FINCH EXPERIMENTS IN HORSES FOR U. S. CAVALRY i THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER BREEDING | Two Well Known Stallions, Henry of Navarre and Octagon, Placed at Command of Farmers in Vicinity of Front Royal, Virginia—Colts Bring $150 When Three Years Old. United States The public generally knows that the government has outlined a plan to sncourage the breeding of horses for the army whereby mare owners in suitable sections will have the com- mand of service to first-class stallions free, in return for which they agree lo give the United States options on resulting foals at a fair price. The plan was taken up a2 a means to pro- vide a good supply of horses such as the army needs, which, strange as it may seem, is rapidly becoming more wpd more limited. An appropriation was suggested at the last session of congress, but no action was taken, one objection being that the plan was not practical—that farmers would not snter-into such agreements with the povernment. Fortunately, funds were available to make an experiment to determine this point. Mr. August Belmont, of New York, presented %0 the government two of his best-known stallions, Henry of Navarre and Octagon, and the De- Cavalry Horse. partment of Agriculture placed them at the command of farmers in the vicinity of Front Royal, Virginia, on exactly the terms outlined in the gov- ernment plan. By the approval of the war depart~ | ment, the price to be paid for the resulting foals at three years of age was $150, and no difficulty whatever was experienced in getting farmers to breed their mares under these terms. About 30 mares were bred, the stal- lions reaching Virginia somewhat late in the season and Octagon’s usefulness being curtailed by a severe attack of distemper. 2 The interest of the Virginia farm- ers is keen, and already fifty addi- tional maves have been offered for the season of 1912, and the services of more stallions could easily be utilized. Circular 178 of the Bureau of Ani- mal Industry explains the depart- ment’s breeding plan and may be oh- tained on application to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C. EGGS PRODUCED BY HEN IN YEAR About Five Dozen Per Fowl Is Fair Estimate, Counting Good, Bad and Indifferent. According to statistics the average number of eggs laid by each hen in this country foots up about five dozen. 'This is counting the good, bad and indifferent. But if the statistics were taken from poultry farm reports ex- clusively, the average would be ten dozen. The average farmer is care- less with his fowls, and does not, as a rule, gather all the eggs the hens lay for the reason that in their free range they have hidden nests and the eggs In consequence are often lost. With the improved methods of breeding, the average with the poultry men will in a few years run as high as 150 eggs per hen per annum. Individual. records have been reported that are fast scor- ing up to the 300 mark, but it is very doubtful if they will ever get near it, for a hen must have a sufficient num- ber of days to molt,and the calendar gives us but 365 days in the year. JERSEY BULL A SPEEDY RACER | wll- Blood Amimal Trained te Pace Mile in Less Than 214018 Exceeding- 1y Docile. A full-blooded Jersey bull, which can pace a mile in harness-attached to a sulky in less than 2:40, and which can be ridden in the saddle at even better gaint has created quite & pensation in Pennsylvania. The bull {» four years old, fawn in color and A Speedy Racer. weighs 1,100 pounds. His owner says he frequently rides the animal and finds him as easy-going as a pacing horse. The bull is exceedingly docile and seems to take great pleasure in speed- ing and it requires no effort to keep him up to the top notch whether ridden or driven.

'RANGE LAMBS ! | on Feed, but Secures Large ! Benefit From Manure Dropped. i (By W. M. KELLEY.) The great advantage of feeding lambs is the fact that the home- grown forage and fodders together with the otherwize waste products of the farm may be turned to profit. This may be done.-with 'a: mintmum expense ‘for the purchase of highly concentrated by-product foods and mill-feeds that are required to make a satisfactory fattening ration for other kinds of stock. Feeding range lambs like other branches of sheep feeding is sure to become more popular as farmers ap- preciate the necessity of cutting out the purchase of large amounts of grain food and feeding a class of live stock that are capable of turning their grain food and forage that 1s grown on their own farms to a profit. Practically every line of feeding ; that is conducted outside of the corn | belt states has been developed upon a basis of cheap grain foods and now that every kind of grain foods have reached a price that makes their use almost out of the question, the aver. age feeder is finding his profits grow- ing smaller. The men who have been feeding prices as severely as other feeders because sheep can be put in good con- .and concentrates. lambs the feeder not only makes a profit on the original cost of. the lambs, but as well on the cost of the food which is_grown on their farms, and in addition there is a large return of fertility to the soil, when the man ure is.carefully handled, .k = ./In England ‘this branch of feeding has been conducted for many years and it has been found & very profit: sble way to Increase the fertility of the soil as well as a profitable way to There are excellent inducements to feed range lambs, especially for the man who does not desire to keep live stock on his farm during the whole of the year; and many farmers duct winter stock feeding at a profit, but who have too much other labor on their farms during the crop grow- Ing season. There is money to be made by feed- ing range lambs if & man understands the fundamental principles of the busl- age, fodders and grain Crops. —_— The amount. of capital required; to, care is exercised, fair profit obtained the firat yoar, | T P ‘| pleasant to take. fies.
