If an animal of great excellence
is defective in one point it is desir'
able to select for its mate one that
is particularly strong in that point.
Cross breeding is the pairing of
animals not allied in several gener-
atoms. Good horses have been
produced both by cross and by in
and-in breeding.
What is termed "blood" in horses
only fits them in a higher degree
for certain purposes. As a rule,
improvement in breed cannot be
obtained by mating animals entire
ly dissimilar in general charater-
istics.
Generally the breeding of fast
trotters is not a profitable business
for the average farmer, When a
really good trotter is produced the
lost Of his development will in
most cases eat up the price he
brings.

Size, form, bone and constitution
must always first be regarded in
breeding.
Never expect to produce per-
feet animal by mating two imper-
feet ones.
The extremes of fieetness and
strength are never found in the
same horse.
Acquired qualities are transmit
ted, whether of sire or dam-bad
qualities as well as good.
If both parents are bad in one
and the same point, the offspring
will be worse than either.
The great improvement in the
breeds of horses has come through
the selection of stations of the best
quality
In-and-in breeding is the pairing
of relatives within the degree of
second cousins twice or more in
succession.
The qualities essential in a car
riage or coach horse are size, SYM
metry, style, color, soundness and
graceful action.
Experience teaches that you can
not develop a new quality in the
next generation by female devoid
of that quality, even though mated
with horse possessed of that quail
ity to a marked degree.

Everybody has heard of Mic Arend's wild
cat The cat was given Me some months
ago and ever since has been living on the
fat of the land The cook, colored woman
at Mics place. feeds the cat, which has
manifested great fondness for her When
she approaches the cage, he purrs in the
most pleased manner, but If anybody else
comes about him he Immediately growls
and shows his wicked looking fangs. The
cat is perfectly satisfied with his home
Two or three times his cage door has been
accidentally left open, but he never even
walked outside to see what the rest Of the
world looked like
However whenever IL occurred that the
cage door was left open, Mic always missed
a chicken. The other day he saw the cat
catch one. He simply crouohed down by
the door and waited until the chicken. OBJ
livious of danger, came along, and then he
shot out his paw and had the chicken by
the head. After he catches and kills the
fowl he picks all the feathers off OF it nj

The principal objection to grow
ing late potatoes is the risk of the
crop being cut short by the hot, dry
weather of August and September.
If the season is favorable at this
time good yield can be relied up
on. One of the best ways of grow
ing late potatoes in places subject
to drouth is to cover well with
wheat straw. This acts as mulch
and aids in retaining moisture in
the soil. Another advantage in
mulching in this way is that closer
planting is possible. assuring a bet
ter yield in proportion to acreage
AS with all root crops, it is import
ant to prepare the soil deep and
thoroughly before planting. Pillow
and then harrow we'll If to be
covered with straw, mark out the
burrows shallow and not over two
feet apart-1Si inches will do. Drop
the seed Is or Is inches apart, COW
ering with a little soil. Two or
three inches is plenty deep. Then
cover all carefully with a good
mulch of straw. This is all that
is necessary until digging time.
The advantages in this plan are in
having plenty of moisture through
the season by retaining it in the
soil, the closer planting that can be
made and the saving of all cultiva-
ton But it is more work to har-
vest properly, and in wet seasons
the yield will rarely be satisfactory.
The planting can be done at any
time up to the early part of June,
and the crop will mature before
frost, and with fair yield will
prove a profitable crop.

FARM Notes.


~ -
the Summer.
Always approach the hive from
the side or rear.
Every farm should have its bees
as well as its fowls, COWS and horses.
With bee-keeping and fruit grow
ing combined two crops may be
made from the same land.
There are few crops that return
so much for SO little outlay and
labor as does the honey crop.
Another desirable trait of the
Italians is that they cling to the
combs when they are removed from
the hive.
In a good season bees increase
very rapidly, and by hiving and
saving them it is positively easy to
get a good start.
When bees are gathering honey
they are usually more amiable and
can be easier handled than at
almost any other season.
Bees will not gather much honey,
nor will the brood thrive we'll if the
hives stand where they receive
strong or disagreeable odors.
Italian bees are preferred to the
common bees because they work
earlier and later and can reach
nectar in flowers that common bees
cannot.
Ordinarily with good manage
ment and not allowed to swarm a
colony of bees will make from IS
to 100 pounds of good honey in a
season.
A weak solution of carbolic acid
with a small quantity of salt added
is specific for bee stings. Apply
it literally as soon as possible after
being stung.
When the bees are building comb
or raising brood, they must have
water. A supply should be placed
in shallow troughs in place where
they can help themselves.
One of the best ways to start in
bee culture is to buy one or more
colonies of Italian bees in some
good movable frame hive. Always
buy from reliable dealer.
One person with little help can
easily attend to 100 colonies of bees
if comb honey is to be the product.
More assistance will be needed if
the honey is to be extracted.
One advantage with the Italian
bees is their ability to defend them
selves against their enemies, the bee
moths. A very small nucleus will
protect the combs of a whole hive.
Every time bee matches it
leaves very thin lining in the cell.
There will be several of these in
season, as it requires only 81 days
for a young bee to emerge from its
cell.
Bees secrete wax, and that is all
that they furnish, except their la
Dor. The wax is produced from
their bodies, and in order to form it
they must be provided with nour-
ishnent.
Extracted honey requires less
skill, but there is more profit in
producing the best viii tie comb hon
ey, for which there is always a de-
mand. 1t has the advantage that
it does not suffer for competition
with a cheap counterfeit.
