Here is some sensible advice from o
good farmer who grows draft horses
He says:
What / have to say on this subject
is intended to apply to the common
horse raiser-thc farmer. 1t is just
as necessary in all classes of business
TO know what not 10 do as it is tc
know what to do, horsebreeding not
excepted. The horse for the farmer
is the draft-bred horse. He is the only
horse than can be raised by the farmer
with little trouble and expense. He
is in reach of almost every farmer in
the country. 1t is n profitable business
on tie farm TO raise q few good colts
| say good colts, for it is just as easy
TO raise good ones as poor ones. 1t is
just as easy to raise good horses as
good cattle or good sheep or hogs. 1t
does not pay to raise poor ones-leave
that for the other fellow. The farmers
that raise good stock of any kind are
the men that select good sires. Select
sire from one of the pure breeds of
draft horses. Percheron, Shire or Bel
gan, it matters but little which breed
1t is only a matter of choice to the
breeder himself. Be sure and sire a
good individual. The better the dam
the better the result. Always breed
their produce TO pure bred sire of
the same breed. In very short time
your mares are all alike and of the
same type and disposition, all bearing
4 family resemblance. You will not
have the disposition of tho broncho in
one and the trottlng horse in the other,
but you will have class of horses
that are easily handled, easily fitted
for the market and an everyday mar
liet ut home and abroad.-Indiana

Pulling Hardhack.

pulled hardhack out by hand the
first part of August, 1900, and have not
hand any trouble with il since.
My view is that if pulled in August
when the ground is dry, what roots
are left in the ground vii. not sprout.
But If pulled in the spring or perhaps
late in the fall, what roots are left
will srTout and come up thicker than
ever. There was not very large
amount of this weed in my pastures.
1 think in some places the largest
bushes would have to be pulled with q
team.
l cannot very well tell how much it
would cost, as it varies so much in diff
ferent fields, but it does not cost so
much that one could not afford to do
the work. l think it can be killed
by moving two or three years, for
the reason that we never see it in our
meadows that we moved every year.

Experience with Celery.

If only one variety can be grown,
Golden Self-Blanchlng; If two, Golden
-Blanching for early and Winter
Queen for late and early spring. For
winter storage in the North, I know
of no more convenient or better way
than to use boxes, placing the celery
rs closely together as possible. with
all the soil left on the roots in the
boxes, and all placed in the darkest
corner of cellar. The roots should be
kept moist by occasionally pouring
water along edge of boxes, pressing the
celery tops back so as not to wet them
1t will then tlanch finely and keep
till April if cellar is not too warm.

Her First AppeRrance.

1t was at the mature age of three
that Mrs. Kendal-then Madge Robert
son-made her first appearance on
the stage. The theatre was the Mary
lebone in London. then under the man.
agement of her father. and the play
was THE Seven Poor Travellers"
Her part was that of blind child,
and at the rehearsals it had been i'm
pressed upon her that she must keep
her eyes shut in order that the audi
ence should think she could not see.
Under the circumstances" says a
writer, "lt need hardly be said that
the first thing she did on going on the
stage was 10 open her eyes as widely
rs she could. Sitting in the front row
of the pit, which then corresponded to
the boxes, Baby Madge' saw a

Utilizing Old Orchnrda.

There are many farms In the country
well suited to sheep raising which are
not used for that purpose because their
owners raise other crops which are pro-
fitable. During recent trip the writer
passed through section where sheep
were being raised In old orchards. and
he promptly left the train to investi-
gate. 1t was found that orchards in
this section had been planted about the
same time. ard while they We're still
bearing good fruit. sthey were fast
nearing an age when they would be no
longer profitable. New orchards had
been set. but instead of abandoning the
old orchards the ground had been seed
ed down and turned into fine pastures
for sheep. which were doing finely.
Not only this. but II was found that the
orchards had taken on new life, and
were making profit for their owners.
There is point In this worth any
ones attention under similar condi-
tions. In some sections sheep raisers
make business of seeding down and
pasturing their orchards. and while
there may be some question as to the
wisdom OF this plan with compare
lively young and thrifty orchard. there
can be no doubt as to its value in cases
like that indicated. s

Icemnn Wouldn,t Trust.

An extra piece of ice was wanted,

house wherewlth to pay for the desired

"Well, never mind" said mamma
"you run out. Blanche. and get a

Now Blanche was not accustomed to
dealing on credit. and did not take
kindly to the idea. but was moving
very slowly TO do her mothers bidding
when some words In large letters on
the top of the wagon attracted her at.

ArticIlOlxes.

A Benton County subscriber asks for
information regarding artichokes and
their cultivation. He wants to grow
them for his hogs. They should be
planted early in the spring, as early
as the ground can be put in proper con-
ditiOn, and the planting and cultivation
are much the same as for potatoes.
Pieces of the tubers are dropped in
rows, three feet apart, and foot or
more apart in the row. Cultivate
shallow and often, till the stalks shade
the ground well enough to prevent
weeds from growing. \ peck ought
10 plant half an acre, and If the land
is rich the yield should be between 200
and 400 bushels per acre. But, as the
hogs do the digging, you will have to
guess at the yield.
This much can be said, however, that
plenty of tubers will be left to seed
the ground again after the hogs have
done their best. Artichokes are hard
to get rid of when once rooted in the
soil, but for the purpose you want
them that is no objectlon.-Indiana

the same as the first one. The nrt o.
dyeing, too, has been brought to state
of perfection never known before. and
communication between the silk work
ers of the world is so rapid that dis
covery made by one is soon known to
all the others. The reason so many
modern silks do not wear is because
they are adulterated to mect the de-
mand for chelpness. their wear ability
being in exact proportion to the amount
of silk they contain.

To get the best prices for eggs ono
must not buy them TO sell, but must
have enough hens to supply the de-
mand. All eggs should be collected
daily, and should not be allowed to re-
main unsold for over twenty four hours.
No stale nest eggs should be used, and
every precautlon must be taken that
each customer may never be disap-
pointed. When the confidence of Gus
toners is secured, the matter of good
prices will be settled, MS the majority
of persons are willing to pay any price
when they know that the eggs pur-
chased are fresh. No one can make a
speciality of supplying fresh eggs un-
less he carefully avoids those eggs
found in stolen nests or in out-of-the.
way places. The reputation for supply.
ing choice fresh eggs must be made, and
no mistakes must occur at any time,
as a single bad egg will deteriorate
the whole in value. Those who pay
extra high prices are not always judges
of the quality of eggs, but they have
faith and reliance In him who supplies
them.-Farm and Flreslde.

Children's little red REFERS are again
in favor. Russian blouses are made
In this brilliant color. and with these
are worn white kid or black patent
leather belts. Some of the blouses are
trimmed In green, others in black cloth
and velvet. Red is also popular In
linen dresses. The new sweaters are
buttoned at the back. In these, too,
red is in the lead. White is also called
for, but 1t spoils easily. and is not so
well adapted for children's wear.

Commercial Poultry says: 1.-THE

has been produced by no particular
care in breeding or any judicious GULL
ing on the part of her owner. She is

1t is utterly impossible for her to pro-
duce anything any better or worse than
herself. In the phase of the school
boy, she's it. She is much sought

supply this much alone only enables
it to continue life, but does not APP
pease the appetite which Graves still

tenance requirements is supplied the
steer converts some Of the surplus into
fat and stores II away among the

about the viscera. says Field and Farm,
This fat is fuel in the animal economy
for which nature shows an eaSerness

certain amount against the time OF
need When first put on full feed
the steer gains rapidly in fat, gratifying
the feeder rs the increase is reported
by the scales. After n few months
however. the appetite loses its keen
edge, and the steer shows a daintiness
not exhibited at first when taking food.
If placed on the scales from time &c
time smaller and smaller gains are
shown each day. The fattenlng pro
cess may be likened to Initiating a
| bicycle tire or n football with air. The
operation Is rapid and easy at first
but becomes more and more difficult
until the limit is reached. The steer
finally reaches the point where 1t shows
no gain whatever. although consum'
ing considerable feed. 1t has been
fattened to the limit, and retrogression
Is soon evident. The wise feeder,
recognizing these conditions, aims tc
feed cattle rapidly and as soon as they
are in acceptable condition disposes
of them without delay.
