Buying In Distant Cities.

People sometimes tell the home mer-
chant that he does not sell as cheaply as
metropolitan stores or mail order houses
in more or less distant cities.
Any person wishing to compare the
two scales Of prices should inquire
whether The distant store was selling
the same goods. Second grade products
can be made to look very handsome in a
catalogue cut. But the home merchant
cannot float that kind of goods. They
come back to his store too easily.
1t is amusing to see the bother people
will take for trifi ng sums they think
they are saving They will travel many
miles, spend street car fares, pay for
luncheons, hotel bills, and tips. They
get tired and foOt-sore, tramping around
OvergrOWn stores separated by long dis
tances. They wait for change, carry
bundles, and pay express. They pay a
high price in money and energy for
supposed economies.
When you buy goods away from home
you rarely take them back. The bother
and expense looks prohibitiye. When
you buy at home you would return them

PROPER ATTENTION TO EWES,
Severe Losses Reauit From Attempt.
+ ing to Handle Early Lambs
Without Accommodations.

The flock owner who breeds his
ewes to lamb during the late winter
and early spring months should pro-
vide favorable conditions at the right
time. Severe losses result from at
tempting to handle early lambs with
out having adequate accommodations
to provide comfort for the flock,
writes L. J. Merideth in Homestead.
The first essential to success in han
ding early lambs is a comfortable and
well arranged sheep barn. It should
be well lighted dry and properly ven-
tilated, and there must be plenty of
pens and facilities for caring for each
eve as soon as she shows evidence
of lambing.
We have found it desirable to keep
on hand an adequate supply Of light
partitions and managers for construct
ing pens for the ewes as fast as need
ed In this way the flock can have the
run of the whole sheep barn or it can
be quickly subdivided as the occasion
may demand. 1t will be found very
convenient to have a light manger
that can be made fast to the corner of
each pen, SO that rougnage may be
fed regularly without being trampled
under foot and made unpalatable.
Ewes should have plenty of good.
nutritious food during the winter, not
only to maintain good flesh condi-
ton, but to nourish the unborn lambs.
Roughage alone is not enough. A
light ration of grain should be fed
regularly. A proper mixture of oats,
barley, corn and peas will give good
results. For roughage, clover or alfal-
IA hay and ensilage will furnish about
the right proportions of bulk and sue
culence.

if dissatisfied. This takes the time of
clerks, frequently the goods have been
injured while in your hands.
Where it is so easy to return goods,
the customer must be given both the
worth of his money, and something suited
to his needs. A higher grade of sales
people is thus required in the home
store. TO make sale that will stick so
near home, the customer must be given
intelligent advice.
Thus the pupiic demands from the
home store more competent service than
it exacts from the distant merchant.
This means additional expense, which is
counterbalanced by lower rents and like
economies. When you consider how
generously the home store responds to
all kinds of demands, reasonable and I'M
reasonable, the range of its prices is re-
markedly low.

COLD FRAMES MORE POPULAR
Great Many Gardeners Have Realized
1t Is Profitable to Grow Some
Vegetables Under Sash.

Frames are used much more largely
in all parts Of the country than few
years ago, notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that it pays to grow
some vegetables under 3x6-foot sash.
This makes it good business propo-
sition and when frames are used on a
large scale too much care cannot be
exercised in the preparation of the
soil. It should be fine, fairly level and
contain liberal amounts of sand and
humus. If to be used in the summer,
the cross-bars should be easily re-
moved so that wheelhoes or horse cul-
tivators can be used without difficulty,
running from end to end of the long
frames. The sash should fit snugly on
the side boards SO that as little cold
as possible will be admitted under the
sash. Lettuce and radishes are espe-
cially desirable for frame culture.

Good Mares Used Ordinarily in
The Farm work Should be
Bredto good Stations. Mares
Kept for Breeding Purposes
Only Not Generally Profit
able. Countries at War Pos
sess Forty Million Horses

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. S.-Dur-
ing the next decade there will prob
ably be an increased demand for Am
erican horses in the countries now en-
gagged in the European war. The de-
mand may even continue much longer,
according to investigators of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, as not only
will horses be needed for armies, but
when peace is restored, more will be
needed for agriculture. Already Euro
pean agents are said to be endeavoring
to purchase horses in this country ana
Canada, and there is an increased in
terest in many sections in horse breed
ing.
To meet this increased European de-
mand American farmers may well
endeavor to raise well-bred horses, al
though the Department of Agriculture
does not advise them to purchase a
surplus of horses merely for breeding
purposes. 1t merely advises that or
binary farm work should be done
whenever possible by good mares
which should be bred to good stations
1t also desires to emphasize the fact
that only high quality may be profit
ably raised today. Inferior horses arc
a drug on the market, and their pro-
duction is to be discouraged as much
as the production of good horses should
be encouraged.
The United States has previously
been drawn upon to supply European
countries at war. In the Boer War
over 100000 horses were bought here
by the British government. 1t may be
doubted whether foreign govern
ment could now obtain similar sup
ply in this country, except at excessive
cost. However, if farmers take pains
10 utilize their good mares during this
winter to breed them to good stations,
n the course of several years time
,nough for the foals develop, America
will be better able to meet the Europ-
an demand.
1t is natural that European coun-
ries should look to the United States
or horses, as next to Russia it has
nore of these animals than any other

country in the world The United
States and Russia possess 50 per cent.
Of the world supply. Strange to say,
however, there were no horses origin
ally on our continent and the present
supply comes from stock brought over
from Europe. Canada's supply is small
compared to our own.
War as a Consumer of Horses.
The German army requires for 4
complete mobilization 10000 horses
and the French army is said to require
100000, which figure, however, prob
ably includes only those for the cav
airy. 1t is conservatively estimated on
good authority that 100000 horses
are now engaged in the European war.
AS the great majority of these horses
are not included in the permanent mil
itary organization but are used for
farm work and are requisitioned by
governments only when needed for
military purposes, the countries of con-
tinental Europe will certainly face an
acute shortage of farm horses befor G
the next planting season which will
seriously affect the price of horses the
world over, as soon as peace is dsclar-
ed.
According to the best information
horses in the countries of Europe now
at war number as follows:

may be obtained for the asking. Even
in the South, where mules are bred in
preference to horses, an increased pro-
duction of frst-class animals should
find a ready market abroad, although
the mule is not used on the Continent
to the extent that it is used here.

In addition England has supply of

various dependencies. Russia has
about ten million in Asia and France
probably 100000 to one million in her
colonies.
The rapacious consumption Of horses
in war is illustrated by figures from
our own Civil conflict. During his
Shenandoah Valley campaign, Sheri-
dan was supplied with fresh horses az
the rate of $50 per day. In his report
for the year 1865, the Quartermaster
General of the United States Army.
stated: The service of a cavalry horse
under an enterprising commander has
averaged only four months" During
1864 there were 500 horses consumed
per day in the Northern Army, without
considering those captured and not
reported. During eight months of that
year, the cavalry of the Army of the
Potomac was remounted twice, nearly
10000 horses in all being required.
Our Own Army a Desirable Market.
Our own Army furnishes a desirable
market for well-bred horses, there
being under the remount system, at
least 5000 horses required annually TO
supply both the Army and the National
Guard. There are now about 10000
horse in our regular Army on a peace
basis. In war, many more would be
required before the first engagement.
There is, therefore, steady market
for good horses independent of the Eu-
ropan demand. Even the invasion of
motor power which has reduced the
number of horses on our streets, has
not influenced this demand. In fact,
the price of horses has advanced along
with other commodities during recent
years.
The Bureau of Animal Industry of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. c., stands
ready to aid any farmer desiring to
breed high-class horses. AS the day
of the large horse ranch is practically
gone, any increased demand will have
to be met by the farmer. There are
certain localities more suited to horse
breeding than others and places where
certain breeds do better. Such details
