HACKNEY HORSE FOR
"
"International" English
(Hy J. H IIKI.L.)
The hackney is one of the best pay-
Iny horses that the southern farmer
can raise and he is Increasing In popu-
larity each year.
Tho numerous hotse shows now
held In tho South have given a great
Impetus to horse breeding.
There arc many things to be said
in favor of the hackney nnd there aro
Kuod reasons for his popularity as a
fbnrness horse; among them arc his
very stylish appearance high action
good slzo and tractnblllty. IlcBlde he
Is a good seller on the market.
The southern farmer Is n natural
torn lover of a good horse and tho
South has been the homo of the thor-
oughbred for probably two centuries.
It niny be snld uf the hackney that
he cr ses well with other breeds es-
pecially with tho trotter tho thorough-
bred or the draft horso. The hackney-
trotter cross Is ono of tho most useful
Diorses than can bo raised on the aver-
ago farm. Inheriting as they do from
SOY BEANS GAINING IN FAVOR
Choice of Variety Should Be Governed
by Purpose of Crop Black Beauty
Makes Good Hay.
(By J. C. HACKLDMAN. Missouri Ex-
periment Htutlon.)
Soy beans are rapidly gaining In
favor among tho furmcrs of Mis-
rourl ind In many partB of I) u state
are replacing cowpcas as a seed crop.
Tho fact that they can bo seeded
rnrller nro ensler harvested PBslcr
threshed and usuully outyield the cow-
peas explains In part this gain In
favor. Severn! varieties aro to be
recommended but the cholco of a
variety should bo governed by tho pur-
pose of tho crop. When grown for
hny such varieties as ebony or black
beauty medium yellow or mongol
Peking or sable and Austin will bo
found nmong tho best. Whero seed Is
wanted this list may be enlarged to
Include Mikado and Ilalbcrlandt. If

crop is wonted for pasture nnd green
innnurlng purposes tho mammoth yel-

The cross of tho hackney on the
thoroughbred has resulted in a good
park hack with bone substance and
st)le.
Tho cross of a hackney stallion on
draft mares should glva a heavy har-
ness or coach horse being careful to
breed to clean limbed well-shaped
mares of solid color also possessing
some degree of action.
Thero aro sections all over tho
South where natural conditions are
such that thu breeding of high-class
harness horses Is a most profltablo
pursuit to tho wide-awake energetic
farmer who Is not afraid to Invest his
money In lino bred stock for breed-

HARM BY PEACH-TREE BORER
Most Destructive of Numerous Insect
Pests That Attack Fruit Trees-
One Effective Remedy.
(Hy C. J. HAVni:.V. Mlsslsalppl i;xporl
mem Station.;
Tho eggs are deposited by tho adult
In spring nnd early summer on the
trunks of the trees. In time the r3
nre hatched and tho larvae begin
their work of destruction. None ol
the trees aro immuno from tho rav-
ages of this insect because this pest
has been widely disseminated there
being no section entirely free from
Its attack.
Tho only effective remedy that Is
recommended Is to ilg them out. Thle
work should be done In early w Intel
or some time before growth begins in
spring. Secure competent labor ex
ercising euro not to Injure tl" bark
any moro than necessary. Komovc
tho soil from around tho .trunk and
with n sharp knlfo or rasp scrapo ofl
the gummy exudntlon and cut out all
Injured tissue destroying the larvae
as they aro found.
Trees that are badly Infected should
be gone over several times onco In
early winter nnd again in spring. Af-
ter tho spring "worming" mound the
earth about tho trunks. This is much
cheaper and is to be recommended in
preference to tho wrapping of the
trees with pnper or painting witii some
coal lar preparation.
LET LAND ALONE WHEN WET
Specialists Believe Soil Is Injured by
Being Plowed When Too Moist-
Some Few Exceptions.
(Hy W. n. DODBON. Louisiana nxperl.
mont Stntlon.)
It Is generally believed by soli spe-
cialists thai soli Is very apt to be In-
jured by being plowed when It Is too
wet whether sunshine prevail after
tho plowing ..r not though the damage
Is greatly leisencd where rain follows
soon after the land1 Is plowed. Ex-
ceptions to this would be In sod land
with good deep od or land that Is
naturally Inclined to be excessively
porous. I am unable to give a satis-
factory physical explanation but I be-
lieve It Is generally conceded that land
that Is plowed wet will pack more
In a subsequent rain than If It had
not been stirred while wet. I think
under all ordinary circumstances It
would pay to let tho land alone when
It Is too wet to crumblo behind the
plow.
CARE OR FARM IMPLEMENTS
Considerable Portion of American
Farmer's Profits Eaten Up By Will-
ful Neglsct of Machinery.
It Is to be hoped that no farmer
put away his Implements last winter
without having cleaned and oiled them
thoroughly and that they ere now
well housed. The farm machinery
man at Clemsoo college states that a
considerable portion of the profits of
the American farmer is eaten up by
neglect of farm machinery. When gS-
Ing over a pl'tce of machinery note if
any parts are missing mark down the
names of these parts an tag and at-
tach th tags to tho places oa the ma-

FOX-HUNTERS IN THE WAR I
Thousands of Mtn Who Enjoyed That

Waterloo according to tho duko of
Wellington wns won on tho playing

triumphant from tho present conflict
wo may find someone rising to claim
that tho campaign in Flanders waa
won In the English shires. The shires
aro tho headquarters of fox-hunting
which most humnnltnrlans denounce.
Gcorgu llemnrd Shaw for example
has no words Btrong enough to con-
demn It with. Mr Jorrocks tho hero
of n sporting novel describing fox-
hunting its "war without its guilt und
only 2fi per cent of Its danger" It ban
to bo admitted however thnt they
who follow the hounds have nnswercd
magnlllcently to their country's call.
Thero are. It prows 1CU masters
of hounds with tho llrltlsh colors 3000
members of hunts and l.f.00 hunt serv-
ants. T.o them must be added tho of-
ficers of thn regular army who aro ac
customed to rlilo to hounds likuwlso
numbering' mime thousands. The total
Is an lmprrsslvu one. It suggents that
tho real attraction or this sport may
