IT you are breeding sheep do the Gull

him do it, for he will take your best

cases to breed from. By and by you
will get so fine a flock that there will be
no culls. The rule in live stock is,
breed only from the best.
Through September and October tur.
keys frequently droop and sometimes
die without any apparent cause. A tur-
key breeder writes that a remedy which
works well for the sick turkeys is to
give them plenty of water. Have water

reach them, at various convenient spots,
and keep them filled with water.
Nothing brings in ready money so cel.

than large ones, too, which should be a

will vanish from the scene, and sheen

PERCHERON-MORGAN CROSS.
He Believes This Is the Best Horse for
the Farmer.

He Believes This Is the Best Horse for
the Farmer. -.
l have read with interest the discus
sions in regard to draft horses and COM
mon purpose horses as suited best to
teamwork. The best horse fo< the
farmer to raise is the horse that will
bring him the most money. have bred
at different times the three draft breeds
viz, Percheron, Clydesdale and Shire.
Of the three breeds l consider the Clydes-
dales the poorer, having very fiat, poor
feet, Doggy joints and bad dispositions,
the mares being quite inclined to be
kickers. The Shires are better, making
very good draft horses, but inclined to
be slow. -
Ny best success has been with the
Percherons crossed on the Morgans. I
bred two mares, descendants of Old
Justin Morgan, to a Percheron horse
and raised a span Of mares which I
must say were the gamiest team I ever
owned. Their weight was about 1850
pounds each. lin turn bred these mares
to another Percheron horse, their colts
being a horse and mare which are now
five years old.
The horse I kept entire, and a finer
specimen Of horseflesh no one would
wish to see. He has a close, smooth,
handsome body, heavy muscles, clean.
fat limbs and stands on the best of feet.
He has a handsome, intelligent head, is
gentle as a kitten and the most active
horse Of his size l ever saw. His weight
is 1850 pounds. l sold him at 4 years
old for $3.50. The mare I sold at 2 years
old for 5000, and her present wner has
refused $500 for her. I have continued
to breed as above, and have sold my
colts at 2 years or before, and have not
had to advertise or take them off my
farm to sell them for good prices.
To produce a common purpose horse I
think it will be necessary to cross some
one of the draft breeds with some smaller
and more active breed. The Morgan is
the king of light horses. The Percheron
is the king of draft horses. A cross be-
tween the two makes a model common
purpose horse. They make the best of
farm horses, weighing from 1900 to
1,4OO pounds, are kind and gentle and
possess both style and action. If you
want them heavier take another cross
or two of the Percheron, and you have
the best heavy draft horse in the world.
A three-fourths Percheron and one
fourth Morgan is a better draft horse
than a pure bred Percheron, for what
he lacks in size he more than makes up
in quality. am not in favor of scrub
stock Of any kind. Percherons are not
| scrubs, Morgans are not scrubs, and a
cross between the two surely is not a

A magnificent addition to the hackney
horse blood in America has been made
by MI. A. J. Cassatt, of Philadelphia,
president of the American Hackney
Horse association. While in England
the past summer he bought and brought
home the famous hackney stallion Cadet.
The horse is the highest priced hackney
ever brought to this country. The new
owner of course is rather reticent about
how much he paid for him, but the
price is said to have been not less than
$50, 600. The coming horse in America
for both riding and driving appears to
be the hackney, of which Cadet is con-
sidered to be the best living represent
alive. He is 8 years old and Of the
model height-15 hands 3 inches. lie is
dark chestnut in color. Breeders who
expect to go in for money III tho next

turn their skill and capital in the .direc.

MusTY FODDER.
Shake It and Let the Wind Blow the
Dust Out of It.

SuAA0, H Ouu ACs thc NV4Nu 1bkOW the
Dust Out of It.
It is a serious mistake to feed fodder
that has been damaged by rain and wet
weather to animals without first dust
ing it out to dry. The injurious effect
which such food has upon stock more
than equals the entire loss of all the
fodder gathered. Such fodder is gath
cred from marshy lands and meadows
that have been inundated during the
moving time. Sedge hay or common
upland hay that has been wet at the
time of moving will be impregnated
with disease germs that will be COM
municated to the animals that eat the
hay. Stock of a very robust nature will
find their health seriously impaired If
fed regularly upon such fodder.
A great deal of our sedge hay must
be cut and gathered when the feet of
the plants are wet. During many sea-
sons the meadows never get dry enough
to allow adry harvest. This hay is gen.
orally stacked for fodder in the barn
yard, and in a very few weeks mold and
rot show themselves near the bottom
and around the sides. If this decompo-
sition goes on long enough the stock
will refuse to eat it, and as q rule nearly
one-third of the stack is sheer waste.
The storms of winter only aggrayate
the matter and make the hay poorer
than in the fall. It is a cheap fodder,
however, and probably the manure
which it forms eventually pays for the
work of gathering it.. Otherwise the
great loss would make it Improbable to
cut salt hay.
All fodder thus stacked when it is
wet, whether it is salt hay, fresh upland
hay, corn fodder OF any plant growth,
will contain disease germs which under
favorable circumstances will develop
rapidly. The heat of the stack and the
constant moisture are just the condi-
tions that are needed to develop fungi.
The color of the fodder changes gradu-
ally, and the odor that arises from it
when moved is strong and disagreeable.
If such damaged fodder is to be given
to stock, the ration of each day should
be hauled out Of the stack and shaken
up SO thoroughly that tho wind will dry
it, and all odor i'll be destroyed. In
this way the wind and sun will dry it
and make it safer for food for the stock.
After it has been dried it will be we'll to
moisten it a little with a weak salt or
acid solution. This not only destroys
disease germs, but makes the fodder
more palatable for the animals.
Grains are often damaged in the same
way and fed in a moldy condition to the
I animals. There is just as much danger
in the grain as in the fodder ration.
Damaged grain is often bought by
farmers for cheaper rates and stock is
kept upon it right along. This will
not be so cheap as the pure grains if it
is going to injure the health of animals.
Nevertheless all danger can be avoided
by busting the grain out well and mois.
tening it with the weak solutions men
toned. In this country and abroad it is
quite a common thing to feed wet, dam.
. aged fodder to animals regardless of
consequence, hut for all such careless.
ness there is strict payruv-s,to be made
to nature.-C. s.. Walters ir American

The Damage by the Late Storm.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 21.-Reports re-

than wa at first anticipated.
At Senro several lives are reported

and Stillaguamish valley from the floods.
Mount Vernon, Fir Leconner and Ham
ilton and other towns are under water
four or more feet, and the people are
removing their effects to higher ground,
fearing a still greater rise.
On the Skagit river navigation is u s
pended. Nearly 100000 feet of logs
came down yesterday, tearing out a pier
of the wagon bridge at Mount Vernon
and swapping the piles off. The. banks
of the river are lined with crowds watch
ing the mad torrent. Several breaks
have occurred in the levee and the vaf-
leys pue town are scenes of desolation.
