Americas ". Caaadian Heesea
It seems that q well-knoWn British
horse buyer. Mr.. Dollar BY name. In
the course Of an after-dinner speech at
Toronto lately. took occasion to say.
that the Canadian horses are tougher
and better wearers than the Americans.
The latter suffer much from splints
and from lameness. and II they wear
on a few years are apt to become slug
gfsh." We wonder what would have
been the effects Of an American din
ner upon Mr.. Dollar! Possibly he
would have said that the Canadian
horses are too small as q rule and per-
haps too lively and liable to run away!
It Is news to learn that our horses have
any special liability to throw out
splints unless it be that foreign buy
ers purchase immature horses and
work them too hard upon granite pave
ments. Just recently We published the
fact that European buyers priced
American horses On account Of their
wearing qualities as compared with
their own horses. and certainly the re-
markable demand for our horses at the
Union Stock Yards. Chicago. goes to
show that they must stand the test Of
wear and tear abroad. The experience
Of the writer In the daily examination
Of country horses is that they are re-
markedly sound and free from lame
ness, but then 1t depends . good deal
through what eyes . horse IL seen. and
possibly. too. after which dinner ono

The cow-pea has been cultivated

was probably first introduced on plan
tations in South Carolina, the seeds
having been brought from India or
China. From this original introduc-
ton and from subsequent importations
its cultivation has spread to almost
every farm and plantation In the

Wasted Corn Fodder.

Each year. as the seasons come and
go. We note the major portion Of the
country's corn crop Is allowed to
stand until the cold chilly winds OF
November" have blown hundreds OF
tons Of the very best of our corn plant
away.
And yet many farmers who suffer
this practice on their farms find their
young cattle, cows and horses sorely
in need of just such feed AZ they have
willingly allowed to 60 to waste. says
W. D.. Wode In Rural World. In the
corn belt Of the Mississippi valley there
is enough corn fodder allowed to 90 to
the waste places to winter well three
times as many cattle and sheep as are
maintained within this territory. It's
true this crop cannot be properly saved
without some labor and expense, but
with the modern corn harvester. which
cuts and binds in convenient form this
valuable crop, no reasonable excuse
can be offered for allowing 1t to be
carried to the fence corners and bitches
by the fall winds. Let US note these
things In time this year.
