HORSE BREEDING.

A recent bulletin of the Missouri
Board of Agriculture has some sUgges,
tions on horse breeding.
The farmer may breed a high class
roadster, a coach horse, or a draft
horse and il the mating of the sire and
the dam is done intelligently, and
proper care is given the foal, he will be
assured of success. But quality can,
not be neglected. The sire and dam
must represent what is wanted in the
foal. Should the sire and dam not
possess breeding, but are the result Of
accident, you r not assured that they
will reproduce themselves. The cheap
ness of the services of a cross roads
stallion should not recommed him
Look first for continued breeding in
the line you desire, then individuality,
and the reasonabIeness Of the price
may be considered afterward. But
you should remember that the services

"Now, you just firt the gravel down
that road, young man, OF I will make
bUzz4rd's food of you. Quick !" she or
dered.
There was shoot in her eyes and
'sbuck and bali" in the gun. So Buck
'flrted the gravel" his bosom swollen
with impotert rage and his mouth
OVERLOOKING with impotent profanity.
By this time it was dark. Over ii
a field Buck spied a ginhOuse. He
went to it and climbed into the lott,
laid down on the floor and 500 was
fast asleep, After a time he was G-G2'
ened by voices down below. He listened
and made the discovery that n was q
female voice, and a moment later he
realized that che was relating the
jumping" episode to her companion,
who gave vent to peal after peal Of
laughter. There were the chicken and
his dollar, which he could see by the
light of the talIow dip. Peering about
he saw his gun also. There was a big
hole in the floor of the loft, and just as
the man took hold of the dish to eat
the chicken Buck plunged through
that hole and seized his gun. Before
they recovered from their astonishment
Buck roared out: Madame, you just
firt the gravel back home, and as for
this gentleman, he and I will firt gravel
to the Office Of the provost marshal.
He is the deserter 1 have been after for
a week."
There was shoot IN Bucks eye now.
The woman left. Buck recovered his
dollar, ate the chicken, and before mid
night surrendered his prisoner to the
provost marshal. -Ex.

POINTS ABOUT SWINE.

In selecting breeding swine, says the
Southern Cultivator, take those hav-
ing fine head and ears; large, deep
chests, long between fore and hind legs;
short back and broad body, large hams
and foe, smooth legs and hair. In
selecting the male the same points will
hold good. An old SOW, like an old
COW, will give more milk than a young
one. Hence it is that an old SOW will
have larger and better pigs than a
young one, because they get a boun-
teous supply of milk. II you have an
extra fine breeding SOW do not fatten
her because she is two or three years
old.
A SOW should not be mated until she
is seven or eight months Old. At all
times she should have plenty Of exer-
else and be we'll fed on food that is
largely heterogeneous. Before narrowing
the SOW should be placed in a comfort
able pen, where she should have a linn
tied supply Of fine bedding. After far
rowing she should have a warm drink,
but nothing else for twenty four hours
For the first few days after narrowing
she should be fed lightly. The ten
dency of sows to eat their young is
caused by being fed food that is too
concentrated, or by a lack of exercise.
A mixture of bran and ground oats,
with some roots or grass will prevent
this unnatural desire.

A FAREWELL.

George 7. Strudel, in retiring from
the editorial responsibility of the Bit
ter Root Times, at Hamilton, Montana,
says:
For fourteen months past we have
been making an effort at endeavoring
to attempt to try a bluff IN running a
newspaper. A physical collapse some
six months ago prevented an exposure
of mental disability later on.

essence OF wisdom, viz:

indigestion and an ~o'erweening embi
ton to successfully operate a Wash

profit Jon your investment, while the
other will prove deceptive and in all
probability bring you into debt.
Horses demanded by the present
and future markets cannot be grown
in herds on the Western ranches like
cattle. Free grass will not make
the massive draft animal, the high
stepping coacher, orthe stylish, shapely
driver. The farmer who uses his dam
for his farm work can produce a foel
at a nominal cost. His only expendi-
ture in actual cost is for service fee. a
reasonable amount of work for tho
dam is advantage to the foal rather
than other wise. Give the foal rapid
development and remember that a de-
cline in condition, a check in growth,
means a shrinkage in profits. In this
way the horse stock Of this country
may be improved; other wise it will de
~teriorate. By breeding better animals
and by continued Improvement the
healthy demand Of foreign countries
will continue; otherwise it will abate.
When they cannot find what their
market demands in this country they
will go elsewhere or produce them in
their own country. We cannot force
them to take what we have regardless
of quality or characteristic. They r
masters of the situation in that respect,
and we can only continue their patron
age by producing what they want.
He who is abreast of the standard OF
excellence fixed by the markets in his
day will reap the profits, while he who
follows in the real Of the procession
will gather to himself only delusion
and disaster.

Ioosening the grip. Repeat this opera
ton until the milk ceases to fow.
80. When the flow of milk is not
large, it is generally necessary to strip
first one pair of teats and then the
other to coax the milk into the teats,
or to make the COW give down"
Grasping the udder high up and strok-
ing downward to the teat helps expe-
dite the flow of milk.
80. In many cases the milk does not
stream directly downward into the
pail, but off TO n aide. With a little
care, one can oon get the right posi-
ton to turn the stream into the pail
and avoid waste.
81. Be careful not to pinch the cows
teat or to cut your nail into the skin.
Kickers are often made by hurting
COWS in this way.
80. Let every mixer have the same
COWS to milk regularly each night and
morning, and let him begin with the
same one, milking each in the same or
der, and closing with the same one
every time. This regularity induces a
sort of expectancy or habit in the coWs,
so each is expected to be MIXED when
her turn comes. There is a sort Of sur
prise or excitement about being MIXED
out of order that lessons the flow. Cows
get used to n mixer, enjoy the opera
ton more, and do better than they
will if they have different mixers. 1t
is important that the COW should like
her mixer and have confidence in him.
80. Strip the teats at least twice after
exhausting the first flow, and be sure
that the milk is all drawn. This gives
nature to understand that you demand
the amount and expect her to keep up
the flow. Leaving a little milk gives
her the opposite hint and she is sure to
take it. Nature responds to demands.
No demand, no supply.
"a. Keep all the dirt possible out of
the milk, and do not depend on the
strainer to take out dirt. Only hairs
and such dirt as is mechanically held
cen be strained out. What is dissolved
will remain in the milk to foul it, and
injure its flavor and it's keeping quail
ties.

HOW "BUCK" KILGORR CAP
TURED A DRSERTER.

During the war "Buck" Kilgore was
ordered home to..assist inEgathering up
some deserters. One evening about
dusk he was out in the country in
quest of q deserter who had been eff
the Layout" for a year. He called at
a house by the roadside and there he
found a woman just taking from a spit
Ia nicely-broiled chicken. The SAVIOR
of the fowl made him ravenous. He
had a Mexican dollar in his pocket, to
which he was much attached, but he
was bound to have that chicken, and
he pulled out the dollar and proposed
a trade-the coin for the fowl. The
lady said the chicken was for a sick
friend and that she could not sell it.
"But, she continued, III jump you
for it."
What do you meanG" said Buck.
81 mean that we will see which can
jump the farthest from this doorsiIl
out into the yard, and the one of us
that beats shall have both chicken and
dollar"
"All right; that suits me exactly"
said Buck. The dollar was placed on
the dish beside the chicken and his gun
was leaned against the wall by the
door, and Buck slung his arms and
made a tremendous leap of over u
feet. He recovered with difficulty.
and when he turned to the door there
