all intent to injure the cause of the allies. His defence is, in fact, an Italian version of Bolo's defence, Cavallini has a somewhat doubtful record. He has already been in the hands of the Italian police. The charge on this occasion was fraudulent bankruptey, and he was convicted and served a short term of imprisonment, After hig release he left Italy, went to South America, and in a few years returned with plenty of money. This event occurred jut! before the war. Sr He will have the opportunity of proving that he did 'mot return to Italy as a German agent, that he was not financed by Germany, and that he was not, "planted" in the Italian Par- liament for the purpose of playing Germany's game. Cavallini says that he was approached some years ago by a man who told bim that the Kbedive | Tewfik, of Egypt, father of Abbas | Hilmi, who was deposed by the Brit- ish shortly after the beginning of the war, was in need ofia loan of some $600,000, which he hoped to raise in Italy. Cavallini undértook to find the money, and approached the Bank of Italy on the matter, He was told | that the money was available, but that the bank would not lend it to Tewfik. So Cavallini had the loan made to himself and signed three bills of exchange. He handed the currency over to the Khedive, who gave him as security a bag of jewels. When the bills fell due the Khedive-appsaved to have forgotten all about the inci~ dent, So Cavallini took them up and sold the jewels to recoup himself, He secured $800,000 for them, he says, and then went tof Egypt to hand over the balance to the forgetful Khedive, The Khedive was glad to see him and more than glad to see an extra $200,000. To reward Cavallini he made him financial adviser to the royal house, though it is not explain~ ed what the Khedive wanted with a financial adviser when he had: Cromer at his service. After the war began, and when the Khedive Abbas was de- posed, he went to Switzerland, and summoned Cavallini to his side. He told Cavallini that he wanted him to ate Baron Sonnino, the Italian For- eign Minister, and have him press upon the British Government the pro- priety of appointing the son of Abbas Hilmi Khedive in his stead. Sonnino refused to see Cavallini, and there. upon the former Khedjve asked Bolo to make similar effort with the French Government. Before moving in this matter Bolo insisted upon be- ng well paid. He demanded $300,- 000 as the price of his efforts, and Abbas Hilmi is said to have con- sidered the money well invested. He sent Cavallini to France te pay Bolo his commission. Considerable secrecy surrounded the negotiations between the two men, and it has been, established that an Italian baritone singer, named Sottolana, acted as in- termediary and took the part of a post office for the exchange of letters, The baritone was also a witness, Ca- vallini says, to the payment of the $300,000. This, according to the ac- cused Italian, is the story of his rela- tions with Bolo. There remains to be | explained; however, his intimacy with Caillaux and his wife. At this time Cavallini was living with a "Mat- chesa'" Ricel, #8 woman who had ne more claim to the title "Marchesa" than to the title of Cavallini's wife, in which position she passed. When Caillaux went to Italy he was enter tained by the Marchesa and the Sig- nor, and they apparently were thick- er than thieves. Unless Cavallini was a German agent, it is difficult to nn- derstand his relations with such trait ors as Caillaux and Bolo. The Mar- chesa is said to have been an inter- mediary between several disipyal Ital- ian officers and the snemy, Since she was socially promirent, her arrest has created a considerable sensation, More, we understand, are to follow.
