consideration OF breeders and Of importers OF
draft horses.
Your organization can do much,' said
Colonel Mills, ITO stimulate the American
farmers to attain 10 much higher degree
of excellence in the breeding Ola superior
type of horses. which, in the want of better
name, we may call the business-horse. THIS
horse is the animal needed by the merchants
in all great cities for the purpose of hauling
heavy merchandise from aud TO the railroads
and TO the wharves. The business-horse
must have sufficient weight TO move large
loads and such action and spirit as will in
sure a quick walk Such a horse IS the re-
suit Of the crossing of the well-bred draft
horse upon the common or native mares OF
the country
The toast you have given is The Draft
Horse on the Farm The dratt-horse on
the farm has more to do with the breeder
than with the importer. The drafthorse on
the American farm is so scarce commodity
as to make necessary the humiliatlng con-
fe.sion that breeding stables OF this character
are very few and far between. Although
thousands of stations have been brought TO
this country, importers have brought scarce
Nv enough mares TO stock single good breed
ing farm. The draft stations brought to
this country have been greatly needed, and
TOO much credit can not be accorded for the
incalculable benefit which has already re-
suited theresrom TO the horse breeding inter-
est
LAS a matter Of economy and common
business prudence Americans can not afford
TO pay such a large annual tribute as they
have teen paying TO the breeders of draft
horses in Europe. The National Norman
Horse Association can do much to encourage
the importation Of the best draft-mares to be
obtained on the other side OF the Atlantic,
and these coupled with the stations now in
America, will soon enable our breeders to
furnish better sires than we now have for eX-
poItation TO Europe.
''The American breeder is not content un
less he sees marked improvement resulting
from his efforts. With good mares, such as
may be bought on the other side, there may
soon be established in this country enough
breeding farms to supply the home demand
with stations better than the majority of
the sires imported More credit is due TO the
breeder Of one superior stallion than is due
to the importer of many animals of equal
merit. In the one case the value of the one
good animal is retained in America to aid in
the development Of home industries; in the
other case large sums are sent abroad to
build up rival industries.
Il do not wish to say anything which will
dicourage importers in the effort to secure
the best sres abroad for use upon our native
mares, as years must pass before the demand
can be supplied. do wish TO especially EN-
phasize the importance of having the major
part Of the profits which have resulted from
this lucrative business invested in well bred
mares of great individual excellence. When
each importer shall be engaged in breeding
sireS from reasonable number of recorded
draft-mares there will be enough draft-horses
on Americans farms TO arouse en- husiasm in
tie breeding of American lighthouses"

Housekeepers Measures.

A great deal Of poor food. especially cakes
and other recipe preparations, is due to
Inaccuracy OF measuring. "A pinch" of salt
or pepper, or other condiment, may mean
four times as much in one hand. as in
another-quite enough to entirely change
the quality and flavor. Teaspoons, teacups
and coheecups now vary greatly. The old
standard teacup held just half a pint, or four
to the quart, and the coffeecup
three-quarters of a pint, or two and two

several cups now in use we find that OF one
pattern Of teacups three fill a quart: OF
another it takes five, and of another six

THAT SETTLES 1T.
Brought Into Competition With the World,
the Best Carries OF the Honors.

At the great Centennial Exhibition Of 1916. the
leading products of all the branches of the Worlds
industry were assembled az Philadelphia To carry
off prize in the face OF that tremendous competi-
ton was task OF no ordinary difficulty. Inventions
and preparations for the alienation of pain and
the cure OF disease present in the greatest pos
sible variety, representing the skill and the pro-
foundest study of the age and it may be of vital
importance 10 you, personally, to know that the
highest and only medal given TO rubber Porous
plasters was awarded TO the manufacturers of
BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER, by the
following jury:
Dr.. WA. ROTH. Surgeon General. Prussian
Army
J. H. THOMPSON, A. NJ, ". D., Washington,
DC.
C. B. WHITE, VI. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEISCH, NJ. D., Austria.
The decision was afterward confirmed by the
medical jury at the last Paris Exposition. Know
ing the value of such high and unbiased testimony
the medical profession, both in the United States
and in Europe, quickly threw aside the DID, slow
acting plasters they had been using, and adopted
Bensons in their regular practice. That physicians
and surgeons OF the broadest regulations did this
distinctly proves the intrinsic merit OF the article.
1t is no more than just to add that the average
physician of to-day is not dominated by the preiu
dices which retarded the progress and modified
the successes of his predecessors of not more than
twenty-five years ago. He accepts hints from all
quarters and Endorses and adopts demonstrated
healing agents wherever he finds them.
The right of Bensons Capcine Porous Plaster to
stand the head of all external applications what
soever for the mitigation cure OF disease is no
longer questioned.

Take Care of our Live stock.
lAmericln Agriculturist.

Coon SHELTER.-lt is absolute economy TO
provide warm and comfortable winter quar-
tiers Tor all live stock, with an ample supply
OF pure fresh air. When animals are housed
in well-made barns and ables, they require
much less food to keep them in good cOndi
ton. Lumber. in this form. is cheaper than
hay and grain for wintering farm stock. Pure
water in abundance is very neeGtuI for the
health OF the animals. Ii shOu be drank
fresh from the well. IL left in the trough to
freeze il soon becomes as cold as ice water,
and when taken into the animal system il
requires much heat of the body TO bring it
up to the required temperature. Avoid as
fer as possible having the watering troughs
partly filled with snow and ice. They may
be made SO as to turn over when not in use,
and this keeps them clean and free from the
chilling ice.
Live stock should be fed regularly. Even
if not generously fed. this regularity is bet
ter than an excess for few days and then
lack of food for time. Animals are never
contented when hungry, and they should
not be permitted to thus become uneasy.
The damage done by one omitted feeding
can not be made good by double ration
afterward This slip-shod method of feed
ing is quite sure to bring disorder into the
flock or stable.

upon good hay alone, but when lightly

They are to be kept in good health and flesh,
and the amount OF grain should be governed
accordingly. Horses doing heavy work will
need few quarts Of ground oats and corn
daily, in addition to an abundance of the
best hay. Young colts should have excel
lent care, for their future usefulness depends
largely upon the growth they make the first
winter. Linseed oil cake in small doses is
one OF the best remedies tor costiveness in
the VOuuO farm animals
Cows.--As the weather begins 10 grow cold
the COWS will fall off in milk unless an abund-
ance OF nutritious food is provided in the
stalls. Bee cut or pulped, aud mixed with
cut hay. to which cornmeal is added, makes
an excellent ration for mich cows. 1t is Of
the greatest Importance to keep up the flow
OF milk at the beginning of winter. Calves
and yearlings may be keep in roomy sheds
where, with good feed and abundant litter,
they will make large amount of excellent
manure before spring.
Sheep should be kept from the lambs, or
they will crowd and rob the young stock.
The flock may take run on the stubble
fields during warm days. The ticks should
all be killed before midwi inter-. Boys NAV
be paid. by the dozen, for picking them off
the sheep. Breeding ewes to have early
mutton lambs. should be kept in a separate
yard and shed, where they may have the
most generous feeding.

Hints for Furnishing Farm Houses.

Many farmers wives and daughters have
an instructive sense of beauty in regard to
the adornment of their homes, yet feel that
their income is too limited to do anything.
But if they look around for what nature will
freely supply. they will be surprised at the
transformation which can be easily wrought
in rooms that before seemed dull and plain.
Ferns gathered in summer. and leaves in
autumn, pressed, and pinned on the wall in
irregular sprays be- aiming at the cornice,
look very graceful. Let white tarleton cost
ing eighteen or twenty cents yard, be cut
IN strips about half yard wide and tackled
over parlOr and sitting room windows for
lambrequins. On these pin some brilliant
autumn leaves scattered here and there
carelessly, with perhaps border OF
ferns, and you will be astonished
at the fairy-like appearance pre-
sented. / remember gathering great quanti-
ties Of ferns while staying one summer at
New England rural home, and the satirical
remark of the farmer, that "he wished he
could turn all the Philadelphia ladies loose
into his field and have them pull up all the
brakes" But even this practical man was
impressed by the arrangement above de-
scribed.

ample. The yard for this number Of fowls
should not be less than one-eighth of an
acre, two-thirds of which should be in grass;
the remainder should be in bare earth and
should be plowed or spaded in alternate por-
tons every week. A small shed, not necessa-
rily over two or three feet high should be con-
structed, and under this prepare the busting
ground on find sand. wood ashes. and a little
tobacco dust. In another part of the yard
place a trough or shallow box, in which
keep a supply of fine gravel. In case, how
ever. the soil of the yard is graveliy this is
not necessary.
In fencing the yards the height of fences
will have to be regulated by the breed Of
fowls kept The Asiatic fowls will stay in
side of almost any sort of Enclosure while the
LeghorHs and other light-bodies fowls will
readily fly over fence six feet high. In
addition to the building for the breeding
stock, there will be required setting or
Matching room, a nursery for the young
chicks, which should be partially covered
with glass, and second building into which
they can be removed when FIVE or six weeks
old The size OF these buildings is of course
to be governed by the extent of the business.

Hints on Hog Killing.

Skill and practice are needed to take ont
the iDtestines neatly, without cutting or
breaking them and soiling the flesh. Run
the knife lightly down marking the belly
straight, cut to the bone between the thighs
and in front of the ribs and below, and split
the rear bones with an AK carefully, not TO
cut beyond them; open the abdomen by run
ming the hand or two fingers behind the knife
with its edge turned outward Little use Of the
knife IS r. quired to loosen the entrails The
fingers, rightly used, will do most OF the
severing. Small, strong strings. cut in
proper lengths, should be always at hand to
quickly tie the severed ends OF any small
intestines cut or broken by chance. An ex-
pert will catch the entire offal in large tin
pan or wooden vessel, holding it between
and those opening very large hogs, need an
assistant to hold this. The entrails, and
then the liver, heart, etc., being all removed,
thoroughly rinse out any blood or filth that
may have escaped inside. Spread the cut
edges apart by inserting a short stick
between them to admit free circula-
ton of cool air. When dripping is
over, or the hanging posts are wanted
Tor other carcasses, remove the dressed ones,
and hang them IN cool cellar or other safe
place until the whole flesh is thoroughly
cooled through. Or il, for convenience and
easier work, the carcasses are cut up before
cooling, let all the pieces lie apart for at
least half a day. Removing the lard from
the long lntestlnes. requires expertness that
can only be learned by practice The
fingers do most of this cleaner. safer and
better than knife. A light feed the night
before killing leaves the intestines less dis
tended and less likely to be broken.

New Cranes.

VIC. Barring, Secretary of the Native Fruit
Committee of the Western New York Horti-
cultural Society, has recently made a report
on the behavior of certain varieties of grapes
tested in that section last season. He says
the Lady Washington produced fine clusters
in great abundance, but did not ripen as early
as was expected, neither was the quality of
the fruit up to the anticipated standard. The
Amber Queen proved highly-fiavored and
delicious grape, but The fruit did not set 50
well as it should The Burnet was fine,
fruit, but the foliage appeared to be tender
and the clusters not so large as could be de-
sired. The Highland was a large, handsome
grape, but fears were entertained that it
would ripen too late for that climate. OF the
Miners seedlings, tested the previous season,
he says, otter a second trial, not one in the
lot is considered worthy of being retained.
Their names are as follows: Victoria, Rock
ingham, Belinda, Antoinette. Eugenia, Lin
den, Augusta, Ida, Harrison, Lexington and
Carlotta. Prentiss was highly spoken Of
while Rockland Favorite was considered no
better than the Concord. If it is as good a
grape as the Concord it is not wholly bad by
any means. Centennial is noted a new white
grape of great promise.

The First Prayer IN Congress.

In Thatcher's Military Journal,
under date of December, 1777, is
found a note containing the identical
first prayer in Congress, made by
the Rev, Jacob Dutche, a gentleman
of great elo9uence. Here it is-an
historical curiosity;
90, Lord, our Heavenly Father,
high and mighty King of kings and
Lord of Lords, who dost from Thy
throne behold the dwellers- of the
earth, and reignest with power su-
prerne and uncontrolled over all the
Kingdom, Empires and Govern
men9s geer e lnek d9Mp S In iphdse meereK eKgfhah gf h6H
states, who have fled to Thee from
the rod Of the oppressor, and thrown
themselves on Thy gracious protec=
ton, desiring to be henceforth de-
pendent only ON Thee. To Thee
they have appealed for the right
eousness of their cause; to Thee do
they now look up for that counte-
nance and support which Thou alone
canst give. Take them, therefore,
Heavenly Father, Under Thy nur-
turing care.
Give them wisdom in council and
valor in the field. Defeat the ma
licious designs of our adversaries /;
and if they still persist in sanguinary
purposes, oh let the voice of Thine
own unerring justice, sounding in
their hearts, constrain them to drop
the weapons of war from their un-
nerved hands in the day of battle.
Be Thou present, O God of wisdom,
and direct the councils of this hon
orable assembly. Enable them to
settle things on the best and surest
foundation, that the scenes of blood
may be speedily closed, and order,
harmony and peace may be effectual-
ly restored, and truth and justice
religion and piety, prevail and flour
ish among Thy people. Preserve
the health of their bodies and the
vigor Of their mind shower down
upon them and the millions they
here represent such temporal bless

them in this world, and crown then
with everlasting glory in the worlo
to come. All this we ask in thu
name and through the merits o
Jesus Christ, Thy only Son, ouI
