PROPER CARE OF HORSES

A good currying occasionally does
not make sleek horse. II takes
every day grooming to open the pores,
soften the skin and produce a good

The colts training must begin

be put on so he can be caught and
handled every day. Never tease him
Regularity OF work counts In every
thing. and especially In the handling
of animals.
The horse that is worked regularly
acquires strong muscles and tough
shoulders.
Many farmers allow their work
horses to remain idle for several days
or weeks at a time. and then immcdi-
ately put them into hard service.
A horse that has been idle for sew
eral days should be given very light
and moderate work for the first day or
two. so that the muscles and skin Will
regain their strength and toughness.
II is a better plan to arrange some
work for the horses daily. In this way
their bodies never become soft and
weak. hence they seldom become III
or injured and arc always In training
for efficient service.

FORMING A DAIRY HERD
Much Care Should Be Exercised
in the Selection of the
Parent Stock.

Those about to embark upon a STOCK
breeding enterprise should see tnat
before n single animal is bought. th'
farm Is provided with suitable buiiu
ings for the purpose, and In the mex
place procure the services of an ex-
pcricnced and thoroughly skilled stock
man. and every successful breeder o,
farm animals will indorse the wisdom
and soundness OF this advice.
Beginners should not be tempted tc
buy on show yard rather than herd
book qualifications. The aspfraDt who
is most likely to roalizc his desires If
the man who makes up his mind as
~ the particular strain or type of AMI
re, he Is to produce. and. having done
. ~. s4soluteIy carries out his fdcas In
,ayrs1r Consequently he should not
..s9ss himself to be tempted on any
account TO buy animals not exactly OF
the pedigree or class likely TO improve
his herd merely because that animal
has achieved notable triumphs in the
show yard
In the case of bulls the need for such
cxacting discrimination is especially
necessary. as many Il herd has been
temporarily and aople permanently dc.
ductions of this kind. The would be
breeder should especially be on his
guard against the acquisition of cows
and heifers that have been prominent
prize winners, not only for the reason
that such animals usually command
higher prices, but also on the ground
that they are less reliable breeders. :
AS 10 the selection OF bulls. especial
care should be taken as 10 the breed
Ing of the animals in relation to the
cows In his herd, and II is also urged
that as far as may be practicable the
sires selected should be calculated by
their own individual merit 10 correct
any possible defect In tho conformation
of the COWS
The advantages possessed by winter
calves over those born in spring or
summer are sufficiently tangible to
warrant efforts on the part OF the
breeders to have their calves arrive
before the advent of spring.
It is allowable for pcdigreed cows to
suchle their calves. but In order TO en-
courage the milking propensities Of the
COW 1t should be insisted upon that
each animal be MIXED dry at least
once a day until such time as the calf
is able to take the whole of the dams
milk
This is an excellent method and if
it were strictly adhered to and no spare
milk allowed to remain in the cows
udder there would be fewer complaints
as to the milking qualities of our beef
producing breeds.
From about weeks old calves arc
allowed to lick a little finely crushed
oil cake. and by and by turnips arc
also given to the earlier calves, and
then for some time before and after
weaning crushed oil cake Is again
given. and later on a mixture OF bran.
linseed meal and ground locust beans
takes the place OF the oil cake, and
later still the turnips arc by degrees
introduced to form the bulky part of
the ration.

LITTLE HELPS FOR FARMERS WIFE

Cellars should be kept scrupulously
neat and clean, especially when under
living rooms and where vegetables are
stored. Vegetables should frequently
he examined and sorted over. One de-
caying potato will affect the air not
only of the room in which it is placed
but the odor will penetrate the rooms
above and often tho entire house.
Unslaked. lime and a vessel of chic
ride OF lime should always be kept in
a cellar that is under a living room,
the unslaked lime laid loose in damp
corners and the walls of the cellar
whitcwashed at least once a year.
Do not wrap silverware In printed
newspapers. as the chemicals In the
ink will tarnish the silver.
To clean silver, mix sweet oil and
ammonia with whiting and rub with
a soft cloth, washing afterward In clear
hot water. Soap is said 10 dim silver.
Rub the edges OF the bureau or chf-
fonicr drawers with soap or common
tallow to prevent sticking,
To clean carpet on the floor: After
sweeping thoroughly. wipe 1t carefully
with IL clean cloth wrung out of hot
water containing ammonia. This Will
brighten the colors, absorb the dust
remaining after sweeping and frcshcn
the carpet wonderfully.
Place wooden choppng bowls upside
down when not In use TO prevent split
ting.
White wash-silk waists or skirts can
he cleaned in tepid (ncvcr hoD water
in which white soap has been dis
solved. Do not rub on a board, but
wash gently with the hands and hang
up by shoulders or bands without
wringing. Should he ironed before per-
fcctly dry and never rolled or sprin-
klcd. Done carefully in this way,
wrinkles may be avoided and the silk

BY placing screen in front OF a

sleepers are shielded from a direct

PEAR TREES PROFITABLE

The soil best adapted to the growth
OF the pear is claycy loam, very
light soil not being conducive to long
evity nor to fine growth or much fruit
fuIncss. and very heavy soil retard-
ing growth and stunting the trees every
way
No matter how desirable the soil
may be otherwise, unless well drained
the trees Will not thrive.
Pears grow over n wide range oil
climate. however, but the best results
arc obtained in rather moderate eli
mate.
When tree gets stuntcd the first
or second year no amount OF caro- and
attention seems to enable il TO re-
gain the lost growth,
Time can usually be gained by not
plowinS the entire tract OF land nj
once. but thoroughly plow and work UP
strips for the tree rows. say six OF
eight burrows wide. the Intervening
space being worked up later or when
there is more time.
The standard varieties should be
planted about twenty five feet apart
each way and the dwarf twelve fce'
apart each way. Some growers plant
alternate rows OF dwarf and standard
varieties. Most people prefer to have
them kept In separate fields. however
Dig holes at tho proper distance
about foot deep and large enough to
contain the roots nicely without cramp-
Ing; have a half barrel or tub of good
rich mud near at hand, and when the
broken or crushed roots are removed
with sharp knife dip the trees into
the tub. covering the roots with this
mud. and In this way insuring the
earth clinglng to the roots
Some good rich soil should be sprin-
kled In the bottom of the hole. Then
set the tree In, spreading the roots
nicely and then shovel the soil in care
fully, settling the tree from time to time.
and In this way have the soil we'll down
among the roots.
When the hole is about two thirds
full. press down firmly with the feet
and then fill up and complete the job.
