Great Britain-Ninety per cent OF all

draft horses. about per cent are
high-class coachers. and per cent
trotting and light carriage horses.

the horses shipped to Hamburg are

France-About s5 per cent OF the
horses exported to this country are
what are termed cabbers. The other

between draft horses and trotters.

The cost OF feeding the dairy COW or

from 10 to 20 cents per day. In one
Ease we may expect two to three gal
Ions OF milk. worth 20 Ia 2s cents n
gallon. and one and half 10 two
pounds OF butter. worth 20 to 25 cents
a pound; while In the other. from ono
and n half to two and half pounds of
beef win be nm approximate gain.
These figures should sufiice to con-
vince us OF the money In these indus
tries. A suitable ration for n dairy
COW would be 30 pounds OF silaxc. 10
pounds OF cowpea or clover hay. 3
pounds OF corn meal, pounds OF cot

to increase tho meal ration TO six

@. p. Goodrich read q paper on
breeding dairy herd. He told of his
attempts to get good cows by buying.
but finally had to go to breeding and
developing his own cows. He had OBJ
tained very good results from feeding
grain to his cows when on pasture.
Tho yield one year went UP to 800
pounds per COW. although there were q
number OF two and three year old heif-
ers in the herd. He also feeds silage.
Q.-Was your Improvement In the

MI. 0oodrich--I think that It was
due to both.
Q.-What feed do you give when
your cows are on good grass?
Mr.. Ooodrich--Corn meal and bran;
the reason for that ID that there II
enough protein In pasture grass.

Inland LAX. for Kansas.

A big inland lake out on the prairies
of Western Kansas will soon be a re-
ality. Kansas City capitalists have
gone behind the Barton county lake
scheme. and are pushing the prelim-
mary work on 1t rapidly. In Barton
county, about eight miles north OF
Great Bend, is natural basin twelve
miles long and six miles Wide. Only
one draw leads out Of 1t. and that ID
only $50 feet wide. Damming this wall
will make the basin lake. The land
in the basin is worthless for farming
purposes. 1t is gumbo. and the only
thing that will grow ON It IL salt gyass.

The state is doing nothing in the line
Of special dairy Instruction. and her
dairy interests are suffering IN eouse.
Quence. The reason may b that this
branch Of agriculture has not until
recently become one, of the important
industries Of the state. and those hav-

be opened in the near future. The
necessity for such school Is readily
