There seems, from the information
afforded us in a number of instances,
TO be no doubt of the prontlc breeding

recent statements we have it from Mr..
Minor Byington that he, four years

young; and from Mr.. F. n. Moler that
a few years ago he crossed an old gar

several toads or a rabbit under its skin.
On opening it, however, he found in

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 blowing
or in drawing a load upon soft ground
than a much lighter team would do
easily. Then the heavy horses are
driven over our billy roads often at a
rate of speed that causes them to pound
the earth so that the legs give out, and
they are quickly lame. 1t certainly
requires more food to sustain 1,600-
pound horse than one weighing from
1000 to 1900 pounds, and when not
constantly employed drawing heavy
loads the amount of work done by the
heavy horses does not compensate for
the extra cost of maintaining them.
AS farmers will have next spring to buy
horses or many will we advise them TO
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.-Ex-

Sugar Beet Pulp for Cows.

At the jacksonville (Cal.) factory SUI
gar beet pulp sells all the way from %
to 80 cents per ton. AS it can be held
a long time in the silo. and is fed to best
advantage when old, it is available the
entire year. According to notes col
lected by R. A. Pearson, of. the dairy
division at Washington, published in q
recent bulletin, The fresh pulp ispiled or
placed in a silo. This silo is very crude.
1t also costs very little. The pulp is
very soft when first put in and general
ly settles considerably. OF course the
top layers decay, and after a time the
entire mass is covered with protecting
layer three to six inches thick. Ina few
months the individual pieces of beets,
originally two or three inches long and
quite slender, are broken down, and the
material reminds one of cold mush,
grayish brown in color. Three tons of
the fresh pulp make about one ton
when cured.

Poultry and Potatoes.

Last spring. as an experiment, l
planted my poultry yard, containing
one-feurth Of an acre, to potatoes, says
a correspondent of Farm and Poultry.
1 have just dug fifty bushels of fine po-
tatoes from this quarter acre. l did
nothing but plant and dig the pota-
toes; the hens did the rest-kept off
the bugs, kept the ground free from
weeds, fortified the crop and kept the
ground in fine condition, so that 1
didn't need to cultivate. The yield
is double that on land adjoining, and
the potatoes are entirely free from
scab. Seventy-fve hens occupied the
quarter acre. When the potatoes were
planted, a few whole potatoes were
thrown into the yard for the fowls, so
that they had no need to dig out the
seed potatoes. 1 think 100 hens could
care for an acre of potatoes to their
mutual benefit.

Bridge under the water.

A very peculiar bridge is being con.
structed over the Mary River at Mary
borough, Queensland, in that it is
being designed so that its surface will
be submerged several times during the
year at the seasons of high floods.
The idea in building the bridge in this
way is - save the material that would
be required to build it sufficiently high
to escape submersion at high water.
The country on the banks of the Mary
River lies so low that the approaches
would have to be extraordinarily long
to be entirely out of the water during
floods and this would have involved an
immense expense, so that it was decid-
ed to disregard the floods and build the
bridge for use during low water and
employ boats during the comparatively
short time that the water would cover
the bridge. The bridge will clear by
twelve feet and six inches at ordinary
high water. The highest flood level
is thirty-three feet. so that at times the
bridge will be submerged more than
twenty feet

Education in Earn,inu

Horace Greeley said that he left the

or something to about that effect. We
have no doubt that he often thought
he would have stayed on the farm if
he could have had some of the knowl-
edge about farming that used to have a
place in the Tribune in after years, but
we are not so sure about it, Even in
those days there was more theoretical
teaching of farming than of any prac-
teal knowledge that would reduce ag-
riculture to an exact science. and we
think if he had been on the farm and
tried some of the methods advocated
in the Tribune his language might
have been as emphatic as any that he
used in political campaigns. But since
that date agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations have done much to
educate the farmers and the farmers
sons, theories have been practically
tested, methods have been so well
the results are almost as certain as
mathematical demonstrations, ma
chimes have been invented to do much

for a number of years, and is has also
to some extent been avoided 1t now
develOpes that it is no ''suck hole" but
in the bottom of the river is is claimed
there is a streak of powerful loadstone
A man in that community recently
constructed a large and substantial
raft for the purpose of investigating
the causes of the suction in this particu-
lar part of the river. 1t was discovered
that the river bottom is solid rock, and
that through the center of the rock, run
ming lengthwise, is black streak. 1t
is about five inches in width, and runs
the length of the hole. This streak
was examined with common fish gig,
and was found to be very hard. The
gig adhered to the stone and it took no
little pulling to extricate it. Further
investigation was made, and it is said
the streak following the bottom of the
river is undoubtedly powerful load
stone.
This hole was discovered over forty
years ago by Enoch Atteberry, who
came near losing his life in the water,
having been rescued by two men, who
pulled him out by means of long pole.
Lum WeSs and Luther Trulock also
came near losing their lives in the hole
short time ago while SEEMING. They
were rescued halfdrowned by other
members of the party. The attraction
was so powerful toward a chain on the
bottom of the seine that the seiners
had to abandon it. The hole is not in
the main stream. but is an outlet.
A dog thrown into the water never
comes out, but is quickly drawn to the
bottom. When a trout line is stretch
ed across the place the unseen energy
attracts the hooks to the black streak
and there holds them securely until
they are drawn out. At times there is
a strong undercurrent in the bayou,
which is uhaccounted for, and which
often sweeps the bottom clean, reliev-
ing the loadstone of its collection.
The locality of the suck hole is get
| ting to be a much dreaded one, espe-
cially by the superstitious. 1t is known
| to all negroes as the death hole" and
! farmers in that section find it difficult
to employ negro help. Many cattle and
| hogs have been lost.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Veteran of the Civil War Tells an In
tere sting Story.

Effingham, H., April 22.-(Special.l-
Uriah S. Andrick is now 81 years of
age. Mr. Andrick served through the
whole of the Civil War. He was
wounded, three times by ball and twice
by bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 1861 he was hale and hearty,
and weighed 1913 pounds. Since the
close of the war, however. Mr.. Andrick
has had very bad health.
For fifteen years he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 49, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 102 pounds, being but
a shadow of his former self He COM
menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills ON
the Goth of last December, and on Feb.
20 was again weighed, and weighed
146 pounds He says:
Il have spent hundreds of dollars and
received no benefit, until on the 26th
of December last purchased one box
of Dodd's Kidney Pills. l am cured,
and l am free from any pain. My
hearts action is completely restored. 1
have not the slightest trace of the
Bright's Disease. and can sleep well
all night. l was considered hopeless
case by everybody, but to-day | am q
we'll man, thanks to Dodds Kidney
Pills.
For the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she commenced
to use them. She now feels like another
woman, her pains have all disappeared
and her general health is better than
it has been for years.
''She is so taken up with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and what they have done for
us that she has gone to Mr.. Cornwelrs
drug store and bought them for some
of her friends for fear that if they
went themselves they might make
mistake and get something else"
There is something very convincing
in the honest, simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.

Remedy that ever cured Brights Dis

skulls trephined by stone implements
and in connection with this some ami
NAL skulls, showing experimental work
done under Professor McGee'S direc-
tion,, using the same flint implements
which the ahOrigincs were forced to
employ 1t is doubtful whether the
ancient operations were performed for
a distinctly surgical purpose or wheth-
er the operation was of some mystic
significance. In some cases the fresh
ness of the wounds in the bone showed
that the patient did not long survive
the operation, and in one or two in
stances il is plain that the ancient
operator must have cut down upon IA
large blood vessel, causing almost in
Simultaneous death, but in other cases
the operation was more successful and
the patient must have survived for
some years at least. ...
Professor w Fl. Holmes. of the Ma
tional Museum, will exhibit a dozen
groups of models representing the do
nestle life Of the aborigines of both
North and South America aud will

Breeding Mules.

We are of the opinion, says Farm
and Ranch, that mule breeding has
been too much neglected in the South
and perhaps elsewhere. The mule is
really the most useful draft animal on
the farm and by far the most econo-
mical. For real rough farm work
mules are better than horses. They
are not quite so speedy as horses, but
there is much blowing on every farm
that cannot be done both rapidly and
we'll, and for steady pulling at uni
form speed the mule has no equal
They are harder and more easily keps
and more cheaply fed than horses, and
when grown for market they are al
ways ready sale at higher prices than
farm horses. Large mares and we'll
bred jacks are needed to produce mules
that will bring 5000 at years old.

Among all the numerous devices and
schemes TO induce plants to grow the
idea which is illustrated below is prob
ably a novelty, and it is not unlikely
that it will serve its purpose to some
advantage in the forcing of shrubbery,
plants, etc. The inventor is Gardner
NJ. Sherman, of Springfield, Mass, and
he claims that the arrangement is not
only of great utility and value in acceI-
Grating the growth of plants by giving
them with the utmost directness the
most suitable fertilizing ingredients
which they are known to require, but
in experimenting. in series modifying or
varying the constituents employed, with
a view to the observation and COMPARE
son of the results. The device is hol-
low porous receptacle, with vertical
tube at the top. The device is buried
when the plant is set out, leaving the
end Of the tube exposed above the sur
face of the earth. Then the ingredients
of the fertilizer are mixed and poured
in through the tube, being absorbed
through the porous vessel by the roots
of the plant. In this manner the roots

Smut in Grain,

The treatment of seed grain by dip.
ping for about ten minutes in Il solu-
ton of one pint of formalin in twenty
five gallons Of water, to prevent smut,
has proved so effectuaI and so cheap
that no farmer has an excuse for fail
ing to try it. The above amount should
be enough to treat about fifteen bushels
of seed, or more if after a bushel has
been soaked it is allowed to drip into
another barrel or tub while the next
lot is being soaked. The fOrmalin is
not dangerous or disagreeable to
handle, though not safe for animals to
drink. The same treatment is advised
by potatoes to prevent the scab.
