Toronto, 23rd Janwfi ‘9°7' Every orchard should have a wind- hreaJc to, protect it from the winter winds. says the Drovers’ Journal. This windbreak should not be too dense. Forest trees are good wind- breaks. Small orchards should have windbreaks on at least three[ sides of them. In large orchards the fruit trees themselves are in a way their own protection.

The ITnited States Bureau of Plant 1 Industry has. says Country Life, in America been experimenting with a new form of red clover which came from tlielblack soil region of Russia: The plant is practically hairless, and therefore does not hold dust like the‘ common red clover. For this reason it is believed that. it will make a. better forage plant for horses. since it will be much less likely to cause heaves. and will be cleaner and more convenient to handle. Bloating in cattle is. perhaps. due in part to the presence of hairs on common ciover. 11} this be true, the trouble would he obviated by feeding them the new hairless Orel clover, An- other objection to the common red clover is that it matures much earl- ier than timothy. with which ‘it is usually sown. It is thus impossible to harvest the mixture at a time when the full value of both the clover and timothy can be obtained.

A press bulletin from the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, says: The various speakers! at the IllSt‘l-‘ tute strongly emphasized the neces-3 sity of having vigor in the flock.‘ With strong healthy birds the best results could ble looked for if proper- ly fed and houSed, but with stock that lacked that brisk appearance so characteristic of the laying hen, there was not much hope for profit. The selection of a few of the best winter layers of good breed type was strongly recommended ‘as one of the very best methods for improve- ment in breeding. The selected hens need not be in large numbers, a half dozen real good ones are plenty, and these should bf) mated to in male from vigorous, 'heavy laying parents. Select}on has heen advocated by many for years, but not in all cases has it proved satisfactory, owing largely to the fact that the farmer confined the selected ghens to a small pen and) allowed the large flock free range. The speakers at the Institute were all of one mind in regard to free range {or breeders. Practically every one’s experience is that eggs from free range hens hatch best. therefore it would seem geod busi- ness to allow the small flock the range of! the fiat-m.

For this reas- on it was advocated not to litter the brooder with anything undesir- able for a chick to eat. Cut hay and straw were considered best.

Exactly the opposite is the, case with “hitching ;” they fire made, not born, although there is no doubt that some colts are _foaled with a predisposition to “hitch," yet it may be kept in abeyance by good h-a'ndling.

Of the “hitching”then, may ‘be- said to he predisposing and exciting. or the predisposing ones the most prolific is the want of power and freedom of movement in the hindquarter. Ca't- hammed horses, those with short hindqimrters, and those that stand with their hooks too far behind them, are very liable to “hitch.“ Bad drivimg is a oeuse that :» fre- quently contributes to this fault.

Any discomfort of the mouth caused by bruises, abraâ€" sions or excoriations, making a. horse sideline or bore, is very apt. in the case of a very prompt horse, to cause “hitching.” 0n the other hand, horses that do not face the :bit firmly'on account of soreness of the mouth or firom the bit being placed too low in the mouth or from lack of courage, or any cause that makes. them go with unsteady heads, are apt to “hitch." A driver or rider with what is called bad hands is‘ alsvl apt to make a. horse "hitch." A driver with bad hands either talus a. heavy unyielding grip of the reins or else .holds them unâ€" steadily, which“, fin either case. is ‘apt to put a. horse of! his balance. “_r-AA .- r' u r“- â€" -,_, The uninitiated are apt to mistake "hitching” for lameness. and ' it is veryfierd to persuade them to‘ the contrary, especially if a. horse keeps doing it persistently.

In the presence of two vet- eran engineers of the Wabash rail- way, Sherifi James D. Burns and two newspaper represenmtix cs, “bile the car was bowling along at the rate of forty milesan hour, Dr. Willey set the device so that it would stop the car at a. point a. mile dia- tant. The motorman then left his post and took a. seat in the rem 0'! the car. When the mile was neaer traversed the car suddenly began to slacken its speed. ’and within a. dis- tance of 200 feet it was completely Stopped. Again. while the car was speeding donn a steep grade at the rate of fifty-me miles an hour the air brakes which are controlled by the device “ere suddenly turned on and the car stopped in 26'!) feet. This statement appearing in a Chicago paper just. after a. terrible railnay accident four years ago set. Dr. W. S. Filley 8. Toledo dentist. to working on a device which would fill this necessity. Judging from the successful tests to which his in- vention was subjected recently on Dr. Filley claims that in actual tests the dev ice will not vary six inches in a hundred miies. Every time, that the car is stopped by the automatic device, the stop- page is registered on ,the machine. When the engineer or motorman ar- rives at his destination. it is up to him to explain these marks and why he! did not stop the car himself in- stead 0! allowing the machine to do it.
