Heavier Stock Needed.

Thoroughbreds and thoroughbred
scrub mixtures are entirely too light
for ordinary farm work. 1t is we'll
that more Percheron stations are
going into service to give us a heav-
Ter stock. Trotters and running
horses are well enough for racing
stables, but will not do for the aver
age farm. 1t does not cost more to
raise a Percheron grade colt from
an ordinary farm mare than it does
to raise little runt, and the for
mer will usually fetch $50 more than
the latter.
Admitting that Percheron and
Shire grades are profitable to raise.
it does not follow that they are the
best all-round farm horses. They
are gentle and faithful workers, but
bulkey, and their gait is not suited
to farm work. The best all-round
farm horse is undoubtedly the Ger
man coach, sixteen to seventeen
hands high, weighing from thirteen
to fifteen hundred pounds. They are
clean of limb, graceful and quick of
action. They are neither trotters,
runners nor drafters, but if you have
a shapely mare to breed from, a pair
OF well matched high-steppers will
fetch big money. And for all-round
farm work they have no equal. Still,
until they are more generally intro
duced and appreciated, we welcome
the Percherons, Shires, etc, to give
us a heavier stock that will pull a
big load and will bring good prices
when sold.

The Value Of woodland.

Another thing that can be done to
call halt, and the most important
thing, is to educate the landowners
in the proper management of their
woodlands. This is one of the most
cogent arguments for State and ma
tional forests: they will furnish OBJ
Ject lessons in forest management. In
addition to this educational force,
other efforts ought to be made
Through our State boards of forestry,
where such exist; through our uni
versities that have chairs of forestry,
through the forest associations,
through the press, In every legitimate
way, in every open pulpit, we ought
to preach the gospel of forestry; for
the bulk Of the woodlands of this
country are, and / hope always will
be, in the hands Of private owners,
and these owners must be reached.
Upon their attitude towards their
woodlands depends in the largest
measure the solution of our forest
problems. There have been those
who said that the Americans would
not make good soldiers, because they
did not obey unless they understood.
History has proved that the Ameri-
cans have made tho best of goldiers,
because of the very fact that they un-
derstood, and understanding they
obeyed with a will. In the same way
some have been skeptical of our abil-
ity to deal with our forest problems,
because the people-the common peo-
pie as they say--oWn the land and
they do not brook interference with
their rights as owners. But I believe
this same private owner, when the
law protects his property from theft,
fire and unjust assessment; and when
he understands the nature of the
problems with which he has to deal,
will Of his own volition do more to-
wards their solution than any amount
of governmental interference. Make
it possible for him to know his duty;
and when he understands, he will do
his duty.
In conclusion: The forestal condi-
lions which confront us to-day are
serious; and they deserve the serious
thought of every good citizen. We
have sinned and we have begun to
suffer. But I have an abiding faith
in the sober second thought of the
American people. Tho indications of
repentance are at hand; and believe
that before it is eyerlastingly too late
we Americans will repent indeed, and
bring forth the fruits meet for re-
pentance. Alfred Alderman, Pro-
fessor of Forestry, University of Geor-
gia.

Besides. how could l safely per-

Postum. of which had received a

this time l gave some Postum to
friend who was in a similar condition
to mine, from the use OF coffee.
"A few days after, ! met him, and
he was full OF praise for Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee, but stick to Postum. We then.
ordered full supply, and within a
short time my nervousness and con-

The Troublesome Insects.

Point out to me the man who is
positive that there are no insects
about his poultry-house, and | will
show you man that in nine cases
out of ten is mistaken. Work as
you may to rid the house and fowls
of these pests and there are most
sure to be few left. In the winter
they do not multiply as fast as in
the summer weather, but there is no
time when they will not increase if
given chance. A great many poul-
trymen expend quite large amounts
every year for insecticides, and be-
sides this use every other effort to
check the increase and to extermi-
nate these insects. When the cold
weather comes and there are less
Of them seen about the premises, by
a good many, the watchful care is
discontinued or partially so. Because
they do not seem so plentiful does
not, mean that they are not there.
A good many speak Of lice as being
the most troublesome with their
poultry. Lice on my fowls give me
the least trouble of any. l find they
are the easiest to get rid of. 1t is
the little gray or red mite that makes
the mischief for me. They do their
work mostly at night when the hens
are on the roost by crawling on them
and sucking their blood. And when
hundreds of them get on one hen
they are pretty sure to have telling
effect in a short time. They take
the very life out Of fowl. They are
very small and work mostly about
the vent and under the wings. AS
rule they leave the fowls in the
morning and hide during the day
between boards, in joints, cracks, ETC.,
waiting for night to come out again.
Many, in cleaning the hen-house,
give less attention to the roost and
nests than any other part. The nest
ing material will perhaps be taken
otu and replaced with fresh and the
droppings be removed, but the nest
boxes, and under and all around
them, and the perches, should be
looked to. Generally the reason why
this is not done is because to save
labor the perches are nailed to the
wall or fixed on a frame and the
nests are also nailed tight. I often
see nests fastened up strongly enough
to support a man. This is all wrong.
All these fittings should be made and
so put up that they can be easily
taken down and pulled to pieces and
carried outside for a thorough clean
ing, for on these there will be found
the majority of the insects. When
you have the fittings outside Of the
building scar them over by holding
in blaze minute or so.
A good insecticide is made Of one
gallon of kerosene oil and one-half

which If thoroughly rubbed into the

and kill all the BODY insects. A good
dust bath is also very elective for
this purpose. Vincent M. Couch, in
