Morning Sun News-Herald (Newspaper) - August 24, 1911, Morning Sun, Iowa THE MORNING n n THE BOY WONDER A boy wonder may still be here and but 1 am not bringing a charge to that effect against any boy of my There have been such in the there will be ia the and we have heard of e now though It Is not like ly that the charge could be In every We can never forget whose genius showed when he watch ed the steam lift the lid of ers tea kettle nor John Stuart who was thinking through philosophi cal and In technical lan long before he reached his Pope said I lisped In for the numbers even though some now think he never did anything but except The late John Fisk was a good Greek and Latin and philosophical before the average boy of that age had learn ed his Students of music can never forget how the Han stole into the in the dark and played the organ till they were attracted from all over the estate of the duke of and all thought It must be an angel and the duke pronounced him a genius nor forget how Wolfgang was playing tunes at and did not have an equal on the harpsichord at Josef Hoffman was the won boy pianist a few years and now has made good as a j In the line of early i has been but almost as in Pope wrote his Ode to Silence at and Ode to Soil tude at At 12 Macaulay won by his first Cowley wrote and Thisbe at At 16 Tasso wrote Huge a volume of poems and so did Shelley wrote Queen Man and Disraeli Vivian Gray at Dickens was made famous by his Sketches and Byron by his English Bards and Scotch Reviewers at And there have been Boy Orators and Boy Preachers and Boy Busi ness No one denies that there have been and still will be boy ge Little William James Sidis has dazzled the wise men of the east with his conversations and writings and addresses on philosophical and mathematical and he will soon know all that Harvard can teach while Nicholas Wiener Is treat Ing Cornell to the same sort of a sen Alexander Hamilton comes in that In a few months after arriving in New York from his native West to attend Kings he had studied out the question of the right of our country to in a patriotic in the open came forward and A THOUSAND DOLLARS PROFIT FROM THE WORK HORSE By HUTCHESON of the Iowa State College tied the audience with a great and he was only The late Presi dent Harper of the University of Chi cago was such a wonder as a grown man that we forget his remarkable Not every considered a genius by his admiring is He may be good and but not a But suppose there fs a real boy genius at large in your what then It brings up the old question Why should the spirit of mortal be proud His spirit or that of his kindred Who knows but It may be only a case of Infantile or puerile genius which will disappear as the years go Neither he nor his friends should ever forget try as he he may be distanced by some whose powers do not develop as fast as There are whose boyhood was not Wag uer and Bach and Goldsmith and CoW per and Franklin and Darwin and De foe and De Morgan belong to the lat ter And there are some alarming Genius Is not in as some of the wranglers have claimed nor is it save that It is nor what is called a One may be what we often call a universal like or Michael or or And yet he Is apt to be one sided and have some serious which will prove his as a defect In will cr judgment or sym pathy or in power of and the latter was the defect of Col He may be repressed and He may be led to think that he does not need training nor dis for genius is never ent of such things and It takes hard work to mature and bring it to the fulfillment of its bright The delicate nerve tissues may be burnt out before he reaches the more seri ous work of his life and he be left I In the condition of the man whose legs 1 were set akimbo and he explained his misfortune I rode up in a balloon one time and walked on careful the boy is proven to be a keep it to yourself and never allow him to sus If he should find it tell him of the fall of the genius and linger over its harrowing details till he is almost scared out of his wits then put him at hard work as If his life depended on Make him play with the other so that they can keep the conceit out of Be his master and his adviser and keep heavy responsibilities from him till he gets beyond the most dangerous You may save after alL t A Bunch of Money of the Right HIS SPORTS His sports are the most serious thing in his early life the funnier and louder they the more rank with the solemnities if they are at all what they ought to their value is beyond he is adapted to sport and then developed by His grow ing muscles and bones and his un stable nervous system require He has several million neurons already and each one is of them in different Cant you keep still asks the impatient moth when she ought to know from memory that he He is manu energy so fast it must be taken care and is the very way nature has devised for Play gives each muscle and neuron a chance and train them all to work to But the chief value of play is not physical it is and ethical and social and It shows what is in a boy helps to correct him then discovers great truths and prin ciples to He expresses all of himself in The psychical as well as physical seeks that form of He ex presses his emotions first in food getting next In His whole mind gets into Imitation and imagination reason and religion love and hate courage and comradeship all are From seven to thirteen he learns to coordinate motion and He learns not alone the laws of the but the great law of cause and He to respect the rights of Team work social He to accept defeat cheerfully and get ready for the next Defeats are turned into achievements and obstacles Into by such a The skill which the game requires he always training all his powers to help each like soldiers in a are three great qualities disciplined by his pluck and Into the gaining of them go espe the control of the defi ance of the altruistic sen timents of dence and As a his play developed his muscles his skill then from twelve it trained the will power and the social Nature has graded the school just As the spirit of comradeship rises in he enjoys his follow the play sometimes Both play and talk are natural and pleasing to while work and con versation are artificial and Both have to be acquired and some times he never succeeds in completely mastering But he learns them both easily and eagerly when they can be put into the form of Most boyhood tasks can be Trimming the lawn or cutting wood or carrying in coal can be made com and thereby History can be especially where it involves war and heroic Impersonating Indians or any other of the attractive characters is always a pleasure to Apparently he is learning mostly how to wrangle and yell and charge his opponents with being and is cultivating a narrow class spirit as fast as But something very encouraging is going He is learn ing not to himself but to his and each year his cause is growing by and he will identify himself with the cause of man as and he will be Obedience to the laws of the game IB embryo obedience to the laws of the state and the laws of It is even claimed that the aesthetic and artistic sense is developed In Play is constructive unless it is Progress is sometimes an anticlimax the latter for But grace and rhythm of balance end proportion of courtesy and kindness In team

toward bit It is possible to make a handsome clear profit each year from the horses that put in and cultivate the crops on an Iowa Last year was cleared from six young drafters reared on our home place In Cedar To cultivate the soil and do the necessary from 10 horses are Counting work driving horses and colts we average about 25 head the year With the exception of the brood mares and mothers carriage we do not keep a horse that Is fully We like to work and drive the grow developing If mares fall to breed they are fattened and mar It never seemed profitable to us to keep a team of old pets to when the same work could be done with a good pair of growing geld ings and profitable Every horse on the farm Is for If a good profit can be realized from an animal it Is Considerable money can be lost from accident or expense of long sure profits are the most Good colts of all ages are picked up while we are out In the fall buying up feeding But they must be good ones and at right We aim to keep from four to five brood They as a rule raise us three colts from year to Mating our mares to the right stallion Is often a big After a mare has her first colt we have some idea as to how she is going to Then by study ing the colts of the various stallions in our community we can pick out the one that we think will best cross with each of our The price of serv ice fee makes no It Is the horse that sires the big clean thick deep and strong middled colts that we breed The mares are not worked for about a week after they Then they are put at it gradually and at short The colts are left at the barn in box The little chaps are taught to eat bran and shelled corn as soon as The older colts are allowed to rough it during the winter but all times they have plenty of good corn timothy and clover hay during the cold weather they are stabled and fed some Early in the fall the younger colts are fed some bright oats and clover hay twice a and as soon as cold KEEPING WORK HORSES IN WORK ORDER Good Feed and Care for the Work Horse Harness Es to Good fare One of the most important things In keeping a horse going all through the busy season is fitting his harness cor The collar is the first thing to be It ought to fit snugly all the way around so that one may run his fingers between the collar and the shoulder when the collar is pushed back In working If the col lar Is rather short and a little wide the hames should be drawn up both at the top and bottom so as to squeeze the If the collar is wide at the top take up the top hame strap a cou ple of holes and buckle the bottom just fairly If a collar too wide at the top Is worn It works back and forth on the neck and makes the neck sore on It is a good plan to soak the collars over night In a tub of wa ter when fitting them for this makes them pliable and they will fit them selves to the shoulders of the Then too thex soaking makes a hard surface on the collar when the leath er This irritates the skin less than a softer or rough The crupper should also If it is tight it will cut Into the tail and if it is too loose it will let the back pad pull ahead and rub a sore on the top of the Along with the adjustment of the crupper the breeching should hang about six inches below the pin If It is placed too high it will not stay in place and If placed too low It will hinder the horse In walking when he has a heavy load to hold The horse should be well fed when at on a mixed grain On most farms corn and oats and mixed hay are most convenient and It is best to feed the hay the first thing In the morning and again In the even A horse weighing around pounds should get about 15 pounds of hay each A good grain ration for such a horse would be five ears of sound corn and three quarts of oats a feed with three feeds each A little bran or a hand full of oil n the evening feed will give varlet weather comes they each As soon as early spring comes the colts are taught to pull the Hitching them with very sensible old mares and putting every thing In firstclass with the colts securely fastened to and a side rope at his we are ready to start the new power pro Colts are not whipped at our Patience is the only success ful method with As they have been led to water and handled in the they give us very little trouble In breaking to After they have shown us that they can pull and be they are ready to go to work In the Here great care must be They are worked only a half of a day at a We let them stop often to rest at the ends of the We go to their lift up the collars and rub their Not until corn plowing are the colts worked full and then not if the weather is very Going up and down the long rows of corn is lie best of training for any young When haymaking comes they are in good condition to pull fair When the haying is up and the small grain alternating from day to day four of the colts are used on the manure With four abreast we can haul bigger loads and make quicker As soon as the manure is out they are ready to do the fall We begin to fatten the threeyear olds on fall They make very rapid and economical gains on the sec ond growth clover and blue AnJ they gain considerable while they are drawing the wagons in the corn field Thus during the entire season our colts support themselves and at the same time grow into good big horses Their work is balanced against ex pense of The six that we sole this year were marketed the latter part of One team of these colts cost us and sold for one and sold for The rest were raised on the The six were sold for and they cleared us over As soon as the are gone the three are put in training and made ready to do the biggest end of the coming years and will keep bowels in good con The horse should be watered in the morning just before starting to work hour or more after he has eaten his Then at noon he should not be fed until 15 or 20 minutes aft er he has had his fill of If the weather is hot he may drink a little just before hitching up after din but if he is given a drink about three oclock in the afternoon he need not be watered just after the noon At all times it is best to give the horse water before giving him his grain or an hour or more after feeding because the stomach of the horse is small and the water will wash the grain into the Intestines if given soon after he has finished When the horse is idle it Is a good plan to cut down his grain ration to about a half or two thirds of a feed in order to prevent stocking of the legs and kidney It pays to groom work horses well every Many men are care less in currying a especially If the farm work is Use a good stiff brush for the most and a curry comb to remove the loose dirt that cannot be loosened with the Do not slight any party but clean the neck and legs as well as the back and If the new hired man can curry a horse well you need not worry about his doing other things The horses feet may need looking If the horse is unshod the edges of the hoof should be kept trimmed smooth and all broken parts of the hoof should be cut because any piece of horn that splits off will split further if neglected and the horse may go If the sole of the hoof wears down fast the horse should be If in plates of me dium weight with dull calks are If the horse work on dust or In the field no calks are The Bridegrooms Miss Elsie who teaches Sunday had been reading to her class from the
