plow with a team OF horses Of the
harness type. Farmers are plowing
deeply these days, and it is distressing
to see light team struggling with a
heavy plow.
The general tendency, therefore, is,
when a light team is used, to allow
the plow to skim the ground in order
TO ease up on the team. II a team
Of sturdy draft horses, weighing 1900
to 1900 each is used, they walk along
with plow, running from six TO eight
inches deep, without the slightest dis
tress.
The English Clydesdales and crosses
resulting from the use Of French or
German coach horses make a good
all-round farm team. The infusion of
the French or German Coach blood
produces horse of good action, while
the blood Of the Clydesdales, Shires
and Percherons keeps him heavy
enough, and close enough to the
ground to pull almost any load with

The Southern herald., 1912-05-03

Farmers in the south still cling
% the light breeds Of horses, mainly
because there is more horseback rid
ng done, and the average farmer
wants a horse for all-around pur-
,oses.
In the north, the heavy breeds. such
IS the Percherons, Clydes and Shires
ire most generally used.
The wise farmer will raise the type
of horse best adapted to his needs.
Generally speaking. where only one
team can be kept on the farm, the
horses should be sizeable enough to
pull a plow or draw a heavy wagon
load with comparative ease, and at
the same time light enough to get
along over the road with a surrey or
light rig at a fairly good gait.
If farmer keeps a number of
horses he will, of course, use the
heavy type for plowing and other
heavy farm work, and keep a light
harness team for the road.

turer. Cheap coal or wood as well as
good limestone are essential to the
success of home burning. The rock
should quarry out" easily; that is, it
should come out in strata or layers.
1t should analyze at least 30 per cent
of carbonate Of lime.
The following is description Of
cheap and easily made kiln, and the
method Of burning. A suitable loca-
ton near the quarry is chosen, pre-
ferably the side OF a hill. An excava-
ton is made ten feet into the hill and
to a depth OF seven feet The width
of the kiln is eight feet at its greatest
breadth, sloping gently at the bottom.
A trench eighteen inches wide and one
foot deep is dug through the center,
at the base of the kiln. Across the
trench are placed pieces of old cast
ings, which serve the purpose of a
CRATE. The front and side walls of the
kiln are built like a retaining wall.
The rear walls are sometimes built
of rock, but usually no wall is built,
as the sides Of the hill answer this
purpose. Che general plan Of the kiln
is oval, both at the base and top.
Over the crate in the center of the
kiln, at the bottom, is placed layer
Of coal of sufficient size not to pass
through the openings. On the top OF
this layer Of coal is placed the lime
stone rock, which may vary In size
from to 12 inches in diameter. Alter
nate layers of fine coal and rock are
now introduced, and this is continued
until the kiln is filled, leaving an open
lug in the rear, at the top, large
enough to serve the purpose Of flue.
When the kiln has been filled, it is
covered with layer of fiat rocks and
the front is then enclosed with rock
and sealed with mud. In the trench
at the bottom Of the kiln enough wood
Is introduced to set fire to the coal.
The burning is continued for from two
to three days, with three to five days
for cooling.
A kiln of these dimensions will fur
nish from $50 to 300 bushels Of stone
lime at each charge. The amount OF
coal used to a charge is 100 bushels
to 300 bushels of rock. II much mag
nesia, silica, and alumina are present
in the limestone, 1t fuses readily and
in such cases care must be taken to
keep the temperature below the melt
ing point so as to prevent forma
ton of Stag, and the making Of dead
burnt" or "overburnt" lime.
To build and operate the kiln re

eight to ten days, at cost Of about
$3.50 per day. The coal used varies

vegetable substances. Butcher and
table scraps given when fresh are the
main reliance. The food should not
be salted, and fresh water should be
supplied regularly.
Skunks are especially fond Of in
sects, and If the pens are large
enough and favorably placed, the ami.
mails will forage for part of their
food.
At least an acre Of ground should
be inclosed for each fifty skunks, and
even then there is danger Of canni-
balism unless there are plenty Of
separate dens for the females. The
fence should be made Of poultry net
ting 1h-inch mesh. The posts should
be set in bitches IS inches or more
in depth, which should be filed with
broken stone or concrete. Another
plan is to extend the. wire netting
underground. The fence should be
three or four feet high and have an
overhang at the top to keep the anil
mails from climbing over.
Skunks breed once a year and pro
duce from six to eight young. They
are born in May or June, and mature
by December.

GETTING OVER BOIL WEEVIL
Clearly Demonstrates That Prsssnee
Of Pest Viii Never Prevent the
Raising Of cottea

Il has been well demonstrated that
the boil Weevn viii never prevent the
raising OF cotton over any consider
able area OF the cotton belt. A suf-
fciently large area has already been
invaded BY the weevns and AFFORD ex-
perienee and observation under a
wide range OF varying conditions.
says Progressive Farmer Il is not
likely that results will be materially
different in the area yet to be invad-
ed BY the weeyils than they have been
in some parts OF the territory already
infested.
1t seems quite safe, therefor, to
conclude that for several years after
the weeyils came into any section
cotton growing will be much iessened
and that the average man viii fail to
make cotton on-a living basis. OF
course some win continue to make
cotton profitable. but they are so ex-
ceptiond that they do not change
general conditions. But after a few
years the acreage cultivated in cotton
will begin to increase and the crop
will be made at a fair profit.
The latest example OF these results
is to be found in louisiana The area
in cotton is increasing quite rapidly
and the yields per acre, as compared
with the first two or three years after
the coming Of the weevils, are also
increasing very markedly This will
probably be the experience Of other
sections more recently or yet to be

But one important fact has been

Many attempts have been made to
raise skunks for their fur, but the en-
terprises have usually been given up
as improbable. According to the bio
logical survey of the United States
department of agriculture, the chief
causes Of failure have been cost Of
fencing Enclosures, cost Of mainte-
nance or lack of experience, leading
to overcrowding and overfeedlng the
animals. In many cases, where the
animals were successfully reared, it
was found that the expense Of feed
Ing them to maturity exceeded the
value of the fur, while in other in
stances the antipathy Of the neigh
bors led to the abandonment of the
experiments. At present the value of
the best black skins would probably
allow a margin Of profit in rearing
this class of skunks. The survey
gives the following hints on skunk
farming:
In the matter Of food, the chief aim
should be to supply suitable and suf.
ticient diet at reasonable cost. A GER

MAKING FRIENDS

By Doing So Farmer VIII Not
Have So Much Trouble
An Breaking In the
Young Animals.

Many good horses are spoiled when
colts by improper training. They may
have been teased by children, where
upon they developed a mean disposi-
tion.
To make a colt easy to break, you
should make friends with it. Gain its
confidence by feeding it from your
hand, petting and currying. A colt is
nearly half broken when you can
catch 1t anywhere.
The colt should first be halterbroke.
At first you will need the assistance
of driver, but he should be dis
pensed with as soon as possible.
A good way to halterbreak colt
is alongside horse. The rider can
act as leader and driver. Some per-
sons tie the colt to the harness Of the

work horse or trotter. This not only
teaches the colt to lead, but also
shows it its place. When the har.
ness is to be put on it should be done
very gently, letting the colt become
used to it. Then drive it, using short
lines. When the colt is old enough
to do light work give it few lessons
with the wagon plow, harrow or any
two.horse implement, always beside a

The farmers Of the North and west
have furnished us mules, horses, pork,
lard, and other farm products for
many years. A mighty change has
taken place in the boil weevil districts

the farmers in the weevil districts.
