practice OF rising in the stirrups, by
which the trot can be performed with
the greatest ease to. the horse and the
rider, says a writer in the Book of
the Horse. Never begin to trot until
you are quite at home In the walk.

reins, without being too light-mouth-
ed. There are exceptional horses with
so smooth and even a pace that it is
not necessary to rise in their trot. or

mental and military practice is not to
rise in the stirrups, but to try to sit

Proper Feeding.

An Eastern poultry raiser says:
Leghorns will by nature take a great
deal of exercise If not confined in too
close quarters. They should have
something always in the GOODS to
pick at or scratch for. Brahmas and
Plymouth Rocks, on the other hand,
IT given full meal say in the morn
ing, will sit around and NOPE in the
sun with no intention of laying an
egg. It Is best to give them just suf-
hcient to arrest the cravings of hun
ger and make them scratch and ex-
ercise for the rest Of their breakfast.
Exercise means eggs; therefore, any
thing which will serve to keep your
hens moving during confinement will
promote laying. It is hens nature
to be busy from early morning until
shutdown. She hunts the fields dill
gently all day, gradually filing her
crop until at roosting time her crop
is full and she passes comfortable
night. II you 60 contrary to nature
and fill hens crop before ten o'clock
in the morning, you simply induce a
fit of indigestion, to which all yarded
and cooped fowls are more or less SUBJ
ject, and this is the forerunner Of al
most all the diseases to which fowls
are heir. sa. ~ = ~ - + n

Ovsrproduotion 81 ronIery.

Overproduction Of poultry and esys
is . possibility, but that such has Sc
any time occurred Is doubtful, says the.
Poultry Keeper. The fear that the:
market may be overstocked has de-
tered some from venturing largely IN
poultry, but such fears have never
been realized. It IL not unusual to-
find the market full at all times, not
only OF poultry and eggs. but Of al
kinds OF produce: though there is 9
great difference in quality. It has been
said OF butter that there was no inter
mediate kind. as butter was either good
or bad. II not Of the best quality, It
was Of no value: and II but little in
ferior to the best, there was no place
Tor It whatever. Such may be said OF
eggs also, and it may be extended to
poultry. Quality regulates the prices.
A difference OF only one cent pound
on poultry or dozen eggs seems in
significant, but when large business
Is conducted the difference is great.
AS long as there are several prices for
the products the market is overstocked
with the lowest priced articles only.
The best will be in demand, and will
sell for all that it Is worth: but tho
term best" means great deal, for it
includes everything pertaining to gu
periority. There is large field open
for those who aim to supply the mar
ket with the best; and every season
they will find that they have room
Tor Improvement in order to excel.
There is also much to learn in order
to know how to provide the market
with the best, and the market will &C.
cept it readily at all times and with
out regard to the quantity of inferior
grades that may have been offered for
sale. There is something more to look
after than feeding and caring for the
fowls. To produce the best, the hens
must be of the best. This demands the
use OF the best breeds. No farmer can
afford to raise chickens for market
from the common stock, for the reason
that no system OF feeding will enable
the inferior birds to equal their supe-
riors. With the breeds for the pur-
pose the market can be supplied with
something choice, and there will be
little or no competition. Overproduc-
ton Of the best is a result not yet
attained. It is anticipated by many,
and as long as the farmers will not
improve their focks, the market will
always demand more.

Mating for Size.

Mr.. e. Cobb, in the Feathered World
of July 20, makes the following re-
marks on mating for size and shape:
"The male bird undoubtedly exer-
cises certain amount of influence in
regard to the size and shape of the
offspring; but to attempt to remedy
as so many amateurs do-the defic-
iency of size in their stock by the pur-
chase OF an extra large cock, is the
wrong way to go to work. The hen
has far more influence over both the
size and shape Of the progeny than
the male has. Take broad shoulder
ed, deep chested cock and mate with
narrow shouldered hens, deficient also
in breast, and the result of such a
union will be but little, if any, inn
provement. Had, however, the tables
been turned, and the hens possessed
the size instead of the cock, far great
er Improvement would appear in the
offspring: but, as we before remarked,
the male bird does exercise a certain
influence. It will be found that by
breeding from large hens and cock
deficient in this respect the pull
let's produced show a far greater i'm,
provement than is observable in the
cockerels, and it is only by continuing
the process Of breeding from large
hens that the coekerels will far out
distance the original cock. There is
no question but what the best plan
is to have size and shape on both
sides; but if deficiency must occur
on one side or the other, do not let
it be on that Of the hens"
The above is truth undefled. We
regret that common practice among
amateur fanciers is a tendency to
breed from overgrown and abnormal
ly large males. Many fine cockerel.
because he happens to be understood.
albeit correct in shape, is cast aside,
and some big, coarse brute, because Of

advice should be carefully considered
and followed.-American Fancier.

Liquid Food and the Milk Yield.

According to the British Dairy
Farmer, M. Dancel, principal of one
Of the dairy schools In France, reports
his experiments to determine the ef-
feet of the quantity Of water COWS
drink upon quantity and quality OF
milk. He says that, by inducing COWS
to drink more water, the quantity of
milk yielded can be increased without
tnjuring its quality. He asserts that
the amount of milk is proportional to
the quantity Of the water drunk. In
experimenting upon COWS fed in the
stall with dry fodder that gave only
9to IL quarts Of milk day, when this
dry food was moistened with from IS
to % quarts Of water daily, their yield
of milk was Increased up to IL to IA
quarts a day. Besides this water taken
with the food, the COWS were allowed
to drink the same as before, and their
thirst was excited by adding a little
salt to the fodder. The milk was of
good quality, and the amount of butter
satisfactory. He found, by series of
observations, that the quantity of wa
ter habitually drunk by each COW was
a criterion to judge of the quantity of
milk that she would yield. A COW that
does not drink as much as ~ quarts
of water a day is poor mixer, giving
only 51z to Z quarts a day; but all
cows which drink as much al 80
quarts of water daily gave from Is to
% quarts of milk daily. He believes
the amount Of water drunk by a COW
is test of her value as a mixer.
