The hereunder stopped beneath the win

strings softly and lovingly. Then he looked
sIonS the line Of fence that I marked the the
street end of the handsome premises.
Nothing was in sight.
Looking again at the window, the youth
ran his fingers swiftly across the strings,
and then, lifting up his head and opening bis
mouth until the moonlight glittered on his
teeth, he began in shrill tenor:
'Oh, don't you remember"
But he got no further.
The window above suddenly opened and

way.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

hooks, quarter cracks or contracted
feet from the one too general cause Of
upright pasterna 1t is our firm con-
viction that more general lameness can
be traced to the upright pastern as its
remote cause than to all other causes
combined. If the marc has upright
pasterns be sure that the stallion to
which breeding is contemplated is sup
piled with very oblique and springy
pasterns. If the mare has fat feet with
low, narrow heels, be sure the stallion
has feet with strong, upright walls,
concave soles and wide, upright heels.
Now, after all this examination for
good feet and legs, it is of the utmost
Importance that these good feet and
legs hold proper relations to the body
and with one another. In other words,
they do not want to be situated too
near together nor too wide apart for
easy movement, and more than all the
rest, they must not be twisted out.

should stand directly to the front, with

Breeding mare to a stallion where
the toes of both turn out badly would
have tendency to produ ce foal that
would have to be booted from the day
At was foaled to prevent it from ''cuf-
fng" its ankles, tendons and knees.
This one defect calls for more ex-
pert shoeing and booting than any
other. The reverse condition must
likewise have due consideration, with
the constant view in mind to correct
the defects of the mares through the
projections of the stallion; at least,
never combine the defects of the same
character in both sire and dam.
We have called attention to the spe.
cial types of horses, breeding and de-
tails in conformation, sincerely believ-
ing that If the attention and close OBJ

are breeding one or more mares sea-

All the improvements in our horses

future to preserve the most valuable
types of our noble equine race. c.

SPEED OF THE WORK TEAM.
While Some May be Faster, the Average
Speed of the Farm Horne ut Work
ID Two Miles an Hour.

A few evenings ago l CHANGED to
overhear some conversation by some
young farmers, and the subject was
pretty well discussed as to the rate of
speed made by the average farm team
when at work in the field, and, like
young America generally. they were
ready to admit that they had good
walking teams. / know that some of
them prided themselves in making
their teams show off their good quail
ties, and the general opinion was that
teams would walk two and one-half
miles or more an hour when at work
in the field, while some thought the
three-mile mark would be reached in
some kinds of work.
1t is q very slow horse that will not
walk more than two miles an hour,
while good walking horse will go
three miles an hour, and some will
do even more than that. Let us do a
little figuring and see what would be
accomplished. We will start with the
two and one-half mile gait, and there
is scarcely q farmer who is willing to
admit that his team is slower than
that, but we will take that, and for
convenience count it ten hours a day,
25 miles-that looks rather large when
we are blowing ]6inch burrows, 1t
takes little less than SIX miles of
travel to pillow an acre, SO you see
by the time we have reached
the twenty-ffth mile post there are
about four and one-third acres plowed;
pretty lig, isn't it? Well, three acres
day, that will do then; about seven
teen and eight-ninths miles will be
travelled. which would be about one
and four-fifths miles an hour.
Well, let's start out to harrow. The
harrow takes Is feet wide, and q strip
of land that wide 25 miles long would
make a trifie over AZ acres. Two-thirds
that many acres would be good days
work, and one and three-fifths miles an
hour would do it. Now, when plant.
ing. My planter is three and one-half
feet wide, and it takes little more
than one and one-seventh miles OF
travel to plant an acre, and - acres q
day Is good work; little less than
one and one-half miles an hour would
do it. To illustrate it another way,
and see how it looks: We arc most of
us familiar with the s0-rod field. In
planting 15-inch burrows it is no diff
cult matter to make four rounds an
hour, which would be GAO rods travel
an hour, and-ten hours would be 6,40O
rods, or 20 miles-just two miles an
hour; working at that rate would pillow
nearly three and one-fourth acres, so
we find that farm work is generally
done at less speed than two miles an
hour.-Cor. Wallace Farmer.
