HOLDING HARNESS TRACES. ' Dev.'ce Which Will Prove a Great 'I Convenience When Unhitching. C It frequently happens that the hook 0 that holds up the traces of the fa 14 Fc - C e S, ii rig. .-Poeltion of Snap and Strap. harness gets broken or the harnese c never had one. In either cAse I use S a snap fastened to the back band with tl a piece of leather and a rivet, at shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanyina ci C g L h I~k F4g 2.-On Harness and Horse, h illustrations. If, suggests Prairie Farmer, a rather large snap is chose: both cock eyes can be held securel8 with one snap. b - - - -- - - - ---b BREAKING THE COLT. Begin Early and Be Very Patient ir a the Work. F When a colt is coming two year, old I put a bitting harness on it an( N turn it out in a lot, away from othe: a rees and colts, says a writer ir Farmers' Review. I then train him tc be guided by the use of lines ruN through rings low down on a wid( h strap surcingle, which I use for this s purpose. I then drive the colt around n the lot for a short time. When I de sire the colt to turn pull one line firmly, at the time te sing the coll b gently on the oppoel 3 side with u light whip. I then train him to bacl d and also to stop by the use. of the word whoa. I then hitch the colt in with an old a steady horse that is not afraid of any thing. I wish to say that a colt never ti should be broken with a blind bridle. Colts that are being broken-should be permitted to see eterything that is going on around them. When some. a thing occurs and the colt sees that the a mate it is being driven with is in no way concerned, it quickly gets over its fright. h -There is a great difference in breedse Rs to the readiness with which the colts become trahned to daily work. I find the Percheron by all odds theb easiest horse to train. A Hambleton Ian, ? think, requires more time and patience to train, than any other breed with which I have had experi ence. The Hlambletonian IS naturally nervous and skittish. I have broken and trained a great many of them, but have never found one that I did notI have to watch very closely. They aret always on the lookout for something i strange. On the part of the trainer, the moot essential elements are patience, firm. nessand good judgment. Choking of Animals. b Hardly. a farmer has not had more or less experience with animals be-: a Ing choked. This can be remedied to te a very great extent, or can be re t lieved. While animals will get choked I once in a while it can be helped. The s simplest thing to do which may saveh the life of a valuable animal and will t f not hurt it, is to Insert a piece of corn mon rubber hose about six feet long down the cow's neck; perhaps it would be well to hold the animal's mouth open with a cord until you a~ strike the apple, or'.whatever it is that b chokes her. Often the apple is so C swelled, or so firmly wedged, as to be tl difficult to stir. Run a buggy whip I down this rubber pipe. The pipe will n fit against that apple, se there will be ' no danger of making any hole In the ~ animal's gullet. Press the end of the ~ whip carefully down until it reaches ' the stomach. The gas will escape quickly through the pipe and the ani- . mal will be relieved.-Dr. E. E. Tower. ~ Good Hogs Quick Money. Good hogs are quiecly turned into money. There is little reason for dis putting the value of a hog raised for pork. The boards of trade quote pork, a1 and..that brings the pig into the same catagory as wheat, which is about tho samie as money, if it is at a point t of railroad transportation. The hog is the 'more a moneymaker because he s easily reared and within a year ron birth 1s ready for the market. I- can make use of a great variety of ood-and make more meat out of that Dod than any other animal. The Brood Sows. If you expect a fine, uniform lot of igs next spring the brood sows hould be of somewhat the same type. 'he boar alone is not capable of cer ig all the deficiencies of all the sows. 'he Pr)ofitable sow is not the big, oarse, rangy sow nor the fine, com act sow, but rather the good-sized, Ven, smooth sow, with plenty of gcod mts. ALL AROUND THE FARM. Have you a good supply of seed orn? The indlcatons are that seed DM of first class quality will be very carce next spring. Don't drive the boy off the farm ito a store or shop. Arrange the farm pork so he will like it. Don't starve the heifer calf just, be ause she is to be kept for the dairy. he should make a healthy growth all nle time. Some people believe in predestined areers. We believe in making one's areer. Don't you? The farm is a ood place to work one out. Don't mix the malt with the feed. et the stock use It as they wish. The secret of good breeding is to ave a good foundation to work upon. Don't chain yourself to a profitless ow. She 5traw ftrm te pig pen is sat tted w!ih liquitd nauiure and is fine r the land. Keep the cows Just on the verge of anger and they will put no surplus L the milk pail. Good stock cannot be raised from ,rubs any muoro than good fruit can 3 grown on poor plants. Some one suggests a rule of three s follows by which to run the home: 'ather, mother and forbearance. A triple extraction of goodness hich will affect the milk pall favor bly: Goodi care. good feed, good belter. Don't have the manure trench be Ind the cows too shallow, or they will tand in it. Eight to ten inches is one too deep. A share of the protIts of the farm elong to the wife, whose faithful tbors has nmde it possible for you to o as well as.you have done. Divy un A government bulletin declares that majority of the piaints and washes Ivertised to protect trees from at. icks of mice and rabbits are either itbout merit or are positively injuri as and liable to kill young trees. ome of the washes require renewal 'ter every hard rain. In experiments ith a wash of whale-oil soap, crude irbolic acid and water, for apple 'eas, it was found that in about 48 ours the carbolic acid had se far vaporated that mice renewed their ork upon thte bark. Blood and grease, Lid to give immunity from the rab it attacks, would Invite the attacks field mice. The bulletin continue.: eports recently received by the bio gical survey seem to indicate that te ordinary lime-and-sulphur wash, icommnended for the winter spraying f trees to destroy the San Jose scale, an effective preventive of the at icks of both mice and rabbits. Ob ervations during the winter of 1906-07 idicate that this claim is well unded. Plenty of Pie. The old lady who distinguished her pies y marking them with a "T," signifying 'tis mince" and "'taint mince," has een outdone by the culinary expert of little hotel among the Green Moun iins. The chance gutest had finished the erious part of a wholesome dinner, when 1e cook, who was also waitress and mudiady, asked him if he didn't want ime pie. "What sort of pie have you?" e asked, expectantly. "Weli, we've got iree kinds," said the hoss,-. "'open iced, cross-barred and kivetred-all ap ie."-Country Newspaper. Nature Faker. There are a couple of old mice round the print shop, and we have een setting trap~s for them-some f those new-fangled things that swat item so quick they never know what uurt them. No result, and we could ot tell why, until we happened to ce one of the wise old ones lead a ow mouse up to the trap and point o a place on it where the fool man facturer had printed in big, black 3tter-s, the words, "mouse trap." So ciuch for the educational influence f the press.-Cactus Point. Mystery Solved.
