Cost of Training Carriage Horses.

Cost of Training Carriage Horses.
The question Is now quite frequently
asked, how much does 1t cost to train
carriage horse and get him ready for
the market? Indeed, the idea seems to
prevail in some quarters that regu-
lar, expensive course OF training Is re-
quired with the coach and carriage
horse as 1t is with the trotter, says
Farm and Home. The belief quoted is
entirely erroneous. No expensive sys-
tenn OF training is necessary, no boots,
no hopples nor other costly parapher-
MALTA. The horse must be we'll broken,
well groomed and well conditioned:
that Is all. or course the better broken
a horse is and the more accustomed to
the sights and sounds OF urban life, the
better he will sell; but even IL he new
er saw an electric car, let alone passed
under an l. road with It's trains thun-
dering over his head, he will bring
long price, providing his action and
conformation are all they should be.
Wonderful stories are going the rounds
about contrivances necessary to give
park horse the proper action. and va
rious devices, ranging In scope from
spectacles, or goggles, with greatly
magnifying lenses, to complicated
spring "contraptions" to fasten on the
forelegs and so educate the horse 10
fold his knee, but all such are hollow
mockeries. Unless the horse has the
right conformation he will never ac-
ouire the action, and If he has the
action his conformation is, as a rule,
of the kind required. There are very
high-acting horses that are not OF the
right stamp. but they are few. There
is no doubt that horse with naturally
high action MAJ be made to go higher
and more showily by proper treatment.
For instance. when first taken up he
should never be driven to the point OF
great fatigue. he should always be kept
feeling we'll and in prime condition.
Then he will delight to bound along,
pulling up his knees and hooks and
proudly showing himself on. NO
amount of fixing" will put action not
properly formed. and 1t must never be
forgotten that there is as much diner
ence in high action as there Is between
the proverbial chalk and cheese. The
horse that doubles his knees up quick
ly. and slams his feet down hard. will
not sell in the same class with the
horse whose fcrefoot is picked up and
put down as though following the cir
conference of a wheel, the pastern
springing quickly when the foot
touches, not strikes. the ground, and
10 picked up again gracefully to per-
form the circling motion once more.
The horse with the latter way of going
will outwear two or three of the 9TH
ers, and though any kind OF high ac-
ton will sell to advantage. the more
graceful sort described is the kind
that should be sought. II goes with
the conformation of shoulders, head,
neck. loin. quarters and hook that is
most desired, and is in all ways in
nnitely the most preferable. Given the

! For the murder of a woman in Null
berry street, New York, five Italians
were arrested. They had been only
q few years in this country, and the
detectives decided to look up their

at Naples. 1t turns out that one OF
them was convicted nine times, In
Italy, OF theft and blackmail; another,
sixteen times, OF assault, blackmail and
attempt at murder; two others, six and
nine times respectively, Of various
crimes; and the fifth, twenty-one times,
of assault. theft and attempt at muir

Making Butter in summer.

One of the most difficult problems In
producing first-class butter is that of
having the cream of the right tempera-
ture and at just the proper degree OF
the ripening process. says American
Cultivator. While the temperature
during ripening should be at eZ de-
grees to 6S degrees as nearly as pos
sible, or at least not above 6S degrees,
1t may be ripened more slowly al
lower temperature. usually at the ex-
pense Of some loss OF favor' and THIS
should not be done excepting in cases
of absolute necessity. No cream
should be added at less than "a hours
before churning, and each time any is
added II should be we'll stirred, that
all may be alike. When 1t is well
thickened, so that II covers the paddle
smoothly and evenly, without appear
ing to be thicker in one place than
another, 1t may be pronounced ripened
and well mixed. Now 1t should be
cooled to the churning temperature,
which may be from Sc degrees to 62
degrees. This depends In part upon
WIZ VI lhO oAA wv
churning is done. In warm room we
would prefer TO begin at Sc degrees,
knowing that 1t would rise rapidly
enough, while In a cool room we should
prefer to begin at 60 degrees. Some
thing also depends upon the food the
cows are having, and upon the time
they have been In milk. When the

| 1t Is said that one butter maker who
| gets or did get fancy prices for his
butter, was so cautious in this respect
that until he was we'll assured of the
purity of his water by analysis, he
would boil 1t to sterilize it before
washing butter with 1t. The water in
summer should be colder than the
temperature of ordinary wells, or at
from 40 to 45 degrees, while in winter
1t may be at 80 degrees, or even higher.
In this no exact directions can be CIV
en-. but on opening the churn one
should be guided by judgment and ex-
perience upon seeing how firm and
solid the butter may be. II should be
washed in two or three waters, or
until 1t runs clear from buttermilk.
Some would add salt to the water used
In washing, as It not only helps to wash
out the milk better, but adds to the
firmness OF the granules. If the tenn
perature is right or can be made 50
by the washing, we would work over
and salt at once, and never work but
once. AS much butter is injured by
overworking as by not getting the
milk all out of it.

Plugs or Good Horses.-This Is what
IS said by a dealer who has had many
years of experience at one of the
greatest horse markets Of the country:
Never in the history of horse raising
was there a wider difference between
plugs and good horses. Farmers must
give as much thought to the selection
of both dam and sire as they do to the
breeding OF cattle and other live stock.
A coach horse that will bring $500 is
as easily raised as a plug that will
bring but s45. Such horse Is useful
on the farm until the time when he
is ready for the market. and can be
used both TO the pillow and on the wag-
on. In case he lacks the style or ac-
ton necessary to bring fancy price,
he is still general purpose horse and
will bring price that will be profit
able to the raiser. "-Ex.

Two for one.-It is not good econ
omy to give two pounds of cheese tor
one. 1t is not good business to depress
prices by reducing quality. 1t is not
good sense TO insist on forms that are
not popular, or to refuse to adopt
those that suit the public taste and
command the highest prices. We sell
less domestic cheese and buy more
foreign makes year by year. 1t is time
TO reverse the operation.

Some one set fire to the floor near
the dressing rooms in the Opera House
on Saturday night and burned a great
hole through the floor and rafters
under it. The fact has been kept
rather quiet until the the circumstan-
ces could be Investigated thoroughly.
Some private detective work has
been done by some of the young men
about town and they fastened suspi-
cion on another young fellow and may
conclude to press the matter in the
courts.
The hole burned is about two feet
square and goes clear through the
floor. 1t was evidently started from
above and a can of gasoline which was
near was utilized in starting it,.

and turned it on putting the blaze

used is quite plain.
Entrance was secured through the
window which was left down some
distance after the fellow got out.
Tracks on the window sill and the
further fact that some one saw man
go in through the window are enough
to show how he got in.
The motive for the crime is hard to
discover. 1t would have been very
serious thing if the fire had gotten a
good foot hold. The resultant loss
would likely have been the greatest
that the town had ever seen.

DR.. /. c.. White head of the geo

University and Director Stewart OF
the Experiment Station have gone
to Charleston where they will attend
meeting of the State geological sur
vey of which they are members.
The meeting will be an important
one and they will get things in shape
for presentation to the next session
of the legislature. They will show
what they have done and ask that
that body encourage them properly
by an adequate appropriation.
They have done many things of
value, to the state since their crea-
tion as a survey and will do many
more if they are taken care of as
they should.
Few people realize what they
have done or what they can do if
they are given fair show. 1t is
stated that one discovery which has
been made by the New York board
for that state has more than paid for
the labors of the commission since
its establishment several years ago
and leave enough to pay all expenses
for years to come.
In this state there are so many
things to be brought out by prop

lions to the people of the State.
This being the case they should do
all that they can to help the matter
out and see that the commission
is not crippled for the want of funds
which we are able to give them
The men as the head of the work
are recognized as the very best men
who can be placed where they are
and no effort should be spared to
make them as efficient as possible.
This fact is recognized by the legis-

for the commission.
