Lighter Horses Better.

Farmers who have watched the ease
with which the large draft horses han
die heavy loads on good roads or city
pavements have been led to think that
a heavy horse must be the better AMI
NAL in all cases, and we see many
farm teams that are far inferior In the
amount of work they can do in ploWlng
or in drawing a load upon soft ground
than q much lighter team would do cas-
ily. Then the heavy horses are driven
over our hilly roads often at q rate or
speed that causes them to pound the
earth so that the legs give out, ana
they are quickly lame. 1t certainly re-
ouires more food to sustain a 1,6OO
mound horse than one weighing from
1000 to 1,2O0 pounds, and when not
constantly employed drawing heavy
loads the amount of work done by the
heavy horses does not compensate TOT
the extra cost of maintaining them. AS
farmers will have next spring to buy
horses or many will we advise them 10
turn their attention to the smaller
horses from Canada If they can be
found rather than to the Percherons
and Shire horses that have been so pop
ular lately They will cost less prices
cost less to keep, do about as much
work and endure much longer.-Ameri-

While Mr. Tesla may or may not be
able to communicate with the Mar

and best general fertilizer, and no land
can be brought into high state of fer
tility without it. 1t would pay to keep
a few cows on every farm even though
no profit resulted from the sale OF mix
and butter. Crops grown on land to
which barnyard manure has been ap-
piled suffer much less during dry sea
son from a lack of moisture than would
otherwise be the case.
Cotton growing is essentially one
crop system in which the fertility or
the soil is lessened each year. The ad-
vantages of cotton growing lie in the
fact that the crop can be easily raised
and it can always be sold at some price.
At the prices which prevailed during
the past eight years, the majority or
the cotton growers of Georgia have
not made their living expenses. With
the increased cotton acreage of foreign
countries. especially Egypt, the future
price Of cotton is quite apt to be as low
as at any time in the past. The price
will doubtless vary from year to year,
as heretofore, depending upon the
worlds visible supply, but it Is safe
to say that the average price for any
series of years will be cents per
pound or less.
Dairying, on the other hand, Is the
foundation of diversified farming, sys-
tenn wherein the farmer is not depend
ent upon any one crop for his living
There is always market for good but
ter, and, where the dairy farmer grows
the feed for his cattle, the butter will
not cost one half what it can be sold
for The butter also brings a cash
price and at all times of the year. This
enables the dairy farmer to pay cash
for his supplies and he is enabled
to get them cheaper than otherwise.
But, most important Of all, the dairy
farmer is constantly enriching his land,
and as the fertility of the soil increases
from year to year, more crops. better
crops, and cheap crops are produced.
This leads to the use OF improved farm
tools and better farm buildings.

names here. Our folks will not stand
for that many passes in one day, you
know. You'd better cut it in half"
"All right, colonel" cheerily re-
sponded the senator. "Cut it down
then"
The list was handed to a clerk with
instructions to pare the list down by
half, and give the senator passes for
the remainder. The senator eyed the
clerk as he took the big blue pencil and
began chopping out the names here and
there.
Hold on bit" shouted the senator.

Gil or | won't be able to make out the
names you have scratched out"
"What difference does that make,
senator" innocently queried the clerk,

"Why, 1 want that list back, and to-
morrow I'll come in and get the passes
for those you don't issue them to to-
day. See?"-New York Times.

Is more common than we may think, II
we define gluttonv as eating beyond the
bodv's need OF suStenauce aud beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That Is fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact of this
gluttorA is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
lion is "weak " stomach. The "weak
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the WEAK

why She Was Late.

An intimate friend of a well known
society young woman who was recent
ly married undertook to honor the
bride when she returned from an eX-
tended wedding tour by holding n re-
ception for her. says the Chicago
Democrat. All of the brides associates
in the circle were summoned to the
house of her friend on certain day.
Every preparation that money could
make in a wealthy household for such
an event was carried out, and o'clock
was set as the hour for an elaborate
dinner. The guests arrived promptly
and were soon enjoying themselves in
discussing the happy prospects of the
bride and examining her numerous
wedding gifts. which had been trans
ported to the house for exhibition pur-
poses.
When the hour for the dinner arrived
the hostess was much worried TO find
lhat the bride was not present, and
a. yet no message explained her abb
Scnce. Thinking that nothing serious,
but something unforeseen, had delay
table at the appointed hour, as the
feast could not well wait When the
courses were about half finished, a mes
sage came by telephone that the bride
had tainted. but was recovering rap
idly and no doubt would soon be able
to be with her friends.
AS the guests were leaving the din

house and the bride alighted, present
ing an appearance that surprised her
old acquaintances. Instead of the neat
and trim figure she had always pre-
sented and the smiles with which she

WiNTERlNG BROOD SOWS.
Two Kinds of Treatment and the
Varying Results.

Varying Results.
In too many cases the bleak, dreary
months do not bring the brood sow the
comfort she should have in proportion
to what is expected of her, says John
NJ. Jamison in The National Stockman.
First she is thin in flesh, her ribs easily
counted, and the owner does not have
to run his hand along her back to find
the joints of the vcrtebra; they are
easily seen.
She has wet, cold, damp nest. The
only time it is dry is when the weather
is cold and dry and the wind driving.
She shivers every raw day, whether
very cold or not. When cold, she
shakes She would keep warm often
roofing. bCt her owner will not allow
this, and she carries rings in her nose
that she is not heathenish enough to
regard as jewels.
About all she gets to eat oftentimes
Is ear corn and not too much of that,
because her owner fears she will get
too fat to do well with her pigs. Some.
times she has only a dry lot for range,
with the fence posts and wire for shell
ter.
From all these opportunities she is
expected to bring a good litter of pigs
If she does not, wall goes up from
her owner that his SOW or sows did not
do well, then ate their pigs or else
starved them to death because they did
not seem to have any milk. Have we
overdrawn the stery? For some we
have, for many others we have not.
The unfortunate conditions that Of
ten surround the brood sow in winter
may be charged to three causeS-igno-
rance, which Is inexcusable; laziness,
which is criminal and stinginess,
which is contemplate. When all these
causes are found on one farm, winter
for the brood SOW is awful tough.
When a SOW is wintered under any or
all these conditions, the owner has nc
reason to complain If she does no good.
In fact, it will be a wonder If she does
not fail.
There is another class Of brood Sows
that find winter more enjoyable. They
have some of the comforts they should
have to meet the expectations Of the
owner. They have comfortable nests
and are nationally fed and are not ex-
pected to grow pigs from corn alone,
but have other foods that have more OF
the properties Of bone and muscle In
them, that strengthen their own frames
and 90 to build up strong frames In the
young they are to produce. The food
In winter should be as near like she
gets in summer as is possible to make
1t. Yet but few farmers, l fear, make
a studied effort to have it so. The SOW
readily adjusts herself to her surround
ings and will make the most of them
but she cannot get comfort where there
Is none. Neither can she grow a
healthy pig If she does not have the
food that goes to make such pig.
Yet on every farm there is the mate
rial to make hog comfortable If the
soil will grow the foods necessary fol
him. The roughness Of these foods
will give necessary outside comforts il
handled right. There is no need that
brood SOW pass a tough winter, one
that she would dread the whole year, II
she had foresight longer than hunger
prompts.

New Patent loot.

boot recently invented by an officer OF
the Austro- Hungarian army. This de-
vice consists of leather sole, under
the heel of which is a contrivance or
metal with long spiral spring inside.
The patent is so simple that it can be

The object of the spring is to obviate
any jar when placing the foot on the
ground, so that it is like putting the
foot upon a cushion. Before introduc-
ing il into the army the British authori-
ties are testing it among the postmen,
