TEACH HORSES BRAVERY.
Animal Is Capable Of Learning Al
most Anything, Say Expert

Expert horsemen believe that horse
can be taught to do anything that 1t IL
possible for an animal SO formed. and
to be utterly fearless. Thus, Of horses
rushing into battle with fearlessness
that is magnificent, although In the be-
ginning of their lives they may have
been foolishly timid, shying at every
thing unusual that happened to be seen
in their travels. "A
In order to teach q horse fearless
ness he must be accustomed to all sorts
of sights and sounds. He must come to
know that because something that he
sees or hears Is unusual 1t does not fol-
low that 1t is harmful. For 1t Is the un-
usual things that frighten him. The
horse is an animal OF one idea at time.
and is not able to discriminate, SO say
the men who have made study OF the
horse.
While he will travel along quietly close
by the roar of train he may tremble
at the dutter of piece of loose paper
flying in the wind. 1t is not the fright
fulness of the object that seems to alarm
him, but the unfamiliarity oft Horse
trainers say that the mistakes made in
breaking" and training colt Is that
1t Is too often done in the seclusion
Of some country road, instead Of amid
the sights and sounds that the animal
must necessarily become familiar with
later.
AS soon as the horse becomes familiar
with anything and has learned to believe
that it will not hurt him, he will stand
quietly or trot along peacefully, even
though all sorts of noises and queer
sights are about him. Thus the artil-
lery horse will stand amid the roar OF
cannon, being used to the noise and not
knowing that the sound predicts anguish
and death. 1t Is we'll to accustom a
horse to unusual sounds as soon as pos
sible after he is trained for riding or
driving. 1t renders him safe and docile,
even though he be spirited animal.
A certain trainer of horses said that
an ideal school for horses would con-
tain thrashing machines. pile drivers,
steam drills, electric, steam and elevated
cars, band of martial music and a
gang Of quarrymen blasting rocks. A
horse that was drilled among ouch a
bedlam as this would. indeed, prove i'm
mune to strange noises.

dalton need not be elaborate, just
that It keeps the stills on the ground
and away from moisture. For stills
2x6-inch pine may be used; for the
framework 2x4's Of almost any kind OF
durable material will answer. The
height Of posts is s feet. The roof be-
ing self supporting. It will be necessary
to mortise braces to the end posts to
hold them in place. The remaining part
of the framework should be con-
structed on the balloon frame princi-
pie.
The building should face either
east or west, so that windows can be
put in along the south side. Just in
side the door is an alley done OF
with wire netting so that to gather
eggs 1t is not necessary to disturb the
fowls. BIB are grain bins. The roosts
are done of from the remaining part
Of the house by matched stun. so that
durable material will answer. The
structure can be shut, making 1t warm
er for the fowls. Underneath the
roost is platform to catch all drop
pings. Z is q small exit for the fowls.
A building Of this size is none too
large to accommodate the average
flock, and should be found upon near
ly every farm. An end view OF the
house is shown in Fig. 2.

TOOK BOYS SUGGESTION.
Plowboy Came Ont Of the 1ield and
Told Railroaders How to Start
Stalled Engine.

A travelling man relates. that while rid
ing on the new orient line between Harper
and Anthony few days ago, one Of the
side rods of the engine broke, and the other
side stopped ON dead center, 60 that
when the repair was made il was impossible
70 start again. According to the Kansas
City Star he says: =.
"The engineer, the conductor and all
the passengers took turns going over the
thing and trying to devise a way to make
it run. Finally a boy came out Of the field
where he had been blowing to see what was
going on. He crawled through the wire
fence and sat down on the bank and famed
himself with his straw hat. If you'd back
that last car up the grade an let 'er come
down gerchunk, that 'ud start 'er, he final
ly suggested, deliberately.
THE railroad men shifted contemptuous-
ly, but the passengers sided with the boy.
Finally the conductor gave orders that the
rear car be uncoupled. No less than so pas
sengers. caught hold and pushed the car up
the grade. Once at the top the car was
let 60. The loose coach gained momentum
as II came down hill, and in spite OF the en-
gineer's admonition to let her come down
easy the emergency battering ram crashed
into the train with a tremendous thump.
The engine was bumped off center all

SOME SUGGESTIONS.

A yard or lawn always looks barren
without some choice ornamental trees
or shrubs.
The wisest course is to convert cheap
grain into meat before shipping 1t to
market. al
1t is much better to use for breeding
animals OF average size, smooth, round,
plump and intensely active and vigor-
Gus.
A wet place in field can often be
drained out with but little trouble and
expense, but II this is allowed to go
undone will spoil the field and ruin the
crops.

PRACTICAL POULTRY HOUSE
Building Which Is Ample to 40
commodate Two Hundred
Fowls.

When constructing poultry house
for the farm flock, the main point to
be observed is to secure as much
floor space as possible at the least
cost. The real value of a structure
OF this nature depends mostly upon
the floor area for the use of the fowls,
says l.. c. Reynolds. In Orange Judd

portion to the number of fowls, the
better opportunity they have to exer-

SHELTER ON COLD NIGHTS
Horses Injured by Exposure to Cold
and Storms During the
Winter.

1t is bad practice to leave horses out
in cold and storms, thinking that 1t
toughens them. A neighbor does this
for a regular thing. Last winter he let
four horses have the run Of a meadow.
with an open shed for shelter. and q hay
stack for food. He reasoned that they
could get some grass when there was no
snow, and the cold weather would freeze
out all disease and tougher them up for
summer. The weather froze the dis
eases out of two Of them, also the life,
while a third horse died shortly after
work began in spring.
After frosty nights become the rule,
the horse should be housed at night
and turned out in the day. Be especial
ly careful to keep him sheltered from
the first cold storms in the fall, when
his vitality is apt to be below par.
With most farmers this Is one OF the
busiest times of the year, and many
find It next to impossible to groom the
horses as well as they should be. An
authority has said: zone currying Is
equal to two quart of oats" 1t certain

condition when shedding his coat. The
loose hair is Irritating to the skin and is
one of the chief causes Of rubbing at
this season. Besides, the friction Of the
currycomb is a great stimulant to the
organs, removes the dandruf and aids
a quick, healthy shedding Of the coat.
This Is always seen to in the case Of
horses for the show ring. the race track
and the fire departments. It should not
be entirely neglected with the faithful
old farm horse.-J. A. Dobie, In Farm
