HEAD GEAR OF TaE HORSE.

The matter Of harness is OF no small
Importance, and this should be we'll
fitted and well made. Some people
will try to make one harness fit several
horses Of varying sizes EDd imagine
that they ere having equal success with
each, says Farmers Review. The bad
&C justrnent OF the headstall alone il a
thing that makes O horse look uncom
Portable, even if he is not really SO.
The straps must be 40 rsted so thav
the bic will fit naturally IN the mouth
and viii rest easily. II 1t is too short
it will push up the feeh in q manner
that makes the animal appear ridicu-
lous, and if too long the straps will be
segging and have an untidy look. This
is a little thing, but one that has much
10 do with the comfort Of the animal
and Of the driver.
The question Of binders was largely
disposed Of sometime ago. Their use
was begun with the idea that the horse
vas easily scared, but it is now realized
that it is better to educate the horse
than to attempt to protect him against
all possible fright. Some one has Justly
said that there is no more reason for
using binders on the carriage horse
than there is on the horse that we put
under the saddle 1t is the experience
of horsemen that if q horse is accus
toned to go without binders he will
do better and go better without them
They are really no protection even tt
a skittish horse, as the skittish horse
never shies at what he understands
They also cause discomfort and blind
ness by retaining the dust and heat. Il
a hot day even binders may keep Of
moving air to an extent that will prov
uncomfortable to the animal. 1t is til
advice Of trainers that if O horse ha
been accustomed to climbers it is no
best to leave them eff at once, but t
use faring binders for a time
: Then comes the check-rein, the
abomination that is still being used i

into disrepute. The idea that a horse

In the North Carolina car exhibit
there is displayed a glass jar filed with
mountain crenberries from 9 a Ashe-
vile, N. @. These cran6erries compare
very favorably with the best grades of
this fruit from the New Jersey bogs, or
from the West. The Cape Ccd grower
gathers his crop in September and DC
tober. There appears no reason why
the cultivation Of these highland Gran
berries should not become a profitable
industry.-Southern Field.

feeding, as we'll as breeding, has large
share In the renovation. Not only cot
ton seed but corn In immense quanti-
ties is used in feeding, and the great
Northern ranges no longer get a full
supply of cheap Texas yearlings, which
take a shorter road to market in much
shorter time.
A great impetus to extension of stock
growing is now felt in the South. Cot
ton seed. per Sc, should not be fed, but
cotton seed meal is safe and valuable,
and should be employed, not as a fad
or exclusive of other feeds combined
in g balanced ration, any more than
linseed oil cake should be made the
basis of sheep and cattle feeding,
among the fax fields of the Northwest.
The South has more acres Of corn than
of cotton. Millions Of acres Of COW

before the last blowing. Live stock
can be fed on winter oats, or other
grain or natural grasses, every day Of
the winter without shelter. No other
part of the country ear supply forage
more cheaply or handle live stock
from birth to butcher ct less cost,
whether cattle, sheep or hogs. It is a
great opportunity of the South only
beginning to be appreciated. It could
not have been awaited Of in the past;
only recently have conditions, agricul
tural, economic, and social, made it
practicable or possible. But no more
single crop ideas, or even the double
crops Of cotton and mutton, must be
adopted and worked exclusively; but
agriculture should be symmetrical,
diversified to utilize all available re-
sources of land and labor, soil and eli
mate. Then all sections will have large
production and large profit, though
the proportion of live stock to other
pr, dIction will by no means be uni
form OF equal in all.

Buttermilk, if handled properly, is
one Of the very best feeds for swine.
TIE mild Tactic acid at churning time,
or shortly after, probably improves
buttermilk as feed for pigs, for only a
little of the sugar is broken up to form
the acid, says the Southern CuItivator.
The Tactic acid in the milk renders it
palatable and seems to have a favor
able action on the digestive tract. Since
buttermilk is rich in protein, corn is a
complementary food and probably the
most economical substance to feed
with it. Shorts or middliugs are like
wise satisfactory, but hardly as eco
nomicsl. Since these two are rich in
protein, the feeder is supplying rather
too much of that coetly element for
the most economical returns. Bran is
a bulky chaf like food that is DOT eat
istacCory for young pigs. but which
may be ueed with older animals, ePpe,
cially WOere the feed is not heavy and
it ID desirable TO give volume TO the
feed. In some cases butrermilk is held
n filthy vessels at the cresmeries and
In those still worse at the farm. When
this product undergoes q putreIactive
fermentation, it should not be used
even for pig feeding.

The same want OF activity which prevailed In
July in the real estate market continued during
the last week. but ia no respect has there been
every instance where sales, have been effected
prices have been maintained. and the inquiries
for new vacant property suitable for improve
ment by the erection OF fats or apartments,
which have been multiplied within the last
fortnight, gave real estate agents much ncour-
agement with respect 10 the fall trade. There
have been no large transactions during tho
last week. either at private or auction sales.
Summer tourists are already planning for their
return. to In upper Fifth avenue and
around Murray Hill and contiguous streets
there. have been several. private residences
leased for occupancy beginning next month.
Within a month there will be. a gradual indux

the hands OF agents. The easy money market,
