Temporary Unfitness Should Be Dis tinguished From Permanent Un soundness Somo of Common Faults and Blemishes. (By II. II. REESE.) Selection of n horse must be based primarily on a thorough, systematic examination; the examination should be based on n clear knowledge of de sirable nnd undesirable qualities. Not only the presence of unsoundness but also the condition or seriousness of the unsoundness should be noted. Temporary unfitness should be distin guished from permanent unsoundness. Shoulders Lacking In Depth and In Good Seat for a Collar. A hurried examination Is likely to i prove a disappointment. Observe blemishes, vice, faulty conformation, unsoundness and general characteris tics. Common blemishes nre scars from old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe bolls and small ruptures. Com mon vices are halter pulling, cribbing, kicking, stall walking, weaving, and biting. Common faults of conforma tion are straight shoulders, crooked, weak or Improperly set legs, ewe neck, long, weak back and drooping croup. Common unsoundness are splints, thoroughpln, spavin, curb, extreme fistula, ringbone, side bones, extreme atrophy of muscles, contracted ten dons nnd broken wind. General char acteristics Include fleshing, tempera ment, quality, color, nnd age. In final selection, look for tho good qualities and weigh them against the defects. Enlargements or scars (duo to de formity, unusunl mishap, or uncom mon dlseuse) not conforming to nny of those discussed should cause a horse to bo rejected unless the nature of the cause and the detriment to tho value and usefulness of the animal is self-evident. Experience gained by examining largo numbers of horses will nld in quickening thp eye nnd Judgment, thereby making it possible to perceive readily any unusunl condi tion, but it should be remembered that a hurried examination is liable to prove a disappointment, consequently plenty of time should bo taken In making the examination, because time is much cheaper than money tied up in an unsatisfactory horse. If pos sible, get a history of the animal, and while you nre nbout It, get a history of the person having It for sale. So many defects may be covered up by such unfair methods as drugging that it is a good plan to make purchases only from those with good reputa tions. Horses offered at auction sales should be thoroughly examined pre vious to their being brought Into the ring, or else they should be tried out in compliance with the rules of tho sale before time for settlement. It is well not to form the habit of seeing only tho defects, for horses, like people, are seldom perfect, conse quently in Judging them weigh the good qualities against the bad. A horse should bo valued by the amount of service he will perform rather than by his minor shortcomings. CAUSE OF SCOURS IN CALVES Avoid Irregular Feeding and Dirty Milk or Palls Best to Separate Affected Animal. Scours In calves are caused by Ir regular feeding, overfeeding, sudden change of feed, fermented feeds, feed ing dirty or sour milk or milk of dis eased cows, the use of dirty milk palls or feed boxes, nnd damp, dirty stables. As soon as scours nre discovered It Is best to separate tho nffected calf from the others nnd carefully disinfect the pen. FEED CALF SEPARATED MILK This May Be Done Where Animals Are Especially Strong at Birth Make Change Gradually. Calves especially strong nt birth mny be put on separated milk entirely at two weeks of age, but this should not be nttempted with weak ones. Until the calf is in vigorous nnd thrifty con dition no attempt should bo made to change to scpnrnted milk. This chrngo should always' be made gradually. LATE POTATO BLIGHT SPRAY Work Should Begin as Soon as Plant Arc Six Inches High and Continue , at Intervals. The weather conditions which favor the spread of lute potato blight are a humid, still atmosphere with a tern- pernturo around 7!J degrees P. Above 78 P. and below CO P. there; is prao- ! tlcally no germination of the blight ' spores. Since spraying for late blight is a preventive rainer man a cuniuvu measure, spraying should begin as soon as the plants arc six Inches high and should continue nt Intervals of one or two weeks, depending upon weather conditions until near the time of ma turity. Tho effectiveness of spraying as a preventive depends upon the thorough ness with which it Is done. It is essen tial that tho whole plant bo kept con stantly covered with the mixture If the blight spores are to be prevented from finding a plnce of entrance Into its surface. The wheels of the sprayer do not seem to Injure tho vines sufllclently to be a source of apprehension, even when they are large and cover the ground, as Is often the case late In the season. ESTIMATE OF DAY'S PLOWING Time Required to Plow an Acre De. pends on Size of Plow and Num ber of Horses Used. Farmers frequently want to know how much land can be plowed In a day and how much work it requires to break an acre. Records nt the Missouri College of Agriculture on 2,V1'1 ucres of land show that It required 0.4 hours of man labor and 0.3 hours of horse labor for each acre. Of courso, the time re quired to plow an acre will depend on the size of the plow and the number of horses used. A four-horse gang plow with two 12-inch bottoms will av erage about 4.12 acres n day of 0.0 hours when It Is runnlug six Inches deep. Tho same plow running eight Inches deep will break a quarter of an acre less. A three-horse sulky with a 14 or 10-lnch bottom will average nbout 2.5 acres at a six-Inch depth, nnd nbout .2 acre less for the eight Inch depth. A two-horse 14-inch walk ing plow will break about 1.75 acres a day at a six-Inch depth nnd about .'! acre less at the elghtluch depth. GOOD RACK FOR IMPLEMENTS Device Shown In Illustration Keeps Tools Together and Saves Gar dener Much Time. To have the tools within reach makes for economy of time in putting In odd moments In the garden. Tools have n way of scattering and hiding when wanted most. A tool rnck as Il lustrated, plnced In a handy place, keeps the tools together. Such a rnck Garden Tool Rack. Is merely a modification of a enrpen 1er's saw horse. Holes bored through the top hold the handles of tools and a board across the bottom is for the handles to rest on. PLAN TO FERTILIZE TUBERS UGe of Barnyard Manure and Acid Phosphate Recommended as Ideal by Ohio Station. Selection of n good clover sod where potatoes have not grown for nt least five years, and the use of barnyard manure with aeld phosphate are given by the Ohio experiment station as Ideal conditions for fertilizing pota toes. After 23 years Investigations with this crop the experiment station advises farmers to plow under 1- to 10 tons of manure per acre If plenty is available, nnd then to apply about 300 pounds of acid phosphate per acre as a surface dressing. If munure is scarce four or five tons per acre mny be used, and then 400 pounds of acid phosphate along with 100 pounds of nl trate of soda will yield nbout tho same results. These experiments hnvo shown thut fertilizer should be spread over all the land and not confined to the potnto rows, for in tills way tho potato roots spread out more widely nnd succeeding crops make better use of whnt the potatoes leave. LOOK OUT FOR SQUASH BUGS Insects Attack Melon, Cucumber and Squash Vines When Plants Are Small Use Netting. Look out for the yellow striped squashbugs that uttack melon, cucum ber nnd squnsh vines when the plants arc small. The best preventive is to put a mosquito-netting tent over each hill, using two little sticks us supports, and covering the edges with soil to hold the netting In plnce. Erect theso tents as soon as the plants ooino through the ground, or sooner, and leave them In place until tho vIju'k be gin to push for room. Then 6tt fie , netting for future use.

"Always drag a little earth townrds the center of the road until it is raised from 10 to 12 Inches nbovo tho edges of the traveled way. "If tho drag cuts too much, shortcu tne hitch. "Tho best results for dragging are obtained only by repented applica tion." VOLUNTEER FOR GOOD ROADS We Can Have Anything Good If We Will Get Together and Work Hard for Desired End. Why, bad roads, tiven, Is u moral question. Why should men wndo In mud nnd punish their bensts when they have tho power to prevent It? It is moral in that wo fall to use to advnntngo tho powers and possibili ties that God has given us, writes It. F. Beasley In Progressive Farmer. Wo can hnvo good roads If wo will. Wo can hnvo any good thing if we will communities nctlng together. Half n dozen men could volunteer to delegnto themselves as leaders In a good roads movement nnd tho peoplo soon would follow them. A million volunteers will rush to arms to shoot down a million others who huvo done them no harm; why should not somo volunteer to bo lend ers in tho romances of peace nnd progress?
