f FEARLESS 
Manure Spreader 
Why put money In a wide, cumbersome, 
heavy manure spreader which distributes 
only tho width of its own box, when the 
“Fearless” spreader, built narrow and 
handy, covers a strip six and a half feet 
wide. 
The “Fearless” is tho most economical 
spreader built—saves time and horse power. 
Tracks with an ordinary farm wagon and 
passes any gate or bar-way without trouble. 
The “Fearless” circular beater shown be¬ 
low is tlie key to “Fearless” superiority. 
Its circular form makes It spread outside 
the wheels. That means more ground 
covered per load and no driving overspread 
manure. Investigate tho “Fkarless” 
spreader before you buy—it will pay you.

A POINT IN MULE BREEDING. 
On the first page of February 13 issue 
in article on “The Breeding of Mules,” 
“W. E. D.” says: “It is not likely 
that the owner of the excellent mare 
shown in Fig. 58 would care to breed 
her to a jack, for there seems to be 
a general impression that the first im¬ 
pregnations affect all subsequent ones, 
so that if a mare produces a mule 
foal and is subsequently bred Ito a 
stallion, the horse foals will have some 
mule-like characteristics. Such a belief 
is without foundation in fact.” Now, 
I never bred a mule in my life, but 
from my experience with sheep and 
dogs, know that a Merino ewe bred 
to a coarse ram, will, when afterwards 
bred to a Merino ram of undoubted 
purity of blood, produce lambs with pro¬ 
nounced coarse characteristics, and con¬ 
tinue to do so more than once, or, in 
other words, I have known a ewe to pro¬ 
duce coarse lambs twice in succession 
when bred to a pure Merino ram, and 
not having opportunity to see or come 
near a coarse ram except that she had 
been bred to the coarse ram before 
having been bred to the Merino. I 
had the same experience with a very 
nice terrier female, having had a litter 
of mongrel pups accidentally, her next 
two litters of pups showed mongrel 
decidedly, and not until the third lit¬ 
ter all by the same pure dog, did 
the pups run uniform and true to breed. 
Now, all young breeders should know 
these facts, and experienced breeders 
should be very careful in making such 
statements as “W. E. D.” makes off¬ 
hand. I doubt whether any Kentucky 
breeder of Thoroughbred race horses 
would buy the best bred mare on earth 
if he knew she had ever been bred 
to a jack. c. A. CHAPMAN.

LEG WEAKNESS IN CHICKS. 
What is the cause of “leg weakness” in 
incubator chicks, also preventives and 
cures? w. a. g. 
Oolte*vah, Tenn. 
There are two or three main causes 
of leg weakness in little chicks; one 
is too much bottom heat in the brood¬ 
ers. It will be noticed that chicks 
brooded by hens are very seldom af¬ 
flicted with leg weakness. If your 
brooders have any bottom heat, don’t 
use sand on the floor of the hover. 
Sand transmits heat very readily, and it 
is better to put straw or hay an inch 
deep or more in the hover part of the 
brooder, renewing it frequently. This 
keeps them up off the floor, and allows 
a little air to circulate under them. 
Bottom heat is not natural for chicks 
and they suffer less from “cold feet” 
than humans. Another thing that chicks 
suffer from is too much dryness. They 
need to scratch in damp earth, and 
to get their feet wet occasionally. I 
make a practice of throwing a pail¬ 
ful of damp earth 1 in each of the little 
yards every few days, and scatter seeds 
in it. The long white root that all 
seeds throw out before the green sprout 
appears, is greedily eaten by the chicks, 
and they will scratch from morning 
till night if they can continue to find 
them. Even little chicks need lime. I 
whitewashed the inside of my brood¬ 
ers, and 'the chicks picked the 
whitewash all off as high up as 
they could reach. Fine ground or gran¬ 
ulated bone will furnish the lime they 
need, and clam shells pounded up fine 
are good. I don’t like oyster shells; 
it is too flaky, with thin sharp edges. 
The clam shells break into square chunks 
and act as grit as well as lime supply. 
As the season is now on for raising 
little chicks I will add that about the 
best feed for the first five days is 
bread soaked in milk and squeezed dry 
as you can, and fed only in small quan¬ 
tities. Don’t think they are suffering 
from hunger because <they pick at things, 
or will eat greedily. The yolk inside 
of them is feed enough for four or 
five days, and that ought to be ab¬ 
sorbed before they are allowed to have 
all they can eat. After two or three 
days I use hard-boiled eggs chopped 
very fine and mixed with the bread. 
After they are a week or 10 days old 
you can feed them most anything, only 
don’t feed buckwheat or oats with the 
hulls on. GEO. A. COSGROVE.

The best material that can be bought enters into the coi

that dozens of them are selling more Anthony Fence than 
any other fence. In some cases selling more Anthony 
Fence than all other fences and in other cases selling 
Anthony Fence to the exclusion of all other fences. 
It doesn’t take an agent long to learn that Anthony 
Fence is easy to sell, and that selling a good ience . 
doesn’t drive his customers to competitors.
