CARRIAGE HORSES.
Development of the American Type
Rests Largely With Farmers.

Development of the American Type
Rests Largely With Farmers.
Since the Inauguration of work for
the development from American ma
terial Of a carriage horse which would
breed true to type has come move
ment to establish classes for such
horses at the national and state fairs.
The sentiment for this has grown rap
Idly during the past year and such
classes have been added to the pre-
MUM lists of fairs In Iowa and Ken
lucky, states s-om which large num-
bers of American carriage horses are
marketed. On their own initiative the
Iowa state fair held at Des Moines,
the Kentucky state fair at Louisville
and the Blue Grass fair at Lexington,
Ky, have offered prizes for American
carriage horses for the season Of 1907.
A uniform classification has been
made possible by a cooperative ar
rangement between the national bu-
reau of animal industry and the Ameri-
can Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders. The classification was work
ed out by the committee on heavy har-
ness horses of the association.
"A cordial reception of the classifica-
ton by the horse press and managers
of fairs is reported Among the EARL
est to adort the classification for 1907
were the interstate fair held In Kan
sas City and the Kansas state fair
held In Hutchinson.
Farmers Breed the Carriage Horses.
The adoption of the classification by
state fairs Is especially urged by those
interested In 1t for the reason that the
state fairs are In the closest touch
with farmers, that the farmers are the
breeders of most of the carriage horses
sold on the American markets and that
the value Of the American horse for
carriage purposes is rarely appreciated
by the farmers who breed them. Hun
dreds of horses are sold annually by
farmers at really insignificant prices
which after some months Of finishing
and handling are sold as carriage
horses at prices up into the thousands.
Furthermore, there is continual sale
of stations to supply this trade. These
horses are usually of only moderate
value as speed producers, but are of
excellent carriage type. If kept entire
and properly mated they could be of
inestimabe value as foundation sires
of the American carriage horse.
When the farmers appreciate the in
trinsic value of the native light horse
for carriage purposes and recognize
the worth of the stallion with good
conformation and quality. but only
moderate speed, as q sire of carriage
horses the problem of fixing the type
will be one of early solution.

BEET HARvESTERS.

Lifting the 6eets by Means Of a PIo~

To harvest sugar beets costs from S.

condition Of the soil. Most of this
work is now accomplished by sys-
tenn borrowed from Europe. This con
sists In extracting the beets from the
soil with an implement drawn by two
to folr horses. 1t is in the nature of
pillow. There are several forms, one of
vi"h Is called ''puller." This has
two fngerlike tapering prongs, which
run through the ground parallel with
the surface, but about ten inches be-
low. The space between these prongs
is wider at the points, gradually less
ening to their back ends. These prongs
are supported by two upright pieces
attached to the beam. When pulled
through the soil the points are carried
on either side of the beet, compelling
1t to pass through this diminishing
space. Directly the prongs tighten
against the beet as 1t Is being forced

board and long sharp knifelike share,

ting of the beets, lifting them several
Inches and throwing them on the side
over against the loose dirt. A work
man comes along the row, takes hold
of the top, lifts the beet from the loose
soil and with sharp knife cleayes off
the crown from which the leaves have
grown. The beets are then bumped
together to remove the adhering dirt
and thrown In piles and the toIA in
others. From these piles the beets are
loaded into wagons and delivered to the
factory.-C. F. Saylor.

Mutton Chops.

You can never improve a flock by
using a grade sire.
Wethers intended for market should
be put In pasture by themselves,
where they can be literally fed.
The ewes and the sire should receive
generous feeding.
When ewes are gaining in condition
at mating time there will be larger
percentage of twins and the lambs will
be stronger.
A supply Of roots is necessary to
success with sheep.
Have some way of marking your
sheep. Many neighbors have been
made enemies for life by their sheep
getting mixed In the pasture.
1t Is important to give good care to
all animals, but particularly to sheep.
To restore flesh to an animal is an ex-
pensive process, as costly to sheep as
to other animals.-Farm Journal.

Keep the flies out of the stable,
though 1t is a pretty hard Job.
Annoyance from flies IS often more
wearing on the horses than hard work.
Keep the stalls and stable yards
clean, so that insects will not be at
tracted.
Sprinkle the floors well with land
plaster to absorb ammonia and odors.
At night the work horses should be
turned into small field near the barn,
but they should first have regular
feed Of grain and hay In the stable.
After every days work the horses
should be well brushed and the legs
washed from the knees down.
1t is often the little things that are
overlooked that cause untold suffering
to the patient horse.
Is he tied so short that he cannot lie
down?
Is he given water the last thing be-
fore closing the stable for the night?-

Marketing Honey Crop.


1t Is one thing to secure a crop OF
honey and quite another to dispose OF
1t to the best advantage, and every
beekeeper should leave no stone I'M
turned to dispose of his crop, or as
much of 1t as Is possible, in his home
market, says American Cultivator.
You are educating your community
to the use of honey, and as the educa-
ton spreads your sales Of honey will
Increase. The more places your honey
is kept on sale the more will be sold,
especially If your honey is put in nice,
clean, attractive packages.
Give the grocer some hints as to
where honey should be kept during
cool weather IN fall and winter, so
that it may not deteriorate. Nine
times out of ten II | say nothing about
the matter, the honey will be put In
the coolest part of the store or in a
back room, except the one case from
which to retail, and In one instance the
larger part of the purchase was put
into damp cellar and nearly ruined.
The same | have found to be true In
selling to private parties. The bee
keeper must do great deal of talking
along this line OF instruction. Extreme
care should be exercised in packing to
see that the honey is all of ripe
grade, In perfect condition and strong
ly built II there Is any unfit to ship
long distances use 1t at home, put 1t
back in the hive or dispose of 1t In
the home market Don't allow 1t to
get mixed with the long distance hon
ey, for this damaged honey means low
prices for all and the ultimate refusal
of the dealers to handle II.
