Large Breed, Large Horses.

Weight and power are the telling
points which have won favor for the
Shire horses in America and else
where. No other breed produces
daughters that can throw into the
collar more concentrated force than
they. Stations that tip the scale
beam at $500 pounds are not uncom-
mon, and geldings that weigh upward
OF a ton can be seen almost any day
- the great Bulls Head horse market
where fancy draughters are sold. The
prevailing color Of the shires Is a vel
low bay, and there Is strong tendency
to white faces and legs From the
knees and hooks down the legs Of the
Shires are feathered with an extraor-
binary growth of long, coarse hair.
which in England is considered one of
the slow points Of the breed, though
many users of draught horses object
to 1t here. In snap. action and quality
the Shire is no match for the French
draught horse, which seems strange
when it is remembered that English
breeders have close at hand In their
thoroughbreds the source of pretty
much all quality in modern horse

Anchorine a wire Fence.

We notice that many farmers who
use woven wire fencing have them
staked down by cris-crossing small
stakes over the bottom wire in order
to prevent hogs creeping and forcing
their way under and into adjacent
fields where they are not wanted.
We use better method. Between
each post we dig down eighteen inches
and place a loop Of heavy galvanized
wire and into each hole sink a small
stone or piece of old casting and cover
deeply.
Then with our foot we hold the
Fencing tight to the ground surface
and with the pliers twist the ends of
the buried wire about the bottom fence
wire. This makes an anchor that lasts
as long as the fence lasts and Is not
rotting off or being lifted with the
frosts every winter as stakes do.
If the fence posts are exceptionally

Removing Stones.

In regard to picking up stones, do
understand you turn the A harrow
around the other way and remove the
front teech? or how? My land is full
OF those small stones, and should be
pleased to obtain help to get rid Of
them. II. A. l.. The stone gatherer
mentioned on P. 312, 1907, is simply
one-horse cultivator, A-sbape, drawn
point forward. The harrow's spike
teeth gradually push the stones out
ward, and by passing twice In place
the stones assume a row-like position
ready for the loading fork. Another
style, drawn by team, has a cross
bar and pole cross-bar filed with teeth,
bar 8 to 5 feet long, teeth or inches
apart You simply lift to dump it and
the stones may be left In rows. H.

Make Better Butter.

A farmers wife asks why cream
cries are paid so much more for their
product than people are willing to pay
Tor countrymade butter. / will tell
you why, and want to be plain. 1t
is because the creameries make bet
ter and a more uniform grade.
That sweet, delicate flavor of the
highest grade of butter comes from
pure. rich cream, that has been right
ly handled. Creameries employ all
possible means to keep their cream In
perfect condition until 1t Is made into
butter. To secure better grade of
country butter, we must begin with
the milk when it Is taken from the
cows, and handle it with scrupulous
care until the cream is ready to churn.

a dry goods box four feet long. three

We move this coop twice a week
and it Is always clean and fresh. The
open front and bottom seem a little
risky, considering the possibility of
wandering cats. rats or weasles. But
we are willing to run some risks II
we can fill our own and custoI- ars'
pens In the fall with large, robust
stock. This one plan has enabled us
to produce Orpingtons well up to
standard size, which some fail to do.
The accompanying sketch OF coop
will explain itself.
