Heavy Horses.

A Michigan correspondent Of Coun-
try Gentleman, and formerly an adVo-
cate for medium weight horses, writes
as follows: About Ave years ago
bought a team Of heavy horses, weight
about 1900 pounds each, more because
could not find what wanted In llgnt-
er weights than from any good 1udg-
ment of my own. / had not had the
team a week before their superiority
over the other teams on the farm was
proved. They moved of with a pho"
with much less fatigue. They 0re"
heavy loads with far greater ease-m
fact, they were masters Of the situa'ion
wherever put at work. / found tnat II
took no more to keep them than tne
lighter horses, unless it may De tnat
they consume a little more hay lor
they receive the same grain ratlon do
the others. And as for road WORK. we
do not need to put the farm horses De-
fore a carriage, and when 1t comes u
taking loads to town they walk faster
than the others, besides hauling coll
siderably more at load. So great was
the change in my opinion on the SUP
ject of heavy horses for farm work ina.
l have since bought another team VI
the same kind. These two teams 10
the hardest, heaviest work on the farm
at all times, all the heavy ploWlhs'
which it would require three llghter
horses to manage. For certain klnus
Of work the smaller horses are all
right. For cultivating, moving hght
dragging and certain other things on
any farm they answer every purpose
or to the small farmer who has not
work enough at any time OF the year
to hurry him. He can take MS Time
and not rush things as they have 10
be rushed on a large farm, but when
it comes to a big days work on disk
harrow or pillow, or where great
strength is required, give me the heavy
horses every time. A heavy horse is
not necessarily slow one, nor need
he be an awkward one. A horse OF
heavy weight should not be so fat as
to be burden to himself either, but
in good. fair condition, with no pro-
truding bones. More grain and less
hay should be the rule on most farms.
Where the farming is extensive enough
to warrant keeping two teams let one
of them be heavy. They will take all
the heavier work of the smaller team,
and these may be used for light road
work when required.

The Depredatlnr Hen.

OF all the things in nature taat anllct
the sons Of men,
There is nothing that know Of beats
the depredating hen;
II you see wild-eyed woman firing
brickbats from the shed.
You can bet hen has busted up her
little aower-bed.
She plumbers and she scratches, she
cackles and she matches,
And forty thousand cowboys couldn't
keep her In pen.
She was sent on earth to fret us, to
excoriate the lettuce;
She's thoro'-going nuisance Is the
depredating hen.
I threw a brick and missed her as she
hustled out my beans,
But Julius Caesars statue was smashed
to smithereens;
Issaw her digging rifle pits where I'd
put my pansies in,
1 fred a good-sized rock and hit my
hired man ON the shin.
She busts all bounds and shackles, she
giggles and she cackles,
She makes me say some earnest things
l haven't time to pen;
1 never used bad language, but now I'm
filed with language,
Alas! I've broke the record thro that
depredatiRg hen.
But now thro'out my cabinet there
floats q pleasant smell,
And the reason for that perfume Isn't
hard to tell;
For when rose this morning, saw my
cabbage-bed wreck,
1 caught that depredating hen and
fiercely wrung her neck;
I hear her flzz and crackle, no more
she'll scratch and cackle,
Or make my summer garden look ike
some hyena's den.
She far too long has bossed me, she far
too much has cost me
I'll eat at luncheon time to-day hun
dred-dollar hen.

Horse Talk.

The horse is a noble animal, in spite
of the fact that he's not above work.
The horse invented horse racing
when he ran with other colts; but he
didn't invent betting the other fellows
money on the result.
The horse hasn't much Of a voice,
but he can go ahead. It's the slow
jackass that does the loud talking.
The horse can say neigh, yet he may
be led into temptation If the halter is
strong enough.
The prehistoric horse had five toes.
The man who walks home from the
race track is wearing off his superflu-
GUS four little bit later.
The horse can afford to laugh the
horse laugh at the bicycle and trolley
car. BY and by there will be none but
nice, easy jobs left for horses.
The horse has been the friend Of
man from the first appearance of the
latter on the planet.
The dark horse is much in men's
mind just now, yet the dark horse is
not altogether a stable character.
II wishes were horses and the wish
were father to the thought, then the
thought would naturally be a colt

Eggs on Exhibition.

At the Illinois state fair last week
different breeds Of fowls. They were
of interest to all poultry scientists and
others engaged in the study of poul-
try subjects. There were great diff
ferences apparent in the shape, size
and color of the eggs Of different
breeds. Probably we have not yet
reached the point where the form and
color Of the egg cuts much Of figure
in the eye of the public, but that such
a time is coming is apparent. Such ex-
hibitions are commendable, as they
present an object lesson easy to under
stand. A close inspection Of the eggs
showed that the biggest fowls did not
lay the biggest eggs. This is import
ant. There is an impression that the
larger the hen the larger the egg. The
there were on exhibition eggs of the
idea is not correct. 1t is aot the large
COW that gives the most milk, neither
is it the largest hen that lays the large
egg. 1t was noticeable that the eggs
of the White Leghorn were larger than
some of the eggs Of the larger breeds.
When we consider how many more eggs
a Leghorn hen will lay than the others
and how much less it costs to feed her
the extra profit is apparent. The egg
hen is as much a special pur-
pose creation as the special butter max
ing COW.

1t seems to US that several dollars q

yards people call old-fashioned cattle,
short of body and with upright horns,
are habitually murdered on the mar
ket even when very fat. These old
fashioned cattle, the common natives.
do not dress well, and certainly are
not attractive to look at; and 1t is in
this that the westerns have an ad-
vantage, for they kill exceedingly we'll

Successful Feeders,

We have never been able to enume-
rate all the qualities that are necessary
to make successful feeder. At first
sight 1t would appear that to give cattle
sufficient food for a long time enough
to make them fat should be simple
enough, but as matter Of fact more
than this is required. and few men
make steady and uniform success of
1t, says Colman's Rural World. There
are, however, men who almost always
'-7ake money at it. The reason is that
sew men are good judges of cattle,
A!hieh is the main point. During these
last few years it has been necessary
to make cattle very thoroughly ma
tured and to get anything like
p respectful ce.

owing either to accident or design. The
practice Of adulterating clover seed
with fine stones and sand is common
in France at the present time. In one
sample from that country examined
last year was found $3.50 per cent of
artiflcially colored yellow quartz stones.
and 1926 per cent of uncolored brown
ish sand. Similar instances have been
reported recently from two Of our
American experiment stations. Some
years ago a firm was discovered in
Bohemia which was engaged in supply
ing seed dealers with both colored and
uncolored quartz sand for purposes of
adulteration, at prices ranging from 81
to 50 per hundredweight.

Variation Of Rainfall.-As is well
known, the amount Of rain that falls
upon land varies greatly in different
regions. or some countries, such as
Peru and part of Egypt, as we'll as
Of the deserts Of Africa and Central
Asia, it may be said that no rain ever
falls there. Upon the table land Of
Mexico, and in many other localities,
rains are very rare. Speaking in gem
eral terms, the most abundant rainfall
is in regions near the equator, where
there are regularly wet and dry sea-
sons, though in certain localities, as IN
some parts Of Guiana, 1t rains well nigh
continually.
