Tho Family uoFar.

A horse that is difficult to flnd. and
one that Is In constant demand. Is one
that can be guaranteed to be safe for
family use. says n writer In Horse
World" At any place where horse
sales are held. one cannot but be i'm.
pressed by the large number Of search
ers after horses suitable for family use
For this purpose horse must not only
be sound and good looking. but he mus,
he absolutely safe In the strictest sense
of the word. He must be afraid OF
nothing. and must be possessed oi
sense enough to behave under circum.
stances which TO the average horse
would mean runaway. He must be
sa re for n woman to drive. and In many
cases the woman will know little abou,
driving and absolutely nothing aboui
what should be done In case Of an acci.
dent. In view OF the dependency tina,
must necessarily be placed on the fam.
ily horse, II Is not to be wondered al
tina, horses suitable for that purpose
are scarce. and also that they com.
mnnd high price whenever they arc
offered. The only wonder is that some
enterprisiny man does not make n spc.
cia,,y of high-class. reliable family
horses.

Treatment of Fowls.

believe that thoroughbred fowls will
generally give better returns for food
and care bestowed than common fowls.
writes Fanny Field in American Farm
er; but for all that whenever / read
an article wherein farmers are told en-
rhatically that II does not pay to keep
common fowls and are advised to kill
them right on and stock up with thor
oughbreds. II makes me mad all over.
Common fowls do pay: even when left
to shift for themselves they will aver
age clear profit Of fifty cents year
per head. Now what would you do II
you were go hard up for ready money
you conld not afford to buy even one
pair of thoroughbred fowls? would
do exactly as another woman did. She
took such excellent care of such COM
mon hens US she could get that they
laid all winter when the price OF eggs
was way up, and from that egg money
she saved enough by spring to buy n
pair of thoroughbred fowls. Then she
killed all her common roosters and
watched out and set all the eggs from
her thoroughbred hen and In the fall
she had thirty-scvcn chickens from the
eggs of that hen. Go thou and do like
