Horse for the Farmer.


Speaking on the most useful horse
for the farmer before the West vir-
ginia Live Stock Breeders Associa-
ton, c. E. Lewis said in part: The
heavy horse has a signal advantage in
some farm operations. In blowing or
operating a manure spreader or haul
ing the crops to the barn or to market
the heavy horse is just what is want
ed, but in narrowing he does not have
an advantage proportionate to his size.
For drawing a moving machine the
lighter horse is better. Hitch a heavy
horse to the shovel pillow or cultivator
and start him up and down the corn
field. with scarcely room between the
three-foot rows for HIM to put his pom
derous feet. walking on two rows at
once and breaking down more corn in
each than a little horse could in one
and you viii quickly decide that he
was not made for that kind of work
Besides, to carry 1000 pounds of sur
plus, useless horsefesh over the soft
ground of the cornfield takes a great
deal of energy, and that energy has to
be supplied " an extra amount of
feed. Then through the long winter
months of idleness it requires a great
deal of grain to keep the heavy horses
huge body in repair.

Early Flowing for Corn.

Some Of the best corn crops Of last
season, a season Of poor crops in all
corn sections. as rule, were from soils
plowed in March or early April. Elk
perience has shown that this early
spring blowing is to be preferred to
fan blowing, for corn. The stable
manure is hauled TO the field during the
winter as made, and in March. as soon
as the ground can be worked. il is
plowed. the blowing being rather shall
low. This blowing Is done in the regu-
lar manner, but nothing more is done
until complaining time. when the
ground is further prepared for the crop
The seeding is done with drills and
the summer system Of cultivation start
ed with the weeder early and continued
as loDg as possible The plan Is CON-
paratiyely new in some localities. but il
has brought good results. and is well
worth trying.

1t is unfortunate that farmers will
not learn that the fowls have no place
in the barn with cattle; indeed, that the
poultry-house ought not TO be placed
near the barns at all. for poultry lice
will get on to cattle, and especially on
calves, and are hard to get rid of. If
the poultry-houses are properly cared
for there ought not to be any lice in
them. At this season of the year the
nest boxes, roosts and the dropping
boards under the roosts should be well
cleaned at least once a week and the
nest boxes and the fowls be well dust
ed with insect powder. 1t is especially
necessary that the hens which are to be
used as mothers be kept free from lice.
or there win be great mortality among
the chicks when they are Matched. If
poultry lice are in barns it VIII require
considerable work to get rid of them.
Whi'ewash and insect. powder win
need to be freely used to accomplish it.

Heat in Bee Culture.

While it is possible to do many things
with artificial heat, all attempts to
hasten activity on the part of the bees
by artificial heat have proved failures

Prominence is given this now in view
OF several items going the round of the
press advising the packing of hives in

heat In experiments brood rearing

Matched, but they We're weak, and sue

honey before settled weather will re

One of the few relics. OF Washington
in the possession of an individual is a
pair of old gold sleevehinks belonging
to Gen. James Grant Wilson. Their
history, as recounted in the New York
Times, General Wilson told not long
ago before the New York Historical
Society. The story Isl both new and
true, for General Wilson is himself the
last hero of It, and he has not repeated
it often.

tior of Arnold's bravery-for Arnold.

Cotton Seed Meal as a Fertilizer.

Cotton Seed Meal as a Fertilizer.
The plan of using cotton seed in vari.
our forms as a fertilizer is not a de-
sirable practice. 1t is generally adj
mitted that we may add to the soils
fertility by the direct application of
several crops, the legumes, for exam
pie, but in very many cases these crops
could be made to answer a double pur-
pose. This is the case with cotton seed
meal. If fed to the stock in small
quantities together with roughage Of
almost any kind, it will be beneficial
TO the animals and still lose none of its
manurial value. All sorts of plans may
be tried in soil fertilization, but the fact
still remains that the best results are
obtained, all things considered, When
stock is used in connection with farm
ing. That many dairy farms do not
pay is admitted, but, on the other
hand, there are few farms that are
profitable if stock is not kept on them.
Regular farming is meant, not truck
raising. Further, and this has been
demonstrated time and again, there is
no farm used for general work that
would not be more profitable if more
stock was added up to the number that
could be supported from the farm.

Prof. Butler Gives Certain Character
istics by Which to Judge 2 sIan.
Any one can tell gentleman by look
ing at his back, but it takes close OBJ
servation to discover by cursory exam
inatien whether mar is educated or
not. BY education we do not mean
merely the fact mat a man has gone
through high school or a college and
made the motions of receiving an edu-
cation. But we refer to that training
of the mind which receives and grasps
facts, and understands them in the
light of past wisdom.
Professor Nicholas Murray Butler. of
Columbia University, New York, has
given five rules by which any one may
tell an educated man.
First, is the correctness with which
he uses his mother tongue and the pre-
cision Of his idiom. The educated man
moves easily among his words of
Saxon, Roman and Greek origin as
among old friends.
Second, is the mans manners. Not
the veneer that may be put on or off
as occasion serves, but the genuine
habit of the man himself
Third is the power of reflection.
Given an idea. the educated man will
throw upon the subject the light of a
number of correlated facts that are com
pletely beyond the power and ability of
the uneducated.
Fourth is 10 r1ovxror- 10
educated minds cease to develop at a
certain point They become non-recep-
tive.
Fifth, is the ability to do. Retire
ment from the world and contemplation
are no longer signs of education and
enlightenment. The modern man OF
education must accomplish things.

the growing of at least one leguminous
crop in its plan. BY this means large
gains Of nitrogen may be made from

Soil Culture in Fruit Growing.

Soil Culture in Fruit Growing.
few years ago there were few
farmers who had any faith in the
efforts of skilled experimenters to in
duce them to conserve the moisture in
the soil by a system of shallow culti-
walton during the summer. One by
one they tried the plan, many of them
in desperation during a season of
drought, until now thousands have
proved its great value. Fruit growers
are becoming interested in the question
and realize that with fruits that absorb
immense quantities of water from the
soil 1t is absolutely necessary that ev-
erything possible be done to keep in the
soil for the use of the tree during the
summer all that is possible of the
water that falls during the fall, winter
and spring. Nothing will accomplish
this better than the system of surface
culture during the summer Then if
this plan is followed by cover crop
during the winter to be turned under
in the spring, the trees have every in
centive to thrive. provided, of course,
the soil is properly fortified.
