Huime.‘ the noted horse judge, was in Winnipeg recently placing the ribbons on choice animals in many of the horse classes, says The Farmers' Advocate, he took advantage ' clan opportunity at the stock lunch~ ‘ton to tell farmers of the Canadian West that they should go in exten- sively for raising horses of all kinds. including army remounts . “In Wes~ tern Canada," he said, “you have the best climate in the world, and an ~ bundance of food and water that the one wants." This is just what many others who :are in a position to speak with au- thority have said. Feed can be pro- : duced in abundance at low cost; for ‘ the most part the water is satisfac- 1' tory; the climate is such that with Lreasonablo care horse flesh is devel- “-oped to perfection. In spite of these facts. it is remark- able how few farmers really try to ' raise enough horses to increase their annual cash returns. Some will not .be bothered with colts around the Eulace; others consider that there is a chance that after they have paid the' stallion service fee the foal will die 'l‘heyhave a sort of holy horror of anything that entails more risk than the growing of wheat. But ,there are men in the prairie provinces who are making money from breeding mares of the proper typeâ€"and they are be: coming more numerous year by year. _ They have realized‘that it should not be necessary to bring thousands of dray and farm horses from the East every year. Thr-y have found out that .ihere is profit in a horse at three or “four years when he can be exchanged for cash totalling almost as many hundred dollars. The horse raising industry is worth considering. WINTERING FARM HORSES . How to Keep idle Horses Cheaply In the Winter 'There are three’ or four methods of Some turn out the idle horse and let them “rustle,' some winter them In protected yards and others winter in the stable Horses that will not be required to work from freeze-up in the fail till seeding begins in spring can be win- ‘-tered as, well outside as in, and more cheaply. If given a protected yard, into which a liberal supply of oat straw has been blown, they will come through the winter in as good shape or better than horses that have been closely confined and fed liberally on ;.grain. An idle horse given plenty of good straw, some prairie bay, a. few oat sheaves and water can be wintered in the yard at a minimum cost in la- bor and feed. Nature provides a heavy coat of hair, so the horse does .not suffer any from the cold. Horses thus ivintered should have :all the straw and rough fodder they .will eat. Oat is the best straw. Corn :stalks are an excellent feed for horses mhus wintered. With oat straw and ssome hay no grain is required. Six weeks before spring work opens, light grain feeding should begin. Colts may be wintered in-the same way, but it is preferable to stable the weanling the first winter. Two colts .‘in a box stall are company for each wother, and if fed the usual rough fod- -der ration, and what cats they will clean up, do better than foals that rustle in the yard.-â€"â€"Farmers' Advo .cate. CELERY HAS RUST 'There will likely be a shortage in 'the celery crop this year. The recent storms have brought with them a rust known by growers as a celery disease, and it is playing havoc with the celery. Local growers claim that it was brought by the storms of the past month or so. The first sign no- ticeable is when the leaves turn red in spots. This gradually spreads over the‘ leaves until they wither and dc- cay. Then it strikes the roots of the celery and the root and stalks rot 'and die. Local dealers say that grow. ers throughout the whole country are .being botheredâ€"St. Thomas Journal. FINE HORSES FOR CANADA Nearly 1,000 horses have made the 'transatlantic voyage to the St. ,Law- rence this year. Mostly Hackneys and Clydesdales. the animals are to be distributed in a dozen different cities and towns throughout the Dominion. Mr. Robert Ness. of leowick. 'is the owner of twelve of the animals. Forty. four of the ponies are going to Mr. .Sinton, .of fiegina. wh‘iie Mr. Bogus is ‘taking ‘iifteen more to the West. All are bred from high-grade British stock and their :coming will be wel- comed by homemen tthroughmrt .Can ads. - ORIGIN OF "‘60 T0 BLAZES" When Mr. Bodkin applied for the .

J hlto Worn for Part of the Ceremony ; But for a Strange Reason 5 ' ‘â€". Brides in Japan follow the same icustom which prevails in the Western gWOl'ld, that of Wearing white at the [wedding ceremony. at least during a ,part of it. But the significance at- tached to the choice of this color is‘ quite different on the W0 sides of 'the world. ‘ The Japanese bride is dressed first in resplendent garments of white silk. the sleeves of the costume usually be- ng about three feet in length, while :the sash, an important feature, mes- puring about 11 fee in length. But white, as the Oriental Review explains, is the mourning color in‘ Japan, and the bride, leaving hen parents' house. considers herself death tn the same sense that she will never .eturn alive, preferring death to di~ Iyorce, and in consequence wearing a {white costume. _ ,i After the exchange of cups of salts; [width the bridegroom, which is the most important part of the wedding ceremony, the bride changes her cos’; :tume to a red one. This is called: immaoshi (changing color), Red is. .‘supposed to have a purifying power, ‘and perhaps clears the minds of the parties of all association of mourning. This is the origin of the Japanese custom of using white costume at. ,weddings, but many people in mod4 ern Japan do not any longer have ,time to bother their heads with these questions of color, and simply go bhesd and marry according to the ac- cepted custom, with no thought of- 'what the colors signify. i DIAMOND srbooso HEELS The picture shows the novelty intro duced in New York by Mrs. Charles H.
