Care of Horses.

It 10 very good practice to clip
horses, partly or in whole, at this
time of the year. We believe that the
European custom of clipping the legs
and belly as high as the traces come,
is rather better than our own usual
method of either clipping all over or
stopping just above the knees and
hooks. Any clipping which frees the
lower part Of the horses body from
long hair is a decided advantage while
the muddy period lasts, and this Is
particularly true during the raw cold
spring weather and late winter.
than to save the horse.
Half clipping allows what mud ad-
heres to the belly and legs to be cas-
lily removed, and the skin then dries
rapidly. Nature Is surprised by the
first warm weather In the spring, the
horse still has his heavy coat of win
ter hair, and he perspires profusely at
his ordinary work. Most OF the sweat
soaks down on the legs and belly,
keeping the whole horse wet from its
vapor II this can be overcome, the
rest Of the horses body can be dried
off with comparative ease. The only
way to overcome 1t at this time of
year is to clip the lower half Of all Of
the body.
Clipping the lower part Of the legs
only simply aids in keeping these
parts free from mud, and this sort of
clipping Ia done more to save work
There are not many who advocate
or practice clipping the entire body

Midsummer PAINTINGS,

A good many of the short season
garden products can still be planted
Onion sets will mature nicely before
frost IL planted now, and onion seed
can be planted and harvested as onion
sets ready for planting next year
Radishes should be planted every two
or three weeks as late as September.
There Is no reason why you can
not have steady supply Of radishes
for your table until the frost.
Good late crops of lettuce and spin
ach may be had by planting now.
Although peas will not grow we'll in
the hot weather, very excellent late
crop may be had by planting the seed
about four inches deep in drills two
feet apart at this time Of the year.
This will insure deep roots and hardy
plants.
The general rule for midsummer
planting is to keep the plants well
shaded during the hot part of the day
This means, of course, protection from
the sun, as 1t is quite necessary for
the plants to get the morning and
evening sun. If you have no natural
shade In your garden, and do not
want to go to the trouble of building
artificial shade for the midday sun,
still good results can be had by plant,
ing your seed quite deeply. Plants
put In at this time of year must be
kept thoroughly watered, and OF
course cultivation is an ever-present
necessity.

The fact Is it isn't so much the vessel

care it gets that counts. II cans are
used, punch holes In the bottom for
water to run off through. would pre-
fer pots, because they look better and
are better for general use, but those
who cannot afford them will find
that they can grow plants. and grow

important thing.

Marques Of sligo In indian MutIny


Lord Altamont, who through the
death of his aged father, the other
day, has become marques of Sligo,
was through the Indian mutiny. His
father, who was In the Indian civil
service, was stationed at Bankipur
when the mutiny broke out.
Lord Sligo's wife and infant son,
seven months old, the new marques.
were sent for safety to place which
was surrounded by rebels for fort
night. The child, however, was safely
taken through the sepoy lines by a
faithful Indian nurse, who dyed his
skin as ruse to pass him off as her
own son. A long time passed before
the boy was restored to his anxious
parents. who meantime had to 60
through further siege at Monghyr.
The new marques recently celebrated

INSECTS In THE
WINDOW GARDEN
Warfare Against Plant Enemies
Must Be Made for Ex-
termination

Look out for the insects in. che IN

quite likely there wjdl b-Awage
prompt ,,o and assr9.ssivss' warfare
Probably the ar5his s,h show up
most prominently. Used to dread
this pest more tthan m others, because
of the rapidhty wifi which he breeds.
Now 1 f,nd it Al easy matter to
keep him 'undeicontrol. l do this by
the use ,of thsextract of tobacco. This
extract is yay strong and little of
it goes a god ways.
A pint OF 1t costs about $3.50, but it
will lssf the owner of good-sized
wind9% garden for years, because a
spoqhful of it will be sufficient for a
tep4uart can of water, and this will
bs enough to spray forty or fifty plants
thoroughly.
1t Is sure death to every aphide 1t
comes in contact with. 1t is much
cheaper, in the long run, than tobacco
for fumigation, and Is much pleasanter
to use, as 1t gives off but little odor,
and this is soon dissipated, while to-
bacco smoke leaves its stale stencil
behind it for days, and clings to every
thing in the house.
Every owner Of window garden
should provide herself with a good
sprayer. The small bulb atomizers,
operated by squeezing, are Of little
practical use.
Better invest your money in such a
sprayer as the small gardener uses, in
which the atomizer and reservoir are
connected in such manner as to
make a compact little implement, very
easy to operate, and capable of throw
ing a small stream or spray of any de-
gree of ilneness as you may elect.
With a sprayer Of this kind it is an
easy matter to give your plants q
treatment once a week, and that
ought to be enough to keep them free
from aphides.
In our overheated, dry-atmosphered
living rooms the red spider is sure to
do more or less damage unless some
thing is done to keep 1t in check. None
of the emulsions, tobacco extracts or
other applications advised for use in
fighting plant enemies are Of any use
here.

can be grown In tin cans. Certainly.
I have seen very fine plants In them.

early in the spring. This is valu'
able and perfectly feasible practice
where the driver knows his business
and protects the horse from sudden
changes and bad weather. but 1t Is
safer to follow the half clipping plan
for most horse owners, until warm
weather has come to stay, and with
its advent most of the reason for clip
ping horses departs.
Pneumonia and kindred diseases are
more prevalent at this time Of year
than at any other, and this prevalence
Is due more to changing seasons and
work than to any other one cause. AS
far as possible, avoid getting your
horses too warm, and protect them
carefully while they are cooling and
drying off. While it Is desirable to
get them dry as soon as possible after
stopping work, they must not run any
risk of chilling while drying.
Where horses have box stalls or can
roll around on an ample supply of dry
bedding they will dry out fairly soon.
If there are large number of them
in the same room, means must be pro-
vided to drain the liquid manure from
the stall floors as fast as possible,
and the stable room must be thor
oughly ventilated, without drafts.
Horses which are clipped all over
do not suffer from the first warm
weather as much as unclipped or part
ly clipped horses. They perspire less,
and hence dry off faster. For this
very reason 1t is necessary to blanket
them carefully during cool weather in
order to keep them from drying too
rapidly and contracting colds.
With the opening of the spring sea-
son many horses which have been do.
ing but light work during the winter
will be required to start in doing a
full days work, and this change will
be made very suddenly. AS a result,
they will develop the various troubles
that afflict green horses, and 1t is we'll
to take all possible precautions
against such troubles. Start them in
as easily as possible. increasing the
work gradually.

Those without hotbed will fill the
kitchen windows with seedboxes;
for many garden plants should be
started early. and the expense of buy
ing plants is much greater than that
of buying seeds. Besides, there Is a
pleasure in working even in small
bit of soil after being shut from it
during the long winter months.
Tomatoes and peppers are among
the earliest seeds started. The soil
should be rich and fine. Back Of the
barn there is often plot of rich soil,
evidence of former farm leakage,
though modern management has hap
PLY all but rendered obsolete such
waste, or leaf mould, enriched with
perfectly decayed stable manure will
serve the purpose well.
Pack the soil firmly in the boxes
and then sprinkle the seeds thinly
upon the surface. Cover with a eprink-
ling of soil and moisten with tepid
water until 1t Is quite damp.
Firm the earth down upon the
seeds. The next day 1t may be still
further pressed down and more earth
covered over-so that the seeds will
be covered to about four times their
own diameter and pressed in place
This will still keep the seeds covered
when the watering Is done later If
all the earth is placed at first there
is tendency, when they are watered
to wash the seeds bare.
Heat on the bottom Of the box is a
great advantage for the first few days,
yet it should be uniform, and not so
great as to scald the germs The
small pan or box may be given suit,
able place around the kitchen range.
In our own experience, the top of the
incubator starts seeds more quickly
than any other place.
The tiny plantlets always turn to-
ward the light. Shift the boxes daily
to counteract this and keep them
growing straight. When they have
formed two or three leaves shift each
to a small pot. The halves of egg
shells make good substitutes for the
smallest sized pots II placed side by

BEST FOOD FOR BROOD SOWs
SKINNED Milk Mixed With Wheat
Bran or Ground Oats Is Excellent
Ration for Shoats.

The best food for brood sows Is
SKINNED milk mixed with wheat bran
or ground oats. Boiled roots mixed
with wheat bran and wheat middlings
is a healthy and economical food
The brood SOW should be kept in good
condition, but not fat. Corn Is not a
suitable food; few ears of corn
may be fed after the slop is eaten, II
the SOW is thin. A small grass pas
ture should adjoin the pens; let them
have the use of this pasture every
suitable day; she needs exercise.
Well-cured clover hay, cut fine and
mixed in the millfeed slop, will reduce
I. grain ration. See that the pens
are clean and dry; give warm
bed of straw or leaves-leaves make
tn, best bed for pigs. The hogs
should not be kept in dirty yards or
allowed to run in the yard with stock.
Never let the hogs burrow in the
fermenting manure, as 1t Is certain
to give them lung disease and skin
disease. II the hogs cannot have a
grass pasture they should have raw
roots and freshly dug grass sods
every day. Give plenty of fresh.
clean water and liberal supply OF
burnt wood, wood ashes and coal
The best food for shoats is equal
quantities Of ground oats and peas
boiled and mixed with wheat bran
Give the slop luke warm in cold
weather. Have feed trough clean.
No rancid slop should be fed. A
well-bred sow that will rear litter
Of pigs and is good mother is worth
$50. Have separate pen for each
SOW. Make fender rail around the
pen to prevent the SOW from crushing
the young pigs. Sows will farrow JIG
weeks after being served.

The Best Paying Vegetable on Small Farm.

sand
When more root room is needed
the shell may be peeled off and re-
moved without disturbing the roots Of
the plant. They should be repotted
at least once more, and then when
finally shifted to the garden, the roots
will have become so matted and in
terwoven that they will be little dis
turbed by the transfer.
Use always good seed. While that
of inferior quality may much of 1t
terminate, you are losing very much
more than you save through its en-
ployment. In this day of cheap seeds,
just think what the land is worth, and
then resolve that the best is none too
good for It,
Strive to have the best tools with
which to work In this age Of cheap
and efficient tools one cannot afford
to waste their time In any makeshift
way. Even in the garden for family
use, one may raise so much more that
the wheel hoe will soon pay for itself.
1t Is pitiful to see the gardener work
ing slowly among the weeds, the lat.
ter stunning the plants in the last
rows weeded. when In an hours time
with the wheel tools the entire plot
could be thoroughly cleaned out Time
must be counted by the modern gar
dener, and all labor and time-saving
devices given a trial
Resolve this year to add some new
variety to your list-not one of the
high-priced novelties, but something
which you have never before grown.
If frosts threaten after the plants
are transplanted to the garden, make
covers out of old newspapers, either
by folding a sheet like FOOLS cap
and holding the. corners in place with
small Stones. or, IN t.e case Of very
small plants, the paper may be spread
out loosely over the surface. Old
boxes may also be used for covering,
but tin, in any form, draws the frost
and renders the attempt to protect a
real injury.
