The Coach Horse,

A horseman of experience COM
mends the coach horse as a class in
good demand at profitable prices al
ways, and says that carriage horse
should be able to pull weight and
have endurance enough to continue
at fair rate of speed. The demands
of the times call for true natural ac-
ton. Boots and weights are imprac-
ticable, unsightly and inconvenient
for use on the public highway. More
over, the action should be pure and
frictionless Horses for pleasure use
in the great cities must possess cour-
age and great endurance.
While speed is very desirable
quality, the breeder should not sac
rifice size for it. The ordinary farm
er will hardly profit by breeding
horses for speed purposes only. What
he wants is a saleable animal or
horse of general utility, and a horse
to be generally useful and the class
that command the longest prices are
those that belong to the carriage
type. AS aforesaid, If the farmers
and small breeders can evolve a type
of horses with nice conformation, a
fair rate OF speed, with plenty of sub
stance and size for pulling weight,
and to this add endurance and game
ness, they will find horse breeding a
most profitable and useful industry,

A Good Cellar or Gave.

One of the handiest cellars or
caves have ever seen was construct
ed in the following manner: cyl
indrical hole was dug into the ground
at the desired spot about eight feet
in diameter and three feet deep, the
dirt being thrown just outside the
circumference line. Then the well
shaped excavation was walled with
brick laid in mortar and brought to
an apex at the desired height above
the surface of the earth. AS 1t eX-
tended above the ground the dirt was
drawn to it and covered it to the
desired depth. In the apex was
placed an air tube, which could be
opened or closed at pleasure. The
door was constructed nearest the
dwelling house. Up to this was fitted
a frame work, which was enclosed,
the outside door being made to fit
closely, in order to keep out dogs
and cats. Around the wall of the
cave benches were constructed for
fruit and vegetables The floor was
cemented, and contained a hole near
the wall into which any water might
drain and be dipped out with a
bucket. This cave or cellar fur
nished warm place for fruit and
vegetables during the winter, a cool
place for milk in the summer and
refuge from cyclones and tornadoes

The grower who hopes to succeed
in raising potatoes must arrange for
fixed acreage every year, regardless
of price. Increase your areage rath-
er than decrease 1t when seed stock
is cheap. Plant freely when pota
toes are a drug on the market. Don't
neglect the potato crop this year.
Give it timely and intelligent care.
Start the cultivator after the plant
ers and ridge the rows much like
hilling the same. In two or three
days start the harrow across the
rows to destroy the sprouted weed
seeds. Keep these implements busy
on large fields of potatoes or corn
and thus kill the weeds before they
see daylight. When the potatoes are
well established spray them with
Bordeaux mixture and Paris green,
regardless of the absence of bugs or
blight. These enemies to potato
growing are so active when they
begin work that they may ruin the
prospects of a good crop in day or
two. Blight is now fully as Gestruc-
tive as potato bugs in the North
west, hence, growers must anticipate
its annual appearance and keep the
crop sprayed with Bordeaux, the
cheapest and most reliable preven-
tive in use up TO date. Farmers

MEN WHO LIVE ON sTIITs.
Turpentine Gatherers and Sheep
Hcrders of Parts of France.

The people live on sixteen foot
stills in the remarkable turpentine
growing country of France, They
don these stills after breakfast They
do not remove them again till it is
time for bedo>
There are two reasons for the
wearing of stills in the turpentine
country. One is the turpentine gath
ering. The other IL the herding Of
the great flocks.
The turpentine comes from the
maritime pine. This tree is tapped
a shingle is inserted, and from the
shingle is hung a tiny bucket, into
which the turpentine drips. The
tapping process is like that used on
the American sugar maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low,
but with each years passage the in
cision is made higher up, so that 1t
is not long before most of the trees
are tapped twenty or thirty feet from
the ground
Hence the huge stills of the work
men. On these stills they traverse
the fiat country, covering five or six
yards with each stride, and quickly
and easily collect the turpentine that
overfows the little buckets hanging
high up in the trees.
1t is for herding also that the stilts
are useful. The country is very fiat
and the herdsman, unless he con-
tinually climbed a tree, would be un'
able to keep all the members OF his
huge flock in sight. But, stridins
about on his stills, he commands
wide prospect; he is always, as II
were, upon a hill.

A subscriber at Ringood. n. c.. asks
why her chickens die She says she
sets the eggs under hens, and they
hatch very well, but that several from
each brood are weak, and lie on their
backs for few days, when they die.
This is clearly Il case where but little
attention has been paid to the selection
of males and females for the breeding
yard.
No change has been made for some
years and no new blood has been Sc
cured inbreedlng has been allowed TO
continue until the vitality of the fowls
has become weak.
The fertility of the eggs, though
fairly good, will of necessity develop a
weakness in the chicks, and this in
time will produce flock of fowls so
delicate that they will be easy prey to
every disease known to poultrydom.
Each year strong and vigorous fowls
should be selected fol the breeding
pens and these should be confined until
the Matching season has ended.
Should it not be possible to make
such a selection from ones own flock,
then by all means buy male of the
same breed from some reliable breeder.
From the chicks hatched from this
mating you may select pullets for the
following year and again secure male
as was done the previous year.

successfully improve their flocks each
year by careful selection. but with

A reader at Strayhen, Miss, asks
for a remedy for sore-head, which ap-
pears in form of scabs on heads and
combs of fowls.
Sore-head is nothing more than a
blood disease and is easily controlled
and cured. Sulphur in soft food, a
teaspoonful to each dozen hens, fed
every other day, will cure almost
every case. If the heads are very
sore, it may be necessary to rub the
affected parts with carbolized vase
line, but mild cases will not require
such treatment.
A few drops of tincture Of iron in
drinking water will materially aid in
toning up the system and keep the
blood in good condition.
While feeding sulphur 1t will be
necessary to keep the fowls out of

Money in Horse Breeding.

One of the most profitable side
lines in which the general farmer
may engage is horse breeding. 1t is
a business for which a great majori-
ty of the farmers already possess a
part of the equipment, as there are
few who do not have at least one
general purpose mare suitable for
the purpose. Here is a great oppor-
tunity then to secure a good profit at
small additional outlay. Now,
there are horses and horses; some
bred for speed, some for style and
