The saddle animal must have peculiar quali- ties often lacking in a good harness goer. But the London Live Stock J our- 31 says, “There is nothing in the build of a truly shaped hunter or back to un- fit him for harness work. ” 9,774.1-Li-.. v. - -_V .1 fit him for harness work. ” The Morgan blood is the foundation of the Kentucky gaited saddle horse. Concerning the old superstition that a saddlehorse is good for nothing else The Breeder’s Gazette remarks:~ ‘~77_ L- LUV ~-v~«« It remained for Kentucky breeders to produce what is incomparably the most valuable horse in the worldâ€"a saddle ‘ horse, first, with the gaits, mouth and I manners of a saddler, and a light har- ness horse, second, with a square, true trot. Some of them are even fast, as ‘ witness Lou Chief, which is standard bred under the trotting register rules and can show a thirty clip. With such a horseit is simply, “You touch the but‘ ton; they do the rest.” Under saddle a touch of spur and curb changes them from a trot to a rack; a snap of the finâ€" gers or a lift of the hand puts them in a canter. In harness they know simply the walk and trot. Their perfect adaptability to this double use gives them a value that cannot attach to a single purpose horse. They constitute in themselves an irrefu- table proof that this dual purpose can be combined perfectly in one horse. ,_3 A“ w..." \. --_--, “V r .. The saddle gaits once learned are never forgotten, and eVen if long in dis- use a good rider can easily bring them to an edge again.

Trainers should endeavor to perfect arrangements to get the horses they are to campaign as early in the year as pos- sible. This practice, it is needless to say, enables the driver to become ao- quainted with the peculiarities and dis- positions of his charges and to do a great many things with them that take up much valuable time when the spring opens and track work commences. When the horses arrive, it is often well to ad- minister an oleate purgative and cleanse the system, for frequently little atten- tion has been paid to diet during the rest given the horses in the early win- ter. Though this is really a trivial mat- ter, the best results may just as well be obtained, as it takes no more time to do it right than to do it in a slipshod way that is productive of only moderate ben- efit. Let the animal do without oats for a couple of days, feeding instead bran mashes, and at the end of the second day give him from the drenching bottle a pint and a half of raw linseed oil. The third day feed only bran mashes in rather light quantities, and on the even- ing of that day give another pint. Feed lightly for the next two or three days, .11 1. - and at the end of the week it will be ‘ found that the medicine will have done what was required of it, and that the horse is a good deal better in conse- quence. During the treatment walking exercise should be given twice or thrice a day, half an hour at a time. The next thing to be done is to make a careful examination of the animals. If they have been wintered roughly, run the clippers over them, but if they have been blan‘k- eted and well stabled their coats will be short enough to render the clipping un- necessary. Jogging work should be now begun on the roads in order to get a good supply of hard muscle on hand be- fore the regular training season arrives. The journeys should be short at first, say four or five miles a day, gradually lengthening out to 10 or 12 miles at a sharp trot. The roads are generally bad at this time of the year, and therefore a keen lookout should be kept to see that rough or stony places are avoided. It is an easy matter to knock out a good horse. 131.13- 1-: an 9'ou “l"v‘vâ€" ..

A reasonable working balance should be left in the trainer’s hands to meet cur- rent expenses. The more simply and clearly the accounts are kept and the more frequently they are rendered and settled the less trouble there will be at the final round up of the season and the more satisfaction will be giVen to all concerned. - '7; u- _....a- 1-... ‘the writer owned a very well bred UUUUULUUW On general principles it must be maintained that the more friendly the relations are betWeen the trainer and owner the greater will be the success of improving as he should. the OWner will naturally enough be disappointed, but will be far better satisfied with a plain statement of the facts as soon as they» finds out for himself, as he surely must. ‘ that he has been deceived. A case in point is this: A friend of ment. The colt was extraordinarily big gaited, and owing to the width of his chest grabbed his quarters whenever moved up to his limit. He wasra little with him altogether, and instead of do- ‘ Eng better the colt got worse from day THE WATCHMAN,!LINDSAY. THURSDY.

The ma- jority of men who own horses like to make the first loss the largest as well as the last and desire to know when their horses are not improving as they should. â€"Eorseman. _________â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- Feeding For Eggs and For Market. Broadly speaking, there are two par- ticular objects to be attained in feeding poultryâ€"(1) the rapid growth of young poultry and preparation for egg laying; (2) fattening for market. Poultry for profit recognizes little more than this except perhaps in case of breeders, who will desire in a very few instances a. feeding method for mere maintenance. ‘ In selecting feeds, therefore, the ratio between the-“protein” and the “carbo- hydrates” must be observed. For egg laying, the production of muscle, etc., the average of “carbohydrates” in the foods should, according to Farm Jour- nal, approximately equal four times the average of the “protein;” for fatten- ing, etc., the “carbohydrates” should be about six times the “protein. ” Thus: Carbohy- Protein. dratcs. Egg laying, etc ....... Fattening, etc ........

To compute the proportions of any combination of materials, either for fat- tening or for egg production, it is but necessary to use such multiples of the “carbohydrate” ratios as will give a mathematical average of four or six, as the case may require. Thus for egg production: TWO pounds wheat middlings ............ 8% One~half pound corn ...................... 4%. One pound cut bone ....... . . .............. 4. â€"- “vv-vâ€"O» ..

Ventilation, properly arranged, is es- sential to the health of the fowls in winter, and it tends to increase their egg laying. Every hennery should have a ventilator, but it should always be closed tight on the approach of cold weather. Many ventilators do more harm than good. The idea is to keep the air circulating only when the weather is warm. During cold weather sufficient ventilation can be given by throwing the doors and windows open in the day time. If impure odors seem to affect the inhabitants of the house, the one thing needed is a thorough cleaning through- out. Cold winds and drafts from venti- lators cause the death of more fowls than almost anything else in the im- proved sort of henhouses. Ventilation is essential to the health of the fowls, and hence to their egg laying, but it can only be obtained by forethought and care. Watch the thermometer and regu- late the air accordingly. It will pay in the end. One man who lives on the outskirts of the city keeps about 300 hens. The morning feed consists of a warm mash. Sometimes it is composed of bran, mid- dlings and ground corn and oats, and sometimes of but one or two of these. A little egg food is added to this mash three times per week. The refuse and scraps from five restaurants are obtained daily, and these form the noon feed for the birds. At night their feed consists u- 5--.: M. “ML fine ULL’ua. a... .. -i. of mixed grains. No green food or veg- etables are given them except such as are among the waste from the restaurants. Grit is given them in the form of crushed limestone, which is bought already pre- pared. These fowls lay remarkably well, and the secret of it is in the variety of food they get among the restaurant scraps. When fowls habitually lay thin shelled eggs, their systems are not in a healthy condition and have generally become enfeebled by overfeeding and getting overfat. Thorough change of diet, air, sun and exercise will be followed by the production of perfect eggshells. .It is said sumac berries will cure cholera. A neighbor had cholera in his flock, and as soon as he commenced feed- ing sumac they ceased dying and were soon entirely well. .

The most serious less experienced was from the rot which followed the late blight with unusual violence, destroying over half our crop of late potatoes Where they were not sprayed. A comparative test was made of 22 fungicides to determine their rel- ative merits for use in combating these potato diseases. In the annual report of the director, J. L. Hills, only two are recommended for general use in Ver- mont. These are bordeaux mixture and ‘ modified eau celeste. _He says: » Several strengths of bordeaux mix- [' tures were tested. Of these the strongest i gave the best results. For practical pur- i poses, however, one containing about a pound of blue vitriol to ten gallons of water was found best. The modified . eau celeste was not equal to bordeaux, but is more convenient to prepare and apply. The addition of soap to these fungicides increased their value on early potatoes, but seemed to detract from it on the later ones. We do not recommend it for general use. These fungicides, especially the bor- deaux and- soap mixtures, serve also to ‘keep. the small insects known as flea beetles from eating the potato leaves. This is an important thing, since these insects often do very great damage to the potato crop by puncturing the leaves with small holes. The actual gain from spraying our earliest potatoes three times with bordeaux mixture was 84 bushels per acre, or 50 per cent. This was chiefly due to checking the early blight. The gains from spraying the later potatoes averaged over 180 bushels per acre, or about 120 per cent. This um J--- L- Aknnlr§nn SPRAYING FOR POTATO BLIGHTS. yua- "v- v, vâ€" â€"~ . latter gain was largely due to checking the late blight and the rot. These results lead us to advise the use of bordeaux mixture upon all potatoes in Vermont. For applying these mixtures on small fields we have nothing so good as a knapsack sprayer. For larger fields the best apparatus is a barrel force pump mounted on a two wheeled cart. ”Wuhan-vu- vâ€" v. The date of spraying is very impor- tant if the best results are to be secured. From our experience we recommend as follows: Early potatoes planted April to May 5, spray about July 1, 15, Aug. 1 and again if needed; medium potatoes planted May 5 to May 15, spray about July 15, Aug. 1, Aug. 15 and again if needed; late potatoes planted May 15, or later, spray about Aug. 1, Aug. 14, Aug. 28 and again if needed. 1110 Kamer’s Uniforms. The task of looking after the uniforms and other costumes of the Emperor Wil’ liam is by no means a sinecure. All ; these difi‘erent and greatly varying ar- ticles of attire, as diversified as those at the disposal of a star actor, are careful- ly kept, systematically arranged and in large wardrobes, and at the head of the department is an official entitled the obergarderobier, who has under his com- mand two valets de ohambre. The nan- tical uniforms are placed under the M 1' LL- “A- uanl uuaav-.... _._- I. charge of an ex-subofiicer of the Ger- man navy. Before the emperor under- takes any one of his many expeditions the obergarderobier is provided with an exhaustive list of all the dresses and other paraphernalia that will be re- Ilaâ€"Ired.â€"L2mdon Tit-Bits. “Dry bogs” were once rather com- mon, but in the east they are largely given up, because they are found not to be uniformly successful over a series of years. Flooding is a necessity if one gets certain insects and diseases, which he is likely to do if he grows cranber- ries long. Flooding is also a protection against frost in fall and spring and against heavy freezing and heaving in winter. There is much difierence in va- rieties, and it is generally best to se- cure plants from a cultivated bog. for one is then more certain of getting a uniform lot. About 150 varieties are known. Some are dark and some light. In the Cape Cod region the favorite berry is the Early Black, says Professor L. E. Bailey in Rural New Yorker. Forced Molting. I am somewhat interested in chickens and winter eggs, says afarmer, but have had trouble in getting my hens feather- ed and laying before winter. I tried an experiment this season which, I believe, will assist winter egg production. I plucked the greater portion of their feathers about July 1. The result is that those so treated were feathered perfect- ly Nov. 1 and laying eggs. My reason for this is to grow feathers while the weather is hot and eggs cheap. Poultry Notes. : Strong. stimulating food has a tenden- cy to disorganize the stomach and pro- duce indigestion.
