Care of the Farm Horse.

During the busy months of the year
farmers are anxious to get all the work
possible out of their horses, which is
proper enough. Food alone will not do
the trick. A horse may be fed the
best of rations. but he needs care in
addition, so try these things which
NAV seem simple. but which Will do a
great deal toward making the horse
contented and more valuable to YOU.
Keep his coat clean, not only by
brushing and the use of the comb, but
use water on him freely, especially
during the warm period. When his
work for the day is done take n sponge
and wash each part of his coat where
the harness touched. II his muscles
are sore take equal parts OF iodine and
sweet oil, mix them and rub the mix
ture well into the joints and tcndons.
Wash out his mouth occasionally and
take care Of his feet. Above all, in
warm weather see that his stable is
well ventilated and that screens are
placed so that vermin are kept from
annoying him. In watering the horse
let him have it before eating and also
a small supply between meals, even
if he is warm. It viii not hurt him
unless YOU give him too much.

Pork Making.

One OF the features of the pig, which
is not sufficiently appreciated, is Its

two young annually, the pig may pro-

enormous percentage of increase. 70

increasingly, as far as one chooses to
go. Economy would dictate, then, that

Summer Stnnds of Bees.

The most critical time for the bee
keeper is after the bees have been
brought out Of winter quarters. From
the time they are set out until set
tied warm weather great care must
be exercised in attending to their
wants If bees are to secure a good
crop of honey. This is the season in
which bees are least able to care for
themselves. 1t must be borne in mind
that they are all on the shady side"
of life, and that their vitality has been
greatly impaired by their long con
hncment to the hive, so that they are
not In condition to endure much hard
ship without serious loss; and the loss
Of one bee in spring Is equal to three
or four later In the season. When the
colonies are put on the summer stands
see that they have enough honey on
hand to last Mt least two weeks, and
be careful that there are no cracks
or openings for the warm air to es-
cape. Contract the entrance OF hives
down TO two inches or to suit the size
OF the colony. In case OF very weak
colonies It may be well to give an en-
trance OF not much more than bee

Buff OrpiuRtou Breed.

For many years the one desire OF
the practical poultryman has been to
obtain a breed which would equal the
Leghorn in egg production and the

that breed and certainly it has done
wonders since its Introduction into this
country from England. The fowls
