Pure Water for Horses.

Horses need pure water If they are to
thrive. Shiny pools and sloughs cover
ed with green scum and infested by
millions OF harmful germs are most
deadly enemies of the equine family.
This writer remembers when one very
dry fall years ago state veterinarian
traced the death of many young horses
to the water which they were compelled
to drink or 60 thirsty. 1t would appear
that the stock water problem is about
the most formidable at present confront
ing the stockmen of America. Rivers
which in other years have never been
known to go dry are now mere strips OF
sand, with here and there little stagnant
pools in which have collected multi
tude of various sorts of aquatic life.
Wells, famous for the magnitude and
purity of the water supply afforded, may
now easily be pumped dry, and general
ly the prospect is very far from inviting.
There is, of course, abundance of time
for the fall rains to decend on the parch-
ed face of the earth and restore things
to something near the normal condition,
but then again there is always the
chance that they may not, and the stock
man who is forced to 60 into the winter
with an inadequate supply of water for
his horses is truly in pitiable plight. 1t
is not situation which may be tamper-
ed with for q moment. II the prospect
is that the water supply will be short,
then get the we'll borer at once. Then
again il should be remembered that If
the rains do come in normal measure
they will deposit an infinity of filth in
all open drinking places. 1t is surely a
time when breeders should see to it that
they provide an abundant supply of pure
water for their horses.-Breeder's Ga

PETTING A HORSE.
n You Want to Please Him Rub Him
Between the Ears.

"Not many people know how to pet
a horse, from the horses standpoint,
at any rate" said a trainer. Every
nice looking horse comes In for Il good
deal Of petting. Hitch a fine horse
close to the curb and you'll find that
half the men. women and children
who go by will stop for a minute, say
Nice horsy and give him an affec-
tionate pat or two.

in the right place. II you want to

Western Dairy Methods.

The November series of farmers in
stitutes held by Commissioner Gilman
in Maine was unusually helpful. The
leading speake2R included Forest Henry,
the well-knowh dairy expert of Mime
sofa, and Andrew Elliot of Ontario.
Mr.. Henry was born in the east but
spent practically his whole life in Mime
sofa. he started early in the dairy busi-
ness. Extracts from his remarks follow
"On the old ranch we had three cows
and took fairly good care of them, but
were not satisfied with the results. So
said to the boys, we will take the best
of the calves, give them better care and
attention. and continue this process un-
til we feel better satisfied with results.

Who Is RESPONSIBLE?

The fruit growers of the state, in an
nual session at Waterville recently, as
announced in their published pro-
sramme, are to take action on the mat
ter of the enactment of law regulating
the packing of apples for market. While
every grower admits the necessity for
and the advantages of more uniform and
more reliable packing of apples for mar
ket, yet in framing a law To govern the
matter extreme caution is called for that
the condition of the sorting and packing
is made to rest on the parties RESPONSE
BILE for the same. Growers should see to
il that this point is we'll guarded. AS a
rule growers who are in the way of sort
ing, packing and forwarding their fruit
To the open market themselves, in the
main, have long since learned there is no
advantage from dishonest sorting or at
tempted deception. Hence, as a rule
the charge of unreliable sorting so much
in evidence the past year does not
generally lay against them.
In references to the proposed law
governing this matter that have recently
appeared in some of the newspapers OF
the day, it is proposed that every pack
age of fruit put on the market shall be
branded, in conspicuous letters, with
the name of the grower. As one OF the
growers and marketers of apples the
writer cannot see how such require
ment would reach the case in any meas
ure, and beside might work gross in-
Justice TO conscientious and honest
growers. After the fruit is sold it is
the packer who is responsible for the
sorting and not the grower. Hence it
would be thrust in the face of parties
in no measure responsible for the con-
dition to require the branding of pack
ages of fruit with the name OF the
grower who was not responsible for the
packing. We have no doubt the mem
bers of the State Pathological Society
will look carefully after the provisions
of any proposed legislation governing
this important matter.-Turf, Farm aud
