Two respectable looking men Of mid

quite audibly in Cold Spring car the
other evening.

The young woman across the aisle
could stand it no longer. She nodded
confusedly to the conductor and got of
at the next crossing.
The respectable looking men didn't
notice anything and kept right ON with
their gossip.

a broad smile all over his noble face as
they patted him and took his paw In

Treatment of FoaIs.

Notwithstanding the purgative effects
of the colostrum, the first milk of the
dam, the young foal frequently suffers
from constipation of the bowels, and es-
pecially so if the dam is or has been
during the later periods of pregnancy
fed with dry or indigestible food. Ger
tainly SO if the mare has had an acute
attack Of dyspepsia near the end of the
gestative term. Many persons recon-
mend that every foal should have dose
of oils shortly after birth. The practice
is generally good-none but beneficial
effects are likely to result therefrom,
and the life of the foal must always be
regarded as unsafe until free evacuation
of the bowels has been effected When
preceding circumstances have rendered
it probable that the foal will be consti-
pated, full dose of castor oil Is imper
atively indicated, and, in addition, fre-
quent injections Of warm soap and wa
ter are recommended. Breeder Ga

What is the worst defect in the swine
growing of our day? Colonel F. d. Co.
burn says it is bad feet and legs in hogs.
They have been bred for generations to
run all to fat and meat till they can
sometimes scarcely support their weight
upon their feet. They have not bone
structure enough left in their bodies to
be able to get around easily. The result
is great numbers of lame hogs. Breeders
must now remedy this defect. See that
none but males and females having
sound feet are bred from.
John Gould says Of milk cows: "In
summer too much exercise is generally
given. A luxuriant pasture in which
the COW can fill herself quickly and then
lie down and ruminate is what fills the
milkpail. Going two miles to pasture
and being driven home by boy on
horseback and yelping dog has always
resulted in a small. poorly filled udder,
an unhappy owner, sad looking wife
and the children anxious to leave the
farm"
A smooth. handsome harness horse
15H to 16 hands high, with strong
knee action, SO the ladies will call him
stylish, is the horse the farmer will
get most money out Of at present. 1t is
almost immaterial whether the animal
has speed or bottom or not. Such is
fashion.
Next to the stylish carriage horse
the average farmer and breeder will get
most money out of the heavy drafts
the Percheron, Clydesdale and Shire.
The breeders of each of these three
kinds believe they have the best draft
horse.

Working Breeding Mares.

There are thousands of farmers who
keep teams of mares for the purpose of
raising one or two colts every year, but
who yet cannot dispense with the labor
these mares are able to perform after
they have recovered from the effects of
foaling. We have often worked such
mares in the field or on the road after
the colt is or weeks old 1t is only
necessary to confine the colt so that it
will not be in the way while its dam is
working, and be somewhat careful not
to overwork the mare, making her milk
hot and feverish. Some mares give so
much milk that it is best to take them off
the plow or harrow during the middle Of
the forenoon or afternoon. Otherwise
they will work with great difficulty, and
the milk will be injurious to the colt.
When the dam has to be gone all day,
she should be milked at noon. A still
better way is to halter break the colt
early and have it travel alongside the
team. We have seen this done with
colts not weeks old, and when thus
managed the breeding mare is soon en-
abled to do as much work as if she
were not rearing colt. American Cul-

THE OK CART.
Some Facts Concerning That LAUNDERING
but Picturesque Vehicle.


Some Facts Concerning That laundering
but Picturesque Vehicle.
One would scarcely expect to find OK
carts made in this city, but they are
made here by one manufacturer as a part
OF general wagon making business.
The sale of OK carts in this country is
decreasing. Here the use of them has
always in large measure been confined
to the rough and hilly farms of the New
England and middle states, and even in
those states they are now giving way to
carts and wagons drawn by horses. Old
farmers brought up to use OK carts con-
tinue to use them, but their sons do not.
The younger men buy not oxen, but
horses, not OK carts, but wagons and
horse carts How much of this change
Is due to the fact that the stony, hilly
lands are now pretty we'll cleared and
that oxen are less needed for plowing,
how much is due to the spirit of the
age with its quicker movement in all
the fields of labor, how much to a great
er inclination toward luxury, it might
be difficult to say, but the OK cart is
passing away. 1t is still used, however,
to some extent 1t may be met perhaps
in the haying field, perhaps under the
spreading elms at the village black
smiths shop The cart met amid such
surroundings is quite as likely to have
been made in the city as in the country.
for they are all substantially alike.
The only important changes that have
been made in OK carts in many years
have been the substitution of iron for
wooden axles and the broadening of the
face Of the wheel. All OK carts are now
built with iron axles and inch tires.
New York city built OK carts are sold
in western Connecticut in western
Massachusetts and in New York, and
occasionally in remoter parts Of this
country. There is steady demand for
them from the planters Of the West In
dies and of Central and South America.
An OK cart costs about 500. New
