Spring Horse BuyIno.

The spring housekeeping rush has
struck us again this year. Everybody
seems 10 want a new team OF horses
or mules at this time of the year. The
man who has any 20 sell does not
have TO go out TO make a sale. Horse
buyers make a beaten path 20 his
door. The man who is compelled Ia
buy at this season OF the year must
pay the highest price in order TO Get
what he wants
Il is an undisputed fact that the
growing OF young horses and mules as
a side line TO general farming is prof.
liable business. Colts have come TO
be as good as cash at any time after
weaving. Every farmer ought 20 keen
at least a team OF mares and breed
them every year. With careful han
ding they will make a fun team and
grow two good colts with very little
extra care and cost Young horses
are not all profit They cannot be
grown for nothing; yet every pound
OF young horse or mule flesh repre
sents probably more clear gain for
the amount OF food consumed than that
of any other animal grown on the
farm.

Maintain Fertility Of the Soil

AS much as II has been talked
about. the greatest problem that vet
confronts the American farmer is the
increasing and maintaining OF soil fer
tility Fertilizers outside OF the home
farm supply are a variable quantity.
expensive and difficult TO secure. The
only source 10 be relied upon is the
home stable
The foundation for the Increasing
OF soil fertility is stable manure. To
produce Il the farmer must keen
horses a cows. In keeping them he
can MAJ a profit from the animals
thems"' s.. and he is also able to In.
crease the general profits OF the farm
through a judicious use OF the manure
they produce. In this way he Is
making a double present profit and at
the same time maintaining the fertfl-
ity OF HIS farm for future profit and
general satisfaction in growing things
II a farm, for want OF sufficient fer
tilization, is gradually decreasing in
fertility the owner Is staring a grave
proposition in the face. and he must
be naturally of a very sunny disposi.
ton TO see the right side OF farm life
under such conditions. With pIentv
OF homemade fertilizer and his land
gradually increasing In fertility. he
has good grounds for always being
optimistic. Keeping and breeding an.
finals on the farm makes IT possible.

Watering Hard-workino Horse.

Relative to the watering of horses
while doing hard work a Colorado vet.
erinarian says:
After long. continuous exertfon the
system is greatly depleted of fluid.
Nature calls for it's replacement and
this is the cause Of a thirst which Is
so intense that il the animal is not
restrained at this time he may drink
much more than he needs.
The general custom almost unfver.
sally followed OF giving the morning
meal before water is not very obiec.
tionable. either theoretically or prac.
tically. At this time there is no de.
pletion of fluid; consequently the
horse is not very thirsty and does not
drink rapidly or excessively. and an.
parently very little evil results from
this method. However, It is prefer
able that the horse should have an
opportunity TO drink before the morn.

The SHEEP-KILLING DOGS.
An Effective Method for the Proven
ton OF Destruction OF Sheep by
Providing Animals.

one OF the serious problems a
FARMER has to contend with is the
sheep-killing dog. One good method
is to procure some loud-sounding
bells and attach them to the sheep,
one bell to every twenty head. This
WilI not keep away every dog, but Il
VIII scare out many of them. The
average sheep-killer breads publicity,
and any noise that will attract atten-
ton TO his movements will cause him
TO leave the farm.
When the dog that is not afraid Of
sheep bells comes along. If any Of
the people are at home and awake
the bells will be heard and the sheep
rescued.
To safeguard against the attacks at
night and when all are away from
home surround one permanent pas
ture with woven wire fence and
make a gate of the same material or
OF high pickets. so that no dog can get
into that field. Put the sheep in that
lot at night and whenever there is
no one 10 hear the bells and to pro

POULTRY AND DAIRY NEGLECT
Two Branches OF Agriculture Being
Overlooked That Pay Good Prof
its 70 the Farmer

There are two branches Of agricul-
ture which pay larger than any others
for the investments in them in tho
central western states that are the
most neglected. We refer TO the
dairy and poultry industries, SAYS the
Indiana Farmer. IL is true that I'm a
way they are both pursued on the
farm. but back in the years when but.
ter sold for and cents a pound.
chickens 81 a dozen and eggs at ;
and cents per dozen the men on
the farm tabooed them and thought
these industries we're too trifing. and
they have never gotten over Il. IL
is good illustration Of the force OF
early habits. for IL sticks TO most
farmers yet, though dairying and
poultry demands have quadrupled
prices in many respects. The ancient
COWS which made but two or three
pounds OF butter a week and the dung.
hill chicks that were In the same
scant class probably had something
70 do with forming this habit: but
now that we have passed these things
by. isn't IL time to take notice more
generally and to give the most prof
liable Industries of the farm greater
and more methodical attention?
II is also 10 be said OF the dairy In.
dustry that it is one OF the greatest
factors in keeping up soil fertility.
Experience has shown that where
dairying is followed as leading fea.
ture OF the farm the average Weld OF
corn and other crops is decidedly I'm.
creased. Corn and corn silage are
leading features in the industry. as
by this method the greater produc.
tons OF the farm are returned TO the
soil TO enrich It, Rotating corn and
clover, both of which are required I'm
dairying. insures the nitrogen and
humus so essential in the soil. Clover
or alfalfa. where IL can be grown
along with corn and corn silage, make
a coed ration for cows and make
good rotations. With these farm
crops but little bran and cotton seed
meal are needed in dairy feeding TO
make a balanced ration.

Ten Alfalfa Dnn,ts-

Ten things which the grower OF
alfalfa is urged not TO do are enumer-
ated In farmers bulletin 339. by ]. M.
Westgate, issued by the department
of agriculture at Washington. Some
points on which Mr.. Westgate laws
special stress are as follows:
Don't fail to provide for ample I'm.
oculation; soil from an old alfalfa
field is best.
Don't sow poor or weedy seed.
Don't SOW on a weedy soil
Don't sow on any but a sweet. we'll.
lined soil.
Don't SOW on poorly drained soil.
Don't SOW on any but a finely pre-
pared, well-settled seed bed.
Don't pasture the first or second
year.
Don't lose the leaves: they consti.
tute the best part OF the hay.
Don't seed large acreage to begin
with Experiment on small area
first.
Don't give up. Many prominent nj.
falfa growers finally succeed oniy
after many failures.

Sunshine is the best tonic known for

the case a very hasty exit. We lose
