Founded as tho breeding business In, ppon honor, it is -as s&fo to do business Sith tho roltablo breeder by mall as It through porsonal Interview. In handling business by mall, not enough lmportanco is attached to tho printed matter used by many breeders. In the first placo whoa an inquiry jeaches tho breeder ho replies by let ter. If tho Inquiry comes from a Btrangcr tho naturo of tho breeder's reply goes far to establish a first Im pression, and Tvith most peoplo first im pressions aro hard to efface. Tho paper npon which ft lottei is written goes far to fix on idea of tho personality of tho writer in tho mind of tho reader, and a neatly printed lcttor-hond upon H good quality of paper is tho first essential of good salesmanship by mall. Tho writor has frequently had tho by people who havo wrltton to brooders, nnd ono particularly striking instanco will servo to illustrato my point. A man who was improving and stocking a high-class stock farm onco asked tho writer what kind of stock Mr, rrabject of good lottorhcads mentioned I eollent herd. had in his herd. I replied that his herd sires wcro among tho best of tho breed, and that tho females in tho herd had won frequently at our fairs. Ho said that ho had intended to purchaso his foundation stock from this man, and had written him for prices and pedi grees, but that tho reply was wrltton very badly on n sheet of common rough newspaper tablet paper, and ho had de cided that n man who did not display moro judgment in' his correspondence was not likely to display any great amount of judgment In breeding. As a result tho breeder lost n good sale, n salo which had boon developed by hlra through his advertising, and a salo to which ho was entitled on tho merits of his stock, for ho really had an ex- FEEDING INTELLIGENTLY. '1113 AVllltAQE farmer can learn a valuable lesson in horso feeding from tho racc-horso man, bclioves 0. W. McCampbcll, nsslstant professor of animal husbandry at tho Kansas 6tato Agricultural College. Tho success ful trainer knows that too much rough ago is extremely hard on tho wind and endnranco of a horso. If it pays tho owner of a raeo horso to feed for the greatest posslblo wind nnd endurance, it will also bo worth tho while of tho farmer to use caro in feeding his work Lorses. "Tho farmer who knows how to get Iho most efficient service from his horses," explained Doctor McCamp bell, "will increase tho amount of gmln used in tho ration, as tho work is increased; but he will not increase tho hay part of tho feed, beeaue ho knows that a horso cannot do its best work Tfhon overloaded with rough feed. An overloaded digestive apparatus inter feres materially with respiration. Horses doing very hard work should not havo moro than ten or twelvo pounds of bay for each thousand pounds of live weight. About one-third of tho hay should be fed In tho morning, only a little should bo given at noon, and the rest should bo fed nt night," It pays to know the comparative feeding value of different feeds, so that ono can chooso a ration that is ceo nomical and at tho samo time meets HOTEL ACKLY Cor. 12th and EUrlc St.. rortland.

Tralrle, timothy, cane, knfir, corn and small grain hays havo approximately tho samo feeding value, according to Doctor McCampbcll. Alfalfa, clover, sweet clover and cow pea hays havo similar feeding values, al though alfalfa is slightly tho richest of tho group. This second group should be considered moro ns concentrates than as roughage, ho believes, becauso of high protein content nnd tho caso with which they nro digested. Dr. McCampbcll appreciates oats as a much moro satisfactory feed than corn or barley. Ho recommends that only about fivo pounds of alfalfa hay bo fed daily for ovcry thousand pounds of live weight. "In feeding nlfalfn remember that it is moro of a conccntrnto than a rough age, ono pound containing 35 per cent moro dlgestiblo protein thnn docs ono pound of shelled corn; nnd thnt tho feeding of excessivo amounts of pro toin is ono of tho principal causes of all kinds of digestivo and urinary troublos. For tho best results, alfalfa hay that is to bo fed to horses should bo pretty maturo whon cut. This hay should never bo fed without some other roughage, such as cane, or straw, or prairlo ha v." TREATTNO THE rEET. GOOD and bad feet aro largely in herited in horses, yet vory ofton good feet are ruined by bad treat ment, writes J. L. Buchanan in tho Nationnl Stockman. If eolU nro foaled with crooked feet and especially if tho hind feet turn over sulcwnys you can soon remedy this trouble by keeping inside of bottom of foot rasped down and too cut back a little, leaving the outsldo alone. A few trimmings will mako tho foot straight. Thus every pro ducer of horses should bo tho ownor of a good horseshocr's rasp and uso it when needed. While horses are going without shoes a good rasp should bo kept closo at hand so all irregularities of feet may be kept rasped off. Tho feet of horses allowed to stand too long on a dry, hard floor or on a pilo of heated ma nure aro apt to get too dry and hard, in which easo I should recommend a little fish oil rubbed on tho upper edgo of tho hoof just at tho edgo of tbo hair, not over the shell of tho hoof, because it would shut the air and moisturo out. If put on at junction of hoof and hair tho hoof will take up tho oil, and it will help to grow and toughen tho hoof. I havo known horses to stand on hot manuro until it burnt all of tho lower part of tho hoof out. It is a splendid idea to keep horses on the ground all you can. Continuous shoeing is ruinous to any horse's feet unless frequently changed. I know of horses allowed to carry their shoes for ' threo months, and some until they aro Worn off. No wonder so many horses' feet aro ruined. We frequently see colts shut in stables for all winter and no attention paid to their feet, and by spring their hoofs are two or three and 'even four inches too long and pasterns sprung back and toes turneu up until you would declaro that both feot and pasterns were ruined. Yet when prop erly trimmed and turned out to pas ture they soon come nil right. lllaoksmiths often damage a horse's foot by holding red hot shoes too long at ono place and by making shoes too short and narrow, producing contracted hoofs, corns, sldo bones, otc Black smiths nro often in a hurry and some times fit tho foot to tho shoe instead of tho Bhoo to tho foot, which Is tho propor way. Another fault of too many Btnlths Is thoy do not cut or trim onough from tho bottom of tho foot and on tho otuTTTTT of the ....ii .- n .' cut Uekir- it th ..,;: " ora to mV. u "mucs of the fool .k8 l0 4 of tC onamel or couth,,, o ,tTae. l2 not bo broken ?
