THE START VERY UNCERTAIN.

There have been numerous publica-
lions of late as to when the Wheeling
& Elm Grove electric line would start
up. A few days ago the time was fixed
by the reporters for to-day. Yester-
day an evening paper moved it on to
Tuesday. 1t can be authoritatively
stated that the line will not be in oper-
alton either to-day or Tuesday, and
just when it will be is uncertain. 1t
is certain, however, that it will not be
long until the electric cars are run
ming, but it would be premature to Ak
a date for the event now.

SPEED OF THE WORK TEAM.
While Some May be Faster, the Average
Speed of the Farm Horse at Work
is Two Miles an Hour.

A few evenings ago | CHANGED to
oyerhear some conversation by some
young farmers, and the subject was
pretty we'll 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 quali-
ties, and the general opinion was that
teams would walk two and one-haIf
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 a very slow horse that will not
walk more than two miles an hour,
while a 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 a farmer who is willing 10
admit that his team is slower than
that, but we will take that, and for
convenience count it ten hours a day,
rs miles-that looks rather large when
we are blowing l6.inch burrows. 1T
takes a little less than SIX miles Of
travel to pillow an acre, so you see
by the time we have reached
the tweu ty- fifth mile post there are
about four and 0ne-third acres plowed;
pretty big, isn't iL2 Well, three acres
a day, that will do them about seven
teen and eight-ninths miles win be
travelled, which would be about one
and four-tfths miles an hour.
Well, let's start out to harrow. The
harrow takes 10 feet wide, and a strip
of land that wide rs miles long would
make a tribe over Al acres, Two-thirds
that many acres would be a good days
work, and one and three-hfths miles an
hour would do it. Now, when plant
ing. Ny planter is three and one-half
feet wide, and it takes a little more
chan one and one-seventh miles Of
travel to plant an acre, and ID acres a
day is good work; a little less than
one and one-half miles an hour would
do IL. To illustrate it another way,
and see how it looks: We are most Of
us familiar with the 50-rod field In
planting l5-inch burrows it is no diff
cult matter to make four rounds an
hour, which would be $40 rods travel
an hour, and ten hours would be 6,4o0
rods, or 20 miles just two miles an
hour; working atthat rate would plow
nearly three and one-fourth acres, SO
We and that farm work is generally
done at a less speed than two miles an
hnnr-cnr MaILace Farmer.

good feet and legs, it, Is Of the utmost
Importance that these good feet and
legs hold proper relations To the body
aud with one another In other words
they do not want to toe situated too
near together nor too wide apart for
easy movement, and more than all she
rest they must not be twisted out

the toes Of both turn out badly would
have a tendency 10 produce a foal that
would have TO be booted from the day
II was foaled 10 prevent it from "euf-
ing It's ankles. tendons and knees
This one defect calls for more exc
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
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 a sea-

specific natural tendency in conform

future TO preserve the most valuable
