With his largo brain and largo heart, ho also

for tint man ni well as the horse.
Food is an hmiortant item in tlio treatment
of a horse, and herein mauy farmers mlstako
through execssivo economy. Tho farmer will
loio nothing by such a variety of rations, for
his horses will feci inspired to do mora work
in less time. There is doubtless such a thing
as feeding too high, and wearing out tho
animal machinery, with too rapid a circulation
of blood. There is u golden mean in this
thing. Tho food alio should bo adapted to
thu work. It would bu folly to think, of
driving liorscs fifty miles a day or of plowing
with tliem lay after day without a liberal al
lowance of grain, and for roadsters oats will
furnish mora inspiration than com. What
ever tho nature of their work, an occasional
feed of apples or roots will do them great
service.
One of tho greatest mistakes wo notico in
tho treatment of farm liorscs is tho want of
cleanliness and cood ventilation in their stalls.
The excrement of a horso ferments very
quickly, and emits volumosof strong ammonia.
so strong that if a man with a bushy beard
put Ins head into ttto averago farm stablo oi a
Sunday morning, bo carries tho scent of it to
church, and is an olTcnso to bis neighbors.
Ammonia is powerful tuff; it is the csienco
of "smelling salts" which are sometimes
strong enough to knock a man over, and it is
cruel to compel a horso to breathe an air
contaminated with it. Ammonia, in the
diluted form in which wo tinu It in horso
stables, does not, like somo of our cheap
whisky, kilt on tho first trial, bat engenders
disease, and tho wonder is that our horses are
not sick oftcner than they are. A Vcrmontcr
speaks of them as "ticklish property," by
which wo snpKso no means tnai tney are
liablo to diseaso aud death, but the horse in
his normal state has a strong constitution and
is long-lived. It is only when wo subject him
to abnormal and unhealthy conditions that he
becomes ticklish property, (livo him propor

largo Wheat Farm.
The largest cultivated wheat farm on tho
globo is said to bo tho Grondin Farm, not far
from tho town of Fargo, Dakota. It embraces
some -10,000 acres, both Government and rail
way land, ami lies clo-c to tho Kcd Ilivor.
Divided into four parts, it baa dwellings,
granaficr, machlno-chops, clovators, stables
for iOO horses, nnd loom for storing 1,000,000
bushels of grain. Besides tho wheat farm,
thcro Is a stock fnnn of '.'0,000 acres. In
seeding time, seventy to eighty men nro cm
ployed, and during harvest 'JM to WX1 inon.
Seeding begins about April ninth and con
tinues through thu mouth, nnd is done very
systematically, the machines following one
another around tho field, somo four rods apart.
Cutting begins about August eighth, and ends
tho fore part of September, succccdod by tho
threshing, with eight stcani-thrcslicrs. After
thrcshlne, the stubhlo t-round is plowed with
great plows, drawn by thrco homes nnd cut
ting two lurrows; ami tins goes on until the
weather is cold cnotieh to freeze, usually
about November first. Thcro nro many
other large farms in the Territory and in tho
samo neighborhood, and they aro tilled in
much the samo manner a thu Grondin. Tho
surface of tho land generally is almost level,
and tho soil rich and black. Tho product of
ono field of 'J.JIlfi acres is C7,i!8.'i bushels
elevator wcivtht somo twenty-five bushels to
the ncre. Iho nverae-o vicld of tho Dakota
wheat farm is from twenty to twenty-fivo
buihuls tier acre, nnd the concurring testimony
is mat it is uhcqualcii as n wheat region lu
tho world.
Mkihiinis Lam..- At least two of tho
lakes known ns tho "Four Likes" aro "Medl-
cino Laker." Most wondciful stories arc told
of their properties. A former well known
resident of this valley, L. Lafcver, has re
covered the uso of his nrm, which was badly
crippicu vy too rucumaiim, ny tlio use ol tne
waters of ono of tlio lakes, lion. D. F.
l'crcival, who at times lias been laid up with
inflammatory rheumatism, has been cured by
tho iio of the water. Sheep that nro scabby
nro completely rureil by n fow baths. A
depoiit on tho shore of tho lako is used instead
of soap by residents there, and is rctorted to
bo n splendid mibititutu. Any dirty, greasy
garment soaked in thu lako is speedily
rendered clean, nnd a wngon which bad been
(ilacrd in thu lako over night to toak, was
ound to havo ue.iilynll tlio paint off when
removed tho noxt day. Thu lakes are within
n mile or two of tlio lino of tho Northern
Pacillo Itnilrnad, and if one-tenth of what Is
claimed for them is true, thev will U-como a
famous wnter cure before mmy years. Walla
