growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,

PROFITABLE TYPE OF HORSE
Old Farmer Tells of Manner in Which
He Makes Animals and Services
Pay for Keeps.

In regard to 1.-The cost of a horse,
l must first m firmly say h a | re-
ceived great profits from my horses
and their services pay me for their
keeping. Am an old farmer and v
had a pure-bred mare, but by good
breeding l now have the seven-eighths
Percheron. Beginning with the suck
ling, they are of no bother to me, for
until they are a month old he mother
is brought up ono in the forenoon
and once in the afternoon, blu after
wards it is kept at the stable, says a
writer tn Baltimore American. Then
in the fall before they are two they
are broke and ready for light service
in the spring. So from the time they
are two years old they pay their own
way. My coming two-year-olds weigh
1900 pounds and bring $3.50. while the
coming three-year-old bring 5000. Thus
by keeping our best young Percheron
mares and clubbing together to buy a
registered stallion l find there Is q
ready sale and clear profit for a farm
er in raising horses, and their services
will pay for their keeping.

ton of the power known as gravita-
ton. We know how to measure this
power, and everybody Is familiar with
its manifestations.
Everybody. on the earth or OF, at
tracts every other body. The amount
of the attraction depends only on the
mass of the two bodies that attract
each other and the distance between
them. Z
Cavendish eliminated the earth as q
distributing factor by making his two
bodies attract each other in a hori-
Zontal direction. The earth's attrac-
ton Is, Of course, vertical. He took a
long, thin stick, very light and six
feet in length, and suspended 1t morn.
zontally by a silver wire fastened to
its middle. To each end Of the rod he
attached little balls or knots Of lead.
The bodies that were to attract
these two knobs were two big balls
of lead. He arranged his apparatus
SO that at a given signal he could
bring the large balls close up to
knobs at the ends of the stick, n
on one side Of the knob. n on
the other side of the knob at the other
end.
He found that when he did this
each knob drew toward the big lead
ball near it. swinging the wooden
rod round on its wire support. With
delicate instruments he measured how
much the rod and the wire twisted
out of place. Thus he could tell what
was the force of attraction-the force
of gravitation-pulling the knobs to-
ward the lead balls. He knew how
much the earth would attract the lit
tie knobs-that is, he knew thei
weight; he knew how much material
there was In the large lead balls he
used, the ratio Of the quantity OF ma
terial in the earth to the quantity IN
the balls of lead followed from the
simple laws established by Isaac New
on.
All the apparatus used is thus COM
~paratively simple-for a scientific ex-
pertinent at any rate. A silk or e
thread can replace the silver wire
used by C%avendish, the knobs n
balls need not be of lead. they can
be Of any material, but the heavier
the better, only they must not be OF
magnetic materfal-iron. for instance
otherwise the effects Of magnetism
would o~vershadow those of gravity.
What you have to do Is to measure
the force that attracts the knobs to
the heavy balls. and the distance De-
tween the knobs and the balls, then
apply the simple formula Of Newton's
laws Of gravitation.

GOOD MUTTON TYPE OF SHEEP
Tendency of Public to Consume More
of Meat Attributed to Careful
Dressing Of Carcasses.

In his work on profitable stock feed
Ing. Prof. H. r. Smith calls attention
to the growing tendency on the part
Of the public to consume more NUT
ton. He attributes this in part to the
fact that mutton are more
carefully dressed and better ripened
than formerly and in addition a better
grade of mutton sheep is being pro-
duced. Furthermore it is marketed
earlier than was the case a few years
ago. During former years when
was higher in price, the country was
largely stocked with fine-woled sheep
of the distinctly wool breeds. These
sheep were retained on the farms per-
haps several years for the annual clip
of wool, and when finally placed upon
make the meat tough, as we'll as
strongly favored. With lower prices
of wool, there have come about marked
changes in the character Of focks.
Rams Of the mutton breeds, including
the Shropshire, Southdown, Hamp-
shire, Cotswold, Oxford, Lincoln and
Leicester, have been crossed upon ma
tive f~ne-wooled ewes, resulting IN a
good quality of mutton stock. These
cross-bred mutton sheep do not pro.
duce so heavy a fleece as do the Mer
mo. and at prevailing prices for zoe
it Is not profitable to carry them over
for their second clip and the little in
crease in weight; but their points OF
excellence for mutton production are
SO much greater han their deficien-
Giles for wool production in compari-
son with the Merino, that they are
now in greater favor. Merino ewes
Of the improved strains are still pre-
ferred for range conditions, because
they not only sheer a heavier fleece,
but their dense, fine wool and smaller
frames make them better able to
withstand the h%ardships Of the range.
With the more recent advance in the
price of wool, there is now a tendency
upon the part Of farmers to retain IN
the breeding ewes somewhat more OF
the Merino blood, depending upon the
heavy mutton rams to produce a type
of lamb which has proved very salts

what smaller than higher grades Of
mutton stock.

SELLING Steer Calves.

1t is not always the best plan to dis
pose of beef cattle as yearlings, but
In many instances in the corn-belt
area 1t has come to be a common
practice, and is followed by a consid-
cradle number of cattle raisers; con-
sequently, this work of the Indiana
experiment station will prove of great
value to those following the plan of
selling early. 1t was pointed out
among other things, also, that If it
were possible to turn the calves out
on pasture early in the season, before
the grass had started, still continuing
the feed used in the dry lot, SO that
the steers would become accustomed
to the grass very gradually, there
would be little advantage in the dry
lot feeding, except hat due to the pre-
MUM paid for dry-fed cattle on the
central markets. This higher price is
secured because of the general belief
that the from dry-fed cattle
are superior to those from CRASHED.

HANDY DOOR FOR HOG HOUSE
Annoyance Of Cleaning Away Snow or

Door illustrated.

The annoyance of cleaning awaJ

swinging door before it can be opened
can be easily avoided by employing the
simple sliding door shown in lllustra-
ton. This is exceptionally useful on
the sheep or hog house, and may be EN-
ployed on other buildings where a
swinging door would be in the way
when opened. The door is constructed
in the usual name and then arranged
on the building to slide up or down in
two tracks or grooves, which may be
made by mailing two boards together
with the edge of one overlapping the
one on the side of building. Two pull

Care of Sheen.

when abundance of such forage CAL

change. Try say 20 or 25 head OF
ewes, and prepare to care for increase,

loss will not hurt so badly. l have had
some experience in sheep raising In

when he was noble grand OF Wash

Fellows organized in America. This
lodge was organized at the tavern of
the Seven Stars, I'd street. Baltimore.
Aug. &c, 1919. The chair was left to
James L. Ridgely by Wildey at his
death.
Ridgely was for many years promi-
nen in Odd Fellowship in Baltimore.
holding the office of grand sire and
later secretary of the sovereign grand
lodge. 1t was given by Ridgely to
James H. Downs Of Baltimore, who
was also prominent in Odd Fellowship.
and a representative to h sovereign
grand lodge from Friendship lodge OF
Baltimore. Mr.. Downs died In Balti-
more at tbs age Of 81 years in 1904.
After his death the chair was given
by his widow to her son-in-law, Ed
ward c. Harding, whose home is at so
Florence street, Brockton.
Mr.. Harding is a member OF Ply
mouth lodge of Abingdon. The chair
was shown some time ago at an Odd

that after his death 1t shall either go

sibly be sent to Baltimore to be placed
with a valuable collection of memen-

Starting With Sheep.

AS a rule, sheep owners place too
much importance Upon the selection
of the ram, and too little upon the Sc
lection of good, uniform breeding
ewes. There is no question but that
a good pure-bred ram can do much
to improve a flock of grade ewes, but
as the flock more nearly reaches per-
lection it is very necessary to devote
more attention to selecting the breed
ing ewes, or else further improvement
will be out of the question.
In starting with sheep, 1t is advis-
able to select a few good ewes and
a pure-bred ram, and gradually en-
large the flock as we gain a better
knowledge Of the flock business.
