On far too sntuny farms the grain feed supply for the 'horn le at very low level by 'the time Spring seeding is over, and tire stock, reduced in flesh by bard work, are ,given a rest in the fame of a, turn-tlat on new grass that has not passed the washy state.

What adds t, the difficulty o horse labor suppiy en the farms o this country in any year is th shortage of 'horseflesh, induced b the farmer's natural objection t wintering more idle animals bks he considers absolutely necessary Just at this peritoi, this difficulty of horse shortage is accentuated by reason of the fact that breeding has been largely neglected of late years, owing to the failing demand for horses in the city' markets. At the bark of it all lies the increase in use of mechanical motors for city hauling, and to only a slightly smaller degree for traction on ,the farms. There is, however, a reason further back, and that reason, name- ly, the rush of war -time production, has been removed, and demand for work horses is coming back. As aforementioned, one great reason for horse labor trouble on the farm is the persistent shortage of supply during the busy season due largely to the expense entailed in wintering a !heavy stock. Re- newal of the market demand for horses tends to supply a solution for this batter problem. Where an out- let can be found for surplus faint horses by means of sale, a farmer can afford to winter a sufficient stack to provide all the power ne- cessary for his farm workduring Spring, Summer and Fall. More- over, he can afford under such con- ditions, to support a goodly number of brood mares in .his stable, divid- ing the farm work between them so that no mare gets more to do than is good for her, yet enough work to keep her in, good breeding condition. The hot weather condi- tions above referred to emphasize the importance of having all farm work horses, mires included, in at least fair working condition through- out the busy season. Recent reductions in the horse population has not proved an unmix- ed misfortune. One bright spot exists in the fact that .the worst specimens were the first to ee sacrificed.

E. P1 kh&m's Vegetable Ontario, the reaultp of . 2egialsDioa prohibiting be use of c oeo-'bred or lgewde stallions have been the aaost encouraging by reason of the fact that owners have been snore careful in their selection of march for breed= tag, before parting wibh ithe eervilco fee charged kr a good pare bred stallion. In some of the best horse - breeding sections, as is. result of the enforcement of the Stallion Act, together with the discarding 0 in- ferior tnrares as breeders, the actual number of good mares of draft type Li now almost equal to the total number of mares, good and bad, that existed before the Act went into effect. Unfortunately, this doer not apply in a auAieient number of sections. What ,is roost desirable at this stage of the game is, that all good mares be bred, that ..is, where a first-class stallion of the right breed is available. Unfortunately, again, not every pure bred attaldion is a good stallion -quite a few of them now at service ought to be geldings. A little more attention to importing and the selection of the horses imported might help the sit- uation, though there meet be .a limit to enthusiasm for importing aires of the draft breeds, as the breeders of real good pure-bred stal- liens at home deserve every possible masa ragentent. We must remember hat hone -brevis, both snares and stallions, have on various occasions hien awarded premier 'honors over imported coal peti tors at our beat shows. Not i;nly in the draft breeds, how- ever, should the farmer who is a horse !over begin to show greater interest titan of late. Despite all ef- fort opposed to the sport, racing is becoming more popular year by year, and the production of horses suited to take part in the game is legitimate business for the farmer. In the way of thoroughbreds, some splendid stallions have been import- ed from Britain bhis year with a view t:> improving the light horses of this country. The breeding of good light mares to stallions of such pow- er and quality as these, gives the fanner an opportunity to turn out something in the line of a saddle .ho'•se hunter or cavalry remount, that will bring him good returns fo: his investment. The encourage- •ment of such production is the an- nounced object of this importation, but there is nothing to prevent the breeding of a thoroughbred mare on a farm, though training of the progeny is a matter a little outside the scope of .the average farmer's operations. Just with regard to the use of thoroughbred stallions for .bhe pro- duction of horses, what are admit- ted by all to be striotly utility pur- poses, it might be pointed out that a dash of warm blood might, and doubtless would, prove helpful in the case of the horse reserved for straight farm work. Recently an article of the Breeders' Gazette ex- pressed ideas of the "hot weather horse." A business farmer who val- ues his horses according to .their effrciency as" machines to do their work, remarked that the kind which he wanted were those that could stand hard work in hot wealther, it was pointed out. The writer of the, article argued in favor of giving draft mares and stallions a reason- able amount of farm work, in order that they might produce good doers" as well as "good lookers." Ile remarked incidentally that the draft horse breeder does not have so reliable a criterion of excellence as the breeder of trotters and .thor- oughbreds, the reason being that the rare track affords a much snore severe test of stamina, soundness and nerve than show ring stand- ards." A dash of warm blood in the gelding required to do hot - weather duty on the farm would possibly give .hint the advantage over the animal that is all cold blood.

PLANTING THE FLOWER GARDEN The annual delight -to flower lovers of planting the garden is about to be experienced as spring is here. Of- ten bhe desire to plant, however, is so strong that certain kinds are set out in the garden long 'before -!they should be with the result that many plants are ruined by 'late spring frosts. There is no advantage, and great danger in planting geraniums, for instance, before the last week of May, and tender plants are almost certain to be killed. In planting the flower 'gardeh it should always be keptin nrind that !green 'grass is one of. the roost pleas- ing sights about agarden, as flowers without 'grass to set *haul off may he compared with a picture without a frame.

Annuals that are affected by very little frost should riot be plant- ed before the latter part of May as, in addition to their probably being killed by frost, these tender things do not succeed well until the temper- ature of the soil is fairly high. This applies also to such tender plants as Cannan and Dahlias. Gladioli may be planted any time in May.
