HORSE FACTS.
Animal Which Labors for You Should
Have Best Feed.
Are you planning to keep your
horses comfortable this winter?
Do not expose the horse so that ho
1b liable to take cold, but give him
the protection that you give the fam
ily. The horse which labors for you
should have the best feed for the farm.
Make It a point to see that the best
quality of hay goes to the horses.
And it 1b not hard to notice that they
make the best use of the best feed.
It will not do to try to make the
horse fit the harness. It is wiser
economy to fit the harness to the
horse. The horse has his shape, but
you can chango the harness that is
what it has buckles for.
There is not much use in grinding
feed for horses If they have good
teeth. You will make nothing by
grinding oats for the horse. Some
horsemen claim that crusncd oats are
110 near as good as whole oats.
There is danger of over-feeding
horses and they can easily get too
much grain. The horse will have
poor digestion soon enough without
trying to bring it on.
Feed horses grain in proportion to
the work done. The feed should bo
lessened on idle days, o serious re
sults will often follow. Regulate the
amount of the feed according to the
amount of work done.
All animals need salt in their feed.
Salt aids digestion, and by actual test
on cows they glvo a certain amount
of milk more each day when fed salt
Tho moro I work horses with all
kinds of bridles tho more I am in fav
or of the blind bridle. 1 find that the
horse gets quite tricky when worked
la an op on bridle. Ho will learn to
shirk every time. E. J. Waterstripe,

Cost of Calves.
Do you know how much It costs you
o raise your calves? It would prove
interesting and profitable for you to
keep a record. Prof. Shaw of Michi
gan, did so, and found that the Hoi
stein calf usod in the experiment the
first year of its life 331 pounds of
-whole milk, 2.5GS pounds of skim
milk, 1,262 pounds of silage, 219
pounds of boot pulp, 1,234 pounds ol
hay, 1,247 pounds of grain, 147 pounds
of roots, 14 pounds of alfalfa meal
and 50 pounds of green corn. Tho
grain ration consisted of threo parts
each of corn and oats and one part of
bran and oil meal. At the end of the
year the calf weighed 800 pounds at
a cost of $28.55 for feed.
Water dtock In Two Fields.
This cut shows a concrete trough
so arranged that the stock in two
separate fields can obtain water from
the same place without interfering or

he built with a solid base or set on
blocks. Tho common Ue in use la

ments. Raising Pigs.
The cheapest way to put gains cm
young pigs is through the sow. She
has a strong digestion and can turn
ao&rso grains and pasture into ooslly
digested milk. Careful experiments
show that a pound of weight taken
from the sow will make more than 1
pound of gain on the pigs, the flesh
of the young animals containing more
water. The bow should be fed to
produce a high milk yield, and the
pigs should go kept with ber until
they get to eating a full food of grain
and pasture.
Balanolng Ration.
When one has corn, corn fodder,
-ensilage and clover hay, it is coaald
orod tho best practice for one to pro
ure a food rich in protein, such as
bran, cotton-seed meal or Unseed
-meal in the proportion of 6 parts
hran, 8 parts cornmeal, 1 parts cot
ton-seed meal, and feeds 10 pounds of
the mixture each day, with 30 pounds
of ensilage and 10 pounds of clover
hay, he will get very good results.
Molasses Is ordinarily fed by sprink
ling over the hay or ensilage. Coun

Don't Pasture Too Early.
There Is always a temptation to
turn the stock on pasture before the
grass has had a chance to get a start.
At this time the animals will get lit
tle good from the pasture, and they
are likely to do much damage In
trampling the wet soil. Let the
ground get solid and the grass a good
start before they go on It
Dirty Troughs a Danger.

A true copy of the Joint Resolution.
ROBERT MCAFEE,
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
Jilted When She Loses Beard.
An unusual suit, involving a woman
endowod with a beard, has Just been
decided by the French courts. The
woman was engaged to be married, and
thinking her fiance would like her bet
ter If her face was like that of other
women, she entered into a contract
with a face specialist, who agreed to
remove every hair. He did so, but
scars and marks were left on the wo
man's chin. Whether it was because
of this was not brought out, but tho
engagement was broken off. The wo
man thereupon sued tho specialist for
damages. The question whether her
looks had suffered was submitted to an
expert This wa3 his Judgment: "A
comparison of the present condltlou
of Mile. X's physiognomy with that
shown in a photograph taken in 1904
leads to the undoubted conviction that
the woman's face now presents a far
more agreeable expression than at that
time. At all events it is far more fem
inine looking." The Judge decided
against the woman.
Quick Growing Flowers.
One morning you drive through the
woods and see nothing but the usual
green of winter; two days after on
the same road you behold afar what
seems to be a huge white sheet show
ing through the tree trunks and
bushes, says a Pass Christian corres
pondent in the St. Louis (Ma) Qlobe
Democrat. It la not a sheet merely
a solid curtain of Cherokee roses,
waxy, white, fragrant and blooming
so thickly that only here and there is
any green to be seen.
A big dead tree that has been show
ing gray and hideous for months turns
overnight into an enormous purple
bouquot; It is tho work of a wistaria,
sending down showers of lavender
sweetness with every puff of wind.
Sweet olive, bridal wreath, wild Jas
mine and fifty others rush Into a
prodigality of bloom that seems a
wicked, delightful extravagance to
northern eyes, and the noble army of
lilies marches up the eldo of each
path and waves its banners beneath
every wall.
Widow to Widowers.
Mr. Robert Marshall, a well-known
London pollco court missionary, re
cently received tho following letter:
"Dear Sir: Reading of you some
times in newspapers, I tako the liberty
of asking If you know oft a very re
speckable man wishen to get married
again. I have bean a widow for yean
now and am all alone in the world.
Trusting to your honor and remaining
yours respeckable, Mrs. , middle
age."
Litters Aid to Literature.
The truly literary man has a cleared
space about eight inches square on a
corner of his desk; in this space ho
does his writing. The rest ot the desk
la buried deep under a heap of press
ing bills. When a desk looks orderly
as a race-BulcIdo home the chances are
that the owner's literariness is as
sumed. No litter, no literature."

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year o'peru witn a deluge of new mixed paints. A con
dition brought about by our enterprising dealers to get some kind
of a mixed paint that would supplant CHILTON'S MIXED

There are reasons for the pre-eminence of CHILTON PAINTS:
1st No one can mix abetter mixed paint.
2d The painters declare that it works easily and has won
derful covering qualities.
3d Chilton stands back of it, and will agree to repaint,!at his
own expense, every surface painted with Chilton Paint that

4th Those who have used it are perfectly satisfied with it,
and recommend its use to others.
