hackney and carriage horse is certain
to continue staple article, and the
business of breeding and condition
ing them for market must prove pro-
fitable industry. While it is true that
the price of fine saddle horses has de-
clned in sympathy with all other
grades of horses the best specimens
still command from $500 to 5000
Kentucky and Missouri are the lead
ing states in breeding saddle horses,
although many fine specimens come
from Tennessee. The breeding is
combination of thoroughbred trotting
and pacing blood, the most popular
strains being Denmark, Black Squir
rel, and Montrose, all noted prize
winners and great sires of saddle per-
formers. An educated saddle horse
is one who goes the saddle ga1ts-gal-
lop, fox trot, amble, pace and march,
OT Wudb lS cldSSluett uS tuo JHTh Sult,
which is measured, commanding
walk. To all the gaits must be united
a fine individual to comprise the ideal
high-priced saddle horse. To break
and educate the saddler to all the
standard PAGES is necessary to
reach the top prices. Some
saddle horses are also broken to har-
ness, and then grade as combination
horses, although the highest grades
are broken and used exclusively for
pedestrian purposes. This branch OF
the livestock interests of the country
could profitably be enlarged, as all
the finer specimens not needed for
home consumption find quick sale for
expectation.

Sea shells murmur because the vib-

by its shape are brought to focus.
The voice can be heard to greater
distance through speaking tube than
through the air because the sound il
confined to the ar within the tube and
the tube itself is good conductor.
People wink because the eye must
be kept clean and moist, and by the

by the glands of the eyes is spread
equally over the surface of the globe.
Sounds can be heard over water to
much greater distance than on land.

The toad is a higher animal than

A Royal Infants Cradle.

The cradle in which the infant son
of the Duke and Duchess of York re-
poses is gift from the Queen, and
bears an inscription to the effect that
it was made in 1910 for the Princess
Royal, was used for all her majesty's
children, and was given by the Queen
to the Duchess of York in 1894. The
Queen commissioned the firm of Ed
monds & Orr, Wigmore street,to fit 1T
up with pure white satin and Honiton
lace, and as the bassinette is itself IN
white wood, there is no color about 1T.
The Queen has also given second
cradle to the Duuhess, made OF ma
hogany, inlaid with fine gliding. his
is fitted up with brocrode in delicate-
ly pale tones of color. The bedding
provided for both cradles is of the
softest and lightest description. The
sheets are of Irish lawn, bordered
with Valenciennes lace, and the blank
cts are of Pyrenean wool, very white,
and weighing very little, the texture
more nearly resembling eiderdown
than flannel. Two small eiderdown
quilts have been provided for the
baby's use, one white and one pale
pink. London News.

CLIMBING ASPARAGUS.

There is probably no decorative
plant grown that has so rapidly gained
in public favor as this lovely tropical
vine. Being native of warm climates
it makes little growth in cold weather
but will endure slight frost without
injury. In warm temperature, how
ever, it grows rapidly, climbing up
the strings stretched for it's support
to height of 20 feet in few months
and will bear cutting two or three
times year.
It's use is chiefly for decorations at
parties and weddings, and for this
purpose it has the great advantage
thatit will keep fresh when cut for
several days if the stems are kept in
water.
For pot plant for. window decora-
tion the asparagus is one of the most
attractive of all ornamental climbers,
its graceful and delicate foliage being
remarkably beautiful, and its. growth
is always healthy and free from the
many insect pests which often infest
window plants. There are two varie-
ties grown, the asparagus Plumoses
and A. Tenaissimus; the former is al
together preferable.-Boston Cultiva-
tor.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Poor pasture and too much exercise
cut down the profits.
Always keep salt where the cows
can have easy access to it.
What farm stock is worth keeping
is well worth keeping well.
Many farmers, in feeding, waste
what, if saved, would make q good
profit.
Keep the stock out of low, damp
pastures, at night especially, during
the fall.
When buying horse for work on
the farm make this point-that it is
good walker.
In breeding, the individual merit of
the sire should be taken into account
as we'll as a long pedigree.
The greater the variety of grasses
in the pasture the better far the thrift
of the stock that feeds there.
Give colt plenty of opportunity to
exercise and he will grow faster and
make better horse when matured.
If all farmers cannot have registered
stock they can improve what they have
by good breeding and good care.
Generally good looking horse will
sell well, but with speed, in addition to
good looks he will be more valuable.
Better supply the home market full
ly when eggs are cheap, and let high
priced meat find market elsewhere.
Much of success attained IN business
life is secured by being posted.
Moral: Read your agricultural paper
thoroughly.
If you have been buying beef at
twelve cents pound and selling eggs
at six cents dozen you have been
losing money.
The Massachusetts Experiment Sta
ton found that feeding skim milk to
calves and hogs was equivalent to sell
ing the milk at thirty-fve cents a hun
dred.
The beneficial effects of a clover
sod are not limited to the nitrogen it
contains, as the mechanical effect in
loosening the soil is an important
item.
Do not let up on furnishing
"greens" for the poultry now that the
dry weather seems to have come to a
settled fact. And see that the fowls
have plenty of water.
In many focks moulting will soon
begin. A little extra meat or little
oilmeal mixed in the daily ration will
not be bad thing to give the fowls.
| The sooner the moulting is over the
better will the flock go into winter.
What is the relation of butter fat
to cheese? Professor Babcock, oi
Wisconsin found that milk averaging
8. 16 per cent of fat made 2. SO pounds
of cheese; milk averaging $50 pei
cent of fat made 260 pounds Of
| cheese, and milk averaging 4.53 pei
cent OF fat made 2.39 pounds o.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
VALUE OF FEED.

Every farmer should make it point
to save every bit of feed possible. 1t
will all be needed this year. The
drought IN the West has cut short hay,
oats and corn over vast extent of
country, and lack of pasture has COM
PEELED feeding what should be laid by
for winter. The lack of feed will
cause an early rush of poor, half fatted
and inferior stock to market. Those
who have the feed will do well to keep
their stock till this rush is over. Good,
well-fed stock ought to bring remunera-
tive prices later on. New York World.

Save tho Piups.

Everybody loves plums. They are
beautiful to the eye and grateful to the
taste. The California plums sent here,
done up in tissue paper, sell for two for
IL nickel aud find buyers at that rate.
But beautiful as they are they cannot
compete with the home grown for
flavor. For years people supposed they
could not raise plums. That the cur
'culio, II small black, beetle, had mort
gage on all our plums as food for his
young, which he raised in the plum,
by adjusting his egg under the skin of
the plum, there to hatch into II small
worm, whose presence rotted the plum
and caused it to drop to the ground,
into which the worm cfawled to come
forth a beetle.
But few years since it was discov-
cred that by spraying the tree a few
times, after the fruit had set, with
preparation OF arsenic and lime, the
fruit grower could lift the mortgage,
by causing the death OF the little black
rascal who held it. And so, for the
last few years, we have had plums, and
young orchards have been set out, and
manv trees planted in private yards,
which are now just coming into bear
ing.
But no sooner than this point had
been reached, and the expectation
raised Of having the plum in abund-
ance, than new enemy appears, and
the whole plum industry and every
plum tree in our. gardens are threat
ened with total destruction. The
deadly black knot, which has caused
the destruction of all the orchards in
Southern Ohio, has appeared in our
midst, and an orchard on Front street
has been permitted to raise the seed
of the fungus without hinderance, and
winds have caught up the fungus and
carried it all over town and planted it
on young trees, where it can now BIZ
found read to do its deadly work the
coming summer, unless it be speedily
cut off and put into the fire. BY the
law of the state the original orchard
should at once be cut down and burned;
either by the owner or by the author
tiles, at the expense of the owner. This
/ is the only treatment which has been
found etficacious.
Let the authorities see to it that this
necessary work of stamping out the
black knot be attended to at once. 1t
is the necessary thing to do, and the
! legislature has empowered them to do
it. Let the cry go forth from every
lover of the fruit: "Save our plums!"
And let every man who owns II plum
/ tree, make it his business to look over
/ his trees and if he finds limb with a
black knot upon it, let him cut it off
and burn it at once.
