to pride In slow moving team. nor is
1t credit to the ability of the teams
owner to train his horses.
Some horses are naturally slower
gated than others. and many acquire
a tagging gait because the driver
permits 1t. Some teams with one
driver will step off smart and fast, but
with another will quickly learn that
to just move is all that is required,
the driver probably having his mind
anywhere but on his work. We can
hardly blame the slow moving laggard
of horse for his fault.
A too common mistake Is htching
an ambitious colt with lazy old horse.
When this Is done 1t is generally be-
cause the slow one is 80 gentle" so
nice to work colt beside, but the
result Is almost ruinous to the colt
so far as a fast. efficient worker is
concerned. The difference in the
amount Of work fast stepping team
and slow team will do is astounding
and will hardly be believed until seen
demonstrated. as in adjoining wheat
fields of the same size, where the well
trained team will reap the wheat much
faster than and seemingly as easy as
the slow team. At least ut the end OF
a days work they seem no more tired
than the Iaggards. Give the colt
chance to be an efficient horse.

Treatment For Horse Eczema.

Horses are sometimes afflicted with
an eczema due to overlooking. lack of
work or exercise, possibly lack of
grooming and perhaps to insanitary
stat bling. says the Farm Journal. 1t Is
not form Of parasitic mango and
could not be successfully treated with
Iime-suiphur wash or dip. Have the
horse clipped; then wash affected parts
OF body with one One-hundredth So
luton Of coal tar dip. such as zepole-
um. chlorOnaphtholeum. creolin. etc.
When dry rub affected parts with a
mixture Of four ounces of sulphur and
half an ounce of coal tar dip shaken
up In pint OF sweet OIL Repeat the
latter application every third day. but
do not again wash the parts. Work
or abundantly exercise the horse ev.
cry day. Cut the grain ration down to
not over one pound per 100 pounds Of
horse and feed like amount Of hay
as days ration. Do not feed corn
Make sure that chicken lice are not
getting on the horse. for they often
cause symptoms similar to those Of
eczema.

A New York business man who was
forced to New Jersey suburb on ac-
count of broken health is making u
good living by repacking vegetables
and fruit which he buys from farmers
and truckers. repackinC them and sell
ing direct to the consumer. He has a
large list of regular customers among
the residents of the numerous small
towns of his vicinity. who buy all their
fruit and vegetables from him because
they can depend upon getting them
fresh. clean and sound.
A recent visit to the great produce
market of South Water street. Chicago
disclosed the fact that hundreds of
shippers send their apple crop-much
of it fine fruit of good color and free
from rot-to the commission men
dumped into barrels regardless of size
or condition. mixed with dirt leaves
and twigs. all tending to lower the val
tie of the fruit, q condition which the
commission men are quick to take ad
vantage of. The merchants greatly in
crease their own profits by repacking
the apples.
Any farmer or gardener who is To-
Gated within reasonable distance of
good market will make more money
by selling to retail dealers or consum-
ers than by shipping his stuff to the
commission men In the large cities. BY
careful attention he can in a short
time establish a reputation for his prod
uce which will bring more customers
than he can serve.

The planting Of good seed is the foun.
dation of success in farming, and many
there be who fail to build upon that

discouraging.
The compost heap is the farmers

Diversified farming carries an idea
of intensified farming-that is. getting

to Walk Rap idly.

Some people give horses little credit
for intelligence. and. while. of course.
they cannot reason or pass the time
of day with one another. they do learn
many things. usually from habit. says
the National Stockman. Horses vary
greatly IN this respect, as all who have
handled many horses well know. The
variation of horses in this respect is
probably no more. however. than the
difference in the ability various men
POSSESS to handle horses.
One of the most important things a
horse may he taught is to walk fast

similar work has his teams trained to
walk fast. and he has them all work

farmers put their teams in at such

VALUE OF BREED
IN BEEF MAKING

Every person who has had a success
ful experience in cattle business knows
that blood tells" in beef making. says
Farm rress. Centuries ago intelligent
h"rd>men recognized milk and beef as
the two useful products that cattle
might supply man. They began the
selection of the most suitable types of
animals to best supply these products
and laid the foundation for the mod
eru breeds of beef cattle that we have
today.
The breeds especially adapted for the
production of beef are the Hereford.
Angus. Shorthorn. Polled Durham and
Galloway. Each of these has its
distinct breed characteristics, but the
one excuse for its being is the fact
that it will produce beef to the best
advantage under certain environments.
Many experiments have been conduct
ed in this country to determine. If pos
sibe. what advantages are possessed
by the beef type steer as compared
with dairy bred or native steers.
The results of eight feeding expert
ments at five different stations failed
to bear up the claim that you can pro
duce more gain for a given amount
of feed fed to beef bred cattle than on
natives. AS to the claim that pure
bred animals eat less than natives or
