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

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.

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.

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.
