Good Arrangement For Driving Peur or Five Horses Abreast. Writing of multiple hitches la the Breeder" s Gazette, Chicago, A Mlsson Man says: My method of hitching four horses works equally well with three, four and five horses. I hnve quite of ten driven five horses al gjnst, but not more. However, I believe that six and seven or even eight can be worked In this way as well as four. Take the Hues of the two outside norses and hlteh the same or you would hitch two horses-that Is, snap the spread line in the bit next to the MltflMA Kama mi.

The floor should be from four to six inches from the ground, built solidly of good Umbers, and around the edge should be nailed tightly a 2 by 4 scan tllng to prevent the corn from being craped off Into the mud. Freeilng Doee Not Hurt Silas. The freezing of sllaee docs not nec essarily mean a loss, as It may be thawed out and made fit for feeding and when properly nttended to need not rot or mold. The frozen sllase may be often thawed by mixing with the warm silage at the cenipr of th silo. It is generally considered dan gerous to feed frozen silage. Iowa Duiieun. THE HOUSEMAN. A MDIrrpWj HITCH. about eighteen Inches long, make them ao you can adjust them to any length with a buckle and have a snap In each end. Snap one end In the right side of the outside near horse and In the left side of the horse next to It. Snap the Inside two horses together In a like manner and also the two off horses. Tow horses when hitched will appear aa In the Illustration. This arrangement works-finely on a plow, drill drag or anything where four horses are hitched abreast except on a binder. I then take down the line of the horse next to the one on the near side and drive as I would two horses on a wagon, except that I have them hitched together with the strap. The line on the off horse I bang to some lever on the binder, as I use It only when turning to the right or hold ing back In case he Is too free. If I have one horse that Is too free I hitch him In the middle and a slower horse on each side, then take a hitch strap, slip two snaps on It and tie It to the ha me ring of one of the horses next to him, then snap one snap In each side of his bit, and the other end of the bitch strap I snap to the third horse's hame ring. This will give him all the freedom to .move sideways that he needs, but he cannot go faster than the other horses, for the hitch strap will hold him back. A Sensible Feeding Ffoeri A feeding floor will save its cost in one season. It Is impossible to estl mate the number of tons of corn that A soft cloth Is better to rub the dirt from a horse's legs than a comb. Soino horses are very sensitive about the use of a comb on their legs. A cloth tbey will never object to. Contraction of Back Tendons. In the early stages of severe cases of contraction of bade tendon;;, or "kneestring," give a complete rest, shorten the toe and apply a high heel ed shoe and hot fomentations continu ously or cold astringent lotions. When heat and tenderness subside the hlpli heeled shoe may be dispensed with, the foot shod level and active blisters applied. Iodide of mercury is tho best. Buy a Well Broken Animal. Before buying a horse see that he Is well broken. A horse may be perfect in form and build, sound in wind and limb, and yet be rendered worse than valueless by vicious habits or bad training. When Colts Gnaw Reins. To prevent colts from gnawing reins wash the reins In alcohol In which aloes and nsafetlda have been dis solved. Generally one trial will effect a cure. The same result has been pro duced when a few seeds of red pepper have been thrust Into small Incisions In leather, left purposely within the colt's reach. Teaohlng tne Colt to Eat. An old horseman says that the best way to teach a colt to eat Is to begin while, the mare Is nursing It He feeds the mare once a day on hay cut In Inch lengths, mixed with bran, mid dlings or other ground feed and mois tened with water. Just enough to make It adhere to the bay and not be sloppy. He arranges the feed box so the colt can learn to eat with the mare. In this way by weaning time the little animal will be able to keep bis colt flesh, and weaning win not hurt him. A little of this feed will digest easily, is econom ical, will distend bis stomach, and If followed until be Is four or five years old. when his digestive organs una i: periwct wonting order, n win be prac tically Immune from colic or stomach trouble. SIMPLE FAITH. A Burly Curglsr's Confidence In an Editor's Business Aeumen. A man who admitted tbat.be came direct from state prison tried to sell to the city editor of a New York news paper a weird and startling story of a missing will which he declared bad been revealed to him by a fellow con vlet. He was a burly fellow with a prognathous Jaw, and he bad lost an eye In battle. The mere look of blm would frighten a timid citizen Into tremors. Mr. White, the expert In criminology, cross examined the man as follows: "Why were you In Auburn T" "Highway" (meaning, of course, high way robot ry). "I suppose you were wrongfully con victed." 33 "Nub; dey bad me right" Such engaging candor made Mr. White feel that the man was truthful, and he was greatly disappointed when strict Investigation disclosed the fact that the story of the missing will was all fictitious. The man was disap pointed, too, at the failure of his ro mance, but he went away from the newspaper office In cheerful mood, with some remark about better luck next time. A week later Mr. White was sum moned to the reception room of the newspaper, and there be fonnd bis friend, the burly highwayman, his shoulders broader, his single eye fiercei than ever. But his visit was quite friendly, although somewhat tinged with business. He evidently believed be could rely on Mr. White's good faith and business acumen. Fixing Mr. White with his glittering eye, the strong armed one plucked him by the sleeve over to a corner of the room and there In a loud, hoarse whisper In quired: "Say, couldjer do anyflng wit' a cou ple o watches r Harper's Weekly.

Just to square himself with his conscience, "and no beginning." Chicago Post Hints For the Horseman. It's usually tho Idle horse that gets sick. A harness that fits well seldom galls the borse. The wide stall Is always the most comfortable for the horse and con venient for tbe caretaker. The pedigree Is a certificate of char acter, a record of ancestry that will help to put the horse in the right class. POWER OF WATER. Under Certain Conditions It Is Prmo tleally Irresistible. When a man goes In swimming at the seashore and ships the water forci bly with bis hand or takes a back dive from u pier and lands stress! ly ou his back he realizes that the unstable liquid offers not a little resistance. Yet, says a writer In tfco New York Tribune, It would surprise almost any body to see what water will do under certain conditions. A stream from a flruinuu's hoso will knock a man down. Tbe Jet from a nozzle used In placer mining In tbe west eats away a large piece of land In a day, toys with great bowlder as If tbey were pebbles and would shoot a man over the country as though he were i projectllo from a cannon. There la a story of an eautcrn black smith who went west and made a bet that be could knock a bole through the Jet of one of these nozzles with a sledge hammer. He lifted his arms, swung tbe sledge and came down on tbe ten Inch stream with a force that would have dented an anvil. Uut tbe Jet never penetrated, whisked the massive hammer out of the . black smith's bands and tossed It several hundred feet away Into tbe debris of gold bearing gravel beneath a crum bling cliff. After this the blacksmith left out Iron when be spoke of hard substances. There Is also a power plant near Durango, Colo, where a United States cavalryman one day thought be bad an easy Job In cutting a two Inch stream with his sword. He made a valiant attack. The result was that his sword was shivered In two and his wrist broken. A little thinner Jet of water descend ing 1,000 feet to a manufactory at Grenoble, Spain, and traveling at tho moderate speed of 100 yards a second fractures the best blades of Toledo. Of course some people will not be lieve such stories without having seen tbe thing, and one may think It a proof of the scientific Imagination to say thrf an Inch thick shoet of water, pro vided It had sufficient velocity, would ward off bombshells as well a steel plate. Nevertheless many persons while traveling have seen a brakoman put a small hydraulic Jack under ono end of a Pullman car and lift twenty tons or so by a few leisurely strokes of tbe pump handle, and tbe experience of riding every day in a hydraulic ele vator tends to remove doubts of tbe magic power possessed by water hitch ed to a machine HORSES FOR THE SALES RING Judge Yon say you went Into the room at night quit unintentionally? Why, then, had yon taken off your hoesT Burglar 'Cause, Jedge. 1 beard dere was somebody lyln' 111 In de houses-Home Magazine. The amount of money that an animal of tbe horse kind will bring at private or pubUe sale depends largely upon whether the animal hi In high flesh, well groomed and has a sleek, glossy coat or la thin In flesh and rough coat ed. Tho selling value of an animal can often be Increased from one to two hundred dollars by the addition of one or two hundred pounds of flesh, and the cost of adding that amount of flesh will probably not be much more than one-fourth of the Increased cosh value. No owner can make a greater mis take than to send his stock to tbe sales ring when thin in flesh, says the Horse Breeder. Three quarts of oats a day added to the regular ration, together With a half pint of West India or New Orleans molasses, and an addition of one gill of linseed meal to tbe night ra tion of grain continued for two months, with careful grooming every day, to keep the pores open and the coat free from dirt and a light woolen blanket In stable to keep the ha'r close to the body, will make such a marked Im provement In tbe condition of most Colts not broken to harness should be broken to lead to bridle either by tbe aide or In front of a pony or grooms running by their side. The price of well bred colts offered at pub lic sale will largely depend upon what they show In the sales ring. The best gaited colt in the world that has not been educated and drilled to lead to .bridle will make a poor showing In the ring. The statement that the youngster Is perfectly green and has never been tnught to lead will not help the matter In the least. The purchaser will pay for Just whnt be sees and no more. A bint to the wise Is sufficient The better your animals show tbe more money they will bring. It Is Just as Important for farmers and small coun try breeders who have horses to sell to put them In the best posslblo condition as for those who send their animals to tho sales ring. City dealers who retail to customers are always ready to bu.y animals that are fat and sleek. bjust wo tbx aura. horses which are thin In flesh that they will hardly be recognised by those who formerly knew them. The quantity of tbe above necessary for one month will be about three bushels of oats, one and three-fourths gallons of molasses and three and one half quarts of Unseed meal. Tbe lat ter will not only tend to fatten tbe ani mal, but will make tbe coat soft and glossy. Any one can figure the addi tional cost per month of the above Horses that have been broken to har ness should be driven on the road some every day, and It wilt Improve their costs to drivo them sharply tbe last mile so as to start the perspiration and bring them to tbe stable warm, then straighten their hair with a rub rag, throw light blanket over them and put them In their stalls, using care not to let them stand In a draft of air when tbe harness 1 being re moved and they are being rubbed Record 8heets Necessary. No up to date dairy barn, whether It contains one or 100 cows, should be without Its dally record sheet and ac curate spring balance .scales, If It be tnoroly to intelligently estimate a year's earnings, writes Mrs. V. Howie, one of Wisconsin's best dairy women. The day has gone by when a "good mess' will prove a satisfactory and conclusive answer to a buyer who wishes to Invest his money with a clear understanding as to the probable outcome. "How many pounds and what per cent of butter fatr Is a fair question that any reliable dairyman should bold himself In readiness to promptly answer, and tbe scales, with carefully kept records, will undoubted ly now and then relieve his conscience from a severe strain. These, together with tbe Babeock test, will do even more, for by placing Implicit reliance on them be will acquire a confidence that will enable him to buy as well as sell to tbe best advantage.
