THE PERCHER0N.
Appreeiatron of Splendid Breed of
Draft Horses.

AppreeiatIon of Splendid Breed of
Draft Horses.
The Iowa State college at Ames is
cooperating with the United States
government in a breeding experiment
to establish a breed of gray draft
horses A study of blood lines and
draft types decided Secretary Wilson
Of the United States department Of ag-
riculture and Professors CVrtiss and
Kennedy of the Iowa State college to
select the Shire and Clydesdale breeds
for the beginning of the experiment,
though some of the gray Percheron
blood may possibly be used later in
the progress of the experiment. Com
menting upon this enterprise. National
Stockman remarks:
The color has been selected with
more wisdom than fairness to existing
interests. The gray draft horse has
been made popular in this country by
the Percheron. Very few gray draft
horses other than Percherons have
been used here, and this color has be-
come a sort of Percheron trademark,
an indica ton of Percheron blood. The
prejudice in favor of it is so strong
that it forced Percheron breeders to re-
turn to the breeds original color when
a fashion led them from it for season.
Ideal Home of the Horse.
In the little district of Perche, sit
uated in the south of Normandy, in
France, we find the native home of
probably the most popular breed of
draft horses in the world today, the
Percheron. This is a somewhat bro
ken country, with rather scant pastures
and watered by numerous springs and
brooks, an ideal location for the de-
veIopment of such noble breed of
horses. Nature has favored it with
nutritious herbage and pure, dry
and bracing air eminently favorable
to horse breeding. 1t takes a great
deal of labor to cultivate the fields of
this broken region, and the brood mare
is called upon for her share Of the
work. This is another condition that
has led to the production of strong,
rugged colts destined some day to car
~ on the commerce of the world.
The Perche farmer is the breeder of
these horses. and it is a well known
fact that the farm is the ideal place
to produce those lusty, vigorous colts

THE coLoNEL's STORY.

the old colonel, s'did any of you
ever hear the story of Jim Adkins %

well, I'm surprised. Everybody
in the settlement knew it. Jim was
no count sort of a fellow, and the
old man was anxious to Gst rid of

they were looking around for men

eyes. Jim was in the hayloft,
and they were about to leave with
out him when the old man winked
and pointed to the barn.
'"That was enough, and they got
him and marched him to the front
E'The old man was sorry after
Jim was gone, and his conscience
hurt him bad. 3. But he hoped for
the best, until one day he got mes
sage that told him Jim had been
killed and buried on the. battlefield.
F'Then he packed his grip and
started right off to bring Jim's body
home if possible, for the grief strick-
en- mother would have nothing else
and made life miserable for him
with her reproaches.
'He went to Virginia and was
there informed that it would be i'm
possible to remove the body. So he
stood over the spot where it was
buried and wept for three days.
Then he went sadly home.
"And, 10 and behold, the first
man he met as he neared his gate
was Jim-safe, sound and right side
up with care!
"It was some time before the old
man could say a word, but when he
found it was really Jim-in flesh
and blood-that they had got Jim
mixed up with some other Adkins,
and he hadn't been killed at all, the
old man was hot! He slowly divest-
ed himself OF his coat, then rolled
up his sleeves and made for him!
1t was the liveiest scrap you ever
saw-the old man on top and the
two Of 'em wallowing in the dust!
"It took the old lady and the
three girls and two stout darkies to
pull the old man off.
F:He never did explain why he did
it, and Jim didn't ask any questions,
but the next morning he told his
mother that while his furlough
wasn't out, still he knew his country
needed him and he couldn't stand to
stay at home under those circum-
stances, so he left his blessings for
the old man and took the first train
for the front" t."-Atlanta Constitu-

An Optimistic Outlook.

1t has been the cry of the ire
sponsive man since criticism began
that his own generation produced
nothing. It's cry that [ hate and
deny. When the dross has been
cleared away and comparison be-
comes possible I am convinced it
will be admitted that in the aggre-
gate, in philosophy and significant
literature, in architecture, painting
and scientific research, in engineer
ing and industrial invention, in
statecraft, humanity and valiant
deeds, the last thirty years of mans
endeavors will bear comparison with
any other period of thirty years
whatever in his history. - Fl. G.

When They Are Behind,

With pigs coming at several times
Of the year it is not easy to prevent
some of the larger ones from having
the advantage. These robust fellows
look out for themselves; they have
their share and more. OF course the
big ones should be kept away from
the smaller ones-that is admitted.
But when we give all the pigs con-
siderable range how large a farm will
1T take for one or two hundred pigs
born during half a dozen months of
the year that each may have its share
Of the land, the shade and the water?
We cannot work it out in this way as
we would like to do, consequently
some pigs are behind the rest They
are cuffed and abused occasionally
We allow them to creep into an in
closure for their feed which the big
fellows cannot enter. If they fall be-
hind and do not grow as they should,
we shut them up for a week or two
and feed them skim milk and other
things they like. They should not stay
In too long or they may take the
thumps. The change of diet and free
dom from molestation are good for
them. 1t is not advisable to doctor
these pigs with stale buttermilk. This
advice is given free, says a writer in
Farmers Advocate. 1t cost two pigs
once.

PAN FOR MELTING PARAFF1N.

solder should be applied between the
two rims SO as to make this space air
tight, and the only outlet is formed
by stopcock, which is soldered into
the lower tin pan just below the rim.
BY opening this stopcock a circulation
Is created, allowing exhausted steam
to escape The bottom of the lower
pan has pipe nipple soldered into 1t,
to which a rubber hose from the steam
pipe may be attached, thus forming an
inlet for the heated steam which is to
melt the paraffin in the pan. To make
a holder for the pans attach a SHELF TO
the wall where it will be handy and
saw & hole through one end of the
shalt IL which to set the melting out
g.. In turning on steam be careful
not to make the pressure too great, as
it is liable to burst the pans apart.

For Corn Eeedino,

A common practice with farmers in
feeding corn to cattle is to pick the
small ears. After feeding for some
time, especially if fed for market, the
cattle often refuse to eat This is
caused by feeding too large pieces,
which makes the mouth sore. By the
use of a device like the one shown in
the accompanying cut no trouble of
