The Points of a Good Horse.

Here are some good suggestions
from Canadian bulletin, giving the
points of good reliable horse:
''If a horse is short-ribbed he is
light in his middle and is nearly al
ways a poor feeder.
He has not the stomach to con-
tain succulent food to serve him from
one meal to another
"A light-centered horse seldom
weighs well, and weight in draft
horse, if it comes from bone, sinew
and muscle, goes a long way to de-
termine his commercial value.
"A stallion whose feet are con-
tracted and brittle and whose hooks
are puffy and fleshy-looking should
be avoided, as suct hooks are gen.
orally associated with a coarseness
throughout his whole conformation
and a general lack of quality.
When a horse is we'll coupled to-
gether on top and has a short back,
he must have the length below from
the point of the shoulder to the back
of the thigh. When so built he will
stand the strain of drawing heavy
loads much better than if he has a
long, loose back.
THE front feet and hooks are the
parts of either a draft or a driving
horse that come directly in contact
with the hard work, and unless they
are sound and good a horses useful
ness will be very much impaired and
his commercial value very much les
sened
Before using stallion, get the
groom to lead him away from you.
Stand square behind him and see
that he picks up his feet and places
them on the ground properly, travel
ing in both trot and walk clear and
clean. not striking the ground first
with the toe and then bringing down
the heel.
The feet should be large and
waxy in appearance. The sole of the
hoof should be concave, the frog
spongy, plump and elastic, because II
acts as buffer to take the concus.
sion from acting too severely on the
foot, pastern and fetlock. See that
both sire and dam have sound feet,
free from flatness, brittleness and are
not contracted. There should be no
'gumminess" about the hooks of the
draft horse, as 1t indicates coarse.
ness. They should be large, fiat and
firm, and should be wide, especially
from a side view"

in places where, locally, the people
are not able to build alone. The need
of an agency of this kind was felt a
half century ago and more, but no

II is we'll for us to reread the fas-

cd his feeling toward the people at
the completion of the tabernacle, and

the Lord filled both tent and temple.
The centurion who had built for the
Jews a synagogue was a modest and

his generosity and devotion were

now there would be no homeless con-
gregations; nor buildings which do
not represent the ability of the peo-
pie: nor crushing debts; nor driving

represented.
Perhaps this computation will en-
able us the better to comprehend the
magnitude of the work of the Board
of Church Extension; If the churches
aided from the beginning were placed
three ana one half miles apart they
would make line nearly twice
around the globe-if that were pos
sible. Or, if placed side by side and
each church given fifty feet front, they
would make a street of solid church
walls more than forty-seven miles IN

FALLING OF THE LEAVES.
Tho Wind in the Autumn Has Really
Very Little to Do With 1t.

When the storm clouds gather be
hind the brown autumnal woods anc
cold winds begin to blow, then the
bright leaves come drifting down II
fluttering, fast thickenlng shower!
until it almost seems as If the wind
were the active agent and actually
tore the wind from the trees. This
of course, is not the case. The leaf
fall only becomes possible after
long preparation on the part of the
tree, which forms a peculiar layer oi
cells in each leaf stem called the
cleavage plate.
The cleavage plate, or separation
layer, consists of section OF loosely
attached, thin walled cells with few
strands of stronger woody fiber ir
among them; so, in the early au
tumn, although the leaves appear a;
firmly attached as ever before, they
are really held on the tree by these
few woody strands and the outer
brittle skin or epidermis of the stem
Now only a slight shock or wind
furry is sufficient to break the fragile
support and bring the leaves in show
ers to the ground. We may see these
woody strands broken through in the
leaf scar of the horse chestnut, where
they appear as little rounded projec
tions on the broken surface and are
often spoken of from their fanciec
resemblance to the nails of horse
shoe. The hickory and ash among
other trees have siallar markings or
their leaf scars and from the SANE
cause. On the root of the wild sar
saparilla which projects just abov'
the ground like series of little pro
jections will be seen upon the ring
like scar which surrounds the bud
where the leaf stalk has just sepa
rated.
Often the leaves separate and fal

Fire Protection.

The following suggestion from the
Farm Journal should be given seri-
Gus thought by all those who live in
agricultural Districts:
Ladders to the number of four or
five should have a place on every
farm, either fixed on four wheels for
transporting from one building to an
other, or else permanently secured to
some handy building where they can
be found without asking where they
are. An emergency case of fire isn't
the time to hunt up, borrow or make
ladders. Have them in plain sight,
for the darkest night.
We are sorry to say that on a
great many-probably the majority
of farms the matter of protecting
the buildings from fire does not re-
reive much attention. A large finan-
eial loss can sometimes be saved by
little preparation before hand
which will enable you to fight the
Sre' in a systematic way.-New
York Witness.

proper care is exercised in breeding.
II is possible to have all cows in the
herd approach and even equal the
best COW in the amount and quality
of milk given. A little ambition and
enterprise on the part of dairymen
should soon bring this about.
The dairy herd can be renewed by
direct purchase or by the farmer
raising his own calves. In either
case they should at least be the prog
eny of a thoroughbred sire.
Our pasture fields and feed supply
should be used to their full capacity.
When a COW on account of some ac-
cldent or for some other unforeseen
cause does not give sufficient milk
to make 1t profitable to keep her,
there should be heifers ready to take
her place. 1t is good plan to raise
certain number of heifers each
year, and If no vacancies should oc-
cur in the ranks of the older COWS,
then create some vacancies by selling
the least productive ones. A farmer
must see to it that his herd is re-
duced in numbers. With improve
ment in methods of growing and
handling the farm crops, the farmer
is easily enabled also to enlarge his
dairy herd. To renew the herd is
the only way to keep it possessed of
vitality and thrift with capability or
capacity for large production.
We should make sort of civil SER
vice examination of our herds That
is the only way to be up with the
times; it is the only way to get the
profit. If the Babcock tester was
more generally used. the scales would
quickly follow, 1t is as important
that the herd be kept to its full num-
ber, and that of generous producers,
as it is that we SOW sufficient seed of
the best quality on our grain and
grass fields.

A TRUE CAT STORY.

A family moved to a new home
twelve miles from the old one. They
gave their cats to a friend about six
miles from the new home. One of
them, the mother cat, remained at
her new quarters only a.short time,
and nothing was heard from her until
this summer, when nearly two years
had passed. One morning she was
discovered in the yard of her old
mistress home in the city which she
had never seen, being born and
raised at the old home in the coun-
try. To the greeting of her mistress
she responded with every show of af-
fection and delight. OF course, the
wanderer was made welcome. She
shows a decided aversion to being
put out of doors at all, and clings
with a deyotedness which is really
touching to her old friends. Now"
asks the writer. could this be mere
ly chance that pussy in the tramp
life, should find her way to that par
ticular place, or do these dumb crea-
lures know more than we give them
credit for?"-Hartford Courant.

Plnwing Around a RoclL.

said a farmer, "and | had broken a
mowing-machine knife against it. be-
sides losing the use of the ground in
which it lay, because / supposed that
it was such large rock that it would
take too much time and labor TO re-
move it. But, to-day. when ! began
10 plow for corn, ! thought that by
and by I might break my cultivator
against that rock; so I took a crow
bar, intending to poke around it, and
find out the size once for all. And it
was one of the surprises of my life
to find that 1t was little more than
two feet long. 1t was standing on it's
edge, and was so light that | could
lift it into the wagon without help"
The first time you really faced
your trouble you conquered It," l re-
piled aloud, but continued to enlarge
upon the subject all to myself, for 1
do believe that before we pray, or
better, while we pray, we should look
our troubles squarely in the face
We shiver and shake and shrink,
and sometimes we do not dare to
pray about a trouble because 1t makes
it seem so real, not even knowing
what we wish the Lord to do about
it. when if we would face the trouble
and call it by its name one-half of
its terror would be gone.
The trouble that lies down with us
at night, and confronts us on first
waking in the morning, is not the
trouble that we have faced, but the
trouble whose proportions we do not
know.
Let us not allow our unmapped
trouble to make barren the years of
our lives, but face it, and with Gods
help work out our salvation through
it!-Advocate.

Keep Your Eyes On the Cow.

The Cheese and Dairy Journal
says some good things in behalf OF
the dairy interests in the following:
1t is too often the case with many
farmers or dairymen that they keep
their cows, regardless of their pro-
ducing capacity, till they are old be-
fore they replace them with others.
A COW should be. as it were, on trial.
And her owner should be exacting
enough and enterprising enough to
demand large returns from good feed
and treatment. Every generation of
cows can for many years yet be made
an improvement on their dams.
Then the more rapidly one genera
tion OF cows Is made to replace an
other. the more rapidly will the herd
imQrove tn producing capacity " khe

In German some interesting ex-
periments have recently been made
in the protection of orchard trees
against night frosts by means of fum-
igation. A part of an orchard in
bloom was thus successfully guard
ed against an April frost by the dense
smoke OF napthalene. But the ex-
pertinent was very expensive, fifty
Kilograms of napthalene being con-
sumed by seven flames in one hour.
Later a new preparation of chemicals
was tried, producing a comparatively
huge volume of smoke with the ex-
penditure of only two Kilograms of
the material per hour. These trials
are under the direction OF an expert
mental gardening association.
