HORSES DECREASING.
Good Animals VIII BE Hard to Get
n Few Yenra Hence

Good Animals VIII BE Hard to Get
a Few Years Hence.
The large majority of farmers who
own horses seem to be quite anxious to
get rid of them. even at low prices.
Where the farm is mortgaged and the
horses can be spared better than any
thing else on the farm, this is all right.
as it is better to lose the horse than the
home; but where it is not, we regard it
as very unwise and foolish, says the
Kentucky Stock Farm. In country
like ours. where one extreme follows
another, it is not wise to float with the
current or follow the herd. From 1880
to 1890 we bred entirely too many
horses of all classes, and as a natural
consequence we are now suffering a
period of low prices. Our next prediea-
ment, if all signs do not fail, will be a
great scarcity of horses. We base this
opinion upon the fact that everybody
is selling and that very few are breed
ing. We do not believe there are more
than ten per cent. OF the horses being
bred in the United States to-day that
oAASAO WC1O Ola CdAc dBOs AA4S ShA-
not possibly help but produce great
Shortage, and this shortage in supply
can have but one effect--namely, to in
crease the price. As it takes five years
to produce a four-year-old colt, and as
the time cannot be abridged by any
possible means. and as the breeding be-
gan to fall off quite materially in 1893,
four years ago. the shortage is bound
to begin to manifest itself inside of the
next two years. The produce of mares
bred this season will not be four years
old, or ready for market, before 1902.
and between this and that time
we predict that there will be much
greater shortage of horses of all kinds
than has been seen in this country for
many years.

Food for Growing Pigs.

The food given to young pigs after
weaving should be such as to promote
the largest growth Of bone and muscle,
and such food should be fed that Is
composed largely of nitrogenosss char
acter. Fortunately we may have an
abundance of it and of considerable
variety. SKINNED milk stands, per-
haps, at the head, to start the young
pigs, and may be continued with ad-
vantage to the end. Hogs, either old

SHADE FOR BEEHlvEs.

Frees Are Best, but There Are Inexpensive
Substitutes.
Shade is a good thing for the bees and
also for the beekeeper. For this pur-
pose nothing is better than the shade Of
tree. This keeps the sun off and at
the same time allows the air to circu-
late freely in all directions. A free cir
oulation of air is important, for there
is such thing as too great heat even in
a dense shade. One year an Iowa bee
keeper had on one side Of an apiary a
thicket of bushes and on the other side
dense growth of corn. The hives stood
under trees whose shade was so dense
that the sun never shone ON them, and
yet the combs melted down with the
heat in some of the hives. They prob
ably would have suffered less with the
heat if the sun had shone upon them
with full force, providing there had
been free circulation of air. This bee
keeper, writing in the Iowa Homestead,
says:
Scarcely anything could be more
grateful than the wide spreading old
apple tree, and on most places some
thing of this kind is available. For a
few hives it is just as we'll to have
them scattered about with no regular
order. Indeed, the bees will find their
own hives better than if in very straight
rows Trees are not always to be had
at moments notice, and something
must be had at once. Some kind of
vines may be had within a few weeks,
and some have made use of grapevines,
which can be grown large enough in a
few years On the whole, however,
they seem not to have been entirely sat
isfactory i'll the hands of those who
have tried them.
A roof of boards some five or six feet
high is good, but rather expensive.
Merely for the benefit of the bees, a
shade board may be made for each hive.
Take two boards six inches or a foot
longer than the hives, and foot wide.
Bowel an edge of each SO they will fit
together roof shaped, with pitch of
about two inches to the foot. Nail the
two together, then at the gable ends
nail on piece of lath to stay them,
and your roof is complete.
Here is plan easily managed on any
farm: Take small armful of fresh cut
grass (long and coarse is the best); put
OH top of the hive cover, projecting well
to the south side; lay upon this to an
Choir it down two or three small sticks
of frewood, and you have a shade that
will last through the season and be
good.
For the benefit of the beekeeper when
working In the hot sun a very large
umbrella may be used, having fastened
to the handle a stake or stick sharpen
ed at the lower end, so it may be easily
driven into the ground. Another way
is to have four slender iron reds some
six feet long, sharrened at the lower
end, SO a sheet or other large cloth can
be extended over hive and operator. A
projection may be made foot from the
lower end and two or three inches long
IA kind of spur. By means of this the
rod can easily be pushed into the ground
with the foot.

A NEW YORK DAIRY FARM.
Work and Plans Which Have Made 1t

Work and Plans Which Have Made II

A correspondent of The Rural New

to fasten his cows.
The correspondent writes: Dairying

nate in his selections. Lord Lofty is al

Squire Kent, formerly of the Old Brick

also of the finest strains of this breed,

cows kept and used on a business basis.
The barn is commodious, with &C.
mented floors and water throughout af-
fording facilities for watering the COWS
without leaving the stalls. A feature Of
the stable is the fastenings or stanchions
invented by Mr.. Woodward. The stan
chions are made of ordinary iron pipe
bent by blacksmith, as shown.
A ring slips up and down one of the
pipes, and into this the halter is fasten.
ed, the other end of the halter strap be-
ing fastened to a strap around the COW IS

drinking, she backs her head out Of
the stanchion, and the convex iron pipe

CREAMERY PATRONS.
Rules That Must Be Observed In {
Treatment of Milk.

Rules That Must Be Observed In the
Treatment of Milk.
Milk is TO be delivered four times a
week in winter and daily in summer
except Sunday.
On the road to the creamery the cans
must be protected from heat in summer
and freezing in winter by covering with
Glenn blankets.
Patrons must on no account use any
kind of preservatives to prevent milk
from souring
All milk delivered shall be sweet and
i'll good condition. If any be found 9th
erwise, the operator should reject the
same
As tending to this end the following
directions should be observed:
II the cows are stabbed, they should
be kept as clean as possible.
Before milking, the udder and flank
should be carefully brushed and then
wiped with damp cloth, even if the
COW is apparently clean.
Patrons should be especially careful
about musty hay or litter Almost any
hay or fodder that has been stored in
bulk contains dust which if allowed to
get into buckets or milk will have a
bad effect on the product.
Musty or i'll smelling bedding for
COWS should never be allowed under any
circumstances.
At milking time the air In the stable
should be as clear ard sweet as possible.
AS soon as milk is drawn from the
COW it should be strained through wire
and through cloth and it should be aired
and cooled before it is shat up III cans
TO be hauled.
Warm, new milk should net be put in
the can with the previous milking that
has been cooled.
In winter, vi hen milk is not deliv-
cred every day, it should be stirred up
at least once in II hours to prevent the
cream from getting too thick and to
prevent cream rising. Otherwise it will
be impossible to take "A correct sample
for testing. This is for the patrons ben
eft.
Milk should be delivered promptly at
the same hour for each patron.
AS soon as the cans come home with
skimmilk they should be emptied (rinsed
out with cold water) and carefully
washed with warm water containing a
little sal soda, then scalded with boiling
water and turned up on racks in the
sun, with their caps off until wanted.
The rule In relation to scalding the
milk cans with boiling water should
also auply to the milk pals and stralner.
Steam would be better, but where that
cannot be had, have a good. large
amount of boiling water. not little
dab of few quarts
Patrons should be exceedingly careful
NOT TO milk COW too near her time OF
calving, either before or after.
The practice of allowing the male 20
run with the herd should never be al
lowed, and a careful record should be
kept Of each cows time. Hoard 8

PORTABLE PIC Sly.

One That Affords Ample shelter and
Is Warm and Dry.
We fully appreciate the fact that the
hog is not an attractive feature about
the home or dooryard, and would not
tolerate him running at his dear, sweet
will and risk chances of breaking some
of the ten commandments. We would
put him to the rear Of buildings. out

Rust In Wheat.

At meeting held In Melbourne to
consider rust in wheat the conference
gave these general conclusions:
1t is of opinion that there is no posi-
BILE treatment of the seed that will pro
tect the plants growing from it from
the attacks of rust Furthermore, that
the notion that rust shriveled seed can
be sown with as good results as pump
seed is erroneous. OF the many practi-
cal details which have been demonstrate
ed experimentally as calculated to d.
minish the prevalence of rust, the confer
ence emphatically recommends "that
seed wheat be allowed to ripen fully
and be carefully stripped or thrashed;
that seed wheat be graded, and the
larger and heavier grains selected for
seed. -
