FOR BETTER BOATINSPECTION
Redfieid Tells President Service viii
Be Made More Efficient.

Washington. Aug. 1S.-Plans for
making the present federal steam
boat inspection service more efficient
are outlined in report of Secretary
Redfield to President Wilson.
They grow out of the investigation
by the department of commerce Of
the Eastland disaster.
Some of the recommendations, he
says. have already been put into ef-
feet. Others include the calling of a
special committee of supervising in
spectors from the Atlantic, Pacific
and Gulf coasts to confer with super
vising inspectors on the lakes to see
what can be done within the law to
make service more efficient.

evidently is making some headway, al

four big, strong horses running around and playing like so many colts, and even rolling in the snow, for we do have snow occasionally in "Ole Vir- ginny." Now, the writer does not re- member ever seeing one of these horses with cold or even a cough, all during the time they were on this Virginia farm.
 Of course 1 am we'll aware that the climate in the North and West is much colder than that of Virginia, but where teams are accustomed to the winters of these other states, they can be turned out with impunity, l should think, and without any fear of in~ turing them.
 In connection with the idea of horses being turned out for exercise in the winter season, the writer calls to mind a paragraph that he recently read which stated that Secretary Will son had been wintering a herd of horses out of doors, and for the last 20 years on his Iowa farm. These horses have access to a shed where they could find protection from the cold blasts, but it said that they sought, protection in a wooded ravine and would not go into the shed, even in the worst weather. This herd of horses enjoy the best of health, and, being put in the pasture when between one and two years old, are kept there until they are taken out to be broken and sold.
 Here is practical illustration of the cold weather that horses will stand and thrive in, if they are turned loose so that they can get the amount of exercise that they always stand in need of
 Too many stallions are pampered, and at the same time injured by keep ing them shut up in close stalls, when they should have the run of a pad dock every good day during the win ter
 Just rememember that it is almost impossible to hurt a horse of any class, or of any breed, by turning him out and letting him keep warm by moving around in the paddock, field or lot
 The same simple rule will apply equally we'll to brood-mares and colts.

(By J M. BELL)
 We are now in the midst of winter weather, and the daily care of the farm teams should be matter of i'm portance to their owners. This car ing for them does not altogether con- sist in feeding and watering regularly, although these are the main essen tials, and without good feed and an abundance of pure drinking water, the work stock cannot remain in a thrifty condition.
 The question of exercise is a most important one, and one that should never be neglected. 1 think it is a good plan to turn out all of the work horses every day that are not in act ual use, especially on days when there is no falling weather"
 One of the greatest mistakes that a farmer can make is to leave his teams standing in the barn, day after day, and on full feed, as they are liable to suffer from attacks of indigestion, and any of the older stock is very liable to stock up from want of eXer- else. Then, again, all of them will be more subject to colds than where they are turned out to run around and play in the farmyaFd.
 Last winter the writer had man renting land from him; this man handled farm teams in many of the northern and western states. espe- cially in Montana, Idaho and Washing ton, also in Minnesota, In all of these states he had used teams on the road and on the farm. Moving to Virginia in the month of December, he bought four head of horses in the city of Richmond, and bringing them down to the farm, put them in a rather open barn, and kept stable blankets on them at night, and, in fact, all the time that they stood in the barn. But he did not keep them in the barn in the day time unless 1t was raining. or snow- ing. for on all fairly bright days, never mind how cold, the horses were turned out, the blankets having first been taken off. One of these horses had just been clipped. and he, too, was turned out with the other three that had their regular coats of winter hair on them

S0WS FROM FALL
 LETTERS ARE BEST
Animals From Prolific Families Are Certain to Make the
 Best Mothers.
(By ". M. KELLY.)

In selecting breeding sows I prefer to select the pigs from fall filters as they arrive at the age that 1 prefer to have my sows when they drop their first litter and when allowed to ob- tain a large part of their growth and development on pasture and forage crops the following summer they ar rive at the very best period of de- velopment to breed for filters early the next spring.
 I aim to select large, roomy sows with good length and depth of body, neat and short heads, wide between the eyes, medium bone and large heart girth with we'll sprung ribs and a well developed set of vital organs consequently, vigorous and hardy constitution. Sows that come from prolific families are more certain to inherit those qualities and become good mothers than those that descend from families that are less prolific. When we get good SOW that brings us large filters of good pigs we keep her as long as she will breed.

over the purser's unaccountable action in deliberately introducing him to this brown-eyed, golden-skinned young woman. Never before had such thing occurred upon these boats. True, he had occasionally been spoken to; an idle question flung at him, like a bare bone to a dog. If flung by an Englishman, he answered it courte- ously, and subsided. He had been snubbed too many times not to have learned this lesson. It never entered his head that the introduction might have been brought about by the girls interest. He was too mortally shy oS women to conceive of such a possibil- ity. So his gratitude was extended to the purser, who, on his side, regretted his good-natured recommendation of the previous hour.
 When Elsa learned that the man at her side was to proceed to Rangoon, she ceased to ask him any more ques- tions She preferred to read her books slowly. Once. while he was en- gazing the purser, her glance ran over his clothes She instanly berated her impulsive criticism as a bit of downright caddishness. The lapels of the coat were shiny; the winged col lar gave evidence of having gone to the native laundry once too often, and the cuff buttons were of ordinary rupee silver.

PLAN TO INTEREST
 FARMER IN DAIRY
While Indifference Is Manifested, No Improvement in Mate-
 rial Is Expected.

The person who could succeed in getting up some scheme of interesting the average farmer in the dairy busi ness would be entitled to have his name enrolled among the benefactors of the human race.
 While this may seem to be an ex- travagant statement it is not as much so as it might seem before it is ex- amined into more closely.
 The average farmer today is a dairyman just because he happens to be. He did not go into it premeditat- edly, he just drifted into it. He found himself with few cows and little more milk and cream on hand than his family could consume and he sold it. and he probably gave no thought to whether it was good product or not. He sold 1t simply because he found out he could, and he probably never took the trouble to look up the price, or the test
 AS long as the average farmers are as indifferent as this, we can look for but little difference in the character of the raw material that is coming to the creameries.
 Just what is going to be necessary to interest the average farmer in dairying is pretty hard to tell. One thing IS certain, he cannot be driven into it. It also seems that he cannot be persuaded into it.
