HINTS FOR hoRssMEN.

HORSES are made gentle by kindness
They are anxious to obey, and it is bet
ter and easier to convey wishes by
words or gestures than by blows.
LEAVING shoes on over twenty-five or
thirty days causes corn and contrac-
tions which are serious and difficult to
cure. 1t is we'll to omit the back nail
ON the inside of fore feet
Few colts bred have the blood, speed
and individuality to entitle them to be
kept in the stud, And yet two-thirds
of the men il the horse business lose
money in consequence of so doing.
70 THE practice of promiscuously
breeding to inferior animals in order to
produce numbers instead of quality,
more than TO any other feature of the
business, may be charged the present
low prices.
CONDITION in a horse does not simply
mean the presentation Of good ap.
pearance,, but signifies the ability to
endure work aud maintain health.
The latter qualities cannot be possessed
without liberal feeding and plenty OF
exercise. Good condition requires time
to produce.

PRACTICAL RESULTS.
The First Year In Poultry Raising Causes
Many Surprises.

The First Year In Poultry Raising Causes
Many Surprises.
The best informed persons, those
who may have taken advan tage of the
experience If others, and who may
have resorted to all the literature to
be obtained, will also find when they
have passed through the first year, that
there were thousand and one facts
that could not be detailed or explained.
In fact, many things occur with one
which may not happen with Others
and which may not occur again, but
every transaction is a contribution to
the knowledge of the poultryman.
1t is better 10 expect nothing the
first year. Something will be gained,
however, and that is experience. In
the management OF large numbers
there are many matters which will
happen and which cannot be discovered
except by daily observation. Every
poultryman, whether beginner or
not, is capable of originating some
thing, and he is as liable to make dis
covery that will revolutionize all pre-
viouS theories and methods as is the
veteran. The beginner who has read
poultry literature has, however, a
great advantage over him who has de-
pended on experience alone, for ,litera-
ture is really the published experience
of others. There is no pursuit, how
ever, hat does not require the practice
of the theories to make them more IA
miliar and better understood. In the
poultry business one has to understand
not flock only, but the individual
mem bers of the flock.
Practical results always point to sue
cess The first year may be an entire
iailure, with loss of time, capital and
labor, but the cause of the failure may
be discovered, and Il knowledge of the
cause may be OF more value than the
pecuniary loss. One must not estimate
the results by the operations of d
single year Hundreds of farmers have
failed with crops one year and beer
successful the next, owing to more IA
vorable conditions the second year; anc
the poultryman who has failed, yet
discovered the cause and learned
, more about how to manage, may, il
! the end, be benefited by his losses
as he will be more careful and be better
informed in regard to future opera
items. Farm and Fireside.

ROTATION or CROPS.
Composition OF Soils and Way to Main
tnin Their Fertility.

composition of Soils and Way to main-
tain Their Fertility.
As The result OF the analyses of 100
samples Of soils, the Minnesota station
has issued bulletin OF which the fol-
lowing is summary;
|. The continued cropping of soils to
grain crops only without any system OF
rotation or other treatment is telling
severely upon the original stock of half
decomposed animal and vegetable mat
ters, and nitrogen. Soils which have
produced grain crops exclusively for ten
or fifteen years contain from third to
a half less humus and nitrogen than
adjoining soils that have never been
plowed.
2, Soils which have been cropped
until the organic matters and humus
have been materially decreased re-
tain less water and dry out more
rapidly than when there is large
amount of organic matter present in
| the soil.
8. Soils which are rich in humus
contain a larger amount of phosphates
associated with them in available
forms than the soils that are poor in
| humus.
L. Soils which are rich In humus and
organic matters produce larger
amount OF carbon dioxide that acts as
a solvent upon the soil PARTICLES and
aids the roots in procuring food.
s. One-half of a sandy knoll, heavily
MANFRED with well-rotted manure, con.
tanned nearly a quarter more water
during six weeks drought than the
other half that received no manure
g. The supply of organic matter an
the soil must be kept up, because il
takes such an important part, indi.
rectly, in keeping up the fertility OF
the soil. A good system of rotation, in
Guiding sod crops and well-prepared
farm manures will do this, and will
avoid the introduction and use of com
mercial fertilizers, which are now cost
ing the farmers Of tho United State:
over $50, 100000 annually. 1t will not
do to wait until this question forces it
self upon u.s.
I. A rotation Of crops will soon bt
necessary on account of the peculiar
composition of some Of the soils ant

those in which the surface soils ar,
richer in phosphates and nitrogen
while the sub-soils arv richer in potash

FOR HAULING HAY.
Cheap and Simple Rack and Some of
Its Advantages.

A Cheap and Simple Rack and Some of
Its Advantages.
The hayrack shown in the illustra.
ton is one which used last summer
1t is is feet long and feet wide. Two.
inch lumber is used FOR the stills and
cross pieces, the former being inches
and the latter inches in width. Three
boards are nailed or bolted on top OF
the cross pieces on each side of the
rack. A 2x4 scantling long enough TO
reach from the outer edge of the rack
to the inside of the boards is bolted
edgewise on top of the two hind cross
pieces. An inch strip must be placed
upon the hind cross piece to bring it up
TO level with the one in front of the
hind wheel. The cross pieces are now
high enough so that when the boards
are placed upon them they will be out
of the way of the wheel. This makes
a rack which is nearly level, being only
4 inches higher behind than in front
This rack is advantageous in that the
distance between the stills Is smaller al
the front end than at the rear end o.
the rack, thus allowing shorter turns
than when they are mad C parallel 1r
