A Pair Of Good Brood Mares Will Pay
Their Way on the Farm.
AS it costs from $50 to 500 year to
keep horse on the farm, it is prob
lem for every farmer to solve, writes
W. W. Hunter in the National Stock
man. How many can we afford to
keep or how few can we get along with
and not be out of season getting crops
planted and harvested? A pair of
good brood mares will. believe, solve
this problem better and more profitably
than any other system, provided good
judgment is used in breeding and care
of the mares and the colts. By good
management the produce of the mares
and the growth of the colts ought to
pay all the expense of keeping, and
thus the horse power on the farm can
be source Of profit rather than bill
Of expense, as it usually is. Another
advantage in the system suggested is
that after the colts get two or three
years old the farmer will have an ex-
ira team to help get his crop in or off
just at the right time.
In our climate there are about four
months in the year when about twice

Garbage Poisoning.

All hog raisers should be careful In
feeding garbage from large cities OF
towns. Many hogs are raised exclu.
sively on this stuff. and they very OF.
ten develop serious intestinal disorders
the symptoms and LESSONS Of which
may be mistaken for cholera. It has
been found that the cause Of this dis
ease is in the presence of powdered
soaps in the garbage. These soaps ir.
ritate and inflame the lining Of the
intestinal canal and act as poisons, at
times killing the hogs. Miscellaneous
garbage Is dangerous. If it is from
your own table you may know what
is in it; otherwise it may contain rank
poison.-Rural Farmer.

roof is essential. and the three closed
sides should be tight enough to keep
out cold. driving rains, SHOWS and very
cold winds. The south side may be
left entirely open for about four feet
from the ground. The cold does not
matter so long as the shed is dry. In
this locality all who use the cold fresh
air sheds have good luck with their
sheep.

The Black Faced Highland Is the
principal sheep of the Scottish
highlands. where 1t is kept in large
flochs. both for its mutton and
fleece. The breed is smaller than
the Cheviot and thrives we'll on
scant pastures and the rough herb
age of mountains. The mutton is
of the finest quality, but its fleece
is coarse and weighs only about
four to five pounds, being of the
class known as carpet woods. The
marks of this sheep are black or
notified face, with strong and prom
inent nose. The horns of the ram
are large and heavy, with one or
two spiral turns, according to age.
The ram shown was prize winner

considerable difference in the num-
Der and the health of the foals. A
farmer in Missouri who Is very sue
cessful with horse breeding attrib-
utes much of his success to q little
extra care of the mares. One thing
he emphasizes and which is a small
item, but nevertheless important, Is
that the men must always walk in
from the fields instead of riding one
of the mares. Overheating, heavy
pulling or long standing tied up in
a stall has considerable effect on
the health and the chances of life

The New York Journal is sending
to the country press copy OF us
issue of August 10. containing a
lengthy editorial upon the temper
ance question in which that news
paper advises the country editor to
take up the temperance question and
solve it right off the bat and quick
The Journals manner of solving the
important issue is for the country
papers to make crusade against
the drinking of whiskey and favor
ing the temperate use of beer and
light wines. The Journal is satls-
fled in its own mind that prohlbl-
tory laws but increase the abuse Oh
the stronger alcoholic beverages up
ON the ground that where liquor is
prohibited it is drunk in its strong
err forms with a wake of much mere
harm than follows saloon and lam
ily drinking. The Journal points
out that the whiskey drinking ma
tons are the inert and unsuccessful
nations, while the nations which
drink beer and light wines are well
up in the first rank. 1t makes the
claim that beer is the beverage O.
the workingman and that no amount
of law or persuasion in this or tie
succeeding century will keep it from
being so. Instead of wasting time
making the effort to prohibit the use
of all alcoholic beverages the Jour-
nal would have the country arse n
its wrath and swat whiskey off the
face of the earth and leave the
milder forms OF alcoholic stimu-
lants alone. All of which in this
day and age might appear most
sensible
