TRAINING THE HORSE.
Gentleness Mixed with Firmmess Is
Proper i'm All Cases.

Gentleness Mixed with FirnlMess Is
Proper i'm All Cases.
The work of training young horses
should be made systematic and prac-
teal to be made effective. This is
seldom the case, in the methods prac-
ticed by farmers. It is necessary, too,
to study the disposition of the colt
and treat it accordingly. Because a
horse is vicious and stubborn, it is no
reason that he should be treated in a
brutal manner. Gentleness with firm
ness is proper in all cases. A trainer
says: If horse go too fast the until
tored driver yells whoa! simply mean
ing that the animal should lessen his
speed. If he paw the earth, toss his
head, stamp with Impotence, or do
anything he ought not, the same word
is Numbered into his ears. Any word
used FOR so many purposes is not good
for much in case OF emergency.
The convenient whoa should have
but one meaning, not to lessen the
speed of the horse, but to bring MIN to (,
full stop. When it is given it should
never be- allowed to pass unheeded
be disobeyed or half-obeyed. Does
your horse always stop at this word, or
do you have to stop him with pull at
the lines? A horse is not safe if he
can be stopped in no way except by
pulling at the lines, for rein may
break or a snap may unlock. Many a
runaway might be prevented were all
horses trained to know and obey this
one little word.-Farmers' Union.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
1t L. i'm Prosperous Condition
Throughout the West.

1t IL i'm a Prosperous Condition
Throughout the West.
A careful review of the cattle situa-
ton in the western states reveals the
fact that the cattle industry is in the
most prosperous condition, by far, it
has been in for many years. Upon near
~ every farm throughout the great corn
growing states there is an inclination
to raise from five beef calves upward,
depending upon the number of COWS
that the farmer or breeder can purchase.
The facts of the matter are, the western
states are very short on breeding cows,
and for this reason the demand for this
class OF stock during the next few years
is likely to be strong and urgent. There
is vigorous, forward movement among
farmers and stockraisers all along the
line, for extending breeding operations
of live stock, both pure bred and stock
that is well graded. If this course is
followed for the next two or three years
we may look for much better class of
cattle for market than we find at the
present time. In view of these changed
conditions and liberal demand for this
class OF stock. we are safe in saying
that the rearing of live stock and the
feedingSSSof same is bound to become
more surely the best investment that
farmer and feeder can make. Grain
raising in all of the central and west
ern states has largely exhausted the
farmers, and now farmers are realizing
the fact that they must turn back to the
live stock industries in order to preserve
their lands. This course will be helpful
in more than one way. It diversifies
the line of farming operations, and we
think, where cattle are raised in smaller
punches, the breeding and care is bet
ter; and Of course this will bring bet
ter class of cattle to market and better
prices will result-Prairie Farmer.

COUNTRY POLICE FORCE.


New Agricultural Want Discovered
by St. Louis Paper.
All over the country we have no coun-
try police. 1t is only in the cities that
anybody stands ready to arrest male
factor. Out in the rural districts every
man has really to be his own policeman
There is, to he sure, sheriff, but the
sheriff is an officer elected without the
slightest reference to his fitness for po-
lice duty, and he, if he can be reached In
time, pursues criminals, if at all, with as
much or as little zeal as his convenience
or emperamentwill permit. The result
is crimes committed in the country, I'M
less they are murderous, are rarely pun.
ished. What we need in all country dis
tricts is what is called "country po-
lice" in England and ''gendarmerie'' in
France; that is, uniformed and salaried
police, whose business it is to patrol
country roads anu pursue criminals. In
England every village has at least one
uniformed constable and the whole are
under the orders of single county SUI
perintendent. These police are to be
met everywhere, and no burglar or
one stroke without finding them on his
track. We are persevering in MAIN
tanning in this country the same
belief in the continuance of our
early rural simplicity which in the
cities has ended in making municipal
government such farce. In the mean
time people are learning more and more
to take the law into their own hands
in sheer self-defense.-Colman's Rural
World.

Feed and Water Rcxularly.

One has no idea until he experiments
how much depends upon the regularity
with which stock is watered and fed.
Once day in winter is not enough to
water stock, and ice-cold water should
never be given. Water with the chill
off, but not sickly warm, should be
in reach of all stock at least three times
a day. Feed at a given hour each
day. Make your duties allow you
this. Find how much is needed by each
animal, and give this quantity each time.
Everything will thrive better fed thus,
than to have feed and a half to-day,
and half feed tomorrow. Weigh and
measure all things. Have some rule.
Don't guess. This is business.-M. \.
Cavendar. in Agricultural Epitomist.

HINTS FOR STOCkMEN.

To make the largest and best horses
out of your colts keep them growing
from first to last.
Horses are naturally active, and
they like freedom as much or more
than any other domestic animal.
Whether you breed full bloods,
grades or native stock, never use an
inferior animal for breeding purposes.
The actual cost of keeping added to
the service fee of the sire should give
the actual cost of the horse at maturity.
Sheep need plenty of time to drink.
If they do not go to the tank as soon
as turned out, let them stay out
awhile.-Farmers' Review.

Utilizing Incubator EgKs.

Eggs are expensive for chickens, but
when an incubator is used the clear
ones are sometimes given as food, but
usually cooked hard. This is mistake.
The best mode of feeding eggs to
chickens is to pour boiling water on the
eggs, beat them, and thicken the mess
to stiff dough with corn meal. Fed
in this manner constipation will be
avoided, bpt they should not be used
oftener than every other day, giving
them at night. Hard-boiled eggs are
excellent, but they are usually fed too
literally and cause bowel disease

Profit In Farm Implements.

A. western man is said to have in
vented a machine for gathering, head
ing and delivering sugar beets into con-
veyances. It. was devised at the sug-
gestion of the secretary of agriculture.
It gathers the beets from four rows at
once. The machine will cost to manu-
facture about $50, and will sell at $50
or $40 delivered at a distance. This item
of current agricultural news suggests
the question as to whether the relative
cost and profit on other agricultural
implements is in this proportion, that
is, selling at double or more the cost
of production.-Troy IN. W Times. =

AN EFFECTIVE TRAP.
Just the Thing for Catching Rabbits
and Other Farm Enemiea. :.

The body of the trap illustrated be-
low is made of four pieces of six inch
fencing boards 20 to p inches long,
nailed together to make a narrow box
open at one end. The top piece should
be an inch shorter than the others.
Nail the bottom and top boards to the
side boards, thus making the perpen-
dicular length of the opening greater
than the horizontal. If the opening is
square the drop door does not work
properly. A sliding door is then made
to fit loosely in the open end and two
pieces of lath are nailed against the

cent order of the department of agri-
culture, cattle originating in what is
known as the quarantine district may,
after having been properly dipped un-
der supervision of a government in
spector in a solution of flower of sui

without further restriction. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that permission must
first be obtained from the department
to establish dipping Stations and
that cattle after being dipped are to be
certified by an inspector of the bureau
OF animal industry. In accordance with
this order dipping vat has been con-

may be disposed of at good, strong
prices. Heretofore cattle in quarantine
