Good horses are not raised by
chance; even speed winners must
come from speed winning dams as
well as fast sires. Breed for draft,
coach, saddle or speed, but do not
breed with Indifference to any horse
which is cheap or handy; you will
be sure to get cheap horse if you
do.
Let it not be forgotten by farmers
and all who breed horses that form,
disposition, as well as the common
blemishes-curb, SPAWN, ringbOne,
splint, stringhalt--are as hereditary
as the colorof the hair. 1t should
be kept in mind, too, that the mare
must bear half the responsibility for
the character of the fOal.
If horses are troubled with tender
feet or contracted hoofs they should
be allowed to stand upon an earth
floor, orthe stalls should be filled
with five or six inches of loan
which should be leveled off as holes
are worn therein.

Keep the colts growing to develoI
early maturity and other good quail
ties; give them shelter at night, ant
as much handling and gentling as
possible. This will make and breal
the good colts ready for work at III

TO have horses grow old anC

any farmer. Rather let him buy
and raise young animals, using then
with care until their prime, anC
then sell them at their highest value

Poultry.

Formerly, when chickens were
Matched, corn meal dough was
mixed up with cold water and scat
tered on a board for the little things
to run over and soil. Such work is
exceedingly useless and unproft-
able. Neither is it wise to keep a
hopper of the fattening cereals be-
fore the hens at all times.
In judging of the age of poultry,
the size and appearance of the spurs
form a guide. Again the skin on
the legs of a pullet or cockerel is
smooth and has fresh appearance,
while that of the adult fowl yearly
grows coarser and more shriveled.
The gristle forming at the tip of
the breast-bOne is supple and tender
in young birds. Ducks which have
arrived at the age of two or three
years have a deep depression down
below the breast feathers, and their
waddle becomes more and more un-
gaInly.
Cabbage is one of the very best
vegetables to feed to poultry as it
keeps green Il long time and the
chickens enjoy picking at it. Hang
1t up where they can eat it readily,
without scattering it about or soil
ing it. a supply is usually album
daut.
The best is best. BY the introduce
tion of imp owed blood, the increls-
ed weight of one or two pounds for
every chick raised, and an increase
Of one or two dozen eggs from every
cross bred pullet, can be procured
Anything is not good enough.
Pure bred stock is not necessarily
the best, but the common hocks
should be crossed with pure bred
cocks or cockerels. The larger
fowls usually give us coarser meat,
and the farmers wife herself will
choose one of mixed kind; but
profits can be increased by simply
using pure bred males.

Dairy.

The dairy interest of the United
States, even with its low average
product, is of more value than all
our gold and silver mines, and if all
the COWS Were up to the standard
test the yearly output would be more
than trebled.
Rye is an excellent food for dairy
COWS, ard in some respects is worth
more than wheat bran; it has less
digestible and mineral matter, and
more which is carbOnaceOus. 1t
would be cheap at $40 a ton.
1t is unfair for the cows and for
the owners that a few good mixers
should have to support several bad
or Indifferent ones, but it is so in al
most every herd. A BabcOck tester
would reveal state of things never
dreamed of, sometimes.
Habits formed during the first sea-
son of her milking are sure to cling
to the COW as she grows older; there
fore, much depends on how the
heifer is treated. This is notably
true of the habit of a continuance OF
the flow of milk.
The fact that old-fashiOned dairy
ing was practiced only during the
summer, holds such sway over the
minds of many farmers that they
are averse to attempting anything
else. They will not give proper heed
to feed and housing. The animal:
are going to be an expense, any way
and they reduce it to next TO moth
ing.

Agriculture.

Two-thirds of our annual exports
are agricultural products. Our farms
yield about two and a half billion
dollars year, of which our own peo-
pie, not of the farming class, con-
sumo four-fifths, and the other fifth
is sent to feed other countries. About
one-third of our people are tillers of
the soil.
There is not a farmer in the coun-
try to-day but can do better than he
is now doing. Most certainly there
is not one but can make more clear
money by studying how to run his
farm right and getting hold of the
real principles of his profession than
he can by devoting his time to the
politics Of his Government.
Save labor, save heat, save food
save money. The cared-for machine
or vehicle will last ten times longer
than the one exposed. The well
housed animal or fowl will do better
and eat less than one not cared for
1t is as essential to do in the best
manner as it is to do the best thing
Bad management has blighted the
prospects of thousands; whiskey anC
tobacco have stolen many mans

that fast horses are running as many
more. 1t is fact, no less true thar
sad, that the cause of the farmer
discomfort usually lies within him
self.

more cheaply than pork or beef be-
cause the wool so largely pays the
cost of feeding. The Southdown is
doing more than all other sheep to
introduce good mutton into common
use in America.
Sheep kept upon farms in small
flocks are more profitable per capita
than those kept in large numbers,
for the reason that they are more
easily handled, and are consequent
ly better cared for. Large tiocks are
better suited to the range.
A sheep which starts to go down
does so rapidly. Dry feed is not
good for sheep, as their digestion is
not strong enough for it, and many
of their diseases are attributable to
it. They need green, succulent food
to keep the bowls and other organs
in good working condition. Roots
are excellent; so with ensilage, in
moderation.

Probably the sheep was the first
domesticated animal, because in the
earliest written history of man we
learn of his being keeper of sheep.
With many of the remains of men
found in ancient caves and mounds
the bones of sheep are also found,
Doubtless their woody skins were
then used for clothing.
No animal upon the farm requires
so long a time to overcome the eff
fects of verfeeding as does the sheep,
and when steady gain is necessary
in fattening special care must be
taken in regard to this point. There
is the same risk in feeding growing
lambs.

Cattle.

1t somehow happens that calves
are more generally neglected in tn cir
winter care than any other stock
upon the farm, yet a stunted calf
will not turn out to be as good a beef
or milch cow as it would had ii made
thrifty and uninterrupted growth.
The day of extreme prices for well
bred cattle, such as practical farm
ers want for improving their stock =,
is happily past. Good cattle can
now be found within the reach of
all. This ensures general improve
ment along the whole line in the
near future.
A great advance in theory and fact
has been made over the old notion
that good beeves could not be made
before they are four years old. Bet
ter blood, breeding and management
now make them most profitable at
half that age.
Some facts worth repeating are pa
tent to the observing, enterprising
stockman. Scrub cattle will not
pay, because fed at a loss; they will
not sell at the top price at any time /;
they have taken the same care us
better ones, have required Il longer
time to mature, and, in consequence,
have consumed more food.
The world is over stocked with
grain, the price does not pay for its
production; it is also cursed with a
surplus of scrub stock of all kinds
and their prices do not pay for the
grain they eat; yet we find many
raising grain to feed to this same
poor stock, and abusing the markets
and every one who has any interest
in them. All the while the busy
world is clamoring for horses and
cattle of a better kind.

Horticulture.

The acid of all fruits has its value
in the demands of the human sys-
tenn, and it should be the duty Of
every farmer to provide for his fam
lily all the standard fruits he can
possibly cultivate. Peaches, grapes
and Strawberries should certainly
not be neglected.
Apple trees are slow in coming
into bearing, and crop of peach
trees planted between the rows will
live their shorter life, bearing
several crops of fruit, and be out of
the way before the apples crowd
them greatly. The latter will pro
tect the peach trees, while the
peaches will check the growth in the
apples and induce earlier fruitage.
A large number of orchards have
never paid and never will. The
most common cause is starvation,
for the average farmer who plants
an orchard or buys one goes on
treating the land as such a thing
did not exist. He crops the ground
in rotation or out of it, until it is a
wonder that his orchard lives at all
TO have strawberries in perfection
requires a little more care than
most farmers are willing to give, and
yet good variety in soil, well en-
riched, will, with a little cultivation
given at the proper time, secure tC
us this most delightful fruit il
abundance in its season; and wher
we take into consideration theil
medicinal value, we should be-
prompted to give more attention t
| their cultivation.

Good feeding is the happy medium
between forcing and neglect. 1t
consists of good food properly con-
centrated and mixed, and fed in
amounts which will keep the COW up
to her highest normal mark and not
overtaX her producing powers.
