S43 BREEDING THE The breeding of draft holies 1; ra;iid y becoUiiug '.no of the inosi iu.rj.ir uu-1; &H well as oue of tiie most prouca'Mo branches of aniial husbandry. Not withstandms the advent of the electric car, the autouiobiie auJ other inven tions for carrying- both passengers aiic": freight, the dSSnd tor uvait horses has constantly inereaseJ. In fact, the demand has increased much more rap idly than the supply, and as a conse quence prices for really first class drafters are higher than ever before known in this country. First of all, good breeding stock must be obtained. Draft horses of the type, size, tjuality and action now de manded by the market cannot be pro- duced from undersized and inferior stock. Soundness is an essential requisite, and bone and quality are necessary; good feet cannot be dis pensed with, and gooey action adds much to the value of the present day drafter. With the right kind of breed ing stock the battle is half won, but much depends upon the care and feed ing. In my experience I have been surprised in late years at what can be accomplished in the development of bone and muscle by judicious feeding and plenty of outdoor exercise. If colts are permitted to have con stant outdoor range, both winter and summer, with good sheds to run under in time of storm or severe weather, all they need is plenty of good grass; a UOOD SPECIMKN OF THE FEltOHEKON. liberal allowance of oats and bran, with a little corn perhaps, in the win ter lime; also corn fodder, bright oat straw and plenty of good hay for roughness. Under these conditions they will develop all the bone and mus cle required, will be active and vigor ous and when coming three years old will be sufficiently matured so they can be fed for the market and heavy weights obtained. With the constant outdoor exercise and feed suggested the colts have grown up Btrong and bealthy, their bone and muscle are bard from constant use, their lungs are sound and their digestive organs are in good working order. In the fall after they are two years old they are well matured and when fed for weight will take on flesh rap Idly, and they have the bone and mus cle to carry it. Draft horse breeding when carried on with judgment, either by the farmer or larger breeder, will be as profitable as any other branch of stock raising for many years to come will always be profitable when intelligently pursued. It is important that the business should be encouraged in all legitimate ways. It Is not only important to the farmer and breeder, but equally important to the manufac turer and business man. The draft horse is an essential element in gen eral prosperity. Without him com merce vould lag and agricultural prog ress would be retarded. He is at the very foundation of all industrial prog ress, til farmer's friend and ally and the kinj of the market place. H. G. licMillsdii in New Southwest. Breeding Good Stock. Good feeding must go with good breed hj. Select the best for breeding purposes. Like produces like or the likeness of an ancKstor. The longer the pedigree the better if it is tht" right kind. Avoid strongly opposite tendencies in the parents as tending to weaken the hereditary tendency in the young. If violent, crosses are made, do not breed from 1 he crossbreds. The young will be most likely to re semble the parent having the strongest breed ng powers and strongest pedi gree. Animals which have power of strongly influencing their young for several generations are- termed prepo tent. Those who know nothing about in-bree-llng should avoid it Practice it only between individuals as nearly per fect s possible. It tends to fix and Increase all characteristics, both good nd bad. In crossing and grading up always use a thoroughbred male, Bays Amer ican Cultivator. Never use a poor grade, no matter how well he looks. He cannot be depended upon to breed true. Breed from the best specimens of the best bred families. Usually the female can be used for breeding at an earlier age than the male. CUan the Troughs Thoroughly. It Is very essential, if you want your lanbs to eat, that you always sweep your troughs out thoroughly before you pet in fresh grain. And- when you feed more grain than the Iambs will cU-an up in, say, twelve hours, don't .leave it until they have finished it, but sweep it out and put In fresh. These weepings need not be wasted, as other live stock will eat them, but you might better waste them than to attempt to make the lambs eat them. 1,5WJ Hi; I U, u mLmmmmmi Philomath Snapshot. The weather affords an ever varving topic from week to week. Clouds and heavy showers with a wintry atmosphere have again hushed the thieshing machines and the harvest fields are quietly awaiting the denouement. Peaches seem to be the all ab sorbing topic and each day some of our people are seen making an exodus toward the orchards ly ing adjacent to Corvailis, return ing at evening laden with lus cious fruit. But a tew of the inhabitants of our .little burg dared to brave the rigors of the Newport beach last Sunday. Only four were tempc ed from the cczy firesides of their hom.s, but probably our genial ageit at the Philomath station. failed to set the example this lime by appropriating the first two tickets (for luck) to himself aud Co. i Mrs. O.

Johnny Foley, a blind boy and quite a talented musician, who has been making his home in f j lomatn during tne past sum mer, gave a concert at that place last Saturday evening. The numbers were well executed, both vocal and instrumental, and were marvelous considering that Johnny has always been sightless and can only "see" by .feeling and Bearing, ine concert was quite well attended for this busy season and considering the stormy weather. The pupils of the Philomath public school met to drill for the march in the parade of the All Benton School Fair, on Tuesday evening at the school grounds, Mrs Eva B.

Taylor, ex-marshall of this city, is lying in a very seri ous condition, at his home in this place. Sometime ago he met with an accident that caused a severe hernia. This is the cause of his present condition and last week it was found that a very delicate surgical operation was necessary to save his life. Drs. Ptrnot, Othey and Loggan per formed the task, bat, though the patient is doing quite well at present, and may recover, only time will tell if the operation was a perfect success. W. N. Alford and family are contemplating a trip down the river for the hoD picking season. Earl Alford, whom we report ed recently having an abscess on his throat, is no longer under a physician's care, and he is rapidly recovering from his affliction.

The scene depicted is one to make the thoughts turn backward to the "little red school house." for there in miniature is the same, with the pretty, fresh-faced, school mar'm standing in the door ringing the bellnd a book in the etber hand. Coming up the country road is a plump little Miss with a elate under one arm, the words "cat" and "rat" being scrawled on the slate in childish letters. Along the road is a board fence on which one reads the fami liar invitation "Buy your school apparel of J. M. Nolan A Bon."

Addieaa Dr. B. V. Pierce. Buffalo. N. T. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Si&fttveof KEEP THE FLEECES CLEAN. A t-ittle Care In This Direction Will Repay- the Sheepman. i It goes -without saying that a clean fleece always sells better than a dirty one. It Is natural that when wool gots to the commission merchant he should discriminate against a fleece -that Is full of straw and dirt in favor of one with no better quality of staple, nt free from foul matter. This is a com mon experience among men who shear and sell wool. We know it is a very difficult matter to prevent the flock from collecting more or less dirt In their fleece, for they are quite apt to stand around and rub against the straw pile or haystack if they are allowed to do so, says the Iowa Home stead. We have known sheepmen who were so careful to keep the fleeces clean that they would not allow any one to carry a forkful of hay through the flocl. They were generally well rewarded for their care with fine, bright fleeces at shearing time which brought several cents a pound more than those of their neighbors who had been less careful. The difference between the price of a dirty fleece and a clean one, even though both be of the same quality of staple, may be only a few cents. How ever, when one thinks of the gain that Is made on the whole flock It amounts to considerable. Of course it Is quite a nuisance perhaps to keep the sheep from rubbing against stacks, and it may seem often as If the work which it requires to keep the flock in pens separate from those of the stock cattle was hardly repaid by the gain that Is secured from the improved condition of the fleeces. It is a common practice to feed roughage to the flock in low racks rather than to allow them to pick their roughage from the stack. The racks should be low enough so that hay from above will not drop down Into the fleeces when the sheep are feeding. The plan of keeping the fleece just as clean as possible is one that is prac ticed by all good sheepmen. If you have not been in the habit of doing the same, just try it from now on and see what a nice bunch of fleeces you have; also if you do not get a better price for your wool than you ordinarily do, mak ing allowance, of course, for the mar ket changes.
