Both the two brpds--the Shire and
Clyde-are we'll known in the United
States, and 1t is these two, in connection
with tho Peroheron, that are gradually
increasing the size of the dr4ught and
farm horse stock in America. Farmers
have their preferences as to which is bet
ter the Percheron or Clyde. But the
heavy drought horse, tho one to haul
grest sugar, beer ana tobacco hogs
heads III city work, is the Shire horse,
the one in our first picture,
The Shire is the Liverpool dock draught
animal, the strongest, heaviest horse in
the world. At the laet British Shire
horse show at Islington, London, there
was one horse that weighed :, 400 POUNDS.
The most approved height OF the Shire Is
1862 TO 1914, The specimen in the Illus

There Is enough of similarity in the two
specimens to show that they were derived

DR.. Galen Wilson. the well known
authority on all matters pertaining TO
sheep, gives good reasons why mutton
should be more largely used for food 1t
is true that farmers woald not only
serve their own welfare, but the public
interest az well, by paying greao.r 4tten-
ton to the production Of first class nut
ton for the table The doctor says that
the flesh OF the sheep Offers greater im-
n1unity from disease and filth than any
other animal They DO not thrive in the
miro nor wauow IL the trough they feed
from. They consume neither garbage,
verlnip, decaying meats nor rotten veg
etables. Their flesh has never been
known to iIlpart scrofula or trichin3 to
those who eat it.
The sheep is dainty feeder, and
clearly in all its habits. It cannot sub
eist on filth, nor can it long survive
within filthy environments. Sheep are, Of
course, subject to disease, but unlike
cattle, hogs and fowls, they give occular
evidence OF their aiiment, and that they
are unfit to slaughter for human food
almost as soon as attacked. Mutton is
wholesome, nutritious and easily digest

Hon. H. J,OrmSiC", Erordcp, w.:
Dear Sir-Some Que has been kind enough
TO send mo tic ;hird annual report OF tho
state agricultural experiment station of
Vermont, for which | am really thankful
! have been studying the experiments care
fully aud | wish 70 say that the work is far
superior to ours in the way the results arc
shown in the report Thoy are so simple,
So plain and SO direct that one canno. help
but understand.
One OF the greatest reasons the ordinary
farmer docs not appreciate the MHssachu-
sets Agricultural Coleg is, that they do
not under,t nd the bulletins as tho conclu-
sons IRE go vague, and given in such leprn-
ed terms. The summing W Of your report
on page SO, alone Is worth whole volumes of
some reports.
Several &C the feeding tests, those on page
81, GS, 20, 1! and - o. the report | have
worked out on my own fartn, and then
stated the results Ia our club My word
vas doubted, go look The report into the
ciuh, and gave ;hein review Of the matter
in question, and hope it may benefit them.
Some of the members are our representative
farmers, aud yet they believe IN selling corn
fodder at 50 ton, or making bedding Of it,
rather than TO cut ana feed it out. Even
our ,ecictary OF the state board lets lis cat
lie eat what they will in the bundle, max
ing Boiling Of the balance, las it is a good
Absorbent
The farmers in your State cannot but ap-
pgec!ale' your report, Tor 1t is hrim-lull Of
facts which all should learn. They mus; be
benefited by It's helpful influence know
farmers are slow 20 learn, slow to believe,
and extremely cautious; but seeing the
problem solved by others, after time they
will como to believe i'll, and adopt new
methods.
believe in agricultural colleges and OK
pertinent stations, but they will not amount
to much unless they are in connection with,
and have the conf fence Of the farmers gen
orally. so do this: Make experiments such
as all farmers need, and state tncu ia as
few words As possible, just as you have in
thi- report, and L, some means get them IN
70 the hands OF about every farmer in the
State, inviting them to read, ponder and
test for themselves.
Yours truly,
