4 BIG HORSEel BETTER.
It is said that in the near future
there will be a now breed of horse
that arebetter fitted for farm work
than the average now used. Accord-
ing to,, those who have the matter in
mini, tlieSganimals will have weight
sufficielfr td tittll the plow and yet at
the seine Irmo he not too heavy for
the harrow and cultivator on soft
ground. They will be active for the
Mowing machine and wagon, and on
muddy and rough banks will take the
place of the automobile. ,Above all,
this new animal will have flesh -carry-
ing (morales, thus having the commer-
cial value at any time the farmer can
spare it,
On Many farms three good-sized
horses are used to two -row cultivators.
These same farmers, however Would
prefer to have horses of a larger build,
so that two would be sufficient to do
the work. Where small horses are
employed it frequently requires four
of them to handle those two -row cul-
tivator. , Some farmers Peefer ritual
horses for harrowing. Just why they
• really do not know. There would be
• decidedly more economy In using big
and street, animals and put enough
harrow sections together to cover e
wide strip and give the horses all they
can pull.
*. On the mowing machines great
speed grinds out the gears and breaks
the sickle, but plenty of power is need-
ed to eut a six or seven -foot swath in
heavy grass or clover. Big horses
. come in handy for that. No great ac-
• 'tivity is necessary on the wagon, but
to handle that vehicle when heavily
loaded, and especially when the roads
are muddy, calls for great strength in
the animal. It is not the handling
of empty wagons, but of loaded wag-
ons that makes money. Even at this
work the big horse is the thing on the
farm.
The big heese on soft ground is as
bandy as the little horse in similar
flesh. It is the fat blase that tires
,quickly in soft footing, and yet. the
new breed advocates say that "above
• all, it (the new breed) must have
flesh -carrying qualities" so as to be
• marketable at any time.
Perhaps those farmers who prefer
, light horses, and are tenacious in their
• faith, never give the bulkier and
stronger horse a fair Weal. But every
, year adds materially to the number of
farmers who understand the nedessity
for more horse -pewee in field work,
and who appreciate the value of the
draft horse.
FERTILIZER YIELDS 'MOST ON
POOR SOIL.
Greatest profits masr be expected
from manure when used on the poor-
est soil on the farm or garden. The
richer the land the fess will be the in-
crease in shop yields from the same
ipplications of manure if other condi-
tions are the same.
The value of a toit of manure when
used on sells of different fertility is il-
lustrated by two series of plots at the
Ohio Experiment Station. Corn with-
out any fertilizer or manure 'has t.•iele-
ed 48.07 bushels to the acre for twelve
years in a rotation of corn, oats and
alover. In another series not more
than forty rods away the yield of corn
for nineteenyears has aneraged only
eon? bushels, the other crops of the
rotation being wheat aad clover. Orig-
inally the land was the same, but its
treatment previous. to the time these
experiments began made this differ-
ence in fertility.
Eight tons of barnyard manure with
320 pounds of raw phosphate rock to
the'acre has produced an increase in
corn yield- of 30.98 bueleels on the
poorer soil. On the richer soil the same
application with 1,000 pounds of raw
phosphate nick has increased the corn
crop, only 17.89 bushele to the acre,
altbougte three times tie much of the
phesphorons carrier was added. The
total yield on the manured land has
been nearly the same in both cases.
NOTES.
Destroy all the old, dried-up, de-
cayed fruits that are clinging to the
trees. They are full of spores that
will infect the trees and fruit again
next spring if not destroyed.
Thebest time to have cows calve is
In October and November, as they will
then give the largest flow when prices
for. milk products are highest, and
they are nearly dry when hot weather
comes. To calve at this time cows
must be bred between December 20
and February 20.
When fed -alone to young pigs, corn
produces relatively slow gains at a
high feed cost. Supplemental protein
feeds will make faster gains at a low-
er feed requirement per unit of gain.
While corn is the chief feed for fat -
feting hogs, it is deficient in protele
and mineral matter necessary for
growing animals. A food rich in pro-
tein and ,minerals when fed with corn
is therefore highly beneficial.

All of the straw and leaves, coarse
manure and other rubbish on emr• farm
can be used to good advantage for
mulching,
The mulch is of value chiefly in pro-
tecting the surface soil, keeping it
from packing under the weight of
snows or heavy packing rains, The
mulch also prevents heaving as a re-
sult of thawing and freezing. it
protects the crowns and roots, adds
fertility and sometimes retards bud-
ding out in the spring. This may
be desirable when there are late
frosts.
Coarse barnyard manure makes
most excellent mulch, and it acts
as a protection to the soil and fur-
nishes humus and plant food. It is
beer not to cover the crowns of plants
with strong barnyard manure, as it
may be injurious.
When plants are mulched it is ad-
visable generally to leave the material
on the surface soil till spring, when
it may be dug into the soil and mix-
ed, or if too coarse, removed.

her life she will be a good cow when

overfed for years will have become
"burned out" by tbe time she is 10

never been fed to bring her up to her
highest capacity for milk giving will
have fixed her habits of milk produc-
tion at a low point and will 'not be
valuable as an old cow. She will,

CIO (7T IS HEREDITARY.
There is no doubt that some people
are much more liable than others to
attacks of gout, and it is equally es-
tablished that it is, to a large extent,
an hereditary disease -that is to say
--that it runs in families. At the same
time cases are constantly occurring
where no family history of the disease
is obtainable, and, it must not be for-
gotten that not only diseases, but hab-
its of life leading to disease also to
some extent run in families.
Traditionally' gout is regarded and
commonly spoken of as a result of
high living and excessive alcohol
drinking. Since cases by no means in-
frequently occur which can be ac-
eounted for by neither of these causes
it would clearly be unfair to draw in-
ferences as to habits of life without*
further evidence than the presence of
this disease affords.
Still there is no getting away from
the fact that gout is much more com-
mon among those with little tendency
to restrict their libations and their ap-
petites than among those who lead a
simpler and more ascetic form of life.
And in those persons with a gouty ten-
dency it is commonly observed that a
fresh, attack is brought about by even
coMparativelymoderate indulgence
in the matter of alcohol.
But over and above these causes
there are many others contributory.
Thus sedentary habit, unhygienic do-
mestic surroundings, mental and phy-
sical Indolence, all tenet to bring about
a state of affairs which makes the in-
dividual peculiarly susceptible to an
attack of gout. Apioag the lean and
active gout is much less common than
among the ceniplimentary diyision of
mankind. •

If spools of different colored darn-

'hang on the back of a chair while
mending anew moments of hunting
will be saved.
A theee-arm towel rock fastened to
the right-hand end of the sewing ma-

If small casters are placed on the

chine it will be more easily moved,
and the worker will be apt to sit in a

When punching eyelets, place the
machine over a cake of white soap
and there will be a firm edge that

. TO GET WINTER EGGS.
The winter months are now on and
the problem of winter eggs and how
to get them is uppermost le the minds
of those who keep poultry. No one
realizes more than the commercial
Poultry raiser tho necessity of get-
ting good egs production from the
Hock, especially from now until
spring, The cost of feed and all other
things that go to make hen fruit are
higher now than ever before in the
history of the industry. Unless a
lair egg yield is obtained from the
flock anti good prices realized, the
ing pullets must have full feeds of
good grains and a mash to make
them develop and to make eggs.
One cannot get something from no-
thing, and to underfeed will mean
no eggs. This does not mean that the
Poultry man should waste feed, but
good judgment must be used with the
feed pail.
To purchase damaged grains and
low quality feeds is not good business.
In the first place, damaged grains anti
feeds will not produce the- same re-
sults rm high-class feed, although the
Purchaser must pay almost as much
as for the latter. Poor feeds are apt to
put the cock out of condition and this
will result in almost a total loss as
far as egg production is concerned.
The facts are each day being brought
before them by those who know, the
cheaper and proper feeds will come
with the new year, which will enable
the poultry -keeper to increase his
Bock without a loss. Even with the
present price of feeds, a balance can
be shown, small as it may seem in
comparison with former years, when
the flock will produce, and it. is from
the early hatched pullets that egg
yields must be looked for -and not
old hens. Not long ago Government
Poultry officiate advocated late hatch-
ed chickens, wrong advice for begin-
ners as far as winter egg production
is concerned, but the new bulletin
just issued, in its appeal for more
Poultry and eggs, advocates the early
hatching for winter eggs, good meet
and future breeding, which is known
to be the proper thing by those best
versed ne poultry -keeping. This
means that those pullets hatched at
the proper time in the pring and kept
steadily growing should by now be
sfrelling out hen fruit When the prices
are highest, and that the late hatched
pulleta and old hens will produce but.
a small ntimber of eggs until spring,
when the egg market as a rule is
lower. To place the balance on the
proper side or the ledger, the pellets
must lay from now on, feed well,
keep them free from lice, warm the
water in very cold weather, give them
telenty of green feed in form of
sprouted -oats, cabbage or beets,
charcoal, oyster shell and grit in
hoppers before them at all times, a
good clean litter for them to dig for
the grain fed in the morning and
evening -the evening feed being the
heaviest, as far as grain is concerned,
will give results if the pullets have
been properly grown, and are at the
right age.

EARLY PULLETS VS. OLD HENS
FOR EGGS.
For profitable early winter egg pro-
duction the early hatched pullet is
three times better than the late pul-
let, four times better than the yearl-
ing hen and thirty times, better than
the ','aged" hen.
Early pullets are best for winter
eggs. This has been demonstrated
many times. The Poultry Division,
Experimental Farm. has collected fig-
ures for several years, and when the
three months, November, December
and January, only are taken ineo con-
INsogriorrowerismo.
shierotion the relative profitahleneos
of the four ages is as noted above. If
the six winter mouths were considered
the contrast would not be so gluing
for the hens, and the late Millets were
fust beginning to lay when the ex-
periment closed. However, if eggs
alone tiro to he conalaered, we can-
not afford to feed birds until towards
spring before they produce. Even if
desired for breeding, it is a question
If, with tb.e high price of feed, we had
not better rely upon the well -matured
pullet for hatching eggs next spring,
rather than feed hens that will not
produce or only at a loss. Certainly
there is no excuse, whatever, for keep-
ing in Our poultry houses late pullete
Whose egge cost more than they are
worth, Dna birds that are absolutely
useless as breeders.
This summary is of results that ex-
tend over four years, anti are taken
from several of the farms of the sys-
tem, so that the figures will indicate
fairly well what may be expected for
then three months.
These figures show that early pullets
thatched. before May let), Produced
eggs at a cost for feed of 18.3 cents.
The late pullets thatched after May
15th), at a cost of 56 cents, The year-
old hens at a cost of 78.2 cents, and
for every dozen eggs laid by the hens
in the aged class the cost of feed was
$5.73.
Again these facts should be em-
phasized (1) that for profitable egg
production birds should lay before
February. (2) Early, well -matured
pullets are the only birds that may be
expected to do this. (3) Late pullets
as a rule will not pay to keep. (4) For
eggs, hens are not profitable, (6) If
we have a good flock of early pullets,
for the time being depend upon them
for breading, (6) It is a naticmal loss
to keep birds that eat a dollar's worth
of feed to produce fifty cents worth of
eggs.
NOTES.
Buy a quantity of potassium per-
manganate and put in a bottle of
water and always keep a quantity of
undissolved crystals in the bottom of
the bottle. Use this as a stock solution
and each day put in the -drinking
water enough to give the water a deep
wine color.
Burn all fowls dying from disease.
Isolate all birds showing the slight-
est sickness.
Colds are usually caused by over-
crowding the roosts at night, exposure
ofdraughts or -dampness, character-
ized, by watery eyes; sneezing and die -
charge from the nostrils. A simple re-
medy is to dip the heads of the fowls
in the following solution: Alcohol, 50
Per cent.; water, ?A per cent.; bowie
acid, 4 per cent.; glycerine, 10 per cent
Glycerine and alcohol have advanced

Lorraine, or simply as the Reichsland,
The separate histories of Alsace and
Lorraine stretch far back into the be-
ginnings ot things in Europe. Tbe
whole region, especially Alsace, was
tanays disputed territory, and in ante
lent times, often tom med the battle-
ground in the contentions of rival
races. To trace, therefore, the his-
tory of the two provinces through all
the mazes of medieval European his-
tory would call for much more space
than is now avallabl.e . Suffice it to
say that they both belonged to that
loose confederation of states known as
the Empire, and, from time tenth con-
tuly onwards, wme governed by vay-
toils sovereigns. dukes or princes, un -
del Germanic suzerainty, chiefly that

The modern history of Alsace-Lor-
raine may be said to date from the
'famous; peace of Westphalia, which
concluded the thirty years' war. By
that treaty a large part of Alsace was
ceded to France; but Louis XIV. had
set his heart on securing much more
of it. In those days, when territory
changed hands rapidly, it was never
difficult for a eounttry to set up plaus-
ible claims to adjoining lands, and
Louis XIV., shortly after the peace of
'Westphalia, turned his attention to Al -
sac° to see what could be done in this
respect. It did not take him long, as
mien be sup -posed, to discover much
te his "righteous iudignation" that
ierge tracts of surrounding territory
had been, "torn from Alsace," or to
decide that they should most certainly
be restored to that country by the
various German princes who were in
Posseseion . With much show of judic-
ial tairness, the gratel monarque laid
the case for. France before two cham-
bers of inquiry, which he established
at Brisach and Metz, but the result
was a foregone conclusion. In vain
the princes appealed to the Emperor.
The Emperor could- afford them no
aid and in 1681 French troops seized

Patron Saint
of Paris I
iffoncierful Work of St. Genevieve
When Franks Beat the Huns.
Among the Preach who have had so
many wonderful heroines among their
women, Joan of Arc is perhaps most
widely known, but the patron saint of
Paris, Genevieve, is a no less beauti-
ful character. Like Joan of Arc, he,
too, Was a Peasant's daughter, but she
lived nearly a thousand years before,
when the world was far less civilized.
But her death was a happy one, for
the people she had helped were her
friends, whereas, Joan of Are met her
death in the flames to which the
English condemned her, friendless ex-
cept for her own people far away,
St. Genevieve lived in the fifteenth.,
eentury.in those days the Roman Eine
Pire had just about crumbled to
pieces and 'the province was overrun
by one horde of Invaders after an-
other. Among those was Attila, wno
had killed thousands and set fire tO
many cities in the belief that he was
appointed by. God to punish the peo-
ple of Europe. It was while he was
bearing dawn on Paris, and the in-
habitants, paralyzed with the fear of
his terrible name, were getting ready
to flee, that St. Genevieve bravely
Persuaded them to remain and send
their soldiers out ot meet him. .The
result was that not only the soldiers
of Paris but of a large part of France
and other countries met Attila the
Hun at Chalons, and in one of the
bloodiest battles of ancient times
terribly defeated him. If it had been
a victory for Attila, Europe might
have had e far different history.
Later, too, when the Franks, anoth-
er Invading nation, descended upon'
Parie and besieged it, St. Genevieve
secured relief for her city by risking
a journey down the Seine river, in
danger ot her life; and implored peo-
ple in other cities to sena food to the
starving Parisians.
Her good fortune in avoiding traps
and dangers led to great respect for
her by invading Franks, who thought
her a supernatural character. Finally
the Franks succeeded in capturing
Paris, it was time real beginning of
the present French nation, but then
It seemed a terrible misfortune to the
poor inhabitants, St. Genevieve was
not in the city, and she was orderell

and. confronted the terrible chief of
the Franks, who yielded to his fears
of her as a woman of God, and did not
slaughter or ensleve the inhabitant;
of the city, as was customary in those
days. When St. Genevieve died she
was surrounded by the people of her
city, whom she had befriended, and
she was further made happy that the
conquerors had been converted to
