PLAIN HORSE talk.

Every boy and girl should learn to
ride horse gracefully and well.
The record Of endurance made by the
saddle bred horses during the last cam
paign is of the greatest interest.
There is an increased interest in sad
die horse breeding. and we hope soon
to see fewer misfits under the saddle.
A big rolling door made of Turing
strips and mosquito net does not cost
much. and is great preserver of horse
flesh.
Too much care cannot be taken Of
the feet. 1t is much easier to keep the
feet sound than to cure them after they
have become injured by neglect or care
lessness. a.
Do not let the hot weather come and
find your stables badly ventilated.
Horses cannot be kept healthy and in
the best condition If their quarters are
close and full of foul odors.
Ifyour horses feet have become hard,
soak them in water or apply poultice Of

Keep Young Hog. Growing.

There is an impression among farm
ers that hogs in summer at pasture can
get enough with the swill from the
house and what they can get in the
fields. This was all right so long as
slximmilk, one of the best foods for
growth, was part of the swill, and un-
eaten refuse from the table was also
thrown in. But in many places the
skinned milk is now sold in some
form, while better use for table refuse
is found in giving it to the poultry. So
the pig is starved in summer, which is
the time he ought to grow the fastest,
and is the poorest preparation for the
heavy corn feeding that will begin in
September and continue until the pig
is turned over to the butcher. A half
starved animal loses the power of di-
costing hearty food, for the stomach,
like every other organ of the body,
needs to have something to do to keep
in good health and straightforward

Food Of the Brood slare.

The mare with foal should have
plenty of nutritious food, but it should
not be the kind that promotes the ac-
emulation of fat. The foal is devel-
oped through the feed to the dam, and
for thatdevelopmenti is needed the class
of feeding stuff that builds up it's
frame. Aside from that it is not well
for the foal for the mare to have much
fat, as there is with such condition
often q certain tendency to feverish
state which would prevent the foal.
from receiving healthy support. Let.
the feed contain but little corn. con-
sisting mostly of oats, bran and good
roughage. just before the time of foai-
ing the feed should have a somewhat
laxative effect, and at the same time
should have the constituents that pro-
mote milk production.-Texas Stock

SHEEP EATING WEEDS
HAsy A. rae nsssss ssaxs.gess -
the 0echasa IN early Summer
3haa the Hogs.

) The American Sheep Breeder points
out the fact that many plantsgusnally
chased ns weeds ara IN pastures often
eaten by sheep. either to girelyariety to
their diet or for the tonic effect on their
systems. It mentions the common dan
delion. parsley. yarrow, and even thor
oughwort, as desirable for this ute. In
England sheep growers purposely sew
yarrow when laying down pastures for
sheep, and also the narrow-leafed PLAN
tain. Most of these are somewhat Bit
ter to the taste. and the liking for what
is bitter seems to be a popularity of the
sheep. which often leads it to eatleaves
that IRE poisonous rather than medic
inal. 1t is possible that all these plants
have medicinal qualities, but the sheep
does not know enough to doctor itself
with them, rs sheep are often poisoned
by eating leaves of laurel when allowed
to run where that poisonous plant
grows. We have known sheep to be poi-
soned when an overdose of cherry leaves
was probably the cause. The leaves of
the cherry, peach, almond, and of the
common oleander all contain prussic
acid. and all are poisonous when eaten
in any quantity. s e.
1t is chiefly, we think, when pastures
are dried up, and the sleeps appetitea
are clamorous for some green thing,
that these fresh leaves are most attrac-
tive to them. Yet we hate to leave even
dried leaves of the cherry, almond or
peach where sheep could eat all they
liked of them. The craving for some.
thing bitter probably explains why
sheep will eat the tender shoots OF
nearly all deciduous trees. which are
almost invariably bitter to the palate
With regard to anything uncleanly as
regards animal excrement or blood, the
taste of the sheep is more refined and
sensitive than that of any other farm
animal. But it PROFESSIONALLY does
have q liking for what is bitter to the
taste, and will eat the small, wormy
apples that hog will turn up his nose
at, while the hog will pick its favorite
food among filth that no sheep could
be brought near enough to touch. In
the early summer, when the small, bit
ter. wormy apples are falling. the sheer
is. therefore, much better scavengel
in the orchard than is the hog.

MODEL PIG HOUSE.

r. - = s #
sary that different aged animals be
fed different ration for best and most
satisfactory results, and this can only
be done when we have our hogs prop
erly graded and separated. One thing
we would have in making hog house
and that is concrete floor. Any other
floor is Objectionable in some way. All
kinds of wooden floors make bad rat
harbors unless they are built up high
off the ground, and in most cases they
soon begin to decay and make pens un-
healthy. By letting the concrete extend
out to the walls all round no rats can do
any damage and you can scrape or
wash out your house as clean as a jug
at any time. The cost of concrete
floor may be a little more than wood
to start with, but it is cheapest in the
end.
Let the sleeping rooms be made like
a lean-to, roof sloping just one way
and facing the south if possible. In
these we would have no floor. They
can be moved about the yard from time
to time and thus keep nice pure
place for pigs to sleep. every time 1t
is moved using clean bedding, or rather
moving every time clean bedding is
used. Water is best supplied out in
the lots instead of in the feed room,
as hogs will keep the feed room more
or less filthy If water is supplied there.
especially if they can get to it to wal
low. A small cistern or we'll is located
in storage room from which under
ground pipes may extend to the sew
eral lots. In making fences between
lots do not make them more than three
or four boards high, just SO man can
straddle over them comfortably. This
you will find very convenient in look
ing after your hogs. The outside fence
may be higher if other stock have ac-
cess to pens and are likely to jump.
Two andfa half feet is high enough for
all inside fences. - Orange Judd
