farm is really little village in itself, and is
with a degree of precision and strict atten-
ton to business on every employees part that
borders upon the military. large body of
men, including skilled and unskilled workmen,
is under Mr. Ortiz's orders.
Poultry make one department of the farm,
which is under the charge of +. W. Gaylor,
specialist in his line There are about one
thousand fowls in the Gedney Farm runs and
many of them prize winners at annual
shows The gardens and hothoUses at Gedney
Farm are conducted on a most generous scale.
Mr. Willets's chief pleasure is derived from
his horses The Gedney Farm stables i'm
posing, and, from the equine point Of view. their
interior arrangement may be styled palatial.
Everything is kept scrupulousy clean. and on
all sides the CLINT of polished wood and shining
brass meets the eye Each of Mr. Willetss
prize winners and best known horses occupies
n commodoUs box stall marked with the name
Of the occupant. and a all times thiclly carpet
ed with fresh bedding. And indeed the horse
finding fault with the smaller stalls must enter
tain excessively high ideals concerning equine
life. The carriage house is interesting not only
because OF it's large collection OF vehicles but
also because Of the remarkable sand pictures
worked out In sand Of various colors on the
floor by one OF the stable employees.
Beyond the carriage house is the Office Of II

cleared eight feet two inches. This jumper is
a most intelligent beast and likes TO be petted,
and when Mr. Willets visits the stables the
horse at once institutes a search of his pockets
for the Jumps of sugar to be found sooner
or later.

Mr.. Willets has passion for art and good
literature, equalling. if not surprising. his love
of fine horses. and his house is well filled with
works of art and the productions Of the best
authors. Situated the crest OF hill the
house on fair days commands view of the

The grounds are decorated with Towering

Gedney Farm, the home of Howard Willets
at White Plains, n. Y. is being further beaut-
fled and improved. Mr.. Willets has recently
purchased a tract containing about one hundred
acres adjoining his former holdings. This pur-
chase increases the total area of Gedney Farm
TO three hundred acres. and practically all Of it
is considered among the finest land in the neigh
borhood of White Plains. Mr. Wets is also
having two new macadamized avenues con
structed across the farm; n piggery, practi-
cally complete, and a new cowhouse, work upon
which IS well under way, must be included
among the Gedncy Farm improvements also.

AS the home OF Heatherboom, the worlds
champion high jumper, and other well known
prize winners, Gedney Farm is known to horse
men and lovers Of horses far and wide. Gedney
Farm cattle have for years been counted among
the finest in the land. and now Mr.. Willets is
preparing to eclipse his own records for fine
stock Bluebell, a fine full blooded Jersey COW,

THE SPREAD OF DISEASES.
Why Farmers Should Encourage In.
stead Of Deploring the Visits Of
Their State Veterinarian.

An outbreak Of CHAMBERS in horses oc-
CURED in central state. The authors
ties tried their best to suppress it, but
several infected horses were in the hands
of traders and others. who concealed
them, and the result was that the coun-
ty will have to be put in quarantine at
serious Inconvenience to many people
and at great cost to the taxpayers. 4
The Farmers Voice says that a stray
pig came along a lane and farmer
caught it and put it in pen in his barn.
yard. 1t died within few days, and in
ten days thereafter other hogs on the
farm were dying. Their owner thought
lessly moved the well hogs to another
pasture, near the herds Of others, and in
less than six weeks 81 900 worth of hogs
died from the contagion brought into
the country by that stray pig.
Farmers cannot be too careful in re-
gard to such matters, and instead Of
fearing a visit from the state veteri-
marian, they should in all cases Of sus-
pected contagious disease, promptly in
form him and lend him all assistance
within their power. It is to the inter-
est of every farmer to have contagious
diseases in animals stamped out before
they get beyond control. ...4

Scrubs Eat Their Heads Oh.

Scrubs Eat Their Heads OF.
That scrub animals will waste large
amounts Of feedstuffs, was shown in
q feeding test conducted at the Ten
nessee station. A bunch of animals OF
good breed and antecedents were fed
for beef and gained two and a half
pounds per day. while so-called
Scrubs under the same conditions
gained only one and q half pounds, q
difference Of one pound per day. The
effect Of breeding, blood and conforma-
ton is instanced in another feeding test
where certain beef steers gained only
As pounds in go days, while others I'M
der similar conditions gained 125
pounds in the same period. This goes
to show that it does not pay to feed q
poor animal. Weed out the scrubs"

The Best Fertilizer Known

- The Best Fertilizer Known.
Many scientists and investigating
farmers know that sheep manure is the
greatest fertilizer that the farm pro-
duces. Some farms are kept up by
sheep and stable manure, no CONNER
cial fertilizer being deemed necessary.
A western farmer who has been fatten-
ing lambs for market for many years
says the fertilizer produced by his
flocks has increased the producing pow
er Of his land from one-third to one
half. He believes It would pay to keep
sheep for their value as fertilizer alone,

PROPER MARKING OF PIGS.

$3.50 yStsn Most ins1 FAVOR in West i
%s ern States. vi

s9AS there are large number Of farm
ers taking up the breeding Of pure bred
hogs ~ q small way. word at this time
regarding the marking of the pigs for
Identification later on may be OF value
to them. For purposes Of registration It
5is necessary to be able to identify each
individual at any future time, says the
Prairie Farmer. II one is not breeding
pure BREEDS or doesx9ob e1pect to keep
them recorded it is we'll to mark those
from the sows possessing the charac-
teristism desired in brood SOW that
the next years breeding stock may be
saved from among them. --..,-. . ......
K is more difficult to get a mark for
the hog that will stay with 1t as perma-
nent means Of Identification than for
any other Of our domestic animals. For
tunately the best method for marking
them is one that can be applied while
the pigs are but few days old and this
ID the best time to perform the operation.
THERE'S no danger then that they have
become mixed, and the possibility of
mistake will be eliminated. Then, too,
it is much more easily and quickly done
at this stage and the disturbance is less

nest II neglected at this time it should
be attended to without fail before tho
pigs are weaned. .f+'r a 1T !
The system of marking to which We
refer consists Of q series of notches in
the marking of the ears. For this pur-
pose Z common sized leather punch is
used. To use this system of notching
let q notch in a certain part Of the ear
represent q certain number, then by
different combinations Of notches diff
ferent numbers will be represented. For
example, II a notch in the front edge Of
the right ear means one and in the rear
margin five, in the front of the left ear
Is and in the rear margin Of that ear
125, there can be made GA different COM
binations Of those notches without maxi
ing more than four notches representing
either number This affords number
ing capacity for quite respectable herd
without great number of notches in tho
ears Of any individual. Some combine
with this a series of round holes punched
in the central portion of the ear, but
these will sometimes grow up. BY using
a larger punch the same system may be
applied with excellent results, to the
marking of cattle. The common leather
punch may be used in applying this sys-
tenn to sheep and goats.

WORK FOR YOUNG HORSES
Many Mistakes Are Made in This d.
rection by Farmers Who Ought
to Know Better.

It may be considered that horse ia
fairly termed young until it Is eight
years old, and after that it ought to
be expected to accomplish any reason
able amount of work asked of It with
out injury. I often think we are In
clined to ask too much Of your young
horses; we work them too hard with the
same effect that working children too
hard has: it stunts their growth and
prevents them from accomplishing what
they should when they reach maturity.
Feeding young horses is one of the Sc
rious problems Of farm work and one
which each horse owner must, largely,
work out for himself. /"T.:'
We have found it not only economical
but good policy to fed the young horse
q moderate quantity of corn, about one
fifth Of the ration, but we always feed
cracked corn and thus avoid any serious
bowel troubles. However, we learned
after some years Of experimenting that
to get the best results from feeding q
ration in which cracked corn was used
we must feed more or less succulent
food. For this purpose we have used
root crops, q moderate amount OF silage
or Stoned clover hay, and had the best
results from the root crops. During the
summer we always permit the young
horses to get enough grass to supply the
green food needed to keep them in: good
condition.--Americ Tribune. :!
