Having bred horse of this class
then how shall we sell him? why,
we will not have to consider this ques-
ton at all, for they will sell themsel-
yes. The man who will breed this
kind of stock in any locality need
never fear lack of market for the
time will never come when such
horses as these, if clean of limb, of
good action and life will not be in
demand, and that too, at profitable
prices.
And also, these good horses will do
better work upon the farm. They
will, as I have already said be found
profitable for the market, and best of
all they will make the farm work
more pleasant, and thus, as you will
find, will have an influence in keeping
the boys contented on the farm.
Now for the farmer in any other Sec
ton equally well adapted to the growth
of this class of strong, vigorous and
hardy horses 1 have indicated, who is
looking about for some profitable ad-
junct upon his dairy farm to add to
the resources, I believe horse breed
ing, if intelligently directed, offers
better advantages today than almost
any other line of work.

that time will never come. Neither
will the automobile nor any other
means of locomotion No, the time
will never come when the class of
horses demanded in the best markets
will not be grown with profit Euro
peans are looking to this country for
horses, for we can grow better horses
than anywhere else, and while some
other parts of our country can grow
them equally we'll as we can here in
the West, that territory is limited
and nowhere can they grow them bet
ter than here.
One of the greatest troubles with
our breeders is we have been breeding
from unsound or vicious horses. 1ne
saying of Paul, Whatsoever man
soweth, that snail he reap" is as true
today as when uttered, and nowhere
is it more true than in the breeding
of horses.
The different types of horses may
be divided into four classes: The
heavy draft horse, the heavy coach
or carriage horse, the trOtting horse
and the general purpose horse. And
the successful breeder must hew close
to the line and confine himself to one
breed.
First as to the trotting horse,
wouldn't let boy and a trotting bred
colt grow upon the same farm, for
would expect it to prove the ruin of
the boy, and between the boy and the
horse l will take the boy every time.
So we will cut the trotting horse
right out of this question The gen
eral purpose horse, too, will not be
found profitable, for the class COM
monty known as general purpose
horses, are too light for profit.
So now we are left to the heavy
draft horse, and the heavy coach and
and carriage horse. What shall we
breed then? | think we will find
every merit in heavy draft horses in
three breeds: the Clydesdale, the Per
cheron and the Shire; and for coach
horses. | would also confine myself to
three breeds: the French coach, the
Hackney, the German or Gutenberg
coach AS to the weight of the form
er, I would have one weighing about
/ 400 lbs, and in the coach horses a
Some one will say these heavy horses
ground or on the farm but there was
never a greater mistake.
Now, how shall we breed them, and
what time of the year? | believe
with a spring colt, it is much better
to keep the colt in good box stall
than to allow it to follow the mare
when working her. But | believe
though that fall bred colts are greatly
preferable. The colt should be fed
literally and intelligently, and begin
by feeding some grain when quite
young. Feed at first with regular
but moderate feelings of ground oaUs

the value in the same milk as if
hauled the average of six miles to
the creamery in all kinds of weather
and then hauled back. 1t enables him
to care for a large amount of milk
in comparatively small space, and, if
properly managed, it enables him to
get all the butter fat out of his milk.
We say eff properly managed" for
much depends upon the management
of the machine.
Our readers generally understand
the principles of what is called the
farm separator. 1t is made for just
one purpose, that of skimming milk,
which it does wholly by what is called
centrifugal force. 1t enters the
swiftly turning bowl The heavier
parts, the skim milk, because they are
heavy are thrown to the outside,
while the fat globules are forced into
the center The skim milk rises like
a rim around the cream which is in
the center.
To handle this separator properly
it must be put on solid foundation.
If it shakes while it is Swimming the
work will be poorly done. The mo-
ton of the bowl, therefore, must be
true and the speed must be uniform
and sufficient to separate. Therefore
if you are to get any good out of
your separator you must set it on
firm foundation, set it absolutely
level, and keep it clean and well oiled
with a thin, light OIL If you use

wear out in a year. whereas if it is
set firm and true kept clean it will
last for years and years especially II
when not in use it is kept covered to
keep out dust.
Another thing essential to the
proper handling of the cream sepa-
rator is that the crank, whether
turned by hand or by power of some
kind, have given speed at all times
with an equal pressure on the crank
at all points in it's circuit The boy
or man who turns the crank up
slowly and down fast won't do good
Swimming The boy or man who
turns slowly at one time and fast at
another will do poor work. Instruc-
tions are given with these machines
as to the speed with which they
should be run, the number of turns
the crank should make in a given
time. Now, the only way to do is TO
see what the rules say, and then
count the turns of the crank in
given time by the watch. Don't guess
at it. Guessing is lazy, poor business
in anything, when with a nttle
trouble you can know certainly just
as well as not We mention this be-
cause we fear that good many Oh
our readers are not getting satisfac-
tory results from their farm sepa-
rators. The main reason why they
don't is that they don't follow direc-
tions, but guess at things that they
ought to know.

practice is to have the females in fair
flesh and also gaining at breeding.
Our boars run in lots 40X50 feet ordi-
narily; but where they are inclined
to become fat and also lazy we place
them in large lots with the young,
restless pigs and thus induce them to
take more exercise. The feed of the
male consists of shorts, clover, hay
and milk, if we have it, with roots
and green feed in summer and winter
The sows receive small amount of
grain in connection with the above
mentioned feeds in winter. The sows
may run together for time after
breeding. 1t is necessary, however, to
see that they do not overcrowd or cuff
about certain timid or less rugged
ones. After a time it is desirable to
separate them, putting two together
until near narrowing time, when each
should have a separate bed.
We feed sows literally up to within
few days of narrowing time; then
cut the feed down, bringing them
back to feed gradually, SO that by the
time the pigs are ten days or two
weeks old the sow is giving a full
flow of milk.
While the pigs are on milk is very
important period in their lives, and
much may be gained by giving careful
attention to the feeding of the dam.
Young pigs are tender, helpless
things, consequently they need warm,
dry and open quarters and a comfort
able bed which is not exposed to wind
The more sunlight they get the bet
ter.
One of the greatest leaks we have in
the hog business is in the loss of pigs
at narrowing time. Much can be done
to stop this loss or leak by giving at
tention to feed, shelter and bedding.
AS stated above it is absolutely neces-
sary that the young pigs bed be dry
if the best results are to be obtained.
In cases where the SOW is heavy
mixer and the pigs scour, we feed the
dam blood meal This has been very
efficient in checking the trouble. After
the pigs are old enough we give crack
ed grain over the floor and thus en-
courage them to eat as early as pos
sible Green feeds, such as clover, al
falfa, oats and peas and rye make the
dam and litter thrifty and supplement
the grain ration. The aim should be
to keep the sows in good flesh while
sucking, as it is profitable both from
the standpoint of the litter and the eff
feet on the mother.
After ten or twelve weeks the pigs
should be weaned. At this time milk,
if available will be valuable along
with the grain and other feed, and,
while it may not be possible with
some to do it, grading or sorting the
pigs will be profitable where one is
handling a considerable number. We
ordinarily make three grades, putting
all of the heaviest in one, the medium
in a second and the small ones in an
other. This prevents the larger pigs
from cheating and also crOwding the
weaker ones, and this is to be COM
mended The growing pigs should
have sufficient protein in their food
for the production of good bone and
strong frames and it is essential that
they be pushed to maturity as rapidly
as possible.
When it comes to marketing uni
formity in type and finish is import
ant, and as a general rule the fat hog
with broad fat back and good hams
is in demand at a premium.-J. ID.

They Not Only Do the Homework,
but Pillow the Fields.
The sewing in the kimono consists of
one small and one long stitch, Il species
Of artistic basting There is reason in
this, for whenever the kimono is wash
ed it is ripped to pieces. This Is per-
haps why the Japanese, who battle
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes,
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap, scrubbed with brush and
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards, One of the sights OF a town
are these boards, with their strips Of
silk leaning against the sides Of the
houses.
I The peasant women not only do the
housework, but out Of door work as
well. Like the coolies, they wear trou-
sers and stand knee deep in the slush
OF the rice paddles, guide the water
buffaloes at the pillow or bind up the
straw to dry on the trees. This is the
Japanese idea of haystack and makes
the trees look as If they were wearing
skirts.
One Of the novel sights is the old
women mowers, clipping the lawns
with scissors as neatly as lawn
mower and stopping now and then
to gossip over their tea. Both In China
and japan the tending of silkworms
Ia not only done by women, but is re-
