It is best to have the stall where the
horse is near to other horses. =
IN feeding the stallion for the sea-
son." MIR. Montgomery cautions, 1T
should be remembered that thin AMI
NAL is just as bad off as one that Is
too fat. The horse should be in good
flesh, preferably on the gain, to open
the season. The flesh should be put on
by a ration free from excessive corn
or other heating and fattening feeds
Oats make good grain ration, but
may be advantageously supplemented
by one.fifth-by weight-of wheat or
bran. A little oil meal, up to 8 per
cent, is also desirable. Bright hay
should be fed at the rate OF a pound
a day to each hundred pounds the
horse weighs. II the stallion Is being
worked, he should have pound and
half a day to each hundred pounds.
The clover fed 1t should be limited to
one.half the ordinary hay ration, for
the excess of protein in 1t overworks
the kidneys and is hard to eliminate
from the system"
Mr.. Montgomery believes that less
pampering of the purebred sires
would give more vigorous horses.

TO REBUILD OLD sWEDE MILL
Original Building, Which Was Burned
In 1885, Figured In Revolu-
tionary War.

The frankfort Historical society, In
pursuance of its plan to save to poster
ity all possible information In regard
to early landmarks and points OF his
toric interest in that section OF Penn
sylvana, has succeeded in restoring TO
the community the plan of an OLD
Swede mill which burned in 1888, the
Philadelphia American states.
The original mill was built by the
Swedes before the arrival Of Penn. A
fire destroyed this ancient structure
in 1885, when it was replaced by an
other, in which the plan of the origi-
nal structure was preserved as nearly
as possible. The second mill also was
destroyed by fire, which is still re-
membered ny a few old residents.
1t was at the original mill that
Lydia Darragh overheard British OFF,
GERS discussing plans to deliver an
overwhelming attack upon Washington
and his army at Whltemarsh and car
ried the information to an American
officer in time to enable Washington
attack.
Every available source OF informa-
ton was exhausted before the society
obtained the desired information as
to the plan and appearance of the
old mill. Four drawings were made
ON information supplied by old resi-
dents, and the finding of additional
information resulted in the acceptance
of the plan submitted by Charles w.
Caster, one of the oldest members Of
the society, who frequented the mill
in his youth.
According to his description, 1t was
two and one-half story structure with
an overshot wheel on the northern end,
where the race entered the building
The entrance to the mill also was ut
this end. A large hoist with dormer
roof surmounted the western side.

CLEAN THE PATHS OF WEEDS
Mixture Of Arsenic and Water Applied
In Ordinary Sprinkler Viii
Save Much Labor.

In summer when weeds and grasseA
grow rapidly in the paths In flower
and vegetable beds, and one does not
care to be continually digging up the
paths, or causing the earth to be
loose by pulling the weeds. the paths
may be kept pretty free from weeds
and grass by applying the following so
ultion with an ordinary sprinkler:
Take five ounces Of powdered ar.
senic, and one gallon Of water, and
boil the arsenic and water together,
stirring constantly as the mixture
boils for several minutes. When thor
oughly mixed by this process, add two
gallons OF cold water, and half pound
OF soda.
The paths should be dry when this
Is applied. One-half the quantity can
be used II there Is not much space to
be freed from weeds.
This will save hours Of very irk
some toll in hot weather when vege
tation Is apt to grow very rank and
make paths very unsightly.

UDDER Development OF cow
Sufficient Importance Not Placed on
Dairy Characteristics by Dairy
Cattle Owners.

Many owners Of dairy cattle do not
place sufficient Importance on the
purely dairy characteristics Of the an
imas they keep and breed. One Of
the points often overlooked Is udder
development, although 1t would seem
that this would be the first thing an
intelligent dairyman would look for in
the selection of a COW. While an &C.
casional COW with a small, ill-shaped
udder will give good quantity OF
milk, such animals are merely the ex.
ceptions which prove the rule that
good dairy cows should show good de.
velopment of the milk organs.
The good udder is large but does
not display its size by hanging In

Compass That Indicates Tlme.

BY slight modification in the or.
binary pocket compass it has been
transformed into very practical time
piece for indicating the hour by the
shadow of the sun. In addition to the
usual points" there Is graduated
hour scale with the two twelves at the
north and south. The crystal by which
the magnetic needle is protected has a
line etched across it through the cen.
ter and it Is mounted In bezel which
permits of the glass being rotatably
moved. Knowing the variation of the
compass, an adjustment of the glass is
made to overcome it, the etched line
forming an angle with the north and
south line corresponding with the vari.
alton. The instrument being held hori-
zontally and the etched line being d.
rected against the SUN, the time Is In
dicated by the needle. the point OF
which overhangs the graduated hour
scale.-Scientitic American.

GET MORE VIGOROUS HORSES
Stallion Should Be In Good PhysIca,
Condition Before Beginning OF
Breeding Season.

A stallion that Is not fit to work Is
not fit to sire work horses, is the opin-
ion of J. 8. Montgomery OF the animal
husbandry division of the Minnesota
College OF Agriculture. THE horse
should be In good physical condition
before the beginning of the breeding
season." he says. PLENTY of exercise
should be provided. If it is impossible
to work the horse, large paddock
should be arranged where he may play
in all kinds of weather.
"A clean, roomy, light and well-ven.
tilated boxstall should be used for him.

PROPER CARE OF THE UDDER
Cold Cement Floor, Bruising, Sudden
ChilIs, Etc, Are Some OF Exter
nal Causes Of Trouble.

Many good cows are lost to use
full life on the dairy farm by the neg.
lect Of little necessary care at q
critical time. This is particularly true
of heifers and extra heavy mixers.
Sometimes 1t is true of mediocre cows
that have been fed too stimulating
foods for time prior to freshening,
writes l. B. Henderson In Farm, Stock
and Home. Under normal conditions
the udder Of the COW should not re.
quire special attention, but the far
ther we get from natural conditions
and the more we incline to forced pro.
duction the greater the likelihood OF
trouble.
A cold cement floor, cold ground,
bruising of the udder, sudden chills,
ETC.. are some of the external causes
of udder trouble. The preventive rem.
edies can be easily applied. But should
the udder become congested or in
famed just before or after calving,
immediate steps SHOULD be taken to
effect cure. lamentations with hot
water several times day, gentle
massage with the fingers, and the ap
plication of warm lard will help to
alleviate the trouble. The rubbing
should be toward the milk veins so az
to get the blood away from the udder
II possible. A dram or two of salt
peter once or twice daily is also said
to assist. In very severe cases, of
course, the veterinary should be
called, as it is poor economy to risk
the life of usefulness OF a good pro.
Queer. For mild cases Of udder trouble
the average dairyman should be COM
petent to treat and with little obser.
walton 1t should be possible to develop
little skill in treating such troubles.

TROUBLE WITH FARM HORSES
.fiuenza or Distemper Can Be Pre-.
vented, Says Nebraska College
of Agriculture.

When influenza or distemper breaks
out among the farm horses, the loss
from lessened working efficiency Is
sometimes heavy. The Nebraska col
lege of agriculture says that this dis.
ease can very largely be prevented If
the horses are vaccinated with inf1u.
enza antitoxin as soon as the first
case appears. Two doses should be
given about six days apart. Ask your
veterinarian about it.

PLANTING the BUSH FRUITS
Recommended by New Jersey Station
That Raspberry and Blackberry Be
Six Feet Apart.

The New Jersey station recon-
mends that raspberry and blackberry
plants be set abou' three feet apart
in the row. Six feet is the minimum
distance between rows, and Black
cap raspberries and blackberries will
often do better II the rows are seven
feet apart. Such strong growing va
rieties OF blackberries as the Ewing
Wonder or Black Diamond are easily
cultivated and handled when set at a
minimum of four feet apart in the row.
Dewberries are usually set with the
rows six feet apart. Currants and
gooseberries are set four feet apart
in the row. with six feet between
rows.
Early planting Of bush fruits is very
important. II the buds and shoots
are broken or after starting, the Sec
ond lot does not develop Immediately
and the plants therefore do not get q
good start. The Blackcap raspberry
requires more care in planting than
the red raspberry or blackberry, be-
cause its roots are developed In .
cluster. similar to those OF the straw
berry. All plants bearing rot gall.

GOOD TREE PLANTING HINTS
Farmer Should Be Very Careful to See
That Roots Are Kept Moist at
All Times.

There are q few general hints in
setting a tree which should not be

and they cannot live II their roots are
exposed for any length of time to the
air or sunshine, So let us be very
careful that we keep the roots moist

Moral Advice to the Younq.

1t should be observed that moral de-
pravity is all the more difficult to dis
Germ because its manifestations are
checked and cloaked by public order,
as enforced by law: by the necessity
Of having a good name; and even by
ordinary polite manners. And this is
not all. People commonly suppose
that in the education of the young
their moral interests are furthered by
representing uprightness and virtue as
principles generally followed by the
world. Later on, 1t is often to their
great harm that experience teaches
them something else; for the discov-
cry that their early years were the
first to deceive them Is likely to have
a more mischievous effect on their
morality than If these persons had
given them the first example of ingen-
uous truthfulness by saying frankly:
THE world is sunk In evil, and men
are not what they ought to be; but be
not misled thereby, and see that you
do better" From THE Basis of Mo-
rality," by Arthur Schopenhauer.
