PASTI,IsAGI;

II is important that this be Dropcriy
CHOSEN, especially for growing colts. If
this is on very rich land, or watery, the
grass will be too rank for the growth of
line, strong bones, and firm, enduring
muscle. Colts grown up on such will be
pretty sure TO be wanting in spirit, slow
of movement and deficient in wind, so
much so that when in harness if put un
to moderately fast pacc-which can
only be done by Il repeated application of
the whip-they breathe painfully, sweat
intolerably and soon tire. The best pas
turc ground for colts is such rs is well
drained, or naturally rather dry, and If
1t abo,nds with scattered rocks foot or
more in diameter, these are not OBJ
icctionablc, but small stones arc, for the
colts in running about are liable TO strike
on them to the injury of their hoofs,
while they avoid the larger ones and rocks
in their exercise The grass on such lands
is swee! and tender, highly rclishcd by
lie colts, and very nutritious. Growing
up on such, especially if limited to il,
the feet and lc.rS anI the bones of the
whole body become extra strong, more
like ivory than common bone grown on
quite succnlcnt pasture. For cattle the
pasture need not BIZ so select in quality,
for they will do we'll on wet meadows
when the water is generally - little below
the surface Of the soil, only occasionally
overlooking for IL few hours and then dry
ing oil well. -.AmericaH .AgTicuduyiM.

Horse Prices in England.

According to a London journal agri.
cultural horses are fetching very high
prices in the west of England, from $3.50
to $500 being common figure for any
thing like scrviceable animals. A rare
lot of horses belonging to farmers quit
ting their holdings in Dorset, were sold
at Doncaster lately and brought from 1925
to S325, being principally purchased by
dealers from London, Liverpool, Bristol,
md other centres. The run for second
rate animals was from $3.50 to S19O.

CURING HORSES OF TONGUE ronr.rYc.

There are several forms of bits in use
Tor curing horses Of the habit of lcling
or thrnsting out the tongue when ~!
work or driven on the road. But in all
the forms the idea Is to prevent Inc horse
from thruSiing his tongue over the Bit
and out of the mouth. Sometimes the
bar is bent up i'll the middle Or has II
plate attached To rest ON the tongue. You
can make an excellent bit by using Il
leather bar with rings attached 10 each
end. In the back of the leather bar
laStcn Two small screw eyes about two
inches or little more apart. Then take
u piece of number ten wire seven inchc,
long, and bend it with two right angles
and an eye turned at each end and in
serted IN the screw eyes in the leather
bar. This wire should lie loosely on the
tongue, but il will prcven; il; from being
passed over tine bar and out of the mouth.

THE FLOWER GARDEN IN SUMMER.

To have towering plants and shrubs
through the warm season, writes Helen
Wharb lrton in the Washington STIR, one
must needs take good care of them, and
not trust too much TO nature The fault
with many is to think that in the summer
time everything will bloom and look lis
best no matter nov little attention is be
slowed upon it. l3us the garden of the
experienced ilowcriover will always look
much ncatcr, prcitcr and frcshcr than
the one presided over by IN ignorant
amateur. 10 say that weeds should be
kept out Of the garden is IN unnecessary
precaution, for all understand the need
Of such work. But there are other little
odd jobs that can be done about the flower
garden with satisfactory results. If Ike
blooming season is to b. prolonged all
flowers should be removed rs soon rs they
begin to fade. the strength of the plant
tina: would go 10 produce seed will then
contribute toward making new flowers.
The embryo seed vessels should be pinchcd
off, and the plant will make another ef-
fort to bud out in all such places. 70 Sc
cure flowers all attempts OF the plants to
produce seeds should be stopped.
Bedding plants should be cut back
frequently, as this induces new growths,
and new growths usually produce new
flowers. The towering season can also
be prolonged very greatly by taking care
to stir the top soil occasionally with II
small trowcl. This allows the cir to cir
cnlatc around the roots Of the plants and
makes small passage ways for the water
to tricklc through. If plenty of water is
then supplied the plants there is no reason
why flowers shonld not be blooming in
the garden until late autumn. l have
had ANIMALS towering until the first frost
of the year nipped them.
Some plants, such as dahlics, tube
roses and the tall varieties of the glatiio-
lus, arc easily broken, and they need
some support other than their frail stems.
Stakes should be placed alongside OF
them, and the stalks securely fastened in
an upright position. If the stakes aro
cut from the woods when green they can
hardly be distinguished from the plants.
The plants should be tied to them with
wide strips Of cloth, and not with string,
rs the latter is liable to cut the plauts. II
dry season makes the plants wilt in
spite of frequent watering, it is well to

that was made in this country WAS made
in halfway, n. j., in 1918. Two New
York men were the paicntccs, and it was
called Taurinc cloth. Ii Was made from
the hair Of cattle, with a mixture Of wool.
The sources of supply for horse hair were
Siberia, which probably furnished sixty
per cent. Of the amount used, and South
America, which furnished about twenty
five pc; cent. The rest was collected in
other countries. What is collected in
Tartary, Siberia and other Russian pos
sessions is brought to Tobolsk, where
there is an annual fair, in which the sale
OF this hair is one of the principal articles
