The Carriage Horse.

Farmers, as rule, when a carriage
horse is spoken of, call to mind some
little, fiighty. nervous animal, good
for nothing else, so he must be car.
rage or road horse. In this they are
wrong. The carriage horse is an ami.
NAL, first, of size enough to draw
carriage over country as well as city
roads-which means horse Weighing
not less than eleven hundred pounds.
In its perfection, It must be an ami.
NAL that is kind and which has intel
lgence, as well as some style and
good action; and any horse without
these requisites will not class in the
market as carriage horse. His
form we cannot in brief article like
this describe.
But the farmer who thinks to breed
a carriage horse for carriage purposes
must always bear in mind that
horse with less size and disposition
such that he will not do other things
besides draw carriage-yes, even do
| light draft work, or pillow, II asked to
| do so-will never rank as an ideal
carriage horse IL sold at all, II must
| be to a man who Is horseman and
not to the man who Is not an expert
horseman ---the one who always has a
desire for his own and iamily's safety
and will pay larger money for kind.
ness in horse than for style and
speed. This is true in all markets OF
the world.
will say right here, before going
farther: No sire, no matter how
well he may be bred, should ever be
used that cannot be driven safely In
work he Is bred for, and Is to be used
in string colts for. A carriage stall
lion that cannot be safely hitched to
carriage and driven, or draft stall
lion that cannot or will not pull q
load when required of him, Is, to
say the least very poor sire for the
farmer to patronize. It is horses for
the various kinds of business we re.
quire of horses that the markets OF
the world demand, and when the sire
will not do the work we cannot even
hope but that some of his get Will
show his disposition. Therefore, be
not misled into breeding to any bad
dispositioned sire, no matter wha'
his other merits may be. The very
first question asked when horse Of

be positive and not with a hesitancy

Census Fiaures on Meat.

The census bulletin dealing with
Strengthening and meat packing gives
the information that 2 per cent more
beeves were slaughtered in 1900 than
in 1890. but the cost of beeves showed
an increase of 27.9 per cent. The
population of 1900 exceeded the popu-
lation of 1890 by Fl per cent. Vege.
tarianism did not make notable
progress during the decade. 1t fol-
lows that there was much greater
increase in the number of beef eaters
than in the number of beeves killed.
The inevitable result was an increase
in price.
There were sold during the last
census year 1926. 100000 pounds of
fresh beef. This was 7S per cent more
than in 1890, but the cost increased
1873 per cent. The average price In
1890 was 5.6 cents pound and in
1900 TO cents. The total output of
fresh, canned and sailed beef in 1900
was $40 100000 pounds. That Of
pork--fresh, sailed, in hams, bacon
and sausage-was 4,665, 900 900 pounds.
That Of mutton was 404,000,000
pounds. This Is an average produc.
ton of forty pounds of beef, sixty
pounds of pork and five pounds OF
mutton per head, of population. Evi'
IDENTIFY mutton counts for little in the
United States. The per cent OF in
crease of hogs slaughtered in 1900
as compared with 1890 was 37.2.
while the per cent of increase Of cost
was 34.5. Had it not been for the
small percentage Of increase in beeves
pork would not have been so marked.
The effect of the insufficient supply
of beef was an advance in the prices
of all other notwithstanding

should be arranged with a view to
economize labor. Wooden floors, on
account of frequent renewals and the
difficulty in keeping clean, are TOO

The Alligator Pear.

There Is growing demand for q
tropical fruit, now very little known,
the alligator pear. 1t is a pear only
in shape and is served as salad OF
relish rather than as a fruit. The
pears now bring from 80 to 60 cents
apiece in the markets of New York,
London and Paris, ridiculous price
due to the fact that, being in small
demand the supply is very small, but
they are steadily growing in favor,
and Porto Rico is able to-day to send
them to market in large quantities
and of the very best quality.

Milk Filters Not Practicable.


bulletin OF the Cornell station
says: While milk drawn under OF.
binary conditions becomes polluted
with varying amounts of dirt and
dust, milk obtained even with the
most careful precautions will contain
some foreign matter. which is teeming
with germ life. These impurities,
consisting mostly of dirt and dust,
dissolve readily in the warm milk,
therefore, II the latter is not strained
promptly little II any Of the filth can
be strained out. 1t is then Of the
greatest Importance to reduce the
time that elapses between the drawing
and straining of milk to minimum;
even then It has been found that about
oiIe.half of the impurities go into So
luton before the milk reaches the
strainer. Attempts have been made to
uue strainers or filters that would nj
ter out bacteria and thus reduce the
number of bacteria in milk directly.
For this purpose, absorbent cotton,
paper filters, cellulose, gravel or sand
filters, porcelain filters and many
other devices have been tested and
used with more or less success. In
order to thoroughly understand the
value OF these filters In connection
with dairying IL is we'll for the dairy
man to know that the bacteria are
many times smaller than the fai
globules in milk Bearing this fact
in mind 1t Is not difficult to under
stand that, as soon as we make use
of filter that is dense enough t.
prevent bacteria from penetrating. the
fat globules will also be filtered out
A large number of experiments con
Quoted at this station and elsewhere
have proved the correctness of thi!
statement The fact that the use o
filters capable Of depriving milk o
one of its most valuable constituents
namely fat. and that such process
of filtering is exceedingly slow ant
therefore impracticable in dairyine
demonstrates clearly the impossible
ity of purifying milk meteorological
ly by means of any filter now on tn
market.

Water Glass for Keeping Eggs.

The water glass, or soluble glass
(silicate of soda), is obtainable OF
druggists, and costs from forty to
sixty cents per gallon. That used in
the tests was of 1.12 specific gravity.
which in the first series Of tests was
diluted with distilled water to ten
per cent solution. In practice take one
pint Of water glass and add nine pints
Of boiled water. On May IS, 1899, twen-
ty eggs Of Leghorn fowls laid during
the five days from the 18th to 18th Of
May, were carefully washed with wa
ter and placed In stone jar. The
ten per cent solution Of water glass
was poured over the eggs until they
were completely covered by the liquid.
The covered jar was placed on the
floor of the cellar colset and left un-
touched until the end of the test,
April 4, 1900. Result: Good, 100 per
cent; bad, per cent. On opening the
Jar the water glass was found to have
formed a white, gelatinous precipi-
tate, which adhered more or less close
ly to the eggs. The shells of the eggs
were very clean, owing to the alkaline
nature of the solution; the air cells
were not enlarged. Examination
showed the whites of the eggs to be

Actress Laura Biggar who Is

statement regarding her relations
with Mr.. Bennett. She said
I'VE were duly married in Hobok-

spurious in court the other day, Is

me the night of my wedding and had
not left my care until 1t was handed
to the court as evidence of my mar

why did we keep the marriage a
secret all these years? Simply this:
Mr.. Bennett wanted it kept a secret
and had been led like child to obey
him in all things. He wanted 1t kept
a secret because his first wife had
been dead only three months when
he married me. He had courted me,
followed me, pleaded for my love and
favor even before the death of his
first wife.
And yet we never, despite the ap'
parent mystery of 1t all, made any
real secret of our marriage. We were
