GROWING HORSES.
From the Homestcad.

From the Homestead.
Horses are cheaper than they were
some time ago, and may still be cheaper
vet There is II natural cause for it. The
great grass and corn belt Of the west is
asserting its prcrogative to breed good
work horses cheaper than any other To-
cality in the country. AS the farmers in
this belt breed more freely, the, farmers
out side breed less. and, finding our COM
petition too severe for them, they put
their stock on the market and conclude to
quit This occurring now. the horse
ranches of the west are not paying as well
as they did. The grass and corn belt fur
nishes the trade with better draft horse
and electricity is doing the street car
work. The outlook is not good for light
horses unless they have qualities desired
out Of fashion just as the ranch cattle
did, and depress better horses as they go.
The east cannot compete with the grass
and corn belt in raising any kind of a
horse that requires good keeping to de-
velop him. We western farmers do not
exactly klibw all there is to be learned
about horses. We have set out to breed
them larger. and from draft mares var
ious kinds can be had. We are at the
mercy of the importer, or rather must
submit to what he brings us. He is bring
ing heavy draft sires and we are using
them. and will use them more freely
This movement with us is breaking up
all other breeders who cannot grow u
horse as cheaply as we can-and very
few can. 1t is bear mOvement-llncon-
scious. as others in other departments of
the farm have been, but entirely natural
and will go on. The world knows very
little of the productive power of the grass
and corn belt. We are not fully inform
ed ourselves. 1t is interfering seriously
with farmers east. south, west and north
of us. They hold on to the production of
horses desperately, but they must give it
up. Cheap grass and corn on limestone
soil dry and suitable for horse growing
will tell thctalr in the long run. Horse
growing will be one Of the permanent de
partments Of our farming Competitors

POULTRY NOTES.

Wideawake farmers own pure-bred
fowls. which cost no more to feed, and
the ratio of profit is greater than with
barnyard stock. Why should not every
farmer do so! Better test the matter
thoroughly the coming spring. Expert
cnce will certainly prove its wisdom.
The incubator that was started early
this year is turning out the little downy
chicks by hundreds. This means, with
good management, Il lot of early spring
brOilers at double the value Of after
hatched. 1t pays to be first in the mar
ket with the few. rather than h one, of
the late fellows and lose the cream Of the
profits.
Those that never raised ducks do not
know that ducklings grow much faster
than chicks. and come ut the time when
the best prices for chicks have passed.
Ducks will lay at least 140 eggs a year. and
will begin whens months old The Pekin
is a creamy white. by many considered
the best for the farmer, being hardy and
of good size-dressing. when in market
condition. to meet the most enacting
tastes.
Many country dwcllers have never
thought of raising fruit and poultry in
the same yard. They work admirably
together. a row of plum or pear trees
can be planted along the poultry run.
when the choice is made of location for
the poultry buildings. The droppings
from the fowls improve the soil about
the trees. and the chickens will eat the
wormy and curculib-strung fruit when it
drops to the ground. There is nothing
better for the chickens and for the trees.
Sitting hens must have attention One
is liable to forget that warm weather
brings lice. \ clean nest is the first re-
quisite. Ii the nest box is well oiled

oHENI0AL PERT1LIzERs.

Prof. Whitcher. director of the New
Hampshire Experiment Station, lately
delivered u lecture on the ''GrOwth and
Nutrition Of plants before the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society. The,
question has often been asked: Can
chemical fertilizers compete with barn
yard manurcs!' The question. Prof.
Whitchcr said, is II very important one to
those who are selling hay. as well as to
farmers in the vicinity Of cities where
farm-yard manure is available. For the
past four years an experiment has been
carried on at the New Hampshire station
to determine this point, which has given
very satisfactory results. Two acres Of
land which had produced hay for three
years previous to 1885, and prior to that
oats and sugar beats. We're selected for ex-
pertinent. One acre had thirteen loads,
or five and six-tcntls cords of manure
plowed in and nine loads, or three and
cight-tenths cords, spread on the surface,
or twenty-five loads (nine and four
tentlls cords in all.) This manure was
from fattcning CATTLE. we'll fed with hay,
straw, cotton-seed and corr, meal which
would sell as it lay under the stables for
S33. The other acre had yearly applica-
tions Of chemical fertilizers. mixed as fol-
lows; dissolved bone black. BAG pounds;
muriate of potash, l5O pounds; sulphate
Of ammonia, 81 pounds. The average
cost of this manure was 81 and as there
have been three applications since 1885,
it follows that each acre has received 4::}s;s
worth of fertilizer. one having $;s:s worth
Of manure and the other S'3 worth Of
chemicals. The first two years the crop
was corn, the third oats and the fourth
grass. The value Of the two corn crops
was estimated ut 9OO.S7 on the acre en-
riched with manure. and that on the acre
where chemicals was used at $8S. g. the
former having the advantage. The value
of the crop Of oats raised with barn
yard manure was S35. 10. with chemicals
$50. 55. The value of the hay crop with
barn-yard manure was 500. 40. with chem
icals $3l OF. showing net gain of 1884
by the use of chemicals. The cost of ap-
plying the manure was $3.50, and three
applications of chemicals. S1.44. This
experiment has been carried out with the
expectation Of continuing it for two or
three years more with grass after which
the same fertilizer should be repeated.
