ROMAN NOsED HORSE.

It is said that the horse with the
Roman nose is likely to be good ami
NAL for hard work, and not afraid OF
the cars. He is also apt to he slow.
According to an authority of the Roy
al College of Veterinary Surgeons,
England, the horses face is a good
index to his character. If there is a
general curve to the profile and at the
same time the ears are pointed anil
sensitive, it is safe tc describe the
animal as gentle and at the same time
high-spirited. If on the other hand,
the horse has a dent in the middle
of his nose, he is likely to be treach-
erous and vicious. A horse that
droops his ears is apt to be lazy as
well as vicious.
10 you attempt to feed and rest the
horse at noon with his harness on?
A man might as we'll think to enjoy
his dinner by sitting down to it with
overcoat, hat and gloves on.

even greater lack, due mainly to the

The sire is half the herd and more

females are scrubs or grades.
For injuries to the teats or udder
Of the COW, an ointment made from
a mixture of fresh butter and tar Is
excellent.
Over-ripe cream, too much churning
and overworking are three general
faults in butter making.
Guinea fowls are small expense
to raise as they get most of their liv-
ing during warm weather. They are
fairly good layers.
Fright is as disastrous for hen
as for a COW. Be gentle around the
flock; it pay.
Don't blame the incubator for a
poor hatch when the fault was with
the eggs or the management.
Sick chickens are not only useless
but disgusting; don't let them get
sick. Fowls do not get sick from
choice; there is always reason.
No matter what method is used,
skim clean. Butter fat will not make
enough pork to be an economical hog
feed.
Feeding calves milk that is too coll
or too much milk at one time may
cause scours. A cup of wheat flour
and raw egg in its milk is recon-
mended as a mild remedy for calf
with scours.
It is gainful to keep calves clean
and dry. 1t is very poor economy to
expose them to driving rains in chilly
weather or to quarters that are damp
or filthy.
If buying hay for dairy cows. re-
member that it profits to give some
thing more for alfalfa or cowpea hay
than for hays that are less nitrogen

better milk producer for the same

GRINDING FEED.

The experiments of the agricultural
experiment stations do not uniformly
give results favorable to grinding
feed.
But the preponderance Of evidence
of these experiments is clearly in fav-
or of grinding feed.
And especially for young stuff and
mich cows.
But more import than even the ex-
periments of the stations is, in our
humble opinion, the practice of the
most successful farmers and stock
men.
They use the feed grinder year af-
ter year. And they are the kind that
do not do what is Improbable in ac-
tual farm practice.
They do not grind all the feed. But
they use the feed grinder enough to
make it worth while to have one.
A feed grinder is not such very
expensive proposition and rightly us.
ed it is as profitable an investment
as the average farmer or stockman
can make.-Weekly Witness.
