Open Air for Horses.

The Creator intended the open air
for the horses element. A morse con-
demned to Imprisonment in a dark
stall, without exercise, without fresh
air and the CLINT of the bright sun
shine on his coat, will become as weak
and useless as a prisoner who shows
the pallor of years of Incarceration
behind dungeon walls, says the Horse
Breeder. Light exercise sends the
good, warm, blood flowing through
channels to every part of the body, de-
caying tissues are rebuilt by the life
current that has been purified in its
contact with the fresh air in the lungs.
The digestive organs perform their sew
eral functions more perfectly, and so
more rich, red, nourishing blood is
made. A sound horse does not need
''limbering up" in the strict sense of
the term, but 1t Is natures decree that
the muscles of the animal, as well as
the human body, should not be allowed
to soften and decay by reason of lack
of work.

Muscovy Ducks.

This breed was at one time very
popular among the duck raisers OF
Long Island, but has been mostly SUI
perseded by the Pekin. Some growers,
however, still prefer the white Mus
covy, or a cross of this variety with
other breeds, on account of its large
size and rapid growth.
The pure breed has white plumage,
light beak and yellow legs. The stand
ard weight is 10 pounds for grown
drake compared with eight pounds for
Pekin drake. Their defects consist
Of poor laying quality and an extremely
vicious and quarrelsome disposition.
The pair shown in the illustration are
members of the flock at Exmoor farms,
Lebanon, Pa. The bare red patches
about the face are Characteristic of the
breed, and give the bird a fierce ap-
pearance which is fully justified by the
lighting qualities of the males.

Hoo Pasture.

1t Is not safe or even desirable to
rely upon single crop to furnish pas
ture for our hogs throughout the en-
tire season. 1t is better to arrange for
succession of pastures from the be-
ginning of the season until the hogs
are ready for market, making the feed
richer and more concentrated toward
the close of the season, and as We ap-
proach the finishing of fattening peri
cd. For this purpose the following
crops are recommended: Red clover or
alfalfa, rape, cowpeas. soy beans.
On lands adpted to alfalfa it will
undoubtedly prove to be better for
hogs than red clover, inasmuch as it
will produce large quantity of feed of
somewhat higher value, inasmuch as
We have not yet learned to grow al
falfa successfully on the majority of
our soils. we shall be forced to rely
chiefly upon clover. 1t starts earlier
In the spring than any hog pasture we
have excepting alfalfa, and would
therefore be used first, and should be
used as long as 1t is succulent and
palatable Usually not later than the
middle Of June the crop will have be-
come SO mature that the hogs will rel
ish change for the time being, and
the surplus clover should be cut and
removed, so as to allow the second or
fall crop to start promptly.

How to Improve the Farm Flock.


There are number of ways in which
to improve the farm flock. The cheap
est and surest methods, where one does
not wish to invest largely in strictly
pure breeds, is to secure from some
reputable breeder early in autumn a
few pure bred cockerels that score up
we'll in the COS. BY buying early you
can get birds that would perhaps sell
in the spring for three times the price
asked for them now. AS no breeder.
no matter how much experience he has
had in the fancy poultry business, can
foretell the qualities of fowl, the
chances are nine out of ten that bird
will develop nearer standard require
ments than to develop disqualified.
When pure bred males are used on
mongrel hens from one year to an
other for few years, they show quite
a decided effect upon the flock. In Sc
curing males it would be well to look
well to the utility qualities of the
birds. You can build up heavy lay
ing strain In very short time if a
little precaution and good judgment
are used in buying males. The most
common practice among farmers In
buying males is to accept the cheapest
price quoted, regardless of quality This
is wrong idea. Our. experience Is
that the cheapest is tue dearest In the
end, and the man that buys good quail
ty and pays for 1t will realize more in
the end than the man that loses IS to
save 81 A flock of choice fowls can
not be maintained with mongrel hen
not be maintained with mongrel male
at the head for breeder.
Remember, strictly choice thorough
bred males cannot be had at market
prices, they cost more and are worth
more, as their breeding qualities will
prove, more profitable to you at the
close of the season. Insist upon the
best you possibly can afford and buy
no other, and you will be amply re-
paid for your extra cost and trouble

Spread Manure After Harvest.

After the harvesting of the grain
crops, and before the corn is ready to
cut, farmers usually have time which
they can give to hauling manure on the
land before fall blowing. Spread the
manure directly from the wagon or i'm
mediately after hauling it to the field.
If left in small piles in the field for
any length of time the liquids will
leak and be absorbed only on the spot
covered. Manure should be evenly
spread over the surface. Again, man
ure which Is left in hills for long
time will pack, and it will be difficult
TO scatter it when you are ready to do
that work. Fields which are foul with
.histles and other weeds should by all
means be plowed early if the season
be dry.-G. H. Wilson.
