Revival of Horse Hreed,nr.

E. E. Chester, in an address to
horsemen, said:
The few farmers who improved their
opportunities during dull times to
build up good breeding herd, and
went on raising horses regardless of
prices are now reaping a golden har-
vest not only in the sale of stock in
the market, but in the demand there
is for brood mares from other farmers.
During the past year there has been
an increased interest on the farm, in
horse production, and l predict great
er demand the present than for many
years in the use of valuable sires. The
late NJ. w. Durham said only a few
weeks ago: Il feel that better times
have come for every man in the horse
business who grows good ones" In
my mind this is the key note to the
situation. My neighbor sold three four
year old geldings for $500. Another
sold three for 5000. Each received all
his stock were worth. A part of the
difference between the two sales repre-
sents the difference between good sense
and bad judgment in business tranc-
action about five years ago.
A few, alas very few, farmers read
the live stock and farm papers and are
keeping posted as to market demands
and are furnishing stock of a credit
able type, and not one of them has ever
been known to express regret when
using or selling, that they had taken
unusual care in selecting foundation
stock, and in keeping posted in what
professional horsemen were doing.
These are pleased that they were not
frightened when it was echoed from
every hill side in all the land, back to
the valley between the hills, "the day
of the horse is past" The horse that
is best suited to the conditions Of the
western farm is the draft horse. With
fairly good judgment in selection there
need be few blanks. The colts and
their dams are useful in all the heavy
work of tie farm. They are easily
broken to work, and when we'll
a bunch of steers. They command
always good prices, and the
market mas never yet been over
stocked with good ones. The shrewd
horseman needs not to be told
that in the revival of the horse indus
try there is a great field of usefulness
and profit in supplying again these
farmers with stock. All the breeds
and classes of horses have their friends
on the farms, hence there is room for
all to aid in supplying the demand for
horses great and small, fast and slow.
that are best fitted to serve the varied
wants OF his master man.

Poultry Notes.

From Farmers Review: Don't neg
'ect furnishing your poultry with an
abundance of grit and green food, for
this keeps them in health and the
healthier your breeding stock is the
better matches you will get, and the
stronger your young.
OF course, you know the stronger
the young the better success you will
have as to the growth, and the per cent
of grown fowls.
Don't neglect having the breeding
stock exercise, lots of exercise, they
cannot have too much to give best re-
suits.
Gather eggs every day and keep in
moderately warm place to prevent
the germ becoming chilled. Turn
every day and the eggs can safely be
incubated after being kept three weeks.
Provide plenty of nests and plenty
of clean nesting, straw or soft hay, this
will prevent filthy eggs. Dirty eggs
should never be set or marketed.
One good cock is enough for ~ or
Is hens, one drake to five ducks, and
one gobbler to 10 or IL hens.
1t is not necessary to have SWIM
ming place for the ducks, but the eggs
will give larger per cent of fertility
If they are allowed to swim, then the
frogs and frogs eggs furnish them a
good food.
The first or 10 eggs laid by duck
each season rarely hatch. 1t is not
safe to set them. Furnish plenty of
straw in the duck pen and their eggs
will not need washing which will lower
the per cent of Matching. Keep them
penned until nine o'clock in order to
gather their eggs, and bring the eggs
in of cold mornings as soon after be-
pg laid as possible. They might hatch

Butter Fat.

AS has been pointed out before in
these columns, the per cent of butter
fat that milk contains is not depend
ent SO much on the kind of food the
COW eats as on the COW herself, says
Coleman's Rural World. The butter
fat content of milk is an individual
and inherent characteristic and is not
varied by the character of the food
eaten, except within very narrow lin
its. 1t is characteristic that is trans
MISSILE by sire and dam to progeny,
even through a number of generations
and it is because of this fact that we
have individuals, herds, families and
breeds that are noted for the large per
cent of butter fat found in their milk.
One expects Jersey COW to give rich
milk, although the expectation is not
always met. From Holstein cow we
usually look for large flow of milk,
but not high per cent of fat. If it
were possible to feed fat into milk by
giving rich food, it would be an easy
matter to get together herd Of COWS
that would average 500 pounds of but
ter year by taking lot of heavy
milking Holstein COWS and then feed
ing such food as is supposed to add
to the fat content of the milk 1T is not
to be understood that the "butter fat"
characteristic is absolutely unchange-
able, for such is not the case; but
greater changes are made in it by
other means than by the food eaten.
Exposure to unaccustomed extremes
Of temperature, rough treatment and
other causes of excitement will result
i'll a material reduction in the per cent
