To Teach a Team to Pull.

1t is real pleasure to have team
that can be relied upon to pull when
ever wanted to do so. Any team. if
not Of a too highly nervous tempera-
ment, may be trained to perfect reli-
ability. We need first of all and
forever after to recognize that the
horse has a mind and at least the
mental qualities of memory and af-
lection. The consideration of para
mount Importance in this matter,
according to the view of a writer in
National Stockman, is to develop the
teams confidence in themselves and
in their driver. 1t is just as true of
the horse as of man that he will not
exert himself greatly over what he
has no hope of accomplishing. But
different from man tho horse thinks
of previous loads instead of the one
to which he is attached. This is the
reason balky horse is apt to refuse
to pull very light load. He has no
way of estimating his load only by
pulling upon it. Hitch horse to a
very heavy load, let him pull upon
it. then transfer him to an empty
wagon and start him. You will see
him gather himself for a heavy pull.
He has in mind the heavy load Had
the horse been stalled with a heavy
load and whipped until the driver
and horse were both certain he could
not pull it, you would have a horse
thoroughly broken not to pull. This
writer says:
Let me impress the truth of this
by calling to mind another illustra-
ton of the result OF similar treat
ment. ] have seen men who had
horses given to pulling upon the
halter. put one on them they were
confident the horse could not break
and then whip them over the head
in order to make them pull. Nearly
always when a horse finds he can
not pull loose he will walk up to the
hitching post. ! have heard men
argue that a horse could be so
thoroughly broken In this way that
tow string would hold them. There
is some truth in it, though not all
horses are to be managed in the
same way. A horse of nervous
temperament should never be ex-
cited. They will always do their
best in q perfectly calm state Of
mind.
The drivers of fast trotters have
taught us this. They have also
learned that to keep the horse calm
all men in attendance must remain
so. No passionate, profane man
ever developed great speed in a
horse nor trained a powerful pulling
team. With these general principles

Farmer says: Cannot some one de-
wise a method by which this can be
brought about? We will venture a
suggestion to start with. In a GER
tain farming neighborhood in Owen
county an arrangement has been
made whereby the farmers take
turns in slaughtering young beeves
for the use of those IN the comblna-
ton. By this plan ali are supplied
regularly with fresh meat OF excel
lent quality. Suppose now that
similar combinations were formed in
other counties or sections Of the
state, and that instead of merely
enough for home supply, two or
three times as many beeves were
slaughtered as are needed by the
members Then suppose some well
recommended person be employed,
here at Indianapolis, for example to
receive and find customers for this
surplus. The meat being of prime
quality ought to sell readily at good
prices. The advantage to the farmers
would be that they would get the re.
tail prices, which run from eightato
fifteen cents per pound, less the COM
mission or wages paid the agent at

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
IMPROVING THE WESTERN PAS

A Well Conducted Grass Field Sure
Sign of Progressive Farming-To Teach
Team to Pull-Dsiry Notes and House,
Hold Helps.


1t is just as essential that pasuGTs
lands In the West, where land is
cheap, should be improved, as in the
East where it is relatively higher.
Many farmers who have more land
than they can possibly use do not
seem to think So They reason that
1t is better to let the cattle roam
over the whole waste land than at
tempt to improve any particular por-
ton of the farm This is false
economy, for every farmer ought to
know that it is the land he cultivates,
and not the amount he owns, that
yields profit 1t is better to select
ten acres and improve these as much
as possible than to allow 100 acres to
take care of themselves. In the end
more profit will be obtained by him
from the ten acres.
Every part of the grass field should
be brought up to the maximum pro-
duction, and it follows that the cor
ners and weak spots of the field
should receive special attention.
Many times poor spots in the grass
field produce such small growth of
grass that it hardly pays to run the
moving machine over them. There
is some reason for this, and it can be
easily remedied. Special fertilizing
if the soil is poor, or if the grass
pastures stalking them off from the
cattle, will generally enable them to
catch up Where certain kinds Of
luscious grasses grow in the fields,
the cattle are very apt to crop them
soclosely as to injure their roots. 1t
does not pay to let the fields get such
an unoven growth. 10.
1t is quite essential that the Doggy
and bad places should be reclaimed
as soon as possible, says the Ameri-
can Cultiyator. If water settles in
them late in the spring, that alone
will make the grass grow slower and
produce poor spots. They should be
drained and seeded WITH fine grass
seeds. The spaces along the edges
and in the corners of the fields taken
up with briars and bushes and weeds
should be reclaimed. There is no
greater sign of shiftlessness in farm
ing than TO see the fences d.
viding the fields lined with close
hedge of weeds, bushes or briars.
They should not be allowed tc get
start there. The grass should ex-
tend right up to the fence, and all
stumpy and woody growths be re-
moved, SO that the moving machine
blades will not encounter any obsta.
Gle when passing close to the fence.
A well-conducted grass field for
hay, or pasture lot for feeding ami
mails, is a sure sign of progressive
farming; and if this is maintained
from year to year, you can rest salts
fed that the farmer is making money
ont of his business. He knows that
grass is the foundation of all good
farming, and he is building the
cornerstone of his prosperity out of
good material. 1t is not clover
alone, but grass that assures the
farmer success. 1t is we'll to look
to the pastures and grass fields
to see if there is any way of
improving them. &nes,
