windmills were cheaper or as cheap as
they should be farmers could put up
enough to irrigate on small scale. Or
if there were some means devised for
damming the wind and putting it to use

Every young man ought to have for
his first ambition the purpose to get a
home and trade and a business after
leaving school. To do this he must
avoid tobacco, drink and dissipation of
every kind, saving his money up for a
home or business. This is the way
the most successful men have done.
Too many young men begin life by try
ing to out-dress, out-smoke, and out-run
in extravaganza, their employers. Young
men have earned good salaries and lived
it all up and when hard times come have
nothing. This is largely why there are
so many homeless men on the roads
now.

Right Kind of Draft Horse.

Because we have protested against
mere bulk without elasticity or wearing
quality it does not follow that we have
fixed on vanners or lumber trade horses
as our draft horse ideal. We move mer-
chandise and iron, stone and logs in
this country. All the iron founders are
not centered at Newcastle, nor does Liv
erpool, with it's gigantic movement of
freight, handle all the worlds wares in
heavy bulk. We do a little of that bust
ness ON this side, and we need horses to
handle it, but we do not want post leg
ged horses Weight i'll the collar is of
little use without leverage. This has been
the burden of our contention. We have
more than once warned Scotch breeders
that they may possibly get not too much
quality and leverage. but have too little
weight with it, We have hailed with
pleasure the big bulky Shires when they
bring sufficient length Of pastern and
clean bone and sound feet with them.
We want no crumbling horn, no why,
''kinky' hair, no indefinable pastern
and no round and gummy legs, even if
accompanied with a ton OF heft. Breed

Fattening Lambs.

For quick fattening no exercise is
needed, For so lambs, besides the 200
Or 300 square feet of shed room, would
provide "a shed trife larger, in which
they may sun themselves, and in which
the corn fodder may be fed and worked
down into manure | would never let
them get wet, but give all the air they
can have. In the beginning dip them
carefully to kill ticks. Nearly all the
advertised clips will do this. Tobacco
stems, leaves or dust may be boiled up
at home and used, if obtainable. | meaI
to try Thyme Cresol this year, as it is
used cold. while tobacco ought to be
hot, say 115 degrees F.
1t may be very desirable to work lot
of corn fodder into the lambs, but some
clover hay should be used with it. l
think wheat good feed to use this year,
and perhaps cheaper than corn. If the
owner thinks best to feed corn and corn
fodder, he should give the lambs what
wheat bran they will eat, and he will
be surprised to find how much greater
the gains will be. would also feed
more corn per day toward the last of the
feeding term. By the addition of the
protein Of the bran the lamb can make
use of more of the carbonaceous ma
terial i'll the corn and fodder, so that it
is very probable that he may make the
lambs weigh up to 1875 pounds this year
by May |.
But he should not hold them too long,
but lei them go as soon as be can see 81
profit III them, for lamb flesh made in
the winter costs very nearly az cents
pa pound here to produce, and proba-
bly, fully as much in Virginia. We sell
in March when the market justiies and
have held some punches till May s.
As to castration, l will merely sug-
gest that, SO far as / have known, the
results are not at all sure to be good
when lambs are months old, and
whenever using knife on lambs for
castration or docking tails be sure it is
sharp and frequently disinfected. Boil
ing water is satisfactory disinfectant.

using a knife that had been used for
skinning dead sheep. E. Wing in

Live Stock Points.

The Chicago fat stock show will be
held at Tattersalls Nov. % to Dec. /.
These fat stock shows ought to be made
as famous as the annual British fat
stock shows. Nobility and royalty are
proud to contribute animals to those.
This is vaster, greater, fatter country
than Great Britain. Our breeders can
make the Chicago fat stock shows re-
nowned the world over. They ought to
do SO.
A farmer near Bloomington, Ills,
was trampled and butted to death by a
bull that had been dehorned. A bull is
never safe till he is dead.
When the telegraph announced that
5000 sheep had been deliberately killed
by raiders in Colorado, eastern people
declared it was a newspaper lie. Not
the most desperate western man would
be guilty Of such savagery, they said.
But when the news was confirmed what
they said would not sound pleasant to
the ears of the men engaged in the sheep
and cattle war. One thing is certain
such disgrace ought to be stopped for
ever. 1t will be done effectually perhaps
only when the land is parceled out in
small lots to individual owners, and if
the war between the sheep and cattle
owners continues to develop such bar
barity the sooner such division takes
place the better for civilization.
At any rate. if you do not feed wheat
outright, give ali your live stock a lib
eral allowance of bran and shipstuff.
The National Horse Show association
will have its annual fashionable event
at Madison Square Garden, New York
city, from Nov. IL to II, with $50, 900
worth of premiums, mostly divided be-
tween hackneys and trotters. This is
New York all over. 1t is the narrowest,
most provincial city in the Union. The
Chicago horse show will come later and
will be held in connection with the fat
stock display from Nov. % to Dec. l.
1t will have a greater variety of horses.
A writer in the st. Louis Journal of
Agriculture says he believes the present
drought and low price of wheat coming
together will prove a godsend to farm
ers, for they will thereby be forced to
learn the feeding value of wheat

Live Stock Points.

Concrete farm buildings, stables,
milkhouses and dwelling houses are dry
and warm in winter and cool in sum
mer. Neither rats nor any other kind of
vermin can burrow into them when the
floors are made of the same material.
They are cheap too. Why do we not
have more concrete buildings in this
country, especially where lumber is
scarce and high?
One who has tried it says that wheat
crushed in a cheap steel grinder makes
the best food for everything from horses
to chickens. Even the dogs like it, this
enthusiast declares. AS to people-well,
there is nothing better for breakfast
than grains of wheat that have been
thoroughly washed. dried and crushed
in the grinder then boiled couple of
hours and eaten with cream and sugar.
1t is a cheap dish, and it is food for the
gods. If people would use more of it in
place of their everlasting fried pork and
potatoes, they would be handsomer and
healthier.
After breeding live stock for many
years man who pours his wisdom up
on the people through the agricultural
page announces that he has come to
the following Bunsbylike conclusion,
1.-The value of horse or mare depends
very largely on the animal itself. Just
so.
Animals as well as people have rheu-
matism. 1t announces itself by swelling
of the joints. The best remedy is to battle
the affected parts we'll and frequently
with hot water Then rub them with
camphorated liniment and put a flannel
bandage around them. Put two drains
of salicylic acid in mash and feed it
to the animal once day.
A Dakota man has found that alfalfa
is a great thing for hog raising. He be-
lieves it is best for them when fed Just
before it is ready to make into hay. He
has had this year 20 acres III alfalfa.
The season has been ID very dry one, but
he has pastared CD the 20 acres so hogs,
10 horses and three milk cows. He has
also moved the field twice during the
season for hay. The COWS and horses
were on it two-thirds of the season.
Greasy ointments make horses hoofs
brittle
The hog raisers made the best show
ing at the Iowa state fair. In conse-
quence Of the drought many exhibits
fell off. but there We're shown 1900 of
as fine hogs as were ever seen in Amer
lea. Iowa is great state anyway.
If your horse has brittle hoofs, put a
ay blister upon his foot around the top
of the hoof, at the part called the coro-
net Do this three or four times at in
tervals of four weeks. A dressing of
pine tar occasionally afterward is very
good.

Increasing the Knee Action.

have pair Of driving horses wish
them has extra good knee and hook ac-
ton, and the other one is just fair. Can
she be shod SO as to make her an actor?
IF so, what heft of shoes should she
wear?
In answer to Mr.. Hawley's inquiries
I would state, first, that on general
principles it is mistake to hitch to-
gether as driving team two horses I'M
equal in their action, and, second, that
no kind of shoeing is ever likely to
transform poor actor into good actor.
Something in the line of shooting can
probably be done, however, to improve
the action of the mare, although it is
difficult to prescribe with any degree of
certainty without seeing the mare or
her movement or even knowing her
weight Or the size of her foot. Presum-
ing her to be / 900 pound animal with
an average sized foot, l should recon-
mend front shoe of from IS to 20
ounces, with the weight we'll toward
the heels The hind shoes should be
proportionately lighter, Of course-say,
10 to A ounces. After driving her a
few weeks, and if an Improvement in
her action be visible, still heavier shoes
could be tried, say, up to % ounces.
1 consider that many people make the
mistake of trying to sell as a team ami
mails that are not mated in their gait
or their disposition. AS a case in point
a friend of mine bought in my presence
a team Of l, 100 pound brown mares in
the Chicago market few weeks ago
for $160. Standing still, they seemed
we'll mated, but in action the one so far
excelled the other that my friend decid-
ed to separate the mares and offer them
singly. The result was that the action
less mare brought only $62. so, while
the other one brought $40, or nearly
twice the price of her mate. l would
suggest to Mr.. Hawley the possibility
that if his good acting horse is properly
fitted and marketed he may bring alone
about as much money as the pair will
if one is 'laggard. '-Waverley in

jack appreciates and gives return for
good treatment as well as horse does:
ga jack should have a warm, COM
Portable stable, the windows darkened
during the summer, so he can hide from
flies. He should have lot of at least
half an acre to run in pleasant days,
where he can get grass, dirt and have
room to roll He should not be fed too
much corn (say three ears day., for it

Cement Stable Floor.

Coal ashes will make an excellent
material for mixing with the hydraulic
lime and sand for the concrete for sta
ble floor. Weed ashes will not answer
the same purpose. What is required is
something that is bulky and will fill up
with the cement, making an artificial
stone. and of such character as will
be firmly bound in stony mass that will
wear we'll The rough porous nature of
coal ashes is precisely what is needed
for this purpose, and thus it answers as
a substitute for gravel and broken stone
