m i i A Xciv K recti of Horses. 'A breed of horses that is beincr de veloped at the Colorado Agricultural vonege, at Ft. Collins, in co-onera- tion with the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, appears to have sonio promising characteristics. The object in view has been to develop a first-class carriage horse that has plenty of "go" combined with great powers of endurance. Lime For a Disinfectant. When lime is used as a disinfect ing whitewash, be euro that it. is "live," as good results cannot be secured with that vhich has been air-slacked. ."Whitewash, made with good lime will kill all vermin that It touches, whilo air-slaked lime whitewash is about a3 effective as that much clear, water. Care should be exercised to keep the whitewash from the legs of the fowls, as it will caf:e the skin to become inflamed tjLd sore. The eyes, combs and wat tles will also suSer. N. W. Agri culturist. Xew Dritish Cattle -Herniation. Consul Edward B. Walker, of Bur 6lem, England, writes that under an order of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, which came into force January 1, 190S. no horse, ass or mule brought to Great Britain, from any other country, except Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, is to. to landed in Great Britain unless accompanied by a certificate of a veterinary surgeon to the effect that he eiamincd the animal imme diately before it wai embarked, or while it was on board the vessel, and that he found the animal did not show symptoms of glanders or farcy. American Cultivator. Goctl Soil, Good Crops. AThe fact that there is an occasional ifleY of corn in almost every section, which ripened up thoroughly, would lead us to believe that, after all, the condition of the soil or method of cultivation may have had something to do with the uneven outcome of the corn crop. Every corn plant must form root, stalk and leaves before it is ready to elaborate the grain. So it is reasonable that if either condi tion of soil or method of culture hin ders or retards growth, the process of ripening must be delayed. Rich sod ground in many instances pro cured sounder corn this past season than old ground, and whilo this is contrary to usual results, it seemed to have worked out that way this sea son. The seed was slow to germinate, and It made slow growth. The corn became stunted early and it was not able to overcome the setback. So it has turned out that many poor fields NAILING EENCJI FOR After the packing of the box is completed, the cover must be care fully nailed in position. The lining papers are folded neatly at the edge of the top of the box to allow for the swell, and will then overlap slightly at the centre. This is the style, with some modifications, in general use on the Pacific Coast, and can be readily made by any one handy with tools, jwith such assistance as may be obtained at any blacksmith shop. From the American Cultivator. did not mature corn at all that is, corn planted at end of May was still immature when freezing weather came. Indiana Farmer. br " jj Labor Makes the Hens Pay. !' Those who endeavor to secure the most eggs by selecting the "best breed" have found that, after all, it is the labor and care which makes the profit. Ask any number c.f poul trymen their opinion as to vhich breed is the best, and it will be found that they do not agree, some prefer ring one breed and some the others. 'A farmer ' may secure what ' he sup poses to be tho best breed only to be disappointed, while the breed which is rejected may prove profit able with his neighbors because of better care. The hens should not pay better in winter than in summer, but no doubt the farmers are better satis fied with the winter result, due to the giving of more attention to the hens because no other farm work Is urgent. .Women and children cannot care properly, for the fowls when tho ground is covered with snow. There Is something more., to do. than to throw down corn for them. They must have, water that is not frozen, the esss must be collected often to avoid freezing, the floorr must bo cleaned, a variety of food must be mixed, and sick fowls must, be cared for, as well as looking after other details. Weekly Witness. Improviit" the Dairy Ken"!. There are a yrcat m-ny dairyman who do not kn.)v.' the possibiiitlss of their own cows; they r.eek to im prove their value r.s miVn vc&ic?rs Dy imping ne-' co.ws instead of im proving the .u-il'is of tho old ones. iSc.v bloc a is to Lj ucsucJ, ir it comes through the purebred dairy sire, but much can be accomplished without .waiting for a new breed to grow up. I have found .the best plan is to study the requirements of the milk animals I have. Give them first-class feed and care r.nd they will readily prove themselves cap abl9 of producing a profit. A man who cannot', improve the yielding ability of a herd of common cows is only likely to make a failure of blood ed stock. There are many gems among so called "common cows," but their good qualities are never brought out and they run their unprofitable course because their owners are careless men. Observe every animal in the. herd with a critical e'ye. Offer her extra feed and see if she will eat it; if she eats it up clean and gives a profit, give her more. Provide all the pure water she will drink. Look to her bedding and comfort in the stable, and see that she does not have 'to stand in n bleak barnyard or exposed to cold stcrms.-r-R. B, i Rushing, in the Indiana Farmer. Ration For Sheep. As to the most desirable kinds of feed to be used for a grain ration, variety is the best. We know this from our own experience, as we soon tire of a sameness of cl.et; it is also true of our farm animals. When a variety io supplied, more food is con sumed and the better the digestion. I have found, says a farmer in writ ing to Farmers' Review, that an equal amount of crushed corn, oats, wheat, bran and oil cake best suits the taste and requirements of the lambs and gives good results as to the growth and gain in flesh, and fat; the latter quality is especially de manded in the early market lamb. I would then increase tho crushed corn to the limit that it would be rel ished, for a fat lamb is far preferable to a lean one of much larger size. But where the lambs are to be car ried through the summer for feed ing the following winter, then good size, growth and stamina are re quired. In that event I would cut out the corn from their, ration for best results. But they should be fed this grain ration, as there is no time in an animal's life when as great returns will be given for food consumed as when suckling its dam. The Carriage Horse. It appears that the Bureau of Ani mal Industry, operated under the direction of the United States De partment of Agriculture, desires the co-operation of the American Asso ciation of Trotting Horse Breeders in its effort to improve the American carriage horse. The managers of the KOXING APPLES. government breeding industry showed more wisdom in this move than in anything else they have, ever done since they began the effort to create an American type of carriage horse. They have gone to the men who are interested as breeders in the horses needed for the establishment of the ideal already conceived. A type of carriage horses might be created from a variety of horses. The show horse, the thoroughbred, the hackney or the good looking nondescripts which might be picked ui in different parts of the country. By long continued selection and care a type might be established in this way In the course of time, but before an ideal was produced there would be no end of disappointments, not to say a big bill of costs. The shortest cut to. the ideal American carriage horse is through the American trotter, and the govern ment breeders are likely to learn this important truth if they keep in touch with the trotting horse breeders' they have invited to co-operate with them. The best type of well-bred trotting horses to-day are little raore than au intensified type ''. the carriage horse. They have the best conformation for road work of any horse in the world. ! The best for tho heavier work of ! pulling a big carriage. ' They havo J been bred until they possess a liar ; nij;ny of good points unknown in any otl.or horse. Ali of th.-'so things are desirable in tho carriage- horse. The lici-ae:uau.

"I didn't pawn the. things be'eauso, I needed the money,'" said the well . dressed woman. "I put them there tor safe keeping. For several years I have been storing my furs in a pawnshop during tho Summer. Since they were so well taken care cf there I concluded to trust the pawnbroker with my jewelry this season. Last year the warehouse where I had the things stored was broken into and i lost two rings and a bracelet. "A pawnshop is about the safest place on earth to keep things in. It is hard enough for people to get their own stuff out sometimes, but it is almost impossible for anybody elsa to get it. Also it is cheaper than a, rafety deposit vault, so for that com bination of reasons I have become a pawnshop patron." Washington Star. A millionaire is not necessarily a hard-hearted creature, but as long as somebody is bound to be poor he is equally determined it should be a million other fellows. IIow's This?

Newspapers throughout tho coun try, in order to meet the increase-.! cost of white paper coming, as it does, at a most inopportune time are advancing subscriptions or adver tising rates. Hundreds of weekly pa pers have advanced their subscription rates, while many dailies have advanc ed their prices for subscription or ad vertising. White paper has jumped 20 pet cent. in. the "last few months. ThL' advance comes on top of other ad vances made during the past two years. The manufacturers claim these advances have been mado necessary by the increased cost of labor and raw materials. "We do not believe these advances are justified but our opinion does not weigh with tho pa per makers. Congress gives r.o sign.-t of reducing the tariff on . wood pulp and other materials that enter into paper making, and tho newspapers must make up the deficiency by either making patrons pay more for the papers or advancing the advertising vr.L'. The increased cost of paper puts a very heavy burden upon tho news papers, and it is only right that their. patrons should share some of the ad ditional cost. The fact is, there is no industry in American that yields such small returns, capital, energy and in telligence in management and publica tion considered. Nashville, Tenn., American. THE DOCTOR'S GIFT Food Worth its Weight in Gold. We usually expect the doctor to put us on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a patient (something entirely different and the results are truly interesting. "Two years ago," writes this pa tient, "I was a frequent victim of acute indigestion and biliousness, be ing allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me a small-package, saying he had tound something for me. to eat, at last, "He said it was a food called Grape-Nuts, and even as its golden color might suggest, it' was worth Its weight In gold. 1 was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but at last consented to try this new food. "Well! It surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation, and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape Nuts. "1 noticed improvement at once, and in a month's time my former spells of indigestion had disappeared. In two months I felt like a new man. .My brain was ruuen clearer and keen er, my body took on the vitality of youth, and this condition has contin ued." "There' a Reason."

"ily brother jiad eczema three different summers. Each 'summer "it" came out be tween his shoulders and down his back, and be said his suffering ' was terrible. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment mid gave it a faithful, trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in In diana heard of how my daughter, Airs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuticura Itemedies and they cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back. , Mrs. Sarah E. .
