does not advise them to purchase a
surplus Of horses merely for breeding
purposes. 1t merely advises that ordi-
nary farm work should be done when
ever possible by good mares, which
should be bred to good stations. 1t
also desires to emphasize the fact that
only horses OF high quality may be
prof1tably raised today. Inferior horses
are drug on the market, and their
production is to be discouraged as
much as the production Of good horses
should be encouraged.
The United States has previously
been drawn on 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 a foreign govern
ment could now obtain a similar sup
ply in this country, except at exces-
sive cost. However, If farmers take
pains to utilize their good mares dur
ing this winter to breed them to good
stations in the course of several years
(time enough for the foals to develop
America will be better able to meet

WAR DEMAND : FOR HORSES

American Farmers Have an oppor-
tunity to Supply the Demand.
During the next decade there will
probably be an increased demand for
American horses In the countries now
engaged In the European war. The
demand may even continue much
longer, according to investigators Of
the United States department OF agri-
culture, as not only will horses be
needed for armies, but when peace is
restored more will be needed for agri-
culture. Already European agents are
said to be endeavoring to purchase
horses in this country and Canada. and
there is an increased interest In many
sections in horse breeding.
To meet this increased European de-
mand American farmers may we'll en-
deavor to raise well bred horses, al

MARKET GARDENING.

Button radishes are easily grown in

is essential. Seed should be sown In
rows four inches apart. Cover seed
with one-tourth inch Of soil and thin
the plants to stand about two inches
apart. II variety Of light foliage Is
selected tho plants may stand an inch
and a half apart. Keep the ground
moist and admit some fresh air every
day.
Strong plants of lettuce set in the
cold frame now may attain market
able size before Thanksgiving. The
soil should be Well enriched With rot.
ten manure. A light application Of
bonemeal, tankage and little nitrate
of soda. in addition to manure, will
likely give a heavier crop. It is best
to avoid frequent watering on account
Of encouraging leaf rot. Whenever
watering is necessary make a thor
ough application and do not repeat u,,-
til absolutely necessary.
Pansies transplanted into the cold
frame as late as Nov. will make good
spring plants, although they will be
later in blooming than earlier set
plants. Late fall planting, however,
involves less work in caring for the
frames before the arrival of real win
ter weather when the frames need no
attention.
More Egyptian Or winter onions
should be grown in home as we'll as

WOMAN'S WORK ON FARMS.

Bureau Established to Take Up Fsmi-
nine End of Farm Toll.
A department Of domestic science has
been established In connection with
the Erie county farm bureau of the
Buffalo Chamber Of Commerce, says
the American City. The plans Of the
bureau provide for doing for women
and girls on the farm, within their
possible range Of activities, work SIM
liar to that which is being done through
the medium of farm bureaus for men
and boys upon the farm within the
range Of their we'll defined lines of op-
Grafton. There Is this difference, how
ever, between the operations of the de-
partment of domestic science and the
farm bureau proper: the latter has been
tried out in many of its essential posi-
bilities, with the result that waste ef-
fort has been eliminated, and the work
now being undertaken by properly
equipped farm bureau is carried on in
accordance with well established rules,
well defined policies and on scientific
basis. The domestic science depart
ment, on the contrary, goes into vir-
gin field without knowledge gained
through previous experience and must
work out it's own salvation to the last
detail
The fact has been recognized for
many years that one of the principal
handicaps to successful farming has
been the failure heretofore to give
proper consideration to the women's
end of farm work. There is probab bly,
no business undertaking in which men
and women cooperate more closely
than they do in farming, yet despite
the fact that the national government
and the governments OF practically ev-
cry commonwealth in the nation have
spent large sums of money in further
ing the progress Of agriculture through
the medium of the tanner and his son.
, thus far comparatively little has been
devoted to similar work with regard to
the farmers wife and her daughter.
