Horse Raising on the Farm.

Horses are and have for some time
past been selling for good prices. and
the indications are that all the horses
that our farmers can raise will be re-
quired at prices that will pay them
well provided they raise the right kind.
The heavy draft horse is the most likely
to prove profitable for the average
farmer to raise There are several
reasons why | make this statement:
l. The heavy mare is most suitable
for the average work on the farm.
.. The heavy colt can be broken into
work and will earn his keep at Il young
er age.
8. The work on the farm is we'll suit
ed to fit a heavy horse for future use
fitness when sold to 90 into our large
towns ana cities for dray purposes.
t. There are few farmers who have
time and experience to raise more than
one out of ten li@ht horses that is
really first class. ana even then they are
not likely to get what it is worth; but
some dealer is likely to reap much the
greater prOiit.-J. Gardhouse.

suitable dimensions near the press and
poured twelve to fifteen pals of warm
water over it. Afer soaking for half
an hour we shoveled it into the press
and pressed it in the usual way. The

into a vat fitted with a coil of steam

years :. A. Forbes. Illinois state on

working on corn insects in general and
on practical methods Of controlling
these pests In Il recent study of such
species of corn bill bugs as breed in
grasses ii was found that in badly :n-
tested timothy from 30 to - per cant
of the timothy bulbs We're injured to
some extent. In fields which had been
in timothy only two years the bulbs
were infested to the extent of - TO 20
per cent. 1t was found that at least 33
per cent of the hills Of corn infested
with these insects failed to form ears
or filled out imperfectly. some fields
yielding only twenty to forty-iiye bush
els per acre where the yields should
have been eighty bushels. In some To-
calities as high as 90 per cent of the
hills of corn were quite badly injured.

EARLY Enll plOyNin q.

The observations made on corn bill
bugs showed clearly a great contrast
in the extent of infestation between
corn grown on timothy and plowel oar
~ in the fall and that plOWcd only a
few days before planting. y direct
test of the value of fall blowing in the
control of these insects showed that
the injury from corn bill bugs is due
almost entirely to planting corn after
timothy and upon spring ploWing and
conversely it appeared that the injury
could be effectively prevented by early
fall blowing of the timothy sod. All
insecticide methods of this kind recon-
mend themselves incidentally to farm
ers. since tbs practice of fall plowing
may be beneficial from a cultural stand
point and is easy of application.
DisI1ing Destroys iphides.
For the corn root aphid Il success
full cultural remedy has been found.
As may he generally known, this insect.
like many other aphides. is cared for
by certain species Of ants. The ants
construct their nests in the soil ana
care for the aphidcS the year round.
On one farm it was found that where
the soil was diskcd three times and har-
