FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1914, | i Farm and i Garden DRAFT HORSES IN AMERICA. #s Good Stock Can Be Raised Here as Abroad. [Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] The best breeds of draft horses are now so well established in the United States that experts of the United States department of agriculture be- lieve that the European war, which has interfered seriously with importa- tions, will not injure breeding in this country. It is, in fact, asserted that the American people will now have an opportunity to see for themselves that as good stock can be raised in this wun! 1s any that can be imported. ing characteristic of good ses is massiveness, for their usefulness is the - hauling of v loads. In consequence power, not speed, {s desired. To possess this power a horse should be compact, low set, or short legzed, and be able to throw a great deal of weight into his Books For The Asking Are you making use of the State Free Travel- ing Libraries? A free book or books may be had on request and by paying postage or freight on the same. The cheap rates now offered by parcel post make books ‘accessible to all. These loans are made in two ways—special loans of one or two books, which may-be. kept for two weeks or one month. Traveling library loans of 25 or 50 volumes which may be kept for six months. Do you need a package llbrary for debates? A Club library for your woman's club? An agricul- tural library for your farmers’ club? A general, foreign language, childrens’ or teachers’ library for your town? Do you want information which can be supplied by a book or magazine article? If so, address your state department.

A draft horse of the best type should h at least 1,600 pounds, and in localities where the heaviest breeds are common any animal under this is classed as a light drafter. In good drafters the chest is deep and \w-q Hang Your Pictures H welzhing up to 100 Ibs. with Moore Push Devices, will not disfigure walls Moore Push-Pins Sold In BEMIDJI AN AMERICAN BKED PERCHERON MARE. broad, the girth large and the body broad, deep and comparatively short, with well sprung ribs. The muscles of the hind quarters and thighs must be well developed, for it is these that furnish the chief drawing power, the front legs acting largely as weight car- riers. Good legs and feet, with clean, heavy bone, are very essential. In ac- tion the draft horse should walk with a rapid stride of good length, the feet being carried straight forward, This kind of action covers considerable ground in a short time. The ability to trot well is also desirable, but the walk is the draft horse’s gait. Today the "Pércheron probably out— numbers in this country all other breeds combined. In fair condition a mature stallion will weigh from 1,800 to 2,000 pounds, though many exceed this. In height it runs from sixteen to seventeen hands and in color is usual- 1y either black or gray. The Perche- ron stallion has proved very popular for crossing with ordinary mares, and grade Percherons are great favorites in our markets. Loss of Barnyard Manure. Pile up the manure of the barnyard with no protection from leaching and other detrimental actions of nature. and more than 20 per cent of the fer- tilizing strength of the manure is lost. Put down a bed of earth and on this pile the manure, spreading a thin coat of earth occasionally, and finally when the heap is completed, cover it with a thick coat of earth. The result has been that only about 2 per cent of the fertillzing strength of the manure has been lost. Tested in the field. earth preserved manure has been found to yield on a potato crop three times as much as the carelessly kept and unpro- tected manure. Soon the cattle will be in the stalls for winter feeding and the time for making the manure heaps will begin. This is a year when conserving every- thing that is useful that bas been going to waste should command the atten- tion of the farmer.—Home and Farm- stead. i SOMETHING ABOUT CATTLE ! Oromttmtme—tmttttmtmt bttt No farmer who has not tried it should engage in the cattle feeding business on a large scale at the start. He will find, and generally at pretty high cost, that experience and good judgment are needed as much as corn to lay the fat on a bunch of steers at & profit. The power of production in a cow is inherited. If the cow is a good dairy animal by inheritance and is given good care and feed she will become more productive as she increases in age. The quantity rather than the quality of her milk is influenced by feed. It costs just so much to put a pound | of meat on an animal, and if it is lost during the winter, from low feeding or exposure, it is just that much extract- ed from the owner’s pocket. It is much more profitable and sensible to retain every pound of flesh gained and also if possible to keep each animal improving all through the winter. Pure bred dairy cattle will often be the keynote to great profit from the farm. What is the use of keeping an indifferent. nonproducing animal of any description when aze that will make a handsome profit will take no Inore room, no more care and no more feed?
