A TEST FOR COLORS

Before making colored nlatcrials in-

to house dresses, clllldreli’s clothing or garnlc-nts requiring milcil launder- ing and receiving much liaril wear, they should be tested for fantlicss to washing and io light.

To 'lest to I~‘astliess to Wnshilig.~-

If the color in solid or tllere is little or no wllltc. the sample should be plalted wiili ll strip of white lliatcrial. Make s strong soap solution. Ileat this ulltll it is warm, but not too hot. Rub and squeeze the materials in this for about tcu minutes. Rinse in cold water, let it lie in water fifteen minutes, wring out and dry. lf the color of thc material is not changed the water not colored and the strip of wlllte not stained, one may be reasonably sure that the color is fasti to washing. For a nlore severe test add some waslllng powder to the soap solution.

To Test for Fastlless to Light. -

Expose a piece of material ill a wet and dry condition, to the strong sun- ligllt for a week. This exposure is not long enough to iilsure absolute .f'astlless, but if the material does not show slglls of fading ill this length of tillle, it is pretty safe to use.-(.ol- orado Agricultural College. “

Methods of producing poor cream

for which a small price is paid are as follows: Milking with dirty hands, without brushing the udders or flanks; milking in unclean, badly ventilated stables: using milk pails and cream cans which have not been properly washed; uslllg a separator which .is washed only once a day or every other day; separating in the stables, or in a room where the ven- tilation is bad alid the odors strong; allowing cream to stand for some time wihout beilig cooled, and then ship- ping it ill the hot sun without the can being properly covered, says the Nor'- West Farmer.

SHEEP PASTURES

Tile results of all experiment in

feeding ewes, suckling lambs on rye nlid blue grass pastures with and without grain show tllat unless the ewes are to be sold with the lambs at weaning time it is not profitable to feed graill to the ewes suckling lamb.s oil good rye or blue grass pas- tures.

There proved to be little difference

in the efficiency of rye and blue grass as a pasture for ewes aucklillg lambs. When grain was fed to the ewes the blue grass was solliewhat superior, while oil the other hand, when neith- er lot received grain the rye proved slightly more efficient. Rye has the advantage of comillg earlier than blue grass, while blue grass has the ad- vantage of ai`l`ordlllg a good pasture longer.

THE MONEY WINNERS

Slxty~slx trotters and forty-two pac-

ers won money during the Grand Cir- cuit meetlng at Cleveland.

The figures are interesting to Canadian llorselllell as many of the horses race in Montreal this moutll.

thirteen horses durlllg the week, was the biggest money winllcr, his gross earnings being $5772.50: Pop Geers was second high. Walter Cox also started thirteen horses and while he only landed one dflrst, his earnings were $2,690.

trotter, getting $1,285 for winning the Ohio stake, wlllle Lou Jennings, the only double winner oi' the week, woll $1,260, the second biggest portion.

HORSES AND THE WAR

(‘. J. Fitzgerald, of Londoli. Ont..

writing ill thc New York Sun ex- presses tho opinion that if the war continues six months longer the horse breeding lndustry in the United States and Canada will have received a set- back that it will take years to over- come. Already very many thousands of mares of a class sadly needed st home have gone abroad.

Up to the present. lic continues.

mares and geldings have been taken without regard to the future of our

horse product, alld there is talk here ill Canada of a muvemcllt to confine the purchase of cavalry “remount" alld gun’ horses to geldings only., This section of Ontario, already fam- ous for the quality of its half-breed horses. has furnished thousands of the most desirable animals for use in the present war. Major-Geuaral Hughes stated publicly at a luncheon here on Wednesday last that the horses bought by Sir Adam Beck ill London and con- tiguous icrriiory were by far the best that had gone abroad. For many years superior thoroughbred horses that had won disthictlon on the race courses lu. different parts of the United States and ldllglund were brought to Canada zilld crossed with stnlldard bred trot- lllli: liiuri-s and other lustrous of a desirable type. Their progeny gave this country a supcrcllliliellt position ill thc ilorse-brecdlllg world.

The (falladlall half-bred, thorough-

brcd siri- and trotting dam, makes till- ideal cavalry rc-nlolllt. while for the lii'tii|vl'_v the thoroughbred sire muted with file llc-avicr type ni' mg;-9 gives added lmllc and bulk requisite for thc llulldllng uf' wclglit lil soft or lllursily ground. Time was when stul- llolls ui' a typo lleccssary to sire such lion-les could be had for a few hund- red dollars cacll ut ally race c0urse,but. the lllllclrallci-s i'roln which racing has sulfcrcil and till: coiisequellt curtail- lllellt uf the breeding interests have sadly thinned thc ranks of those who for many years regarded their occupa- tioll as most hcllorablc. As a conse- iillvllvc tllvri- is ll decided shortage of Ulf* iyllc of llorsl- Yollat describes as the be-st for this special purpose, the short cotlplcd, wcll ribbed, stout bod. lcd stallion with ills sloping shoulders and oblique pastcrlls.

Such all llldlvldual. with a good

te-lllpcr in back his other qualifications, ivnuld bi- a tlwlsllrc ill nlly community will-ri; tlllilkillg people having the wel. iiiri- of their cullutry at llcart indulge in limi lllost. engaging feature of rural iliir, th¢~ raisillg of good horses, The Ii`l'vll<-il and (li-rlllnll govcrlllnclitsliave for lllillly yours vlifd with ouch other ill lllc uxcl~ll<~|l¢-l- oi' their :lrlliy horses, and ihc lllallllel' ill which the artillery of lllc i`ol‘lllol° country has been handl- ed ulllve the collllllcilcelnent of hostili- ties has excited llle admiration ofthe wlil'|¢.l.

A gentleman wllo has just returned

from a trip through Kentucky, Ten. liosscc and other Southern States, ‘VUQFG be bbilflllt more than 2,200 horses for thc British government,ssys there wcrc lllally fine mares among them, Hn was only one buyer of many rf'-ilrcserliiilg the imperial government, and it is safe to conclude that in every portion of' the United Sti_1te§__t;lLere_wss no disc:-llnllill-afiull ill favor of mares. Waslllllgtoll, Oregon and Montana have furllislied their quota, as have Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Iliinois.

Should war come to the United Stat-

cs, adds Mr. Fitzgcralll, and in these trolllilnus times there is always a chance of lt. where would the autllorl- ties turn for all adequate supply of horses for military purposes? The breeding bureau of the Jockey Club has dolle something ill New York _Stafe._and some gentlemen prominent lil l‘l1CllliZ. August Belmollt. head of the Jockey (lluli, particularly, have given tllorougllbrcd stullions to Lhe govern- lllclltstilds,but thc supply of desirable rfmoullt and artillery horses is very limited.

It will become lnore so in both ille

llllitcd States and Canada, unless the sale lol' arllly purposes of all mares lllldcr ll vi-rtiiill nge, say seven years, is prolliblicd. ‘

li- Fl* li‘l*`iF.f THE TURF §

THE KICKING HORSE.

Nothing is more objectionable and

dangerous to have about the farm than ii klckillg horse, There is always the possibility oi' llljury being done to mall or beast. When one is faced with the necessity of curing :t horse of this habit tile lluisallce becomes more ap- parent. Kicking ill the stall is prob- ably the most common form, and it is just possible that if a cure can be effected ilcre the horse will remember the lesson while in llarllcss or at pas-ilul't». All Ellglisll farmer claims a .simple cure fur the habit of kicking ill tlic ntalllc. lic says:

“l flllod a stout sack with sand, and

lluug it from thc ceiling at the back ni' lllc stall, ucar cllougli to the horse so that his ilccls could reach it easily. 'l`|lll~i ‘pi-lldullllll' swung with clock-like prc<~i.~iloll ans slmll ns lilo horse began to lllukc play with his hoofs on it. At fill- first kick lilo bug swung away, only to ri-tiirli with more force, and giving the animal much lllore than hc scni. This ullcxpecled result caused thc llori-ic to kick out nlore viciously, but cucll time thc bag returned and repaid lllnl with llltcrcsi. Finally, the horse, rcalizillg that kic-kink only lliviillt more pulllsllme_nt, stopped. The bag was llilllg ill the same position for ii wcck, but he ncvcr troubled it a- galil."
