seldom a hen can furnish eggs and new
feathers at the same time. Nature ex-
acts and provides, but she does not
force any thing beyond its capabili-
ties.
During the season of moulting the
fowls should be well supplied with nj
trogenous food; that is, meat or in
sects in place, milk, clover wheat and
some sulphur mixed with the food.
Such kinds should be fed to the fowls
before they begin to shed feathers, for
the new ones are ready to sprout be-
fore the old are forced from the cells.
There are many who do not give this
subject thought, never caring wheth-
err the moulting fowls are supplied
with nutritious and feather-making
food, never caring whether they are
exposed to cold rains, snow storms or
damp and filthy quarters. During
moulting the males should by sepa-
rated from the females to avoid rough
and useless attentions. The hens
should have extra care and food,
simple and stimulating tonics, to keep
up their vital powers and strength,
and iron and the Douglas mixture be-
tween times in their drink. Cor Ohio

Blood Counts in the Market.

The highest prices in the public
markets are paid for the blood that is
the most fashionable, and fashion
shapes itself upon the showing of the
records. The recent phenomenal
prices paid for ultra-fashionable blood,
and the high fees freely given untried
sires of ultra-fashionable breeding,
have caused many to fear that a boom,
an unhealthy imitation, is prevailing in
the trotting horse business, and that
prices will not stand. We do not think
that the time will ever come when the
cream of trotting blood will not sell
for princely prices. The cream never
bears very large proportion to the
milk-there is never enough of the
yery best to go around. Fashion
will shift in accordance with the
shifting fortunes of the turf, but will
always rest on lines that perform
and produce generation after genera
ton. The high prices paid for the
service of young and untried sires sim
ply means that the breeding public be-
lieve that we have reached poin.
where we are breeding horses so close
ly and intensely in trotting blood that
their pedigrees are q guarantee that
they will sire trotters. The whole les
son of the records is to stick close to
tested performing and producing-lines,
and the breeder who patronizes young
and untried sires should require of him
the ability to perform creditably, com
bined with blood on both lines that has
met the test in the stud. The bes
guarantee that young horse will ge
trotters is that he is a trotter himsel
and comes from sire and dam thai
were trotters and producers of trotters
Using the blood of such a horse is fol
lowing tested lines. and therein rest
the cornerstone of successful breed

The Moulting Season.

We have approached the time when
our fowls begin to moult They have
had season of rest, and those which
have stored up material for blood and
feathers will moult early. Fowls do
not moult alike, nor do they moult at
the same time annually. Young and
healthy hens fed largely on heterogeneous
food moult early in the season; old
and debilitated hens moult late. Hens
must have the material for making rich
blood and feathers before they shed
their old feathers. II they fail in this
moulting becomes slow, the feathers
drop of in patches, and new ones take
their places by a similar process.
Some hens moult easily. others pass
through a severe drain on the system
and suffer much.
The annual shedding of feathers
usually begins in June and ends in
September. Oftentimes the process i:
continued until Christmas, but it is the
old and debilitated hens and those
which have raised late broods thai
moult slowly and late in the season
During moulting the best hens decline
to lay and the most spirited cocks lost
their proud aud defiant looks, it i

Profit in Draft Horses.

Let any one 60 to the great cities
and he will see on their streets the
demand on the breeders of draft horses.
The transfer companies and other de-
mands are enormous for draft horses.
The Iowa Homestead says of this mat
ter: THE Eastern buyers are eagerly
hunting all over the West for the grade
draft horses and paying splendid
prices for them. We are glad so see
agricultural papers giving this year
more recognition of the merits of the
draft-horse interest and less of the fast
horse folly. 1t is very remarkable that
amid the almost universal depression
in farm products, the one that has
stood firm has been that of horses;
not all kinds of horses, however, but
the class which the horse raising pub
lie demands. The plug horse has
been dull sale, and we venture the as
sertion that he will never be in better
demand. Ask any of the Eastern
buyers who may be found at this
season of the year in any county in
Iowa that has been producing draft
horses, and the best are scarce, and it
is difficult to get what they want.
They can scarcely obtain horses of five
years old and upward, and not finding
those, will take them at four, three or
two years. The horse that is wanted
is either a horse that can travel,
or horse that can pull
or coach horse that has
good action, good size and style and
we'll matched. We have no hesitation
in saying that the horse that is profit
able to the farmer is tho draft. The
farmer has already for farm use the
mares which, when mated properly,
will produce them. He has profitable
work for the dam, and, excepting the
service, the price of the colt is nearly
all profit. Where bluegrass has beer
introduced the cost of keeping a col
from weaving time till he is sold is less
than the keep of a steer from weaving
time till he goes to the butcher. "
