WORK FOR YOUNG HORSES
Many Mistakes Are Made in This Di-
rection by Farmers Who Ought
to Know Better,

It may be considered that a horse IL
fairly termed young until it is eight
years old, and after that it ought tc
be expected to accomplish any reason.
able amount of work asked of it with
out injury. l often think we are in.
clined to ask too much of your young
horses; we work them too hard with the
same effect that working children toe
hard has: it stunts their growth and
prevents them from accomplishing what
they should when they reach maturity
Feeding young horses is one of the Sc
rious problems of farm work and one
which each horse owner must, largely
work out for himself.
We have found it not only economical
but good policy to fed the young horse
a moderate quantity of corn, about one
fifth Of the ration, but we always feed
cracked corn and thus avoid any serious
bowel troubles. However, we learned
after some years Of experimenting that
to get the best results from feeding a
ration in which cracked corr was used
we must feed more or less succulent
food. For this purpose we have used
root crops, a moderate amount of silage
or Stoned clover hay, and had the best
results from the root crops. During the
summer we always permit the young
horses to get enough grass to supply the

About Unfinished Sections.

After the honey flow has stopped the
unfinished sections that only have a
little honey in them will soon be
cleaned up by the bees without destroy
ing the comb, If covered up near the
hives, leaving room for only n bee
to go in or out. When given a larger
entrance they destroy the combs, which
are worth saving for starters next sea-
son. When there are many sections
not capped over, or half filled or more,
they may be sold at a reduced price, or
converted into liquid honey by melt
ing slowly. After cooling remove the
cake of wax. A warm, dry, sunny place
where the temperature stays around the
nineties is an ideal place for storing
honey. Cold and dampness cause honey
to become watery and sour.-Ohio

Measuring Sunshine.

Sunshine is SO rare in England that
the government takes great care to
measure it. The official summing up for
1903 as regards sunshine shows that all
districts in the British Isles, with one
exception, fell short of the average. The
exception was England northwest, In
GLIDING Manchester, that c~uriously had
an excess of 81 sunny hours. In Scot
land north, west and east the deficit
was 81 hours, 4S hours and 1873 hours
England northeast and east were short
by 107 hours and 139 hours, while In
England south and southwest the deficit
was So hours and 115 hours. The Mid
lands were behind by SO hours. In Ire
land north and south the shortage was
81 hours and 113 hours. Commonly the
islands in the English channel have {
large share Of sunshine, but last veal
they went short by 1876 sunny hours

Scrubs Eat Their Heads OFF.

That scrub animals will waste large
amounts of feedstuffs, was shown in
a feeding test conducted at the Ten
nessee station. A bunch of animals of
good breed and antecedents were fed
for beef and gained two and a half
pounds per day, while so-called
scrubs" under the same conditions
gained only one and a half pounds, a
difference of one pound per day. The
effect of breeding, blood and eonforma-
ton is instanced in another feeding test
where certain beef steers gained only
As pounds in 60 days, while others un-
der similar conditions gained 125
pounds in the same period. This goes
to show that it does not pay to feed a
poor animal. Weed out the scrubs"

and which has probably not been printed

When Mr.. Reed was in California he visited
the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton.
1t was a wonderful November day. full of
gold and the bloom of flowers. MI. Reed
looked down at the gorgeous landscape 1000
feet below, and turned to one of his hosts,
he said:

to the trill of the meadow-lark among the
almond blooms.
He began to describe it eloquently: "Thir-

he paused to arrange his account Of the
roses and the meadow-lark. Mr.. Reed broke
the pause.
"Well, colonel" he said. in admiration,
you do know something about cleanliness
out here, don't you?"

THE BIBLE WAS MUCH USED
There Was No Baby Chair in the
House and It Served a
Good Purpose.

A minister of one of the leading congre-
cations of this city was recently making a
call on one Of the prominent members Of
his flock and was greeted at the door by the
hve-year-old daughter of the house, who was
doing the honors as hostess in the absence
OF her mother, relates the Philadelphia
Press. Spying "a well-worn family Bible near
at hand, the minister commented on the
tact that there must be a good father in the
house, which contained proof of having used
the Bible to SO great an extent.
Oh yes said the child, papa has us on
"Indeed?'' replied the parson. "How edi.
Tying. And, pray, what INES does your
good father call upon this gl.ad volumne?'
ALWAYS at meal times" answered the
radiant daughter. "You know, we never
had a baby chair in the house, so pa just sits
the Bible on a dining-room chair and that
makes it just high enough for us children
My baby brother Jim sat on it this morning.
We all had our turn at it."

Barbed Wire Fence Must Go.

The barbed wire fence is a thing
that should 60 out Of every community.
If there is any excuse for its use at all,
1t is found on the western ranges,
where vast areas Of lands have to be
fenced that do not belong to the mar

settled communities 1t is Objectionable.

THE BIG FISH GOT AWAY
Goshen, Ind, Man Declares Monster
Had Jaws as Large as the
Head of a Barrel.

George Defrees, a painter of Goshen.
Ind, is not a topper, and his reputation
for truth and ~veracity in the neighbor.
hood where he resides is excellent.
Therefore when he tells the story of
a monstrous fish he saw in Wolf lake
the story may be accepted without
doubt. Mr.. Defrees is a former sailor,
and there is little chance of his eyes
deceiving him.
He was fishing on Wolf lake, north
east of the city, and had a fine catch Of
blue gills and bass. These he had
hanging over the edge of the boat in a
sack. Imagine his horror and amaze
ment when the water began to roll, and
from the depths of the lake he saw ris.
ing through the clear water a mon.
strous fish, with jaws as large as the
head Of a barrel. The animal Or fish
showed its head several inches out of
the water and seized the bag of fish.
Its sharp teeth cut through the bag like
a knife. Mr.. Defrees has half Of the
sack to show how it was bitten in two
by the sea monster.
Mr.. Defrees says that he has seen
similar fish in the ocean, but cannot
remember what they are called. He
says he would like to catch this mem
Der Of the whale tribe, but would pre-
fer to do it from something other than
a small rowboat. He describes the fish
as being fully ten feet in circumfer.
ence and six feet long. 1t had a large
head and very big mouth.
There are several places in Wolf
lake where bottom cannot be found,
and 1t may be that in the great depths
this monster king Of the tribe makes
his home.

Horses Thrive Best on Oats.

That oats make a better feed for the
horse than corn, especially in spring
Is generally conceded. The corn has
an overbalance of heat forming mate
rial, which gives him a great surplus Of
fuel to be changed into energy. But
there must be muscle on which to ex-
ercise the energy or 1t cannot be used
Corn produces too little muscle. With
oats the balance is more nearly equa'
and the energy and the muscle or
which to exercise the energy are II
about the proper proportions. For this
reason the farmer is able to get more
work out of ten pounds Of oats thar
out of ten pounds Of corn.-Farmers
