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-

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'-

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

THE MONEY WINNERS
Slxty~slx trotters and forty-two pac-
ers won money during the Grand Cir-
cuit meetlng at Cleveland. The gener-
al splitting of the purses caused many

t_r9lt__in a nluch better frame ai' milld
than had all the money been shared
four ways in each race. 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.

wards stake, got more money out of
that event than the winner, his share
being $900.

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.

and oblique pastcrlls.

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-

rfmoullt and artillery horses is very
limited.
It will become lnore so in both ille
llllitcd States and Canada, unless the

 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."

GROOMING THE HORSE
