Chambers' Journal HONEST FARMERS. Matter Selected for Their Espocial BoneSt. BUSINESS METHODS ON FARM. Tha Method of Breeding, liaising a, Training Horses la America trlllrl.,) by lifraiis llorsoniaa. Ik-fore we can profitably breed hone we must learn the hard, practical utility of horse-breeding and raise horses for some useful class in the industrial world. The great American trotter, that w boasted the greatest horse on earth ! cause he could go a mile in less time tlmu any other, find no sphere of useful ni-is, and, as we have often said before, is the laughing stock of Kiiropean horsemen, who want horses of size, strength and endurance, with beauty of form to lit them for the army or for the city streets, where hones are prized for the woik they can do, not for the speed they tan do. Our readers will lie interested in the following letter to an exchunge ,r 11 err liruchard von tiettigen, the stu'l masterof the Imperial Mud of liermunv, sent here by the government to iuvesti gate the methods of breeding, raising and training horse in America. Ilcrr von Oettigen haa visited every stock farm of prominence in America North, r-outh, Kaat and West: " I could leu in a great deal more in a week in Kiiglaml than a year in this country," be said. " 1 do not mean by thi to in any way reflect upon the thoroughness of your breeders, but must ray that thev are care!es. They do not seem lo look ii)ii horse breeding as a busiiiesH, one to be studied, and out of which study they may learn what means to use in 'proa-rly mating animal. I have seen a great many of the farm where foal have been permit ted to nurse for eight months; while this in itself may be very giatd for thu foal, it is very bad for the coming fo.il. Then your method of breeding is entirely diirerent. Von mate anything witii speed. Your breeders seem lo have very little idea of a prox-r ration for the growth of the animal. They feed too much corn, which makes a soft, spongy bone, instead of having a finer Imiie, with bran and oats. Some of your breed ing farms areonascaleol a magnificence that could nut be allorded by the royal house of Europe. Kor instance, in 1'alo Alto there are over 350 men to take cure of the horses. Thi i a small army, ami the expense must be something ternlic The kindergarten system of educating the trotter is a good one as far as it go--, hut it only fits them for a good ced sustained for a mile. That in my opin ion is where your breeder are making a serious mistake. Everything is imide subservient to the one-mile record. The horse is fitted, trained and worked with the idea to knock oir a few seconds on a smooth track with a bicycle sulky, ol what use is such an animal'.' If be could not go fast, he wonld not bring over $.V. I'nderstand that I am not disparaging the trotter in any way, for American skill has certainly clone more in a light with time for a siiort distance than any home in the world. I am looking solely on the utility of such a horre. lb is not useful, because his lames are bad, bis joints are often too small, and when large enough have inherent disease. He is not titled to overcome dihVuilic, and i only useful in the sense of winning race. A trotter in the Kuropcan sense must be able to go over any kinds of roads, up hill or down hill, In-fore any sort of wagon, drawing 300 to 4(0 pounds at a twelve or fourteen mile an bourgait. We do not in anv way endeavor to smooth the way of ditlicultiea for the sake of a record. We want a horse that can get out and do hi work without any nursing. Then, another thing, we hear very little of team records for trotters in this country. I do not mean, of course, a sensational ierformance made by the favorite driving pair of some few gentle men, but I am talking aliout the country as a whole. With ti there are four-in-hand trotting race for gentleman driv ers, and it takes a good man, I tell you, to keep your horses on the trot up to their work every minute of the four miles, the distance usually gone over." FARM AtlOIXT. Huelness Methods In Farming Nhiiuld be Closely fcierrlsed. Every rrop planted on the form, every animal bought and every man hired is an investment involving sound business judgment in both the planning and the management to insure a profitable out come. Too often crops are planted or stock raised, simply because other farm ers raise them, without regard to the cost, the market or the adaptability to the particular farm and its equipment. When planted no account is kept of the expense, ami not even an estimate is made of the cost, hut the crop is sold soon as harvested for what it w ill bring and the crop repeated the next season. While it would sometimes cost more than the crotis were worth lo keep a de tailed set of accounts with each rrop, still a simple business-like set of farm accounts will furnish the data hereby the profitableness of particular crop or stock may be closely estimated and thus furnish a safer basis than guesswork for the abandonment of the cmn or for changing it treatment. Many parts of the estimate made for one vear or field would answer for other years snd fields. Whether account are kept with partic ular fields or crop or not, there should I an account opened with the farm and other with household and personal ex penses. Ity taking stock each year it can be determine. I whether the farm has lieen profitable, whether the improve- menthaveexceeded the repairs, whether personal pleasures have lieen too extrav agant and whether the household de partment has been economically rarritd on. Of course, there should be an ac count for every person with whom a credit business is transacted, for every one admits that memory utterly fails in keeping an accurate record ol such trans actions. Treat the farm as a person, and see whether it can I credited ar.li a fair balance of profit every new rear. II farming I a lustne. then the keep ing of farm account will pay. ruiLTKv ntKiMdt.
