Seine cher- aeterize biting, kicking, ehYilig, bolting and ecrIbbing. Fair the sale of argu- ment, we 'will assume that thee° are vice, Were they iltheritett or acquired? How Many Of the latter are the result ef bad treatment, anti how many Of natural in- firmitr? Any reliable Information on these pointe could be useful to many boatmen, ex it would greatly bele them in breeding, and also in their endeavors te convert an un- reliable home into a. stetuly one. it is pretty safe to say that vices of biting are hereditary. This belief is borne out by the fate that so many members el Jenne equine familia* poetise a pro- Peneity to use their teeth or their heele so frequently. But it by no Means fee, lows that the offspring' a a kicker should inherit the falling of its sire and dam. It Is likely that constitution or example way be responsible for the vice, and to fine out whether example haa much to do with it, it would be useful to aseer- thin if the young mares that eshe and kick are more numerous than the off - (spring .of elms that posseee ouch vices. Now if we find that the abeVe vices are not inherited, then we find that they ;not be acquired in some way -and, if not by the direct example of the moth- er, either trent some other arsimal with 'which she has come in contact, or elee from some preventive eause-possibly bad treatment hl 801110 way or other, „ Poor sight is the cause for many a home shying and bolting. Misting is of- ten the result of a bigh-spirited animal being ruined by an Injudicious driver. A young horse shies at e01110 unfamil- iar objeet he meets on the road. He nuty shy from balf-fear, and half in play. Tile unprinteplea driver at once uses the whip. Here is where the great damage comes,. Had the animal been talked to and gently urged on he would have learned that the unfamiliar object was eine not to be afraid of. But, on the other hand, this unprinvipled driver has taught the young horse a far different lesson. Tbe hose remembers the object that searea him, and he also remembers the whipping he got at that time. In other words, he identifies the thrashing he got with the thing that scared him. Ie associates the two, He believes tho *Whipping is an adjunet, or has some con- nection with It -and he will grow worse, *whenever he again confronts that object. His terror of it becomes 'contirmed. flIs memory is remarkable good. If treated sensibly, gently driven up to the scares, object that he may examine It at his leisure without being thrashed he will quickly understand and there will be no further trouble. There probably may be some preliminary snorting on hie vart. and a streog hesitation in approaoh- ing it, but patience and coaxing* on the Part of the driver will eventually work wonders. Once the borse understands that the obleet in harmless there will be no further trouble. A. horse with imperfect vision can rarely ever be cured of the habit of bolting When ,once the animal makes up hie mind to go Away, no bit will stop him, Cribbing and wind-sucking are slices which one horse can teach another, and therefore horses that possess them should not be allowed to remain an hour longer In any owner's stable than Is positively necessary. Jibbing is a terrible accom- raisin/tent for any horse to possess, and the man who can derise an infallible cure for it would deserve a. substantial re- ward. Some have succeeded in making a Jibber move on by having a pleoe of rope dragging backwards and forward on the Inside of the forelegs behind his knees -snot sufficiently hard to Injure the skin. but yet hard enough to make him feel it. This Is. however, at:feast a two-hand- ed piece of work, as there has to be some- one at earth end of the piece of rope, and Preferably one In the cart to keep the horse going when he moves; and, there- fore the idea, which is not recommended as Infallible, Is beyond the scope of every ease of jibbing. FEEDING FOR MUSCLE AND FAT. The essence of economical feeding de- pends upon the use of a rational adapt- ed to the object for which the feeding is intended. Therefore a study of the analysis of certain feeds is valuable. The following table la that direction • gives useful information: Carbohy- Protein. drates.

This pro - neaten is oalled the "nutritive ratio." Fat and. carbohydrates are the fattening elements, and by their combustion sus- tain the processes of life, but each pound of fat is equivalent, for these purposes, t -two and a quarter pounds of carbohy- drates. Pleeteja is the trruele-making ele- meet. The nutritive ratio ie the relation that exists between theee two Wads of etemente. To find it, multiply the fat by two and a quarter, add the result to ttee carbohydrates and divide by the number of pounds of protein contained in ts hundred pounds ef the feed. For ex- ample, corn has 66,7 pounds of carbohyd- rates and 43 pounds of fat. Multiply the fat by two and a quarter and add the product to the carbesbydratess then divide by 7.9 pounds of protein and the nutri- tive ratio will be found to be 1; 9.6; that le for each pound. of protein corn centains it contains 9.5 pounds of catb:hydrates and fat equivalents. When tne percentage ot carbohydratee is large in prorrtion to be "wide;" when proportionately small, the nutritive ratio is said to be "narrow." When one is feeriing young animals for growths it will be obvious that a larger Proportion of musele and frame -building elemsh ents ould be fed; wheh muses fats tening a hog or a steer for market, than it is equally obvious that a larger propor- tion of fat -making elements should be fed; when one is feeding for milk, which Is a product containing large quantities of protein, then the ration ahould contain a large porportion of the element, which the manufacture of milk requires, namelY, protein. The eartie Is true of feeding for eggs, which are tio largely composed of albumen, this being only a form of pro- tein. And the whole art of feeding, so far as the composition of the feed Stuffs used le concerned, consists simply in so selecting the feeds that they will ienes'ell ihe elemente for muscle -making and let - making in the proportion that they are neded for the purposes for NV111111 the feeding is done in etch particular ease.

LITilt4AVINCI, MYLES, Hinto for Remmers of the Drownitig, A person has to learn to swim by get- ting into the water and striking out. At the gime time there aro ce,-tain truths that the average man would not likely teach himself even if lie spent muck of his spare time in the iseeite. An observance of these rules will not teach a man to swiin, but they will teaeli a fiwitniner to save a nonswim- mer who falls into the water, and they may teach Iiini to save hie own life when through an expese of intrepidity Ise finds himself in the clutch of some- body he is attempting to rescue, Mere strength will not break the des- perate grip that a terrified drowning Man takes of auyone who ventures within hiss reach, and the fear that both the vietipi and the would -he rescuer will beth be drowned has no doubt deterred many a, coZnpeterst swimmer from at- terapting'a rescue, it is scarce less important to know how to safely approaelx a drowning per- son than to know how to swim, says L. De B. Handley, a noted ewinuner and life saver. Mr. Hanley says that the most important thing for a would -he rescuer to remember is that at the out- set a few seconds lost is not important. Men have been eeetoeed after having been unler water and apparently drown- ed for a long time. He advises that time be taken fOr the rescuer to remove the outer clothing. 'While this is being done, the rescuer should do his thinking, so that by the time he strikes the water he knows ex- actly what he is going to do. If the ao- cidenb occurs in running water, and. the drowning person Is under the surface, the search should not be started below the spot where he has disappeared on the assumption that the.body has drift- ed down.

Wheat bran and meddlinge are as good, if not better, all things considered than any other food.s. Gluten,: oll meal and many of the other foods are good for milk, but aro deficient in minerals that the animal requires. We aro to apt to look for protein alone; but the cows should have mineral matter. All cows look allke to some farmers, bu there is a marked difference in the bank aocount of mush men and the Men who study breeds and individuals. Gluten meal, as a rule, 'produces etoft butter. The pedigree of 'mealtime' showf3 In a. ystornatio way the relationship of the animal to its ancestors. Pure-bred ani- mals have re pedigree, scrules or Mon- grels have not. Animale have been de- veloped until they unifortnly produce off- springs of the parent type. The record of such animals may be traced in their pedigree to ancestors of tho same blood. Such animals from. a breed. A cross -bred animal is the offspring from a pure-bred sire of one breea and a pure bred dam of a different breed. Swill breeding is sel- dom advisable and if practiced sbould not extend further than -one generation, A geode animal, in inany'inetances, has a pure-bred sire and a mongrel or scrub dam, or at most a darn that is not pure- bred, tleually the term "high-grade means that the animal Is from a. dam that has much pure blood stook. For instance, a higb-grade herd of short- horns would mean that an ordinary col- lection of common or scrub stock 'were used to begin with an for several generations nothin,g but a pure-bred shorthorn sire was used. This 13 what Is meant generally by systematically breed- ing up common stock. Proper rotation will keep'the soil In a high state of productivity; will 'prevent excessive lessee in dry years; will keep down, weeds; will mtike it possible to obtain a better disttebvtation of farm labor; will decrease the unit cot of pro- ducing farm products; and will provide feed for sufficient livestock materially to inerease the profits of the farm pro- ductivity. Young breeders should be contented with reasonable progress. One of the most .serious mistakes in animal breeding le to become diseouraged, sell the foun- dation stock of one breed and begin breeding another. Remember that re- sults will be slow and venerate gains often tardv. Seleot the animals you like and the ones that your environment is adapted to. Then have a definite to Ideal se to what the animal should be and aeiect breeders that (moorage the hope of attaining your ideal.

Malt sprouts aro the dried shoots from germinated barley. Brewery gaine are tett barley gains from which the etaroli has been rernoeed by growth and fermen- tation.

To offeet the darkness which grows as the depth t)f the water increases Williamson has cleverly brought electrieity to his aid. ny lowering a group Of electric lights, properly safeguarded against pressure, into tee water, he can take 'Adams at any depth, day or night. Ile has found that such artificial light, far from disturbing the fishes and their friends, attracts them toward the camera. There is no end to the poselbilities of the new invention! Young Williamson has been experi- meriting at Hampton Iloade. He has be:ea so suecessful that he will con- tinue farther afield and on a larger 'Attie. His next work will be crulaing the West /mites with a "movie" 'cam- era and hie Williamson tube. Me hopes to get pictures of the "sunken titles of„YUCatatl," and many other wonders. crIAMPiON BOWLEGS The question of the degree of bone leggedness was won by Toni McNeal. His candidate was Cyrus Blank, who lived in a small town which Toni used to in- fest. "Cly was so bow-legged," said Tom, "that he had to wear Ide panto to bed in the winter time, because his knees stuck out on eath aide of the covers and got frost-bitten. When he died they couldn't find a eoffin in the state big enough for him, because he NVaS so wide, so they /sawed off a section of a round water -tank and laid him away in that." --Montreal Herald. s Our Precise Artist ZO ti 4,0 UR WILLIE i5 COVERED MTH snir.s.
