Condition Powders for Horses.

AS a rule it is not a good plan to
use condiments with horses when they
are little ailing, for often change in
the food ration will set things straight
However, a condition powder is some
times a good thing, provided it is not
too strong or composed of powerful
drugs which are likely to injure the
coating of the stomach. The follow
ing formula is recommended by an ex-
change as entirely safe and generally
beneficial, particularly in the spring.
Take six ounces of powdered gentian
root, five ounces of powdered Jamaica
ginger, eight ounces of powdered inter,
four ounces of powdered sulphate of
iron, two ounces of powdered charcoal
and mix thoroughly in two pounds of
ground fiaxseed. The dose is from one
to two tablespoonful daily. If the
horses seem a little run down after
going through the work on the farm
during the summer, a few doses of
this condition powder with a proper
food ration will do them a world of
good.

1.-THE Voter"

''The Voter" monthly magazine.
published by Harry Barrett Chamber
lin, Chicago, is the latest postulant
for journalistic honors. Judging If
by the initial numbers 1t is likely to
become the chosen mouthpiece of
that class of urban and suburban
voters which believes in the subie,-
ton of partisan political preiudices
to the cause of good local government
and civic reform.
Mr.. Chamberlin, the editor and pub
Usher, is one of the best known news
papermen in this country. AS war
correspondent of the old CHICAGO
Record he was the only reporter who
was actually present at the destruc-
ton of Cervera's fleet. His political
activity in Chicago during the mast
few years as Secretary of the NUM-
cipal Voters League has been large
y responsible for the notable victor
les lately won there in the cause of
civic reform.
The Voters" list of contributors
contains the names of some of the
best known statesmen, politicians.
and publicists of both the great polj,-
ical parties in all parts of the United
States, and gives good promise of he
coming the national organ" of the
growing non-partisan reform move
ment in American city life.

A Cheap Crop to Raise.

| Rye is a crop that demands a fair
amount of moisture. Low land, not
too wet and cold, is most congenial
for a good yield 1t draws hard up
on the soil, as it derives less of it's
growth from the air than many other
/ products, and while good soil will
raise a more bountiful crop, quite
sterile lands in a wet season will pro-
| duce sometimes quite a growth, but
when such land will no longer produce
rye it is the last seed you need to SOW,
/ says Farm, Field and Fireside. While
| rye is a cheap crop, it yields but a
small amount of grain for the amount
of stalk In localities where fodder
| is scarce it can be used as substitute
for hay if cut just as it is about ready
/ to blossom, at which time the leaf
blades are in just good condition and
fairly well developed. If sown in the
last of August the first of June would
| be the proper time for cutting, but the
wholesomeness of this kind of fodder
has been somewhat questioned for the
use of horses unless fed alternately
with clover or timothy hay. If cut by
the first of June and the season is wet
there will be sufficient vitality in the
root to throw up another crop of fod-
der the same season.
In ATTITUDES 40 to A it is best TO
SOW as early as the last Of August, yet
it is easily injured by frost at about
blossoming time. When that occurs
the only thing to do is to cut it for
hay and without delay. In sowing the
last of August one-half bushel of seed
is ample, but in raising rye for the
grain it will be more sure If sown
about the first part of October, making
it later in the spring as a protection
against late frosts, for it takes a very
heavy frost to injure it before it is
headed. But in sowing on the first of
October it requires about 1N bushels
of seed per acre instead of half
bushel. In view of the great draft
upon the soil we could hardly advise
the raising of rye for the grain only,
and only where the fodder is much
needed

NOTES..

Recently several writers have ad-
vcated apple trees for the lawn,
urging that they grow rapidly and
make good shade. While this is true,
nothing is said about the falling fruit
and the necessity for proper pruning
to keep the tree within bounds. While
an apple tree is better than no tree on
a lawn, the strictly ornamental trees
are so numerous and so moderate in
price that it seems unnecessary to
plant fruit trees in such location. All
of the varieties of naples are fairly
clean, the seed pods making mess on
the lawn for time, the cut leaf birch
the purple beech. the elm, the orna-
mental cherry and a dozen other
species are desirable lawn trees, so one
can easily find class suited to his To-
