There is a saying that out Of 100

per cent will prove perfectly free from
some defect and the remaining five will
be found the worst animals in the whole

At the same time a perfectly sound
horse at all points is singularly rare,
especially IL we include vice and per-
nicious habits as rendering horse un-
sound. The ordinary definition of un-
BOundness is "the existence Of disease
or alteration Of structure which does or
will impair the horse's natural useful

and alterations Of structure which do
not interfere with horses usefulness
for the practical work he is required to
perform. II the horse is workably

be condemned by the intending pur-

SPRING CHICKENS.
Poultry Men Must Keep Up with Mod

Our modern methods Of living are
changing our farming in many particu-

early spring lamb and chickens in Feb
ruary and March. Fine, tender brOilerB

Eaisers TO prepare the feast for those
who can afford to pay for it, Early
spring chickens have to be raised in the
winter season, and to do this requires
certain expert knowledge that is the
price Of success.
Spring chickens at so cents q pound

ing spring chickens and winter eggs
than in any other branch Of this busi.
ness. Those who stick TO the beaten
tracks are the ones who never make
great deal out Of their enterprise. But
every one will not succeed in raising
spring chickens, and it is we'll that this
is so, for otherwise the business would
soon be overdone. It takes shrewd busi-
ness tact, exact knowledge and careful
application Of that knowledge to make
the work profitable.
In the first place, one must have q
warm house suitable for the chickens
II does not take a large one to accom-
modate 100 chickens, but it must bs

The house should be located 80 that it

eggs and those that show an inclination
to neglect the eggs should be discarded.
The sitters must be fed separately when
off the nest NO they will not be bothered
and worried by the others.
The sitting house should be darker
than the main room, and the nests
should be arranged in rows. Each hen
will learn to know her own nest. Wa

Feed Fowls slowly.

One Of the difficulties in winter feed.
ing is that grain is given in a mass,
perhaps because the feeder does net care
to stand around in the cold, while the
fowls are equally in hurry 20 fill them

roost and cover their chilled feet with
their feathers. No matter how cold the
weather may be, fowls on the roost al.
ways Contrive to keep their feet warm
if they get food enough to furnish the
internal heat The natural way for a
fowl to take its food is a morsel or a
grain at a time and to get that by
scratching for it, This will prevent the
food from going in mass into the crop,
and the exercise will keep the fowls
feet warm even in the ooIdest weather.
This is much better than allowing the
fowl to fill itself to repletion aud then
remain without exercise for hours upon
