Horse Breedin e.

The special demand for certain
classes of horses is or ought to be we'll
known by everybody, but Judging
from the fact that so many scrubs are
yet bred is evidence enough, says the
Rural and StOckman, that this de-
mand is either not known or not APP
Dreciated There is demand for
GOOD horses of all breeds. The market
is not overstocked in any direction
whatever. The heavy draft horses
are always in demand; the HANDLE
tonian sells readily enough; the
Morgan is always in demand; the
Coacher is not imported or bred
largely enough to satisfy the demand
for that class of horses. What then
shall we breed? From what we have
said the proper answer would seem to
be: ''Breed anything but the scrubs" "
There are horses at work in Chicago
that cost only from ten to forty
dollars; and they do the work at
which they are put. Some Of them
are not very old horses either. But
they are scrubs to begin with and per-
haps having been bred from defective
sires or dams have been good for moth
ing from the beginning. They are
not the kind of horses that the public
in general want. Looking over our
weekly horse sales it is not difficult to
see what kind of horses we ought to
breed if we want to make anything
from horse breeding. Horses are like
all other kinds of stock in the matter
of profit, they must be the best to be
profitable

of shrinkage generally. At fifteen

THE DAIRY.
Feeding of Cows and Calves.


Experiments at the Iowa Station
gave the following facts or indica-
tions: Quality of milk so far as
measured by it's percentage of fat was
changed by feed to a much greater
degree than was quantity. Two
thirds of the increase in average gross
yield of butter fat was due to i'm
proved quality of the milk, and only
One-third to increased milk-fiow.
Corn IS not perfect milk ration.
Substitution of bran and oilmeal re-
suit in increase of quantity and quail
lty OF milk. A ration of skim-milk
and ground fiaxseed compares favor
ably with a new ration for young
calves. The larger gain came from
the whole milk but part of it was
partly due to the individuality of the
calves and good results and a thrifty
growth were made on skim-milk and
ground fiaXseed. The skim milk calves
were interrupted less in growth by
weaving than the whole milk calves.
A saving in value of butter fat alone
OF Sill per month on each calf was
effected by substituting ground flax
seed.
The cost of producing pound of
gain estimating new milk at 87} cents
per 100 pounds and skim-milk at Is
cents per 100, gain l cent per pound.
nay So per ton, and faxseed meal 81
cents per pound, was 10 cents for the
fresh milk ration and 5 cents for the
sklm-milk ration.

| tails that farming requires UnaC mas
| caused the failure of schemes OF
bonanza farming. What is done by
hired help, not under personal super
vision of the employers eye, is apt to
do only eye service. 1t is as true
practically as when first uttered, that
the hireling feeth because he is a
hireling. The workman in any oc-
| cupation who always makes his en-
plOyer's interest his own is invaluable.
Yet if he would but regard it rightly
that interest is identical with his.
The keen competition for intelligent,
reliable help insures it what it can
earn. for if one employer will not pay
for faithful service, another Will.
1t is therefore not likely that farm
wages will soon. if ever, materially
decline. The demand for young men
in city emplOyments has for many
years taken the most active and en-
terprising-more than it will, we be-
lieve, in the near future. Business
life in cities is precariOuS. Few mer-
chants can 60 through life without a
failure at it's middle or at the close.
The fact is becoming recognized that
equal executive ability on the farm
will, on the average, produce as much
wealth and more comfort than it can
in average business and commercial
city enterprises. Except in the item
of farm help, and possibly also in
that, the cost of getting farm work
done has declined, the aggregate ex-
pense is greater but it is or may be
Offset by still larger results. One man
with improved machinery can do so
much more work that not only does
he earn better pay, but something is
or ought to be left over for the farmer
if he does his part.
There is also great reduction in the
prices Of most improved agricultural
machinery. AS various patents run
out the cost from the manufacturers
will be greatly lessened. This is to a
greater extent than is thought true
now in machinery where there
is rightful competition of firms
manufacturing under different pat
ents Any one now can buy reap
ers, mowers, drills and cultivators
20 to 80 per cent. cheaper than was
charged for them a decade ago.
The greatest reduction of farm ex-
penses, however, must be relative by
increasing amount and value of it's
products. Rich and well-drained land
produces so much more than that in
poor condition as to give the farmer
who owns the best farm great adj
vantage. He and his hired help may
work no harder, and possibly not so
many hours, but they accomplish
more, and thereby produce at less
cost. This is the only practical way
to make farming pay. The man who
does not improve his farm, and waits
for high price to help out his poor
farming, will learn when the good
prices come that he has SO little to
sell that it does not profit him much.
On the other hand, if he conducts his
business so as to produce large crops
these can usually be sold at some
profit in any condition of the market.

At various times would.be competitors

and while we appreciate the result OF
