The animal husbandry department of the College of Agriculture advices against allowing colts follow in the field. It is hard on the colt to tag its mother all day, especially on plow ed ground, and it keeps the mare in more or less of a state of excite ment and worry. The colt is liable to get hurt and is a general nuis ance to have out in the field. It is much better to keep it shut up. The first two or three days the colt is shut up it should be allowed to feed in the middle of the iorenoon and afternoon. It is suggested that or.ts or alfalfa be kept before the co't when it is shut up. Miss Ruth Engeant will hold a canning demonstration at following places: Chas. Feacock June 2G.

The cherry picking season is on and how delighted we all were thr other evening, when the master o' the house informed us. that on th morrow we were to go out in th country and harvest some of that dr licious fruit. We had a vague ide-that-it would be somewhat of a )ir nic, thinking mainly of a nice lunc1 spread under a welcome cherry tree and enjoying the cool-shade and on knitting and crocheting, the actua' cherry picking being merely inci dental. Witness, then, our triumphs' departure early in the morning ir our little Henry, gorgeously bedeck ed with tin buckets, pails, baskets a stepladder and what-not. Arrived at our destination, w were so sorry and disappointed to se only one tree to pick, however, as we progressed, and the sun smiled gently but insistently on our heads, we knew intentively that there woulc never be any need of our going to Hot Springs for our "rheumatics" ".ve began to appreciate the lack of a larger field in which to employ our talent as cherry pickers. However, as we worked we became bolder, and behold the' master of the family gracefully perched at the highest pin nacle of success. I mean, on the very top of the tree and boasting, that he would enlist in the aviation corps at his earliest convenience. Some one remarked that "Pride Cometh Before a Fall," and that the going up is sometimes a more tedious task than the descending, when no sooner said than done, our hero suddenly decided to come to earth, which he did, bringing most of the tree with him. The conversation which ensued will not be recorded here, for fear of the National Board of Censorship It must be added that the cherries were much more rapidly and safely picked when nearer the earth, and since no bones were broken, this down fall was more helpful than det rimental to our cause. As we don't believe in mentioning names, we will not reveal the identi ty of the parties concerned, but if you should see some one with a black fivp. a chpckpr hoard face, and a swollen lip, don't think he has been in a fight, or been kicked hy a mule, for he was merely trying to aviate without an areoplane.

W escott's Sons "EVERYBODY'S STORE" THE GERMAN CHURCH DIFFERS WITH KAISER REGARDING RUN PIETY Amsterdam. June 21. The Ger man quarterly church review, the first section of which is published by the protestant Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin, seems likely to make unpleas ant reading for Emperor William in view of his frequent utterances in praise of the piety and high moraK ity of the German people. The review declares that the task of the church has become immeas urably harder "Because of the utter lack of discipline and religious feel ing among the people. "Our youth, with their easily got ten money in their pockets, swollen with sinful pride," it continues. "are entirely contemptuous of re straint and continence. Confusion reigns in numberless of the admin istrative government departments as to what is right and wrong. The 'ighest law seems to be profiteering nd amusement." Lamenting the laxity of present ay German morals, the review inci entally, but gravely, condemns the galized bigamy. The review, which throughout is Minched in the most pessimistic me. expressed the fear of irrepara de damage to the existing evangeli al state church unless it succeeds in overcoming the difference of the peo ple to religion.
