THE HORSE BUSINESS.
the Selection of the breeding

The reports that come from those

show that the farmers of this country
are about to begin breeding horses
again. 1t is to be hoped that they will
exercise due care in selection of their
breeding stock. 1t is sometimes better
TO miss raising colt than to breed a
mare with some serious defect that may
be transmitted to her progeny. Good,
blocky mares, bred to stylish coach
stations, will make a cross that will
produce very desirable kind of an
animal. So also heavy mares bred 10
strictly good Percheron stations will
produce draft animal of great endur.
ance and that will bring high price.
The average farmer should not bother

bred stock. Unless the progeny is en-
ceptionalIy good it will sell at low
price. This class has only speed to de-
termine the price, while Cleveland bays,
coachers and the heavy draft classes are
always in demand.-Farmers Voice.

How to Cnre for Sheer,

1t is not a good plan to begin sheep
breeding on the assumption that be-
cause sheep are good scavergers they
may be profltably used for this purpose
alone and kept on the farm for nothing.
Sheep like weeds and keep them in sub
lection, but unfortunately weeds are
not the best and most nutritious feed
that may be given to the sheep. If you
begin keeping sheep do it because you
want to make money out of them by
giving them good care. They will pay
you then better than any other live
stock you can invest in and you need
not worry about stampedes, low fences
and other things that cattlemen worry
about.--Dakota Field and Farm.

ENRICHES THE SOIL.
science Has Demonstrated beyond u
Doubt That Alfalfa Rcjuvenatcs
Wornout Land.

There is another remarkable charac-
teristic of alfalfa that none of its rivals
possesses-that is, the power to enrich
chemically exhausted land. Along its
tangled roots close examination shows
masses of what are known to be tuber-
cles. In other words, every root of al
falfa is afflicted with tuberculosis. In
habiting these tubercles are myriads
OF bacteria. 1t is Il general belief that
bacteria are harmful to the human race.
Some kinds are; but science is author
ity for the statement that bacteria are
not always dangerous, Prof, G. l.,
Clothier, of the state agricultural col
lege in Kansas, says, in discussing the
bacteria on alfalfa and similar plants
Many species are very beneficial to the
world. Among them are the bacteria
inhabiting the tubercles on the roots of
leguminous plants.
remember that one of the assistants
in this department of that college held
up to me with great show of pride q
culture of some sort showing what he
said was a marvellous growth of bac-
terra in tubercles. He was absolutely
fond of those tubercles. My thought
was one of great surprise until he in
formed me that one of the best things
for the rehabilitation of exhausted
soils was to grow some sort of plants
on whose roots tubercles such as those
would thrive. Alfalfa is one of these
plants. Its long roots have n double
part to play in this renovation of ma
ture. The millions upon millions of
bacteria draw large quantities of nj
trogen from the air and store it up in
the tuberces for use when the plant
needs Il, Scientific experiment has
shown this to be absolutely true. Then
the roots go on an excursion for Ger.
tain chemicals on their own hook They
go down ten, fifteen or twenty feet and
bring up the potash and phosphoric
acid that are needed for such a plant
and its tubercles.
Now, when these roots decay or are
pioWed underground, they not only re-
lease the great quantities of chemicals
that have been stored up, but they leave
millions upon millions of little open
ings in the earth. into which fresh air
and moisture find their way, and thus
fertility of soil is renewed. In other
words, the land renews its youth and
rigor by means of plant which drags
down into its roots certain chemicals
from the AIR and pulls up into its roots
certain other chemicals from the deep
soil that could not be reached in any
other way. 1t has been said that alfalfa
lives more in the air than on the soil.
1T has been proved beyond shadow
Of doubt that alfalfa does renew the
youth of the soil. Phenomenal yields
of wheat and other cereals have fol.
lowed the blowing under of fields of al
falfa, and these yields have continued
year after yenr.-Harper's Weekly.

CHANCES FOR MARRIAGE.
comprehensive Table Prepared for
the Information of Spinsters
and Widows.

A benevolent writer with n weakness
for statistics has published the result
OF studious investigation in registry Of
fees and other records of woman's
chance of marriage. The term woman
is elastic, She may be a maiden from
10 to Is or u widow from 81 to so and,
according TO these cheerful statistics,
still stand n chance CT drawing mat
rimonial prize. The best time for n
splnsteT to marry-or, at least, the time
when she has the greatest number of
pportunities-is the period betwee n
her twenty-ffth and twenty-ninth
years. One out Of eight spinsters mar
ries at this age. Next best to this is the
period between 20 and "a, when one in
10 marries; then comes from 30 to "a,
when one in 90 marries. Between the
ages of IS and 80 statistics show only
one marriage in 2s. After 40 the chances
are not encouraging, although more
women between the ages of 40 and 50
marry than do girls between the ages
of Is and 10, one in 70 being the poor
showing for the bread-and- butter
misses.
But these facts are not the only ones
OF interest to minated women that
statistics show. For instance so that
no time may be lost by the husband
hunting maid, the statistician points
out that it is folly for a woman to waste
her energy trying to entrap a man of
some ages, whereas If she directed her
attention to another sort of man she
might find a conquest ready to her
hand. AS an illustration OF this a
bachelor of from 2j to 80 is worth tc
awoman-as a marrying man-jO young
bachelors OF frcm Is to 10, for the
chance of the older man marrying with
in one year is so times as great as the
chance of one of the younger men.
Then, a more common instance, bach
elor of from 2j to 30 is worth three
times as much TO any woman-as a
marrying man-as bachelor from IS
TO -.
1t is encouraging to learn that the ex-
cess of spinsters is only rs to every
1000 bachelors But to offset this is
the disquieting fact that there are 23O
widows TO every 100 widowers, which,
the statistician admits, docs tend to
work against the interest of spinsters
who wish to marry" The spinster of
from 10 to "a is more apt to marry a
bachelor than widower; at ages "a
to Al her chance of bachelors is still
better than with widowers, but after
10 she has to take a widower or re-
main single, and even then her offers
are not MS numerous as those of the
widow. The best time for widow who
wishes TO wed a bachelor is from Is to
"a; after "a she has a better chance
to marry widower. The chances of
spinsters over 30 carrying are very slim
compared with those of widows of the
same age. For instance, between the
ages of 81 and A 81 spinsters marry,
while 50 widows marry. The difference
here is hardly noticeable, but it in
crcases with every year. Between the
ages of As and So there are rs widows
and % spinsters married; between s.
and IS 30 widows marry and only rs
spinsters wed.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
