The horse is one Of the most useful
animals on the farm and should re-
ceive the farmers best attention, says
Midland Farmer. The kind of a horse
to keep depends largely upon the kind
Of farm and the kind Of farming that
Is pursued. But 1t would be safe to say
that under most circumstances q heavy
horse Is to be preferred, one weighing
from 1,40O to 1000 pounds. Generally
the farmers horse has to do all kinds
Of work and should be at least 800
pounds lighter than in the above case.
II the farmer is raising horses to sell
heavy horse will, as a rule, sell for
more money. 1t is a mistake for the
average farmer to try to raise road
horses to sell, because he will not pro-
duce an animal that can be sold for as
much money.
The farm team should be fast walk
ers. This will help to solve the labor
problem. One man with a fast team
can do almost as much in one day as
two men with slow horses. We never
could see any pleasure in farming with
plug horses" and the boy who is sent
to the field with team Of plug
horses Is pretty apt to learn how to
swear and will be quite likely to study
theology, medicine or law. It costs no
more to maintain good horse than a
poor one, and the good horse makes
life easier for its own. 1t is a poor
practice to buy horses at farm auc-
tons. You may get one cheap, but in
the long run it is apt to be expensive

TALLY destroyed by fire on the
morning Of January %. 1t is
about midway between Warren
and the head OF Smith creek,
and was formerly run by Jack
Sheaffer. A number OF men were
stopping there at the time and it
required heroic efforts to save any
of the building. A number of the
fire fighters are reported more or
less burned. The roof and upper
floor were almost totally destroyed
and the loss will probably reach in
the neighborhood of $500.

Teach Horses to Walk Fast.
The walk of a young horse is large.
" Influenced by the driver. Even on
the farm, If you put a horse into the
care Of slow, idle man, and If a
young horse Is driven by a slow, care
less man anything like a considerable
time, the animal will acquire a habit
Of slow motion that will be difficult to
overcome. In a majority of cases a
slow trailing gait makes really harder
work for the horse. A moderately quick
walk with at least all ordinary farm
work exhausts the animal less than a
slow, poky gait.
Success with Brood Mares.
In the Rural New Yorker there is an
article about raising colts. We have
had little experience on this farm In
that line, but can report better success
than Mr. Morse seems to have had,
says a correspondent, writing from
Lancaster, Mass. We have two mares
which have been bred three or four
times each. One is strong, steady 60
Ing horse used principally for gener-
al driving horse, but often put to farm
work during the busy season on the
farm. Three days after her second colt
was born she was taken out to cult
vate and was used moderately from
that time on, allowing the colt to get
Its milk every three hours. She is
driven usually to within about two
weeks Of the time her colts are born
and Is never thin. The other mare is
simply a gentleman's driving horse.
She is high spirited and very swift, be-
Ing partly Wilkes" and is used scarce
~ any on the farm. She is rather poor
after her colts are born, but she Is
driven within month before they are
born, and l should say within two
weeks after they are born. Comparing
our experience with that Of Mr.. Morse,
should say there is much difference
In mares. If they all did as well as
ours l think farmers might easily raise
their own horses. | think I could give
a number Of instances In this section
where farmers have had Just as good
success as we have.
Train Young Horses with Old Ones.
SO far as conditions will permit, a
young horse that Is being trained for
work should be worked with an older
animal that has been trained to move
reasonably quick. as he will not only
be more valuable animal, but prove
more profitable to his owner.
