EXERCISE FOR HORSES.
Opment of the Highest Powers
Of an Animal,

In writing about the care Of horses
an eminent English army officer has
the following to say: "Regularity OF
exercise is an important element in the
development Of the highest powers of
the horse. The horse in regular work
will suffer less in his legs than another,
for he becomes gradually and thor
oughly accustomed to- what it required
of him. The whole living machine hc-
commodities itself to the regular de-
mands on 1t, the body becomes active
and we'll conditioned without super
fluous fat, and the muscles and tendons
develop. Horses in regular
work are also nearly exempt from the
many accidents which arise from over
freshness. AS proof of the value Ct
regular exercise, we need only refer to
the stage coach horse of former days.
Many of these animals, though by no
means Of the best physical frame,
would trot with a heavy load behind
them for eight hours at the rate of
ten miles an hour without turning n
hair, and this work they would con-
tinue to do for years without even be-
ing sick or sorry. Few gentlemen can
say as much for their carriage horses.
No horses, in fact, were in harder con-
dition. On the other hand, if exercise
be neglected, even for few days, in a
horse in high condition, he will put
on fat. He has been taking daily the
large amount of material needed to
sustain the consumption caused by his
work. II that work cease suddenly,
nature will, Notwithstanding, continue
to supply the new material; and fat.
followed by plethora, and frequently
by disease, will be the speedy conse-
Uuence,"

BUYING HOGS CHEAP.
Many Otherwise Sensible Farmers
Allow Low Prices to Dictate
Important Purchases.

No swine breeder can afford to buy
animals just because they are cheap.
1t not infrequently happens that the
cheapest animals prove to be the most
expensive in the end, whether that end
be in the way of breeding or of butch
ering. If an animal is cheap it is be-
cause it is not worth much, except in
rare cases when a good animal has to
be disposed of under the conditions of
a forced sale. The man that buys a
cheap boar finds that he has to sell the
progeny of that boar at correspond
ingly low price. The man that buys n
cheap sow frequently finds that she is
cheap because she bears few pigs and
they of poor quality. By the time he
has disposed of the pigs and figured
up his accounts he finds that the cheap
SOW was really very expensive sow,
for into her went not only the pur-
chase money but great deal of labor
and feed. No progressive man will al
low the price to dictate his purchases.
Quality is what he must have, and it
is what he is after. The man that
really buys cheap Is the man that pays
good price for a good animal and
gets n good profit out of it. 1t is very
seldom that a good profit comes out of
poor price and poor animal.-Farm-
ers' Review

InaculntiOn for Dlnck1eR.

Blackleg attacks fat cattle under
two years of age. 1t may appear at
any season OF the year, but commonly
in spring and fall. They should be in
oculated when about four months old
and again when about one year old.
The vaccination seems only to protect
about one year. 1t can be done ut time
of year convenient to the owner, and
on any part of the animal, generally in
ear, tail or neck. All animals dying
with this disease should be burned.
The first thing detected is the animal
is lame, refuses to eat a swelling APP
pears on shoulder or hip. Generally the
animal dies in few hours, and on cut
ting into the swelling it has the APP
pearance OF the tissues being pounded.

sCRAPER FOR STABLE USE.

of an old garden hoe to the blade,
and put in a handle of the desired
length. A scraper of this kind i.
much better than one made of wood,
and it will be found useful outside
the stable for such work as clean
ing the barn floor, the poultry house,
Or for use in the grain bins. If Il
handle clip from a hoe is not at
hand, the device shown by "B" may
be available of to attach the handle
to scraper. This is made by taking q
piece of strap iron, bending double.
welding part way up and spreading
apart the unveiled wings, which are
bent so as to fit on the squared end
of the handle. Small holes are drilled
in the clip of the rivets or bolts with
which it is secured to the scraper

FRIEND OF FARMERS
Mr.. Newell, Chief photographer Of
Geological Survey.
AathoF Of the Great scheme Of Arid
Land Reclamation In the West,
Recently Endorsed By the
Conyrcss.

II seems odd that the man who is
chiefly responsible for the great
scheme Of irrigation in the vast arid
regions Of the west should have
learned his earliest lessons in irri-
CATION in Massachusetts,.
The man to whom, more than to
anyone else, is due the credit for
mapping out this great and expen-
sive plan Of reclamation is Freder-
ick II. Newell, chief photographer of
the United States geological survey.
who, though born in Bradford, Pa,
is descended from old New England
stock, and was himself brought up
on Bay state farm, after taking q
course of engineering instruction at
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology.
His father before him was n civil
engineer, and it is curious circum.
stance that his grandfather, Arte-
mus Newell, who once conducted a
farm about IL miles from Boston,
was the first man north of Mexico
and California, to introduce prac-
tical system of irrigation.
This sturdy New England son Of
the soil during the early part Of
President Buchanan's administration
had occasion to make trip to
southern France, and there had his
eyes opened to the value of irriga-
tion as a means of rendering fruit
full otherwise unproductive wastes
of sandy land.
Mr.. Newell's interest in this sys-
tenn appears to have been transmit
ted to his son and grandson, for the
latter, from the time he first set
eyes on the original irrigation plant
on the old Newell homestead, be-
came an enthusiast.
BY the time he was six, ~ re-
suit Of his boyish studies Of the

Newell nant, he had mastered prac
tically every detail OF irrigation anC
could run the plant, with it's ditchos
and sluice gates, about as well as hk
grandfather could.
After receiving the rudiments OF
his education at Needham, Mass.
young Newell took course in the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol
ogy, and after graduation went to
Colorado in 1882 to engage in min.
ing.
subsequently he entered the geo.
logical survey, where he proceeded
to make n specially of irrigation,
and no man was more proud and
delighted than was he when the last
congress indorsed his ideas by max
ing an appropriation of some $4,000
600 or $6,O0o,OOO for the purpose OF
beginning this great work.
\ recent statement by Mr.. New
ell, in the Boston Globe, concerning
his course as member vi the geo.
logical survey, contains an impor-
tant lesson for young men.
when l first entered the service
of the geological survey said Mr..
Newell, II saw that there was very
little chance for any one to forge
ahead unless he originated some
thing altogether new and aside from
the general line of work as it was
then carried on by the survey.
Every department was filed by
some person well advanced in years
who had originated and built up his
own particular line of work, and I
determined, therefore, to turn my
knowledge of irrigation to account.
Running my eye over the map of the
west, ] saw whole states and sec
tions OF states, arid, unsettled and
unfit for habitation.
"Unless something was done to
convert these barren and arid tracts
into fruitful and habitable lands,
many of these territories could never
gain populations large enough to
become states, but would continue
for all time to remain territories.
"I, therefore, inaugurated and de-
veloped plans for a complete hydro
graphic survey of the west, to ascer-
tain the practicablity of irrigation
in those parts. This survey is still
in progress, and has proven n COM
plete success"
The areas in which the various re.
gions to be treated on this vast scale
extend from Canada to Mexico and
from the Missouri river to the Paci-
fic, and the work Of survey has only
1ust begun.
The reclaimed lands are to be sold
to settlers, not more than 160 acres
being allowed to one person, and in
this way the work will soon be made
practically self-supporting, the rev.
enue derived from the first lands re-
claimed being utilized to irrigate
another se"'inn- ..--....- ..s-. -,,--.--.-.
