FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The best manure for permanent pas
lures is top dressing of ground bone.
From 1900 to 1900 pounds an acre will
show permanent effect for seven or
eight years following.
A good way to reduce bones for fer
tilizing purposes is to break them into
fragments and place in layers in a
heap of fermenting manure-fresh ma
nure from the stables, for example.
Never use the land roller when the
ground is wamp enough to become i'm
pacted, is good advice, but to the grain
grower be sure. to use it when the
ground is in proper condition, is equally
good.
Painstaking French farmers not in
frequently select the finest heads of
grain, from which they raise what may
be called motler~plants, as sources of
future seed. Generally the heaviest
heads are laid aside for the purpose.
In trip over the country one will

THE SONG OF THE PIG,

The horse secures the warmest stall-he
gets bed of straw,
And every dainty bit of grain goes straight
into his nav;
! It's oats and hay for Dobbin, and a no,
bran mash for Grey,
But let the piggy live on swill, and what
they throw away.
The COW is called the butter queen; she's
carded every day,
The pig must go and card himself, or else
uncarded stay.
The silo's fragrant mess is heaped up to
the hangers rim,
The moldy part is piggy's share-that's
good enough for him!
Work horse, driving horse COW and sheen
and hen;
Eggs and butter, wool and work, every
one with pull,
Cream yours, culls are mine, brag away,
but then,
I'm the chap that pays the rent, and
keeps the barrel full.
The farmer always takes his friends to see
the shining cot;
They linger at the latest tool and tighten
every bolt.
They always grease the buggy wheel to
tighten Dobbins task,
But mighty seldom do I get the simple
things I ask
I furnish meat to feed the farm. and vet
ungrateful men
TO eat piece of custard pie will go and
court the hen.
Deal gently with the good old cow-her
feelings might be hurt,
But jump on piggy's feelings, for they're
only made of dirt
work horse, driving horse, COW and sheep
and hen,
xou have got the softest job ever, ever
knew;
Cream yours, culls are mine, brag away,
but then,
1 will keep the barrel full and helm the
farmer through.

DRAFT HORSE POINTS
Every Feature Of the Animal Should
Indicate Kindliness, Intelligence
and Strength.

Size is an important item in the
draft horse, provided, of course,
that his disposition is. such that his
size and strength can be used to ad-
vantage.
The 1900 or 1,3oo-pound horse can
not draw the load that the 1,soO-pound
horse can, SO that the buyer of a good
| draft team usually wants them as
large as possible, provided they are
as good as they are big.
While there will always be consid-
erable difference of opinion among
buyers on minor points, in general the
main points will be similar.
The neck should be deep, but not
too thick above, and should appear to
| be a part of the animal rather than
stuck on. The head, neck, ears, and.
indeed, the whole horse, should indi.
cate kindliness, intelligence, energy
| and vigor.
The shoulder must be strong and
| muscular, and should stand at nearly
right angles, as he will thus get hold
of his load better. In a coach or car
riage horse sloping shoulder is de-
sirable, but not so in a heavy draft
horse. While the leg should be clean
below, it should be well muscled above,
with strong, well-defned tendons, es-
pecially behind, and gracefully thick
ening and widening up the arm and
thigh, until their outlines are lost in
a symmetrical arch at their connection
with the body. Such formation sets
the legs under the horse, rather than
stuck on his sides and ends like the
legs Of trestle. A horse may get
al,ng if he is a little loose in front
but any weakness behind units him
for draft purposes. An open gait be-
hind is often desirable in trotter, but
a draft horse must travel with his legs
under him, rather than spraddled.
The hind legs are the fulcrum upon
which the power and the load must
rest in heavy draft horses. and it is i'm.
portant that they be in the best posi-.
tion of correct formation. A deep
well-sprung rib makes room for large
healthy vital organs. A large, sound
middle, with full flank, denotes good
feeding qualities, while being well
ribbed denotes an easy keeper. A
short, strong back and long, heavy
muscular quarters are elements OF
strength as well as of beauty.-St
Louis Republic.

CELESTIAL CHAFF.
Smart MOngOlian to an Amer
lean SchOOlmate.

The young daughter of former Philadel-
phian is a schoolmate of little WI, the
son of the Chinese ambassador at Washing.
ton. During a recent visit here she often
talked about the little celestial, and told
tales about him that seemed to indicate that
little WI at times gently guys his Christian
schoolmates. He is awfully cute" she
said, "and speaks very correct English.
He's just my age, yet he's ahead Of me.
What he likes best to eat, he says, is milhi.
That is young mice, dipped in honey and
swallowed raw. A horrible thing, isn't it
But WI says that milhi aren't half so
squashy and Shiny as raw oysters. His
mothers feet are 50 tiny that she can hard
ly walk at all. She is pushed about in a
wheeled chair. I asked WI once if he didn't
think it was cruel to torture the Chinese
ladies' feet like that. He said: Virginia,
my papa says that whenever any person asks
me that question I must make the follow
ing reply: 1T is not more cruel than for
American ladies to torture their waists in
steel corsets until their noses are beet red
and their shapes like an hour glass;" Then
he gave a. loud laugh and walked away with
his little hands in the pockets of his baggy
brocade trousers. He looks awfully grave
and funny. y.'-Philadelphi Press.

Two Sides of Sheep Raising.


Sheep raising affords profit aside
from the wool produced. But many
farmers seem totally blind to this fact.
They do not seem to consider that the
sheep is mutton producer as well as
wool producer, and that mutton has a
good cash value. Time will come when
there will be growers for both mutton
and wool, each specializing. This is
true to-day to some extent. There are
special wool and distinct mutton types,
though a good many sheep raisers seek
breed combining both qualities. How
ever, either type is valuable for more
than its one special product-wool or
mutton, and in order to secure the larg-
estprofit from sheep breeding attention
should be given the mutton considera-
tions.-Farmers' Voice.

How Long to Keep a Cow,


So long as the dairy cows prove by
their works that they are entitled to
the feed given them, SO long as they
keep balance on the right side of the
ledger, it is unwise to discard them. A
paying cow is better than one that in
time may be paying member of the
dairy herd. What the dairyman wants
is COW that he knows is paying him.
Many cows at the age of IL or over
are good payers, while others in their
prime are nonpayers. When once the
animals capacity has accurately been
ascertained, and it is known that she
is profitable cow, she should be re-
tanned in the herd, and just as long as
she maintains her record.-Farmers'
Voice. .... ..s.. sG

Best Poultry Dust Bath.

During the summer season the best
mode of providing q dust bath is to
dig out a space in the poultry-yard,
three feet square and about six or eight
inches deep. When the dirt is dry, sift
it back into the place from which it
was taken, and when so doing, sprinkle
q little carbolic acid over it to give it
the characteristic odor. After each
rain, stir the dirt and make it fine, but
it need not again be sifted. The hens
will resort to it, and rid themselves of
lice. # tn. poultry house is kept clean,
