Wanted to Spend Something.

A fairly well dressed individual

Careful Horse.Rreedina Pays.

Certain countries are noted for the
superior quality of their draught
horses. They include Ontario, Huron
and Perth. This is the result of care
full and intelligent breeding. Pure
bred sires, that were sound and OF
good weight and quality have been
used for the last forty years. The
farmers of these sections are now
reaDing the reward of the intelligence
and forc-thought they have put into
business. Dealers who purchase horses
by the carload, know that they can
secure the right kind in large num-
bers in these counties and they are
willing to pay higher price for them
than where the distance to be trav-
elled in their purchase is greater, as
1t costs less for buying them.
The good quality of the sires used
has had much to do in bringing about
such satisfactory results. The farm
ers. also, for the most part have been
consistent in their chosen line of
breeding. They have stayed with the
Clydesdale through all these years and
the result is that many of the mares
are registered and bring an enhanced
price for breeding purposes.
This is in marked contrast with
some other sections where a look at
the average horses OF the neighbor-
hood will reveal to the expert judge
mixture of nearly all the known
breeds that go to produce the general
purpose horse. Although a very use
full animal for such work, the general
purpose horse seldom brings a fancy
price on account of the market being
pverstocked with them.
The chief mistake that is made con-
sists in raising a filly from a sire of
one breed and then using the sire of
another breed on that filly When
such q course of breeding is followed,
little is accomplished.-Canada Farm

Rice Sowing in slam.

A very ancient Siamese custom
which takes place annually in May Is
the plowing ceremony, when the first
rice of the year is sown. A patch
of land is selected by Brahmin astrolo-
gers, and in shed, built on the spot,
the minister of agriculture, accompan-
led by two priests, perform variety
of symbolic rites over pair OF oxen.
TO prepare them for their task. The
oxen, decorated with flowers, are next
fastened to plow, which the minister
drives over the field for about an
hour. When he has finished plowlng
four elderly women of the Kings
household sow the ground with con-
secrated rice, leaving the grain I'M
covered. The oxen are then liberated
and several kinds of grain are put be-
fore them. They are carefully watch
ed because of whatever they eat most
therS will be scarcity during the
coming year, while that of which they
eat little will yield abundaptly, so the
superstitious Siamese believe.-Wide

Sugar for Horses.

Good results are said to have been
obtained in France from the feeding
of sugar to overworked horses. Ex-
cessive strain and consequent exhaus-
tion as a result of slippery roads were
lessened in those animals which were
fed sugar daily. Some horses rem
dered unfit for service by overwork
were restored to normal strength by
liberal mixture of sugar with their
feed.-Our Dumb Animals.

Geological History Of River Beds,

Geological History Of River Beds.
Undoubtedly at one time most of the
rivers ran in fuller streams than they
do at the present time, but it Is alto
gether improbable that the present
beds of the Peace and Athabasca riv.
ers were filled to their banks These
river beds have been worn to their
present depth in most instances by the
erosion of the waters. In former
times the courses of many of these
streams were marked by rapids. The
action Of the water has worn the beds
from the high levels that make tho
rapids to the present more uniform
level. 1t Is claimed that the edge of
the falls at Niagara was at one time
much nearer Lake Ontario than at
present. The water is gradually
wearing away the rocky front of the
river bed at the falls. The same &C.
ton has undoubtedly taken place in
most of the rivers with deep beds and
high banks. The opposite effect Is
continually occurring in the case of
rivers with low banks and sluggish
current, as, for example. the Mis-
sissippi. There the bed Is being grad
ually filled up with deposit OF soil
brought down from the tributaries,
such as the Missouri.
