It does not follow that the horse the southern farmer needs is the one he thinks he needs. Moreover, since opinions differ as to the type of horse needed and the various kinds of work required of farm horses de- mand various types of horses. it is quite certain no one type of horse will do best all the different kinds of work required on southern farms.
 The horse most needed will, there fore, of necessity be in the nature Of a compromise. We must first deter mine the most important work re- quired of the farm horse before we can determine the type of horse most needed, for it is only reasonable that in his selection his most important service should be given greatest weight
 For those who expect to continue the use of one-horse implements to any large extent, the horse or mule weighing around 1000 pounds is most needed. He must have quality, speed and endurance, for with small one
 
 horse implements the only chance to obtain economical service is through greater activity.
 The class of farmers who are adopt ing modern methods and using two and three-horse implements. because they do more economical and better work and save man labor, is grow ing rapidly, but is still comparative ly small. Many of those who use larger implements for blowing and preparing the land still adhere to one- horse implements for cultivating the crops.
 But the demand for larger farm work stock is growing and will con- tinue to grow rapidly. The average mal who has begun the use sdf mod ern implements and methods now de- mands horse or mule weighing 100 to 200 pounds more than was most popular ten years ago, and ten years from now horse or mule weighing 200 pounds more than the popular type of today will be demanded.
 To do good, efficient and economical service the horse needed on south ern farms must weigh 1900 to 1,400

Just Colts.

pounds. This is larger than is thought best by most farmers, but if future needs, and breeding requirements to meet these future needs, are consid- cred, this weight is still too light, for the horse needed ten years from now will weigh 1900 to 1,500 pounds
 The farm horse does most of his work at walking gait, and he must have the weight to pull sufficiently large loads to more than make up for any deficiency in speed as compared with lighter animals. The greatest need on southern farms is for better work. Texas, for instance, has used more horses as means of doing more work, cultivating more acres, but the real need for heavier farm horses is to enable the farmer to do better work The best work cannot be done with one-horse blows and other one-horse implements. Large blows and disk harrows require farg CT horses.
 But this 1900 or 1,400-pound horse must be of good quality He need not have the speed of the 900 or 1.000- pound horse, but he must be of gentle disposition, good quality, compactly built and rugged.
 A horse weighing 1900 or 1.400 pounds is too large for light driving or saddle purposes. and yet these services are required of farm horses. It is true that these are unimportant services, compared with the work of cultivating the land and hauling the farm products tO market, and this be- ing the case it follows that the horse of most service on the farm is the one that will cultivate the land best and most economically. If the mule is to remain the chief draft animal oi the South. we must breed the type oi mares that will produce the type oi mule needed, and here again, the need is for a mare weighing 1900 to l.50t pounds.
 The horse the southern farmer needs must be bred, for no cquntry ever can buy sufficient farm worh

The correct designing of cotton warehouse is of much importance. be- cause upon the construction of the warehouse depends the rate of insur-
 The average insurance rate, it is said, in the buildings now in use is as high as two dollars year on $1O0. In standard warehouses, properly pro- tected by automatic sprinkler equip ment, this rate could be reduced to 25 cents on $100.
 It is a curious fact that many of the warehouses now in use cost more to build than if they had been made to conform to the standards.

GOOD REASONS FOR DAIRYING
Not Enough Butter, Milk and Cream Produced in Louisiana to Supply
 Demands of Farmers.

By J. M. CADWALLADER. Louisiana
 State Unversity.)
 Many people will no doubt be sur prised to learn that there is not enough butter, milk and cream pro. duced in Louisiana to supply the peo- pie on the farms of the state to say nothing of supplying our small and large cities.
 The northern dairymen are enjoy ing the profits realized by producing butter and selling it to our southern farmers for 40 cents per pound when we can produce butter and milk cheaper than they. If for no other reason, Louisiana farmers should en- gage in dairying to supply their own needs.

Watchinu the Seals,

Visitors at the Aquarium never tire
 of watching the harbor seals, and one thing that pleases them particularly
 is to see the seals fall off their table when they go to sleep. In the middle of the pool for the seals there are two low tables, their tops are just above the water, on which the seals climb out to sleep or to rest. And some times one or another of the seals will climb out of the water to one of those tables and lie there on it, maybe close along the edge of one side and per haps with it's head and forward part of it's body hanging over the edge of the table in front, apparently all the time in imminent danger of rolling off the table at the side or of pitching off head first into the water in front. And when a seal lies on a table like that, sleeping or dozing, people stand around the pool watching and waiting for the seal to fall off. He won't hurt himself when he does fall, he will sim ply- ia A.off into the water; but old and younss ss women ard children. will stand there with keen interes- silent iy watching and waiting for that seal to fall. And if they stay long enough, as they are pretty sure to do, they are rewarded.-New York Times.
