POWER FROM BROOK DAM.
Expert Urge Farmers to Store Up
. Water For Various Uses.
By EDWARD R. TAYLOR,
Mr. Farmer,, what nre you doing
with the brook ou your furm? Let
ting it hare Its own sweet wuy in a
hurry (and sometimes In a great hur
ry) to get its waters into yonder
river? Why not curb it and make
good use of it as it passes? John T.
McDonald of Delhi, N.. Y., some ten
years ago began making good use of
bia brook lights his house and build
ings, runs saws and various machines
In a little shop in winter and on rainy
days and has enough power in addi
tion to heat his house if he fitted up
for it Why don't you do likewise?
The dam is made from stones and earth
from the nearby fields, costs but little,
securing a pond of about three acres
which abounds in beautiful trout nnd
other fish, and from the pond Mr. Mc
Donald cuts 50O tons of Ice per year
lor himself and neighbors.
It is really the most valuable land
he has. Did you know if you have the
only pond on your stream all the lar
gest fish will make it their habitation,
and if you make a spillway in con
nection with your dam large fish from
below will come up and settle In your
pond, and you and your boys and girls
will go fishing there for the profit as
well as for the fun of It? Multe a
safe place and teach the children to
swim. Besides, it is stimulating nnd
grateful in summer weather.
I almost think you are really Inter
ested, and perhaps nre thinking now
where you have the best she for the
dam. Begin the work fiy laying down
sewer pipe two or more feet In diam
eter and twenty, thirty or more feet
long, according to the size of embank
ment you must build. This can be in
the bed of the stream, diverting tho
water for the time by a little dam
above. On the upstream end of this
pipe build a square box of plank as
high ns you wish the water to be in
(he pond It will take nwny lots of
water safely In floods. Near Its bot
tom on the upstream side nx a gate
of plank which you can open to
drain the pond In summer for repairs.
If you put a grating made, say, of
old strips of wagon tire in front of
the gate It will keep back nil the fish
that are too large to go through. Tlila
nil done In good shape, you can let
the water run through the pipe while
you are building your dnni proper.
At the right of the spillway of
Charles M. Call's dam near my home
is a square box connecting with (he
' FOR CHURNING RESISTS.
Careful Heating of Churning RObm and
Cleanliness Necessary.
There can be do definite rule laid
down as to the temperature at wblcb
the cream should be churned, as dif
ferent creams require different tem-
peratures. The fat is In the form of
microscopic globules, and they mast
have a certain degree of softness if
they are to unite. When the cream
enters the churn that is properly rip
ened and contains 26 to 30 per cent
fat- the temperature should be such
that the cream will churn in thirty to
forty-five minutes. This will give 'an
exhaustive churning and leave the
butter in a condition In wblcb' It cat
be easily handled without Injuring tbt
texture.
Before putting the cream in the
churn the churn should be thoroughly
scalded and as thoroughly chilled with j
cold water. The advantage of this Is
that It will freshen the churn and fill
the pores In the wood so that the
cream nnd butter will not stick to it
The outside temperature of the churn
JUDGING A
GOOD HORSE
According to David Buffum. an ex
pert breeder of horses, the first thing
to learn In. the science of horseman
ship is the fine points of a good borse.
In Farm and Fireside be says thai the
most Important part of a horse and
the first thing to examine is the
horse's feet and legs, for if be Is defi
cient in this respect no superiority in
other points and no qualities in breed
ing or disposition can offset It. Tbe
best chair or table in tbe world Is use
less if it has only three or two legs.
For these points tbe feet of the
borse should be symmetrical, neither
too deep nor too flat, but if failing In
either respect they had better ba too

Some Huge Specimens That Weighed
Two Pounds Each.
The cm Ions shown iu the illustration
are the Bermuda or Giant Gibraltar
species.' They were grown on Long
Island, New York, and weigh two
pounds each. Twenty-eight of them
make a bushel. They were raised
from Gibraltar seed and matured, in
the open. The onions are so large
that one of them fills a qunrt basket
and more, and they ran 1,035 bushels
to the acre.
The cost of raising an acre of onions
Is something which is not an easy
thing to get at and varies with every
onion raiser on every acre every year
Quality of Butter.
The quality of butter depends to a
great degree upon the food and drink
of the cow. She should have clean,
pure water and wholesome food. Much
care should be takeu in the selection
of the ration. The Individual cow bus
much to do iu this regard. But with
respect to the part that is played In
handling the product of the cow too
much carelessness Is evident in tbe
processes f buttermaklng. After
churning Is finished the butter and
milk mixture should remain quiet for
about ten minutes iu order to let the
butter come to the surface. A cup of
'old water will hasten the process.
An old riiipe says: The butter should
then be carefully skimmed off Into a
wooden bowl half full of water. The
wuter should be repeatedly changed
until It shows no Indication of uiilUI
tiess. It is important that the butter
should not be pressed or worked dur
iug the process of removing the milk
from the butter. After this (he butter
may be pressed Into u mass and salt
to the extent of one-fortieth Its weight
worked Into it. The water should be
well pressed nut. but tbe less worked
the more perfectly Its granular charac
ter Is maintained.
If butter is pressed firmly Into earth
en jars or wooden firkins and kept at
a temperature of CU or uegrees u

Ing room should be as nearly as possi
ble the same as the churning tempera
ture. If it is warm the cream will
warm up rapidly, and the butter will
likely be soft and will require more
washing to remove tho buttermilk. It
is useless to lower the cream rapidly
to the churning point lust before
churning. It should be there at least
(wo hours before churning. The rea
son for this is that fat is a slow con'
ductor of heat, and. although tbe sc
rum has cooled and the thermometer
reads the right temperature, the fal

results would be the same as if churn

Milo Maize For Horses.
The farmer who plants a good acre
ago of mllo has practically insured for
himself a good supply of grain for bis
work teams. Horses and mules have
stood bnrd work well all summer, such
as breaking prairie, with no grain but
mllo. Horses doing heavy farm work
should be glveu three good feeds of
mllo grain a day. Mllo in tbe head is
usually fed, one-half more bends being
given at a feed than would be given
ears of com. Most teamsters prefer
to feed mllo in the head to borses, cut
ting the main stem off close to the
head. The main stem of the bead and
tho thany littlo stems that hold the
seeds force the horses to do a large I
amount of chewing before the feed can
be swallowed, and this mastication
grinds tbe grain and mixes It with
the saliva, greatly increasing the pro
portion digested.
Tho seeds of mllo are small, ai.d
where the thrashed seed is fed to
horses it Is chewed very little, and
much of the seed passes through un
digested. Feeding mllo in the head
saves all expense of preparation, and
the small stems of the head eaten with
the grain seem to aid In diluting tbe
grain In the stomach, making it more
digestible.

Taking Car ef Foals.
The advantages of the spring foal
are that this 1 a natural breeding
season, the foal are usually stronger,
they can eiid a greater proportion of
their early life outdoors and will be
less trouble than the fall colts. Id
any case, colts should not be allowed
to run with tbe mare when at work.
In the fall they may be left in box
stalls. If spring colt they should be
left in the yard or paddock, prefera
bly a grass plot and allowed to be
with the marcs only when tbe latter
are brought la for feeding during the

deep thnu too fiat. It may often hap
pen that on soft and level country
roads u flat foot may not occasion
much trouble, but It is bad on bnrd
roads or In cities and is In all cases a
defect Iu conformation.
The limbs should be clean that Is,
free from fleshiness but have plenty
of bone and su list a nee. The fore legs
should be -elatively short from tbe
fetlock Joint up to the knee and long
from the knee op to the horse's body.
This Is a very Important point, as no
borse was ever good for much on the
road whose knees were too high up.
The hind legs should be flat as well
us clean. This excessive cleanness
goes with highly bred horses and la to
be Insisted ou In all horses that prop
erly belong iu that class, such as thor
oughbreds, trotters, hackneys, etc. In
colder blooded horses we should de
maud ut least a reasonable approach
to It. Tbe gambrel Joint should be
strong nnd well developed, uenr slen
der or "dandified," and it is ulso desir
able to have it relatively near the
ground, though tbls is not as impor
tant ns the positlou of the fore knee.
The horse should stand square on
his legs wllh his feet well under him,
and his hoofs should be straight fore
and aft, neither toeing in nor toeing
out.
For the body of tbe borse the buck
should be short.
The bind quarters should be well
developed, with the hip joints well
forward. The rump should not be
straight, but rather straight than
drooping that is, the line from the
top of the hips to the root of the tail
should be only moderately oblique.
The shoulders should be slanting, not
uptight, and the withers reasonably
high. ibis conformation makes a
strong as well as eleguut shoulder.
The body should be nicely rounded,
neither gaunt nor "potbellied," and
should be ribbed well up toward the
hips.
The chest should be deep rather than
wide, giving large lung capacity.
The ueck should be free from undue
fleshiness, it may be either long or
short, as far as utility is concerned,
the long, of course, being much more
elegant and therefore to be preferred
on well bred borses. In either case
it should be bent a little Just before
the point where It joins the bead, so
as to give (he conformation that we
call "clean cut in the throttle," a
structure (hat gives the breathlug ap
paratus free play.
The Head In well bred horses should
be small and almost as clean and bony
as the limbs. The face line viewed
from the side should be straight, uot
aquiline. The forehead should be flat
between the eyes. The eyes should be
of medium size, set well apart from
each other utid not too near tile top of
the head, and the bead when viewed
from the front should slnnt in a little
from the eyes upward. The ears
should be fine, thin and pointed and
of medium length, and they should be
so set ou that when pointed forward
they nre parallel, not slanting apart.
These points of equine perfection
are ubsolute, and therefore they apply
to all kinds' of horses. Id Judging
horses of different types the difference
must be In the application, not In tbe
standard Itself, for a good horse must
tie homogeneous Iu bis makeup, every
part In harmony with other parts, and
every part must have such modifica
tion and proportion as conduce to that
end.

THE SKUNK CABBAGE.
Botanists seem agreed that a dis
tinct purpose is served in natures
economy in the foul odor which char
acterizes the carrion fungus, or skunk
cabbage. The stalk of this variety of
fungus is hollow, nnd on its top is
borne a wrinkled cap perforated in the
middle by nn opening. The surface of
the cap is coveted with a slimy green-Ish-blaek
mass of spores and mucilage,
various flies and burying beetles, de
ceived bv this odor, are attracted to
it iu Ike supposition that it is decay
ing animal matter. Alighting, men
feet become smeared with spores and
mnellace. which they carry away und
distribute, getting nothing for their
pains. A Brazilian relative or tne
stliikhorn. besides practicing the de
ceits mentioned, has a couspicuous
white veil hanging down from the cap,
which travelers say Is slightly phos
phorescent at night, which causes noc
turnal insects to be drawn to it.

IT'S YOCB KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake The Cause of Your
Trouble. Delay May Prove
Fatal.
Does your back ache? Do you get up
lame in the morning? Do you feel dull
and tired? Does it hurt you to bend
over, to lift anything, to get up from
a chair? Do you have sudden "catches"
or stitches of pain in the back Does
a dull, throbbing ache settle in the
small of your back and bother you day
and night? Do you sometimes feel that
you simply cannot straighten up? You
cannot make any mistake by treating
the kidneys at once, for it is these
small troubles that lead to dropsy, dia
betes and Bright' disease. If there is
any doubt in your mind that the kid
neys are affected, notice the urine for
a few days. If passages are irregular,
painful, or too scanty, discolored or
full of sediment, the kidneys need
help right away, and there is no other
medicine more helpful than Doan's

and watered with artesian well water.
Miss Turner came into possession of s
small furm by the death of her fatbei
a year ago. She was at a loss to know
what to do frith the old home und bet

an onion grower all by herself. She

Half th Car In Some State Are
Owned by Farmer.
Recently, at tbe automobile school
opening exercises In New York city. J.
George Frederick, managing editor ol
Printers' Ink, delivered a most Inter
esting lecture on the modern use of
automobiles on tbe farm, illustrated
by many stereopticon pictures.
Mr. Frederick first traced tbe rea
sons for tbe greater wealth of the
farmer through scientific farming and
tbe use of good machinery and showed
tbe natural conuectiou between tbe
use of machinery and tbe auto by
farmers. Ho told bow by authoritative
estimate there were now 70.000 autos
In use on farms about one-fourth of
all in use aud bow on dealer In as
Oregon town of 0,000 population sold
forty-two in one season. Ue said that
of tbe 4,610 autos registered at a re
cent date lu K tunas half of tbem were
owned by farmers aud that out of
10,000 auto owned hi Iowa one-balf
were owned by farmers.
Taking np tbe question of bow the
farmer find tbe auto profitable. Mr.
Frederick told of th great belp autos
are to tbe dairy farmers In delivering
milk quickly and without disturbing
th value of tbe farm borse during
tb busy farming season. II also
pointed out bow tb delivery of milk
by anto to railway stations bas greatly
widened tb area of farm land in
which it Is profitable to engag in tb
milk business.
Th recreation ski of tb auto on
tb farm was most effectively Illus
trated by Mr. Frederick's picture.
