STRONG TEAMS ARE NEEDED
Crops often Made or Saved by Proper
Horse PoWer-Farmer Should
Keep Brood Mares.

In these days there Is much greater
demand on the horse strength of a
farm than there was in the pre-ma-
chinery days, and the possession of a
sufficient number of workers to fully
horse the various implements Of the
w~ell-equipped farm often means the
saving of a crop in the best possible
condition, whereas hindrances through
lack Of horse power causes loss of
good weather and damage forage or
grain.
OF course 1t Is possible to have too
many horses, and especially those of
the unsound or aged class, but of i'm
proving vigorous geldings under, say
eight years old, it is hardly possible
to have too many. The surplus may
be reckoned as a salable asset at any
time, and mares which are bringing a
foal almost every year, besides help
ing in the collar for more than half
of their time, cannot be described as
useless drOnes.
It is the best policy, therefore, for
every farmer to make his farm self
supporting in its horse supply by keep
ing as many good brood mares as
there is need and convenience for,
and use the best available sire so that
each succeeding generation may be an
Improvement On the parent stock in
value, in appearance and for work.
For t~ractability, together with &C
tivity, the sire of today is a long way

heeled specimens of by-gone days. He
is fiat limbed, smart, and free in his
movements, and il battered as a foal

age the breaking in IS a very simple
process, and all kinds of work is read

KEEPING SHEEP AT PASTURE
,nimaIs Should Have Free Access to
Water at All Times-Pine Tar
Is Excellent Fly Cure.

Sheep do not require as much water
as cattle, but they should have access
to water when they do want it. When
the weather is dry and the nights
cloudy. when no dew falls, they may
suffer If not watered. If there is no
stream of water in the pasture the
flock should be driven to water once
daily.
The fly will make its appearance in
midsummer. The fly aims to deposit
its eggs within or close to the nostrils
of the sheep. This is accompanied by
no pain to the sheep; the eggs hatch
In a few weeks and the little worm
ascends the nostrils making the poor
animal almost wild with nervous dis

business woman who fully under
stands office needs finds splendid use
for the summer golf stocks, or those
provided for any sport. Failing to find
these, she goes to the haberdasher
and gets the manly thing in a small
size, and as all such simple and neat
tiXings are far cheaper than the
fussier feminine ones there is always
enough for changes. Plain white
stocks Of doubled pique, rough linen
and plain and patterned madras are
now being sold at % cents, these cost
ing one dollar and sometimes more at
the beginning of the season.
But as the stocks are high and need
to be drawn rather snugly for a good
effect, they are Numbered without
starch, which makes them cooler and
softer to the throat. In fact, as far as
starch is concerned the smarter wom-
en- rather eschew it for all their work
ing collars and waists, thinking 1t far
more important to consider the beauty
Of the throat and comfort than the
stiffness once thought so proper for
office clothing. There are some negli-
gee collars of white China silk, the
ends b%uttoning down so that the band
has a high, close look, which would be
just the thing for the colored flannel
waists the business girl must soon
consider-that is, If she wears wool

TO CURE A KICKING HORSE
Animal Eutility Of Trying for Its
Own Sweet Way.

Sooner or later domesticated ami
mails learn that they cannot have their
own way, but must bow to the law OF
humans. Every once in awhile, how
ever, there is born a horse who thinks
he is entitled to his own opinion, and
his favorite way of asserting himself
is kicking the dashboard to bits. Two
Missouri men have devised a harness
which is warranted TO cure this habit.
Straps cross the horses back and
breast and at their functions are fas-
tened the ends Of ropes which engage
the fetlocks of the animals hind legs
in running loops. The other end OF
the ropes are fastened to staples in
the horses stall or to some other sta

HENS OF SKIRTS SLASHED
Narrow D~raperies, at Present So
Much In Vogue. Render This
Style imperative.

Many Of the new skirts have deeply
slashed hens; or, if the hem is not
slashed, the seam Of the overlapping
dTapeTy is left open to a height of
from twelve to fifteen inches. In many
cases this opening Of the seam or
slashing Of the hem is absolutely nee
essary. because the skirt is so narrow
that otherwise the wearer could not
step.
Every indication points to the on
tinuanCe of the short jacket for
tailored suits. Twenty-siX inches is
the approximate length that will be
most in use. Throughout the sum
mer slightly shorter effects have pre-
vailed, and the abruptly cut away or
eton front, with the position back,
has been considerably seen. But in
the preparation Of fall models dress
makers and tailOrs both suggest that
the length in front be increased;
therefore, models of this kind are be-
ing modified to the more practical
form for winter.
The almost form fitting, though
straight line cut jacket is much seen
in Paris. Nearly all Of the tailors con
tinue to cut the Jacket very fiat over
the hips. One exception is Cabot,
who is putting a slight f~ullness into
the basque of the Jacket, recalling GER
tain quaint, old fashioned styles. This
form Of jacket always runs consider
ably shorter to the front; the fullness
or ripple in the back Is so slight as to

Concrete is the

product made by using
some brand of Portland
cement with sand, gravel
or broken stone and
water. The cement is the ma
terial which binds the sand,
gravel or broken stone to-
gether; this binding action is
produced by water. The terms
"Cen7ent' and "Coac,rH"
thus have different meanings,
although they are frequently used
INTERCHANGEABLE. While cement is
only one of the materials in eoncrrt,
it is perhaps the most important. To
insure the best results in concrete work,
the highest grade of Portland cement
should be used. The concrete worker
