HINTS OF HORSES AND MULES
Pleasure and Inspiration in Breeding
and Handling of High Glass Ami
mals-Money in Drafters.

in the fields a big team makes haste
by the width of the furrow or swath
they cut
There is pleasure and inspiration
in the business of breeding and hand
ling high class horses.
Bear in mind in breeding horses
that it is just as essential to breed
good feet on to them as to get weight
and blood in them.
The pure bred mare is a good in
vestment to the small farmer, and il
he will allow her to share the work
OF the place she will do nearly as
much work as gelding, and raise a
good colt beside.
The drafter can make more money
by his great efficiency at heavy work
than the light horse can by his greater
speed on the road
Nowadays farmers are awakening to
the fact that it takes strong horses to
do good work on the farm.
The stall-f1oor in the horse stables
should be level; inclined planes are
injurious The horse is forced to
stand in a cramped position, and II

abled.
It does not matter so much what
sort of a floor is put in, as the care
taken of it. Plenty Of bedding must
Je used at all times. If cement is
used rough-furnish 1t to prevent slip
ping and Gripping.
Wooden floors are too dry, and have
and injurious effect upon tho hoofs;
beside there is the ever present dan
ger of splintering.
A clay floor tamped down well, and
then covered with cinders, makes an
ideal floor for such stalls.
The man who. will put frosty bride
bits in the horses mouth ought to
have the same frosty pair rammed
into his own mouth a few times to
show him Just how it feels.

The gasoline engine is a very handy

Its care is very simple. First comes

A clean spark plug is necessary at

mixture of gasoline and air must be
just right for the most effective work

Adjustments of this kind are simple
to learn and should be understood by
the man who has charge of the engine
A frequent cause of trouble is the
failure to strain the gasoline when
filling the tank. Pay but little atten-
ton to men who claim that their gaso-
line is absolutely clean, or the result
will be disastrous
Strain the gasoline through a
chamois or a finely meshed strainer.
Good lubricating oil is another inn
portant essential. No gasoline-engine

Indians Becoming Too Refined.

Following an old custom the

a Tonkaway chief expressed himself

FEW PRACTICAL DUCK NOTES
Avoid Danger of Fowls Becoming
Frightened and Smotherine Each
Other-keep Food Clean.

Shavings make the best beds for
ducks. Let the ducks make their own
nests in the shavings.
Unless a lantern or some other light
is kept burning at night in sheds
where large numbers of ducks are con-
fined, they are apt to become fright
sned and huddle together and smother
each other.
1t doesn't pay to feed duck after
it is ten weeks old.
Ducks will eat anything that is set
before them, but their food should
always be clean. If it is sour or con-
tains tainted meat, it will cause death
If much green food is fed ducks be-
fore marketing it will produce yellow
flesh. Some poultry dealers like this
color and others do not, and there
you are.

The improper handling of eggs
throughout the country causes an
enormous loss, the amount extending
into many millions of dollars annually
1t is an established fact that strictly
fresh eggs command a higher price
than those commonly designated as
store eggs, and if the farmer, who is
the largest producer of this we'll

take more care in selecting. grading
and marketing this product he would
receive price higher than the aver

which had characterized all Belmont
papers in the past. Already the News

Il wanted to surprise you," she
laughed. "Annabel Hitchcock's aunt

home. Wasn't that right?"
Exactly, exactly. But it's a bad
time to come to Belmont"
4 don't care, I'm so glad to be

Lawn"
You can't well wait there for me
to come in for you. Take a carriage
and tell the driver you want to go to
the end of the Townsend Park car
line. Wait for me in the drug store.
Ill get there almost as soon as you
do"
Hurry, father, because I'm so anx-
ious to see you. It's been an age

dying to meet everybody, and then
I'll ask some of the girls out to visit

The carriage drive through Belmont
and Townsend Park, a suburb, was of
educational value. 1t gave her an in
creasing respect for Belmont. Al
though there was no remarkable resi-
Jcnce district, there were uccas oral
homes which denoted refinement as
well as comfortable circumstances.
This was not in keeping with what
David Kerr's daughter had been
taught about her fathers town The
pumber of automobiles also surprised
her. By the time she reached the
place appointed for her meeting with
her father there was not so much of
condescension lii her attitude toward
Belmont
