BREEDING HORSES.
Seven Rules For Farmers Engaged In
the Business.

A famous breeder of hunting horses
tells OF the rules by which he was
governed in the conduct of this bust
ness. Such rules are likely to be large
ly applicable to the raising of the best
live stock generally, and should be
known by all those engaged in such
work. Every farmer is likely to be
helped by making them his own. Seven
rules are thus given:
l. Determine what it is you really
desire to produce, and having done so,
stick to it closely.
2. Procure a young mother that has
arrived at maturity, and is healthy
roomy, well shaped, round, large sized
with good temper and good action; anu
remember that the better breed the
mare is that possesses the qualities
the more valuable she will prove.
3. The dam, as a general rule, has
more direct influence on her offspring,
as regards health and size, than the
sire has.
4. The offspring bred from greatly
dissimilar parents in either size or
character should never be used for
breeding purposes; their offspring will
certainly prove to be mongrels of non
descript character. That the parents
should be as similar as possible is a
rule the neglect of which has led to
more disappointments than any other
with which l am acquainted.
5. A pure thoroughbred sire that
has produced good descendants should
be selected, and l do not believe a
really good weight-carrying hunter
will ever be bred from anything but
thoroughbred horse.
6. The sire has more direct influ-
ence on the bones, heart, tendons and
nerves of the foal than the mare.
Z. Breeding too early is quite incom-
patible with hardness of constitution
and lasting qualities. Hence, l believe
the mare should be at least four years
! old before she is put to the horse

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most of
The parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
a trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
"The reason am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, "is because he
has the right kind of a wife for a
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. / found out a long
while ago-shortly after 1 was mar
ried myself, in fact-that man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher This one will be all right.
We won't hear a peep out of him"
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man a call. According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.

keepino Seed Potatoes.

The ideal method of keeping seed
potatoes is claimed to be cold stor.
age. Potatoes thus kept at Ohio sta
ton have come out sound and fresh,
with no indications of sprousng, and
their vitality unimpaired, even so late
as the first Of June 1t is important,
however, that the temperature of the
cold storage room should not fall be-
low 35 degrees, nor should it rise
much above 10. When cold storage Is
not available, sprouting may in some
measure be prevented by shoveling
the potatoes frequently.

FARMING IN
THE SOUTH
DAIRY NOTES.
Bad Luck in the Business Invariably
Follows Bad Management.

A COW that averages less than one
and a half gallons of milk per day
can not be kept at profit.
There may be such a thing as bad
luck in the dairy business, but it is
a peculiar coincidence that it always
follows bad management
Keep the calf growing at all times
from the moment of its birth. 1t re-
quires twice as much feed to raise a
stunted calf as it does to raise the
one that has been kept growing
1t is important that the milk pail
be kept clean; how important is shown
by an experiment. Before the first
washing there were 7,389,000 bacteria
before the second 900 and after
the third, only $4,000.
Do not oppose the cows appetite
She knows what it takes to make a
balanced ration better than any reed
ing standard. If she gets tired of eat
ing bran and corn, try oats and corn.
If she is tired of fodder, by all means
try little clover hay.
ne udll uldI VIII WlutCIS lu0 III Y
COW finds that his bank account is but
little if any larger at the end of the
year than it was at the beginning. The
COW should be giving enough milk
during the expensive winter months
to at least pay her board.
An Iowa dairyman writes: Once
each week l give my cows all of a
mixture of two parts salt and one part
ashes that they viii eat. The ashes
should be rich in charcoal. The COWS
require great deal of charcoal and
can not do their best without it,
Could the reader live on one tea
cup of cold soup each day? A ration
of dead grass alone at this time OF
the year contains about as much @
The food elements for the COW as a
teacupful of soup for the person. Do
not thing that it is waste to feed
che dairy animals a little additional
in the way of grain and hay or grain
and fodder.

TUM0RS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman s
dread enemy TumOr.
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from it's early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of Inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pipkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of it's
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs. May Fry, of $50 w. Colfax
Ave, South Bend Ind, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Il take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
done for me. l also took the Blood
Purifier in alternate doses with the
Compound. Your medicine removed
cyst tumor of four years growth
which three of the best physicians
declared 1 had. They had said that
only an operation could help me. l am
very thankful that l followed a friends
advice and took your medicine. 1t has
made me a strong and well woman
and l shall recommend it as long as
I live
Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 Ruggles St,
Boston, Mass, writes;
Woodruff County news. [volume] (McCrory, Ark.) 1901-1910, 1907-11-28

81 have been under different doctors
treatment for a long time without
relief. They told me l had fibroid
tumor, my abdomen was swollen and
l suffered with great pain. I wrote
to you for advice, you replied and l
followed your directions carefully and
to-day l am a well woman. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ex-
PEELED the tumor and strengthened my
whole system"
Mrs. S. j. Barber, of Scott, N. Y.
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Sometime ago 1 wrote you for
advice about a tumor which the doc
tors thought would have to be removed.
Instead l took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and to-day am
we'll woman"
Mrs. M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Il had tumor and Lydia E. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound removed
it for me after two doctors had given
me up. I was sick four years before I
began to take the Compound. I now
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget-
able Compound far and near"
Such testimony as above is con-
vincing evidence that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound stands
without peer as a remedy for Tumof
Growths as well as other distressing
ills of women, and such symptoms as
Bearing-down Sensations, Displace-
ments, Irregularities and Backache,
etc. Women should remember that Il
is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound that is curing so many women.
Don't forget to insist upon it when
some druggist asks you to accept
something else which he calls Just
as good"

Selecting Seed Corn.

November is our great corn-gather'
ing month in sections where it is not
cut and shocked, and in those sections
there are many who shred their corn
in November. To those we wish to
suggest that the corn stalks shall be
thoroughly dry before shredding, 9th
erwise the shredded corn may mold
and lose much of its value for feec
ing purposes. Where the corn has no.
been cut we advise the selection OF
the seed corn while the ears are ye-
on the stalk. Save much more than
you will need to plant, so that in re-
selecting next spring there will be no
need to use any but the very best ears
for planting.

Oilinq Harness.

Oiling harness is a task that farm
ers generally put off too long. 1t is just
the work for stormy weather. One
quart of neatsfoot oil will be sufficient
for double harness. Wash the harness
well with soap and water and hang In
a warm room over night to dry. Next
day it will be in good condition to
receive the OIL Add little lamp-black
to the oil to color it; apply with rag
or brush, rubbing it well into the
leather and hang in warm room over
night, Next day rub we'll with a dry
cloth and it will be ready for use. Har-
ness thus treated is much easier to
handle and far less liable to cause
gals to the horses and will wear much
longer.

How About the Fruit Trees?

Have you all the fruit trees you
need, and is your family abundantly
supplied with a variety of fruits
throughout the season? November is
the best month in the year to plant
out trees. Get a catalogue from some
reliable nurseryman and make Sc
lection. If you make more than you
need for consumption at the time, and
have not market for it, it can be
canned for future use. Remember that
good ripe fruit saves doctors visits.
And while you are thinking about
the fruit trees do not forget to add
some strawberry plants and also some
dewberry plants later. There are en-
tirely too few of these grown by our
farmers.
