Heavy Horses

A Michigan correspondent OF Coun-
try Gentleman, and formerly an adVo-
cate for medium weight horses, writes
as follows: About five years ago l
bought team of heavy horses, weight
about $500 pounds each, more because
| could not find what wanted In llshl-
er weights than from any good Juos-
ment of my own. | had not hao the
team week before their superiority
over the ott:ar teams on the farm was
proved. They moved off with a Pho"
with much less fatigue. They are"
heavy loads with far greater ease-ih
fact, they were masters OF the sltua'ion
wherever put at work. found lhdt ~
took no more to keep them thah INC
lighter horses. unless it may oe 'n"'
they consume a little more nay ioi
they receive the same grain ralioh DO
the others. And as for road WORK. VIC
do not need to put the farm horses NC
fore carriage, and when 1t comes "
taking loads to town they walk Easter
than the others, besides hauling con-
siderably more at load. So great was
the change in my opinion on the SUI
ject of heavy horses for farm Work ina.
l have since bought another Team VI
the same kind. These two teams ao
the hardest, heaviest work on the 1arIn
at all times. all the heavy piowins'
which 1t would require three hgnter
horses to manage. For certain klnds
of work the smaller horses are an
right. For cultivating, moving, hsh'
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 nave 10
be rushed on a large farm, but when
it comes to 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 neec
he be an awkward one. A horse OF
heavy weight should not be so fat az
to be a 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 off the smaller team,
and these may be used for light road
work when required.

STAYING Away from Church.

The habit OF absenting ones self
from the Sunday services of the church
is one very easily made. Sometimes
it is occasioned by sickness; very often
some small excuse, some grudge
against a member, some resentment at
a fellow members fault. is the occa-
sion. Jesus will be there, even il an
unworthy member is present. Jesus
may be present, especially to meet and
forgive that unworthy member; and
who are we that we should Judge
a brother or a sister? We must be
careful not to repeat Thomas error. or
we may aiso-we almost certainly will
also-repeat his unbelief. IL we do
not. like Thomas, come back again to
the place where Jesus meets His dis
ciples. how can we expect to meet Him ?
At least let no one be so jealous for
the honor o. Christ and His church
that he shall dishonor both by avoid
ing them.

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 not the large
cow that gives the most milk, neither
is it the largest hen that lays the largo
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 IMAM the others
and how much less it costs to feed her
the extra profit is apparent. The egg.
producing hen is as much a special pur-
pose creation as the special butter maxi
ing COW.

We have never been able to enume-
rate all the qualities that are necessary

sight it would appear that to give cattle
sufficient food for long time enough
to make them fat should be simple
enough, but as matter of fact more
than this is required. and few men

ii, says Colman's Rural World. There
are, however, men who almost always

few men are good judges of cattle,
