the kinds Of cattle produced. The

better prices have justified more conf

having a telling effect upon the quality

with the pace set by the west the east

man understands the business than
there Is in feeding cattle. In fact, a
well selected and well bought lot Of
horses will make So per head where
cattle will make 81. A man to select
horses to buy and feed must be q
horseman, says F. J.. Berry in The Ru-
raj New Yorker. He should under
stand the requirements Of the market
and what constitutes a market horse.
He wants a blocky made. we'll shaped
horse of good bone and quality weigh
ing from 1000 to 1000 pounds 4 to Z
years old. 1t should be one of the three
following classes: A "chunk," with
shape and quality, weighing from
1850 to 1850 pounds; express horse,
1900 to 1900. or a draft horse weigh
ing from 1900 to 1880 pounds when
ready for market. They should be fed
we'll from 30 to 30 days. OF course a
horse that is in good condition when
bought might shape up in 30 days, but
from 30 to 90 days get most any horse.
In good shape. The next class most
profitable to feed and more profitable
than the above named classes If select
ed and bought by a competent Judge is
a coach or carriage horse or a road
horse from 1913 to 1917 hands, weighing
from LOO to 1900 pounds when fed
and handled so as to be we'll broken and
handy and fit for immediate use on the
road in a spider OF stanhope or car
rage. This class must be sound, pos
sess all the shape and quality required
and is very salable.
In feeding horses the best methods
should be adopted to obtain the largest
gain for the same amount of feed. I
have always found it most profitable
when l could keep horses in box stalls
or large pens on the ground. Horses
will not do as well to stand on a plank
floor or in common stalls, as their feet
dry up and get in bad condition. They
must have sufficient moisture to keep
them healthy and growing. They
should be kept warm and still have
plenty Of air. They should be fed all
the grain and water they want three
times a day, with good hay that is not
musty, but cut when green and well
cured, OF corn fodder Is good If cut up,
when green, good, short and we'll cured
and not allowed to dry too dry.
