July 23. is a actable attraction, one of the xok remarkable women on the platform who. t-n being left a widow with a family to -report and without skilled trainng and without funds, found away to do it, but in the finding did more, found a way to help the great masses who save to live that life of struggle always. One of the unique characters of the program is CoL Bob Seend. CoL Bob is an institution at Celina, and the Chautauqua could not go on without aim. Col. Bob is a stiff color farmer, t fellow who uses his head a lot more :ban he does his heels in farming, and jets away with it at that.

Live- Stock ■CTST3 Notes A good man’s horse will not un lerrtand when he is sworn at. Growing pigs should receive where t is poasible. seme h_tie.-m.A_. Keep the young pigs out of the iratta Give them a clean, dry place o sleep. In feeding farm stock var.ety is xeceesary, for this will keep tie a;-peti-es keen. Sheep need plenty ©f frewh air. and hey ce-tainty are more warmly dad han we are. Ail animals need plenty cf exercise ,n the winter to keep them in ccndi.ion fcr the spring. The horses should be hitched up octasfcnally and put to some work, if only for an hour or two. Although bogs are proverbially dirty animal*, they enjoy drinking water as much as the other stock. Middlings is a very good feed for swine, but k should not form the entire grain portion of their ration. Just because a hog seems filthy, is no sig: that be likes to drink water from a dirty, germ-infected trough. Leek of attention to the teeth of the horses after, cause large boles to ap- ’ rear in the oat bin without risible re turn. Plenty of bedding for the horse and the ccrw is as sure of a good return as any other labor performed on the farm. Give the colt plenty of exercise during the ecld weather, and it will repay you for your kindbess by steady growth. Choice beeves are extraordinarily high and bid fair to reach record fig ore* the coming winter and spring months. In yarding sheep, don't forget a constant supply of good freeh water and rock salt are a neccesMty; also, plenty of good fresh bedding, and sl—ars a dry lair.
