'CS| , ; . ' THE DRAFT HORSE. ' ? The heavy draft horse is one of the most profitable classes of horses that the farms? can raise. He should weigh from-1800 pounds upward-the more $?f?'l?tt?r, provided it is conducive ?with quality and good feet and legs. The body should .be deep, wide ann" strong; couplt-d with shortness -ot back and the muscling of t?te lion. Good ;ic?bn"ls essential as indicated by the length of stride, quickness of step and straightaway movements. | WARMED GRAIN FOR POULTRY. ? Mention has, been made in this de partment of the pian of the writer in feeding whole corn to fowls at night and haviag it almost hot. This -winter ,we have made it & practice to feed all -whole ?raia only after warming, lt wa^fpund that the. nights the ?fowls Were given the hot corn they were fcappy and warm, while op: ether -nights, when other grains were fed in their rotation in the ration, the fowls were more or less restless and did not settlfc down to sleep so soon. R'lfk little thoughv made it apparent : that the birds missed the warm tood, just as a human would miss it, and that their stomachs were no more pleased with a cold supper on. a cold night than the stomach of the feeder would be. This plan of feeding to gether, with the plan of having all wa* ter given the fowls warmed, nearly ?pt, worts nicely, as any one will see ??too will try it. . ? : ? ?1 " TENDENCY OF BREEDS. - It should be borne in mind in. bree?> ?ng that the proper type is wh?t snbuld ?)? ?l2ned at, and not singly breed, bad ?fe well as good. Plymouth Rocks can lie raised, but thc correct type of this breed should be aimed at. The English Dorking is recognized as the best type *>f fowl, and all breeders are trying to produce this style. The points to aim Vt are prominent, long, yet square, breasts, short legs, but with good width. ' 'between. Low set birds with good p ?t?asts are wanted, and these are the liest to fatten. The utility type as against the purely exhibition is grad ually forcing its way to the front The 'broad and blocky Buff Orpington, showing the shortest legs of any bird, is* a ease, in point. It is impossible to say which breed of birds ave the best Sayers. It is the best to breed from ?j the birds which yon- notice are the best egg producers from, your own observo.* tion.-Maritttne Farmer. - ^ .?.-..'??v TWO HANDY TOOLS. ' i The illustration shows two tools ? which will be found useful on any farm where fruits and vegetables are grown. The rakelike tool is ?rn onion Vow marker and will save an immense a?nount bf time in setting onions i? used as directed. Take a piece of material three feet long and about two inches square and, after boring suit able holes four inches apart, set in and fasten pins of wood so that they will project about two inches. These pins should be about one-half inch square and. bluntly pointed. Attach a short ?andie as shown and the tool is ready. THE HANDY TOOLS. To .use set the marker on the line laid out for the row and, with the foot, press lightly down so as to make a shallow hole to indicate where the onion set is to go. The other tool is a tree pruner and is made by taking a hardwood pole six feet long and one and one-quarter inches in diam eter and rounding it. An old fork handle will do nicely for the purpose. Buy a good one and one-quarter inch chisel and fit one end of the pole to the socket of this chisel. If this tool is kept sharp it will easily cut a limb a half inch in diameter and it will be found very useful in working where it would be very troublesome to place a knife or a handsaw. A DIGESTIVE FOR HORSES. . As nearly all horses are troubled . with indigestion, due largely to same ness in rations, and many are subject to attacks of colds, it is a good plan to have on hand some simple digestive which may be mixed with the feed .'given the horse. Horses that are sub ject to stomach disturbances should be given bran mashes several times a ' week, r.t night, and oats should consti lute a very considerable portion of their grainration. In feeding the bran mashes mix in each a tablespoonful of powdered charcoal. If the animal ob jects to it at first, reduce the quautity : and- then increase to the quantity named. Horses subject to colic should be carefully worked, and if such at tacks appear with any regularity, daily exercise should take the place of work and the horse be treated by a veterin arian. Try this charcoal treatment, . do it regularly, and you will find the digestive organs of the horses much improved. Our Taste For Chocolate. The taste of the people of the United States for cacao and chocolate appears to be developing with rapidity. Fig ures compiled by the Department of Commerce and Labor show that the importation of cacao has grown from nine million pounds in 1883 to twenty four million pounds in 1893, and sixty three million pounds in 1903. Cacao, as is well understood, is the product of the cacao tree, which gro^s wild in tropical America, and is also much cultivated there, and to some extent in Asja and Africa. The fruit of this treej a pear-shaped pod from five to ten ipches in length, contains numer oqu la?ge seeds from which the choco late pf commerce is produced, while the she)ls are also utilized for the de coction known as cacao, or cocoa, used as a substitue for tea or coffee. It is the crude cacao, leaves and shellu wjiieb form the large and rapidly growing importation above referred -, to,. which has increased from nine million pounds In 1883 to sixty-three million pounds in 1903. The value of importation of cocao in this crude form Ibas grown from one million dollars in 1883 to four million dollars in 1893, and pearly eight million dollars in 1003>rHarper,s Weekly. .Commercial failures to the number, ol %\$52 were reported in Germany in 1903, The average amount of each WERE ALL COLORED!

"Speaking of the curious explana tions that are made in courts of jus tice, and the resourcefulness of men who are confronted by the rather un pleasant prospect of a sentence of a long or short duration, reminds me of a rather novel case which came uuder my observation some time ago,*' said a man who frequents thc courts of this city, "and the particular case I have iu mind shows how desperately' re sourceful a man may sometimes be. The charge against him is of no par ticular moment. The act he had com mitted was to plunge headlong into Bayou St. John, that romantic stream which winds a rather sluggish way Into the lake in the lower part of the city. Ho was pulled out, and before de could thoroughly realize what was happening to him he was drlppiug ilong a public highway with a robust policeman swinging on to his arm. He tvas lodged in jail an:l it became nec essary for him to make some sort of explanation to go on one of the city records, and this is where the funny part of the business comes in. The Recorder put the question to him blunt ly: 'Why did you jump into the bayou V The fellow hesitated a second or so. Well, Judge,' he finally said, ' with more confidence than you can imagine, I just wanted to find out what was it the bottom of the bayou.' The ex planation was clever, and even orig inal, but the Recorder was not inclined to accept it, so he entered a small fine against the man."-New Orleans Times-Democrat. Orange Tree Emblem of Love.

Waverley Magazine. Finlt-Katlnsr. Hygienists all agree in telling us that we do not eat nearly enough fruit, which is infinitely more productive of health and beauty than sweetmeats and pastry. Ripe apples are especially healthy, and children may eat them without danger. Some doctors say that an apple at bedtime produces sleep. Pears are more tasty than ap? p'es, but not so healthy unless cooked. Prunes have medicinal qualities which cannot be denied. They are better cooked, however. Apricots are also more healthy cooked than raw. Peaches are very good, but the most health-giving of all fruits are grapes. Some Religious Slang.
