MIx1NG CArruE BREEDS.

There is a good deal of force in
the following. on the subject of cross
ing breeds, by a correspondent Of the
Breeders Gazette. He says:
The tendency. Of the American far
mer in the past has been to hybridiZe
all his farm animals. Even his hens
all became mixture after year or
two. Especially has this been the
case with farmers in the Eastern
States. Those who had Jersey COWS
have crossed and recrossed with Hoi-
stein Fresian bulls until they have got
neither one or the other, and some of
them come very near to nothing. Some
farmers seemed to think they could
outwit the Almighty by crossing the
Jersey with the Holstein and so get
the large flow of the Holstein with the
rich milk OF the Jersey. The differ
ence between the two breeds Is too
great. Nature was shocked and dunn
founded. The result has been in
many cases the small yield of the
Jersey coupled with the poor quality
of the Holstein.
There is a vast difference between
a good Holstein and poor one both
in quality and quantity of milk. Jer-
seys also differ very much in regard
to quantity of milk A herd of first
class Jersey cows. Is as good as a
gold mine to a farmer who knows how
to handle them by judicious selection.
The same can be said of the Holstein
The breeder of Hoistein cattle is quite
apt to condemn the Jersey COW. ami
the Jersey breeder is apt to condemn
the Holstein. There are noble speci-
mems in each breed. and the breeders.
the men who handle the animals, are
responsible for so many poor ones. 1t
is the result OF carelessness, lack of
judgment, taste and discrimination.
The Shorthorns are rapidly coming
to the front and the milking strain
of this breed will doubtless supplant
many of the mongrel Jerseys,and Hol-
stems that now occupy the land.

wide girdle finishes the lower edge,
while the skirt is designed to be Nad-

are shirred and arranged over fitted
Innings, and these Innings should be
of transparent material to give the
best results. The short sleeves are
simple plain ones trimmed In har-
mony with the waist When the high

ton under which they can he kept.
Pumpkins, equashes, carrots, clio
yer, milk oats, shorts and grass make
better feed for hogs than all corn, al
though part corn is good. s
The ewes should be kept in good
condition at the time of the hirth Of
their young, as those in poor condd.
ton are not apt to own their young.
Extensive experiments have shown
that COWS produce more milk and but
ter IL they are turned out of doors a
portion of each day, than those that
are confined in the stalls all the time.
All animals on the farm, and especi.
ally those young and growing, should
nave daily exercise. 1t is needed for
the proper development Of bone and
muscle.
The man who whips horse for shy.
ing IL nothing less that fool. AS a
rule 1t makes the horse shy worse,
and. eventually, will ruin his DISPOSE,
ton. The horse is tiinid, and only
requires encouragement to become
quiet. Speak kindly to him, then lead
MIN up to the object Of his fears, pet
him, let him see what the object is
and in a little while his nervousness
will disappear.
A good lot OF brood sows and
thoroughbred boar or two are good
signs OF prosperity on the farm. There
is always good market for pigs OF
almost any age under II months. All
hogs. except breeding stock, should
not be kept beyond the most profitable
age for the market.
Young horses should be worked
moderately, SO that they may attain
their fuM growth. It Is a bad mistake
10 depend upon them to do all the
work On the farm.
In giving castor oil to animals al.
low one or two pdnts 70 a horse. four
ounces to sheep, two ounces to pigs
amd two ounces to calves. Castor oil
is an excellent purgative. In cases Of
scours It Is advised to give small
doses, combined with laudanum.

not obligatory, for the band on the

BREEDING RHRKsHTREs.


After handling another breed for
number of years we decided that the
Berkshire is the best breed for the far.
mer and so procured some choice
breeding stock and have never re.
GREETED our choice.
We found Berkshire sows to be
good and prolific mothers and the pigs
are active, grow fast and make su.
perior quality of pork. They out.
dress any other breed, in proportion
to live weight, and the meat is better
grained.
We keep quite large herd as II
gives us more choice in selling and
hlling orders We have found that 1t
pays to Gull severely and to use the
knife freely as good market topping
is far better advertisement for
breeder than a poor boar, and we have
found that a really good pig goins
into a neighborhood will always selI
more.
Our farms comprise 1000 acres
of rock river valley land in Winnie
bago County, which is actually the
biggest Berkshire center in Illinois.
The sows of our herd number about
sixty, and represent the best of Berk'
shire blood, tracing to combination
Barrow Lee 9Th, Lord Lee and other
well-known sires. We endeavor at all
times to keep our herds in the best
possible breeding condition, and to
this end give them the range of tho
wooded lots and provide them vita
the best of nutritious foods. y

Another objection is the difficulty OF
keeping the seed from spelling be.
cause you cannot get it dry enough to
store in large quantities without mold

will mould and if you NOW it away
without threshing the heads will rot
But If you have good long poul'

HORSE TERMS.
Horse men are particular to use
proper horse terms in speaking OF
horses and horse paraphernalia. Two
horses is a pair and three horses is
a team. Trey is a French horseman's
expression meaning horses abreast
When one horse is hitched ahead OF
another it is called tandem hitch. II
may be two horse tandem or a three
horse tandem. A good many Ameri
cans are very careless about horse
talk In New England the expression,
Here comes a horse and team" very
often means that one horse is draw.
ing a wagon. Farmers usually refer
to pair of horses as team, but
it is just as easy to be particular
and have things right.-Epitomist.

consequence in getting released in
either sex. If your family or people
combine, you are held for life. Men
placed in such positions, who will
comply with such requests are barba-
