PREFERS THE LIGHT HORSES
Eastern Farmer Gives His Reasons

Regarding the kind of horses that
eastern farmers should raise, I think
the light are preferable, but it is
difficult matter to find two persons to
hold the same opinion, writes w. S.
Hutchings of Monroe county. New
York, in American Agriculturist
Much depends upon the breed and
energy Of the animal. My experience
has been that a light horse of the
hackney type and energy gives the
best results. My reasons for prefer
ring the light horse are twofold The
highways are constantly being i'm
proved; time is money, and the light
horse on such roads can develop more
speed tnan the heavy one and is
capable Of drawing the usual load
that farmers have. lessening the cost
of labor. No doubt a poor road re-

being from time to time made lighter
and easier running, the light horse
can draw the implement, and in max

and not trample on the product as
much as the heavy horse will
For draying purposes in cities, pos

ferred While the roads are good, the

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
a railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not
district of fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces of
but has its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to it's own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense of tuition is
but nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers of
that country is about 1875 million dol
lars, as compared with 120 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it?'
With crops yielding them a profit of
$40 TO SIS per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states, and they all ex-
press themselves as well satisfied,
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
a lot Of free homestead land in SPLEEN
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies.

CORRECT PEDIGREE OF LAMBS
OF Great Importance TO the Breeder
and Can Be Done with Very
Little Inconvenience.
RY W z GILRERTl


The Importance of the lambing sea
son TO the stud sheep breeder canno1
be overestimated, for as year succeeds
year it is becoming more and more
evident that the full individual pedi-
grees are being required in increasing
numbers for sheep that are sold for
breeding
It IS said by many that it is almost
impossible to get the correct pedigree
of the lambs This, however, has been
proved over and over again to be a
fallacy, for there are many fiocks scat
tered throughout this country in
which the full individual pedigree OF
each sheep is recorded.
To say there is no trouble attached
to it would be wrong, but to say that
the trouble entailed is insurmountable
is equally wrong All that is necessary
is that proper arrangements should be
made for the work and if these ar
rangements are made it will surprise
many to find how little time and trou-
BILE is necessary.
An hour or SO in the largest fiocks
each morning will suffice to make the
necessary entries and to do the mark
ing of lambs
The return for this little trouble is
great, as it places upon record the
produce of each individual in the
flock, it gives a record of the result
Of mating of the different sires, it en-
ables the flock owner to trace out
with certainty the result of the mat
ing of different strains of blood and
It shows conclusively the value not
only of the different sires used, but
also of the individual ewes Of the
flock
In another manner it is valuable be
cause it is a check upon the shepherd,
providing record of the number OF
lambs produced and the number
reared.
1t enables many a good eve to be
kept on as a breeder and records the
evidence as to whether ewes or
strains are twin breeders or single
lamb breeders.

Why does Great Britain buy its
oatmeal of us?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases Of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods Of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports of Quaker Oats. This brand is
recognized as without rival in clean
illness and delicious flavor. 81

Eaev with the Nervous Horse

To cure a "scary" or nervous horse
none but gentle measures are of any
use. To whip a horse for shying at
an object only makes him the more
afraid of it, as, of course, he will con.
meet the whipping with it.
Sometimes horses are made scary
+ having their foretops hanging over
4eir eyes, which gives objects the ap.
pearance of moving.
When a horse SHES at an object
speak kindly and reassuringly to him
and gently urge him III, to it, let him
smell of it and see that it does not
hurt him. He will soon learn to have
more confidence both in himself and
his master.

that is used by many good breeders
with success: Powdered anise seed,
two ounces; Jamaica ginger. five

six ounces; sulphate of iron, four

equal parts of oats and bran. Besides
being a worm-destroyer. this remedy
assists in toning up the system.
