Big Horses Sell Best.

The call is for big horses and plenty of
size is among the principal qualities sought
for in all classes of horses, be it hunter,
harness horse or cart horse. 1t is trite
saying among horsemen that good big
horse will always beat good little one,
and it certainly holds good in so far as con-
Germs the market value of horses. The
fact of horse possessing plenty of size rem
ders it more readily salable, as we'll as more
valuable Two inches more or less in the
height of horse may make all the diff
ference to breeder between a profitable
sale. Mere height at the withers alone
dose not constitute what is really meant by
''size'- at any rate, not from the breed
er's point of view. Size means bigness
generally, height being combined with a
corresponding degree of substance; and in
the case of cart horses. of weight. When
horse is merely tall, having plenty of
height at the withers, but lacks the requi-
site substance and bigness of build, being
unduly legy or weedy, it will not impress
buyer favorably, but the reverse.

COOLING MILK.
To Keep It Sweet From Saturday
Night to Monday Morning.

Where milk is not taken to the creamery
or cheese factory on Sunday to keep it on
the farm from Saturday night to Monday
morning in warm weather so as to have it
sweet when it finally reaches the factory is
a difficult problem, but an important one,
especially if the milk is intended for cheese
making Apropos of this difficulty the
following instructions of Canadian diary
expert are reproduced from the Ottawa
Journal:
The only cooling agents to be had by
the farmer are ice and cold water, and
every intelligent dairy farmer who wants to
send sweet milk on Monday morning
should have a supply of ice and know how
to use it. The quickest way to cool milk
is to have it flow in thin layers over cold
surface, but this is generally not practical
to farmer.
PRACTICAL METHOD.
The method | advise to patrons in my
district is as follows A tank or trough of
some kind is required to hold cold water,
and in this water the cans containing the
milk are placed. Each pailful as 1t Is
drawn from the COW is strained into these
cans, which should not be too large. By
the time all the milking is done the milk
will be fairly cool, but the water will have
become warmed and will have to be run off
and more cold water put on in its place.
This should put the temperature down to
55 degrees, but renew the water as often
as necessary. All the work then required
is to stir the milk occasionally in order to
insure a uniform temperature throughout.
If you have ice to put in the water you can
see how much better it will be and how
much labor it will save you.
AFTER COOLING.
When the milk is cooled cover the cans
with a clean, wet blanket, one end of which
is left in water and, acting as wick, aids
in maintaining the cool temperature and
also prevents the cream from drying. If
you have a we'll or spring to set the cans
in they will answer the purpose WELL but
be sure to stir the milk at intervals while
it is cooling, so that the center will not re-
main warm and the outer parts only be
cooled.
Again, let me say cool the milk just as
soon as possible after drawing it from the
COW to below So degrees, keep it there
until it is time to send it to the factory on
Monday morning. Do not add Sunday
mornings milk to that of Saturday night
unless it has been first cooled to as cold a
temperature as that of the night milk.

Minister Harvester Eats on 13c a.
Day.

The Rev. Jacob Kurtz, the New York
"housetop Evangelist" has returned to
Waynesboro, Pa, from Shady Grove,
where he spent week in the harvest field
and lived during that time at cost of not
more than thirteen and one-quarter cents
day. He bound behind cradles, shocked
and raked wheat and kept up with all
other harvesters.
Here is his bill of fare daily:
Milk (skimmed )-One pint each meal;
cost per day, Z cent.
Bread-Three slices stale bread, each
half an inch thick, each meal; cost per
day. cents.
Coffee-Half- cup each meal; cost per
day, II cents.
Jelly-Two tablespoonfuls each meal;
cost ] cent.
This makes total of 81 cents day,
and the Rev. Mr.. Kurtz says it covered
all the necessities.
He, however, ate few more things
because they were forced upon him. For
instance, he ate two eggs each meal at some
places. The cost of this (farm price) was
6 cents day. Occasionally he eat piece
of pie worth l cent. But, he SAys, he
did not need any of these luxurie so the
outside cost of his food remair 1t i34 cts.
