RATSrXa FARM TEAMS.
Farmers too often sell the beet
horses and content themselves with
any sort of a team on the farm as
being of little consequence, nnd too
often even sell good grade mares that
would raise a fine colt and do better
work than any other horse on the
farm, but the buyer offers ft good
price and the best producer on the
farm is sold.
English and French farmers have
pure bred draught ninres to profitably
do the farm work and raise a colt
every year that pays the rent. Mr.
McLuiu, at a Kansas Farmers' Insti
tute, advocated breeding high class
horses nnd having good teams on the
farm. lie said :
It is impossible to estimate the
difference between a good and poor
team on a farm. Ono means success,
the other means failure. I am asked
to soy which breed of hoises I con
sider tho most promising to raise for
Bale. I suppose, of course, they mean
for the farmers iu this section,
engaged, as they are, iu profitable
farming. I would say that if one-half
of tho farmers here kept an account
and knew just what their horses cost
them when grown and ready to work
they would find that they have cost
them more than they could lie sold for.
I would say, for most farmers, to raise
(if for tale) draught horses. My
reasons are the following :
1. Early maturity.- Draught horses
can be gotten on the market one year
younger tuau a warm lilooueu horse.
2. They are easily broken. It takes
less time to fit them for market. They
do not require such perfect condition
as a driving horse.
3. Then, too, if by chance they have
a slight blemish they will pass muster
where such a blemish would nnut
driver for morket.
4. It don't require any more feed to
raise a big draught horse than it does
a smooth, warm blooded horse.
Now, to snm up, I would say, if you
rniHe horses at all raise good ones of
some pure breed. I am anxious that
our neighborhood should excel in
everything. I am in favor of speciul
farming. I think one-half of us ought
to quit raising horses. Let thoso who
do, raise a higher grade, of horses and
raise them better and worth much
more money than those we are now
ruining.
l he mongrel, mixed up breeds we
have been raising must go. They ought
to have gone twenty years ago. The
little splinter skinned drivers are of
no value so called varm blood. If
you raise drivers raise horses sixteen
hands high, weighing eleven to thir
teen hundred pounds, thut can draw
two persons in a buggy six to eight
miles per hour without oppressing
them. Life is too short and business
too pressing to go plodding along the
road after a plug horse. Webtern

MODERN HAY-MAKINO.
On our large Western farms, where
the hay harvest continues for uuy cou
bideruble length of time, the four-foot
mower has been replaced by one with
u six or a seven foot cutter bar. The
eight-foot rake has given way to one
of twice the width. Other implements
have been added. t'loier grows in
such luxuriance iu the fertile Iowa hi. ll
thut the tedder is indispensable. The
luulir fcaves time and hard labor.
Stac king in the open air bus proved to
be a very ecihtly method of preserving
huy, nnd our prairies are becoming
thii'Lly dotted with huy Iiuiuh, into
which the buy is placed by horse
power. Jiiiiin hun supplanted brawn
in .u greut measure, uud haying may
now In, justly considered uu urt. liy
utilizing thu improved machiuei'y, and
following improed methods, one lnan
cuu now do the work that formerly re
quired two men.
Where tho hay is placed on the
waoa by a hay loader, and taken off
wall a fork or l:ng, a good working
crew for a largo farm consists of fonr
men, and two boys ten to fourteen
years old. With the wide cut-mower,
it is not necessary to begin cutting bo
fore 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This
is easier for the horses, more comfort
able to tho man who drives them, and
much better for tho hay if it contains
much clover. Enough can bo cut be
tween 4 and fl o'clock to keep ahead of
the wagons until tho next afternoon.
One man doesthe mowing and tedding,
and what little raking there is to do,
and still has time to help considerably
in mowing away the hay in the barn.
Tho boys drive the wagons. Two men
stay in the field and do the loading,
and one stays at tho barn to manage
tho horse fork and keep the hay mowed
back. Three teams and one good horse
are necessary, tho latter being use! nt
the bnrn for unloading. When the boy
comes in with a load, ho lends the
horse, which is attached to the fork,
t aking tho load off his wagon while the
other ono is being loaded in the fields.
The timo consumed in loading is
little more than that for unloading,
nnd this allows the man at the lwrn to
scatter the hay in tho mow. Whether
he can keep up this end of the work
depends on tho distance to haul and
the amount of hay in the barn.
Hay is made very rapidly and cheap
ly in this way. With the force men
tioned there is very little time lost.
Everything runs smoothly, and little
energy is wasted. The hay is put in
the barn at the rate of fifteen to twojit y
tons per day, and at a cost of forty-fivn
to sixty cents per ton, varying, of
conrse, with tho weather. On tho farms
of the Atlantic and Central States this
tedder, loader and horse fork are com
ing into increasing favor, but the av
erage farmers of those regions manage
tho work with two, or at most three,
horses and two men. The tedder and
the loader not only savo timo nnd
money, but the hay is secured in much
better condition. The tedder shakes
the grass, and gives the air a chance
to circulate through it, and dry it
evenly and quickly, without burning.
The loader follows, and takes the hay
out of the swath, hence the leaves ore
not shaken off, as when it is raked.
Hay barns are becoming deservedly
popular. No buildings on the farm so
quickly repay the money invested. A
good hay barn, holding fifty tons of
hay, can be erected for one hundred
to one hundred and twenty-five dollars,
and not infrequently enough is saved
by its use in one year to entirely cover
the cost. The saving occurs in three
ways. First, the time and labor saved
during the harvest season, to say noth
ing of the advantage of putting every
load under a roof, and having no open
stocks to be caught by sudden showers.
Second, the elimination of the large
waste on top and sides that follows
stacking. There is practically no waste
whatever with the hay barn. Third,
the saving of labor in feeding the hay
during the winter. This lar.t is a con
siderable item, for it often means the
board and wages of ono min during
tho winter months. By putting a plain,
strong manger or rack around the barn,
one man can do the work of two work
ing in the old way. American Agri

reformatories aro cured and that more
would be if thev remained lonirer : therefore.
they recommend thut Parliament give magis

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in tho

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them aud it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Fit?8 is for sale by all drug
gists iu 60c and $1 bottles, but it is man

As the result of my tests, I find the
ROYAL BAKING POWDER superior to all
the others in every respect. It is entirely
free from all adulteration and unwhole
some impurity, and in baking it gives off
a greater volume of leavening gas than
any other powder. is therefore not only
tie purest, but also the strongest -powder
'with which I am acquainted.
