The mother of that gelding was in .condition to -do light work every day until the colt was born. Again, after 2 weeks rest she -was-. able to do light work, if ordinary intelligence was used in care and feeding. It has been estimated by those in aAposi- tion to give an opinion that, includ- ingthe cost of a first-class sire, a colt can be {kept on the average farm un~ til three years old at a total cost of not more than one hundred dollars. Under such conditions,_ is not the rearing of a colt or two every season as protable as any branch `of farm- ing? . ' At the agricultural `shows through- out the- Dominion, `the `brood mares .in the lightclasses, as `a whole, are "inferior animals. In fact, many are ~u*nsoun'd with hereditary unsoundn_es- ses. How can any man, expect to raise valuable. horses from` such dams? Q Brood mares in the heavy classes, though not so near perfec- tion as theygshould be are of higher quality. If, `however, the farmer wishes to make money out of raising colts, he must be prepared to keep the best heavy mares on the farm. _ Of the four classes of horses-- idraft, carriage, road and saddle-I prefer the draft, remarked `W. `V F. Kydd of NorfolkvCo., an experienced horseman and competent judge, to a `representative of The Farmer's Ad- _vocate, recently.` The draft. horse is` most desirable as a money--maker. From the time he has reached the age of two and One-half years he can earn his feed, without `danger of in- jury, to his limbs. 'Then, supposing.` he `is marked from` one cause or oth- er, it does not detract much from i his `actual value. To the `average farmer, perhaps, a most important argument in favor of the heavy horse is that very little time is lost in breaking him in or in tting him for market, whereas, with light horses. much time is required in training and tting to catch._a desirable price. (`AA L` ' derive suicient prot therefrom to induce them to raxse more than one "colt each year,. and frequently none are found. In some `cases the dii- culty is lack of attention, or lack of knowledge as to ho-w to handle hor- ses, particularly lbrood mares . In oth- er "cases, however, the `disappoint- ment-lies in the fact that poor judg- ment `was used in the "class of. horses raised. V w- -j- ii .iGxA'sz:1*1`.

The carriages themselves - are usually slightly larger than those generally in use, and the horses are larger in proportion. The difference in size - between the royal horses` and those of otherapeople is "plainly apparent to any close observer at any big royal. procession. ~On_ those occasions the royal stables can'not_ supply all the horses required, and a . number of other horses are `jobbed for" theday.

If .not, there is an explanation ,why you-may have had poor success `Min getting winter eggs. Layingghens, particul- harly, are greedy for bone" and meat. foods. They seem to supply certain elements, probably phosphates and protein, tha.t- are especiallyneeded by the poultry constitution. Of -`course. a bone-grinder is .a great economy` of labor, where any considerable ock are kept, but many farmers and others who keep small ocks of poul- try do not have bone-grinders, and these could spend many a protable half hour in the poultry house pound- ing up bones with an axe or heavy hatchet. The writer has been using some sparerib bones of late, and it is simply astonishing to see, how eager the birds are for every scrap. lCroc~ `kery and stone chinaware also may be pounded up in this way to about the size of wheat grains, thus afford- ing the grit which to the chicken takes the place of our teeth. It will be noticed that the pullets which are most eager for thesetitbits, bone, grit, etc., will be the first to lay. This I may probably be explained on a dual V hypothesis. The bone, grit, etc., un- doubtedly hastens egg production; and, on the other hand, as a pullet .begins to engage in the. exacting function of egg-production, her sys- tem makes new and larger demands. `L A. ___L_ l_--,- _ _ _ . _ L___, i _ The Holy City." .
