GREAT SHOW
OF PONIES.

The breeding classes at the New
York horse show indicate the increased
and constant interest that the ponies
maintain at this great exhibition.
They were forward in large numbers.
and the quality is increasing each
year, and the action shown by these
miniature horses is really the marvel of
the whole show. The interest evinced
in the little fellows is of the very
greatest. and they are one of the most
attractive features of this exhibition.
The first class in the breeding divi-
sion called for stallion and three of his
get not exceeding 14.1. For this prize
several candidates appeared, and pride
of place was awarded to Dilham Prime
Jordan. now the property of Fred
Pabst of Wisconsin. He was repre-
sented by three of his daughters
Dainty Eccles. Lady Eccles and Lady
Dilham. this last mare being the SEN
sation of the New York show of this
year and probably the best pony in
harness in the world at the present
time. 1t is extremely doubtful if any
sire could show three daughters the
equal of these three ponies.
The class for stations not to exceed
14,2 was probably one of the best ever
shown. The ponies We're distinctly
high class. and several of them had
been London champions. First prize
was awarded to the stallion Little

TURNlP YIELDS.
Climate of More Importance Then
Soil For This Crop.

Climate of More Importance Then
Soil For This Crop.
The best soils for this crop are free
working lands rich in organic matter
and In good tilth. Common turnips
will do better on lighter loans than
rutabagas, and these will give bet
ter yield than turnips upon heavy to
medium loans. Climate Is apparently
Of more importance than soil for this
crop. A damp and rather dull eli
mate, with a we'll distributed rainfall
throughout the growing season, seems
to be best.
Preparation of Land.
To prepare the land it is recommend
ed that an application of about ten
tons of barnyard manure per acre be
plowed under in fall and the land be
put in good tilth the next spring. Lime
slaked to a very fine powder may be
applied at the rate of 1000 pounds of
quicklime per acre and narrowed in
with 400 to 600 pounds of acid phos-
phate and fifty pounds of nitrate of
soda. This application must be well
Incorporated with the soil before SOW
ing and the seed bed made as fine as
possible From two and half to FIVE
pounds of seed are usually sown in
the case of rutabagas and hybrid tur
nips and from two to four pounds or
an average of three pounds per acre
in the case of common turnips when
the rows are twenty-seven to thirty
inches apart
Different Varieties.
In 1905 the New York experiment
station secured from twenty to twenty
five tons per acre from such varieties
as the Improved Green Globe and the
Carter Mammoth. In 1906 White Egg
gave the largest yield. During two
years hybrid turnips sown on May II
yielded at the rate of twenty-three
tons, while those sown June 12 yielded
only about fourteen tons per acre.
Carton Pioneer showed considerable
resistance to soft rot, being the only
one not attacked and yielding for the
two years at the rate of nearly twenty.
eight tons per acre.

A NEW TUBER.
Crisp and Pleasant In Taste, Staehys
Meets With Favor.

Crisp and Pleasant In Taste, Staehys
Meets With Favor.
This vegetable, known to the bota-
nists as Stachys sieboldi. has been In
troduced Into America from Japan and
has number of different names. such
as japanese potato. Chinese artichoke.
chorogi, etc, but the name stachys
seems to have been adopted as the
common one in this country. The
plant Is a small perennial belonging to
the mint family and produces just be-
low the ground a multitude of small
white crisp edible tubers varying from
an inch to two and one-half inches in
length and about one-half an inch in
thickness and marked by irregular
spiral springs. which give them cork
screw-like appearance.
Easy of Cultivation.
Stachys has been tested at the New
York (CornelD and a number of the
other agricultural experiment stations
and proved SO easy of cultivation and
pleasant in taste (the flavor resembling
artichokes) that the vegetable has made
many friends and is now procurable
at the markets in most of our larger
cities. The agreeable quality is in
considerable measure due to the crisp
ness of the tubers, and as this disap-
pears when they are exposed to the air
they should be stored in sand or saw
dust. They are ready for use when
the plant dies down in the autumn,
though they may be easily carried
over the winter, and are prepared for
the table like potatoes or other vegeta-
bles or may be eaten raw like radishes.
On an average stachys has the follow
ing percentage composition: 1856 per
cent water, 81 per cent protein, Oh
per cent fat, ia per cent total carbo-
hydrates O.7 per cent being crude
fiber) and IL per cent ash. Like the
other roots and tubers which have
been spoken of, the stachys is charac-
teriZed by a high water content, and
carbohydrates constitute the principal
nutritive material. According to some
in place of starch while others state
that starch is replaced by a special
carbohydrate called stachyose. A di-
gestion experiment with stachys was
made some years ago in Japan, and it
was found that the carbohydrates
were about as thoroughly digested as
those of potatoes, 95 per cent being re-
tanned by the body.-C. F. LangWor-
thy.

Ruby. This is bla:k brown pony
about 1873. which was tlle champion
at the international at Olympia in
March and has also beea champion at
the London hackneT show in previous
years. He had been brought to this
country by Messrs Carr for the New
York exhibition. 1t is extremely doubt
full whether such eXtIaVagant action
as displayed by this pony has ever
been seen in America, rot even except
ing the famous Berkeley Bantam and
Forest King. His hooks moved with
all the precision and regularity of the
piston of an engine. aud their fexion
was truly remarkable. His fore action
was also excellent. and altogether he
is probably the most sensational pony
we have yet seen among the imported
ones. He is smooth in his outline, good
in shoulder, round in barrel, full in his
quarters and carries his dock gayly.
Shetland Ponies.
Shetland stations were a good col
lection, somewhat larger than has been
shown at the Garden for several years.
Ellerslie of Elsinore just barely beat
Grand Duke. Ellerslie Isl very level
pony, upheaded in carriage, with good
style and action.
There were quite number of other
good ponies in this class and the inter-
est that is being manifested in Shet-
lands in New York is of such character
that Shetland men are standing in
their own light by not giving the Gar
den as great an exhibit OF these chill
dren's pets as can be seen in the world.
The Breeders Gazette, Chicago. is
the source Of the foregoing interesting
comment and Illustration, and the
same journal notes the large number
of both stations and mars>s registered

Stud Book. just issued. as proof that
the breeding of Shetland ponies is at
this time an industry Wi!ieh is con-
stantly increasing.

Farmers of the country are slowly
realizing the advantage of planting
trees. Trees are slow crop. but they
are sure one and the children Of
men who plant today stretches of nut
trees, fruit trees or hardwood timber
will rise up to call them blessed to-
morrow. The country is going to be
hard up for wood in 4 comparatively
few years if somebody doesn't plant
trees. Just at present the south is
stripping itself to meet the constantly
increasing demands for timber and in
the south are exceptional opportunities
to prepare for profit in meeting the de-
mands of the future-Southern Planter.

these. Exposure to cold winds is also
harmful, especially in the yards. I'm
less in the fine wooled breeds the
feeces of sheep thus exposed are made
to so expose certain parts Of the body
that colds are contracted, to the detri-
ment of the sheep. Lying in drafts is
also harmful Sheep thus exposed con-
tract catarrhal troubles, such as snuff
fes, which are very detrimental to
their well being.
The close housing of sheep in warm
stables is about the worst thing that
can come to them in winter When
thus housed they sweat because of the
heat induced by the wool covering, and
when they are turned out from such
sheds into cold atmosphere they con-
tract colds. The ideal conditions of
shelter are those of a shed and yard
that will protect them from winds,
drafts and falling storms and that viii
allow them access at all times to the
yards except when storms are falling
The yards should of course be at all
times well bedded with straw suff1-
cient to furnish the sheep with a COM
Portable bed. The doors opening from
the yards into the sheds should be rea-
sonably wide to prevent the ewes from
crowding while entering them.
1t is absolutely necessary to the web
being of sheep that they be given con-
season. Because of this they should
be allowed access to the pastures as
long as possible in the autumn and as
soon as bare spots appear on well sod
ded lands In the spring. The device
has sometimes been resorted to when
snow is deep to place food in racks
some distance away from the sheds
and to open a road to the same with
the snowplow on which the sheep
would journey when seeking such food.
Lambs are usually strong and vigor-
Gus in proportion as the ewes get ex-
ercise, other things being equal.
No kind of fodder can be given to
sheep that will serve the purpose so
well as that which is leguminous.
Such fodder is found in clover, alfalfa
and the Canada field pea in northern
areas but it is chiefly furnished by
clover. 1t is of much consequence that
the fodder fed to sheep be fine rather
than coarse. They are fond of a va
riety of fodder.
AS a rule. ewes will profit by feed
ing them from half pound to a pound
q day of grain before the lambing sea-
son and after that time by giving
them much larger quantities unless
when they are on succulent pastures.
No kind of grain is better than oats
When on dry feed and no roots are
being fed, q small proportion of bran
or of oil cake or of both added to the
meal will greatly improve the ration
because of the regulating effect which
these have on the digestion. Field
roots are a great help when they can
be fed

Humus In Orchard Soil.

The humus loosens the soil particles,
which in turn increases its water ca

the growth of the beneficial bacteria

close attention must be given them to
keep them in good health and to Sc

Under such conditions certain

CURE IT IN ONE DAY
Coughs and Colds Disappear Like
Magic When Hyomei
is Used.

Ii the thousands of people who SUI
fer from hacking coughs and agoniz-
ing colds would arouse themselves
sufficiently to follow this advice, they
would cease to complain within "a
hours.
Here is the advice if you take it and
you are afterwards sorry that you did
it won't cost you penny.
Go to Wilkinson & Co., the drug
gists, and purchase from them a
Hyomei pronounced High-o-me) out
fit. 1t will only cost you s100. Take
it home; use it according to directions,
and if it does not cure your cough or
cold, take it back and Wilkinson &

When you use Hyomei you don't
swallow nauseating drugs You simp.
ly breathe in the soothing, pleasant
and antiseptic Hyomei air through the
little pocket inhaler that comes with
each outfit. AS this medicated air
