The German trade does not require
either an impossible or an ideal horse,
suited to all purposes; but it does de-
mand good horses of every kind, thor
oughly prepared for their special work.
A horse to bring remunerative price,
either for home or foreign service, must
fill a distinct place, i. e., he must be
a good one of his kind, whether he be
a cavalry horse, draft horse, a car
rage horse, trotter, a hunter, polo
pony or what kind soever. The stan
dard by which good horses are judged
Is practically the same on both CONT
nents. A good horse in America is a
good horse in Europe provided lie fills
distinct want in the business of the
country. In Europe horses pull carts,
cabs, omnibuses, coaches, trans,
plows, ETC., and carry men on their
backs. Thus they need horses of all
breeds, for no one breed can possibly
I'LL all of these requirements satisfac-
torily.
Great Britain-Ninety per cent of all
horses shipped to this country are
draft horses, about per cent are
high-class coachers, and per cent
trotting and light carriage horses.
Germany-Ninety-five per cent of all
the horses shipped to Hamburg are
draft horses, weighing 1900 pounds or
upward. the other per cent being
made up Of high-class carriage, run
ming, and trotting horses. Most of the
latter are reshipped to Austria.
France-About IS per cent of the
horses exported to this country are
what are termed cabbers. The other
10 per cent are about equally divided
between draft horses and trotters.
Belgium-About per cent Of those
sent to Antwerp are trotting or light
buggy horses, % per cent street car
horses, weighing 1900 pounds, and rs
per cent draft horses, weighing 1000
pounds and upward.

Breeding . Dairy Herd.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review Stem
ographic Report OF Wisconsin Dairymen's
Convention)
G. P. Goodrich read a paper on
breeding dairy herd. He told of his
attempts to get good cows by buying,
but finally had to 60 to breeding and
developing his own cows. He had OBJ
tanned very good results from feeding
grain to his cows when on pasture.
The yield one year went up to 800
pounds per cow, although there were a
number of two and three year old heif-
ers in the herd. He also feeds silage.
Q.-Was your improvement in the
herd due to breeding or feeding?
Mr.. Goodrich think that it was
due to both.
Q.-What feed do you give when
your cows are on good grass?
Mr.. Goodrich-Corn meal and bran !;
the reason for that is that there is
enough protein in pasture grass.
Q.-Do you think that you can form
a good opinion of the value of a dairy
cow by purchasing her and taking her
away from her old surroundings, and
putting her into new and strange con-
ditions?
Mr.. Goodrich-That depends on the
kind of surroundings she has had; II
she has been owned by some progress
i've man that has kept her under ideal
conditions she might not do well in
her new quarters, but II she is taken
from ordinary conditions into my

ture all aroused and with no trace in
the flushed faces of its members of
human charity or pity. Mounted men
In uniform strove to keep the throng
in check, but they and their horses
were thrust aside as the mass of GU
rious seekers after sensations pushed
and elbowed their way forward. There
was the honest peasant jostling with
out regard for politeness or policy the
wealthy landlord, the grave-digger in
his rude habiliments, brushing against
the satin jacket of a noble, the maid
servant and the countess all jumbled
together, all concentrating their eff
forts to gaze on the awful scene before
them, to sup full OF horrors during the
fearful tragedy which was about to be
enacted before their very eyes. In the
center OF the great square a huge scat
fold had been reared, that terrible i'm
plement of an outraged justice, with
the horrible moose hanging limp and
loose and the CHASTITY black cap flung
carelessly down on the rude boards
which formed the flooring. All about
this awful object the eager crowd sway
ed and dull, angry cry went up as
the masked hangman mounted the
platform.
just behind him came the culprits, a
man and woman, guarded by score
of lusty retainers. They were man
and wife, both accused of murder! The
tumult ceased, as II by magic, and a
ieathly silence fell. There was a uni
Versal craning of necks in the throng,

The man had broken down and knelt
trembling before the awful masked fig-

sobs that the woman, the weak, shrink

Yes, why?" This came in a roar
from the mob.
The doomed man flushed painfully.

No Dairy Education In California.
Bulletin "a, Of the Department Of
Agriculture, treating of dairy educa-
ton in California says:
In striking contrast with CALIFORNIA;
characteristic energy in advancing the
interests of many Of her industries in
every possible way, the one method
of promoting dairying, which in other
states is considered of the greatest i'm
portance, has thus far been neglected.
The state is doing nothing in the line
of special dairy instruction, and her
dairy interests are suffering in conse.
Quence. The reason may be that this
branch OF agriculture has not until
recently become one OF the important
industries Of the state, and those hav-
ing power to assist in it's promotion
have not yet realized its great posi-
bilities. Efforts to establish a state
dairy school have been made, but
without success. 1t was a subject of
discussion at the dairymen's conven-
ton, and its friends will continue to
agitate it, hoping that a school will
be opened in the near future. The
necessity for such a school is readily
seen. In the past few years there
have been many improvements and
changes in dairy operations, and the
improvements and changes still con-
tinue. Butter and cheese makers who
now follow comparatively recent but
really out-of-date methods are work
ing at a great disadvantage. New
forms Of machinery are constantly be-
ing introduced, methods of manufac-
ture are being perfected, market re-
quirements are becoming more strict,
end competition is growing more keen.
Special instruction in dairying is Of
fered at more or less well-equipped
schools in thirty-one states. California
is the only one in which the industry
is at all prominent that is not on the
list. The need of dairy school in
California is very apparent. The an
nual reports of the state board of
trade show the Importance of the
dairy industry as compared to others.
The value of California dairy products
Is equal to two-thirds the value Of her
gold output, and far exceeds the value
of any other mineral product. The
dairy products are worth almost half
as much as the wheat crop and about
half as much as the combined crops of
all kinds Of fruit. The receipts from
sales OF butter, cheese, cream, and milk
amount to nearly double the annual
expenditures for the support of the
public schools. According to the last
census California ranks in dairying with
other states as follows: Seventeenth
in total number of cows; seventeenth
in total butter product; ninth in total
cheese product. Yet thirty-one states
are ahead of her in encouraging and
promoting dairying by Offering spe-
cial dairy instruction. 1t is seen that
the dairy interests of many OF them
are smaller than those Of California,
both in toto and in comparison with
other industries.

place she win be 80 well satisfied In a
few days that she will do her best.
Q.-Do you think that 1t Is prudent
to feed breeding COW corn meal?
Mr.. Goodrich-That depends ON what
the rest OF the ration is. II she Is get
ting timothy hay and corn stalks and
silage / would say not, but II she is
getting clover or alfalfa you can bal
ance 1t by feeding some corn meal. I
never feed clear corn meal.
Q.-How is oat meal?
Mr.. Goodrich-Oat meal is a good
feed.
Q.-What about gluten feed?
Mr. Goodrich think 1t Is all right.
Off you find that COW Is getting
fat do you continue to give her corn
meal?
Mr.. Goodrich do not; ! give her
more of the protein feeds.
ON feeding gluten feed, have YOU
ever had trouble with the udder get
ting hard?
Mr.. Goodrich-No, sir; and We have
fed as high as five pounds OF gluten
feed per day.
Q.-How much wheat bran is 1t safe
to feed?
Mr. Goodrich do not think that
you are likely to feed enough bran to
do any damage.

IF you do not have that gutter
cleaned out by o'clock tonight I

upon you," said Brooklyn policeman
to 25th ward resident few evenings
ago, according to the New York Mail
and Express. my gutter has been

he called the attention of the police
man to the fact that his gutter was
the only one on the block from which
the snow and ice had been removed.
The officer glanced at his book and
asked: SIS your name Smith," mo;

apalogized and went away. Last night
the thoughtful resident went down in
to the cellar and brought up the coal
shovel. With this implement he set
to work upon the snow, which lay four
inches deep in front of his house. He
worked an hour and just as he was
putting the finishing touches to the Job
Smith strolled by. II say, Butcher,
you're chump. I would not do that

would have the laugh on Smith later
on. This morning when Butcher
opened the front door he found that

clean and had blown all the snow over

was scarcely snow enough in front Of

Poultry Notes.

The man that wants to raise broil-
plans as early as this, for he wants
to fill and start his incubators in the
fall, at a time of year when 1t is most
difficult to get fresh eggs. Consequent
ly at this time of year he must be
pushing the growth of his best chicks
so they will begin to lay by October
Meat meal should be fed as extensive
ly as possible to get the development.
Wherever well-developed chicks can be
bought at a reasonable figure it should
be done. Here and there may be
gathered up the chicks that were
Matched in March and April, and II
they have been well started their ma
turity may be reached by early fall.
Some poultrymen express the belief
that there is more money in geese than
in any other class of farm poultry.
They consider that the risk of loss
with geese is smaller than with ducks,
turkeys or chickens. 1t Is claimed
that the goose is a larger consumer of
grass than the duck and can be there
fore raised at less expense. Goslings
grow very rapidly and when fattened
usually bring better prices per pound
than ducks. One poultry raiser asserts
that old geese are the hardest and
least liable to sickness of any of our
feathered stock. For shelter almost
anything will do except in the coolest
weather in the more northern part of
the country. In the winter their web
bed feet act as snow-shoes and they
are not therefore frightened at the
snow. Add to this the fact that geese
produce eggs at profit when quite old
and we see that much is said in her
favor.
Not every amateur can successfully
raise broilers for market. 1t is the
work of the specialist. Unless one
thoroughly understands the business
he is not likely to make a success OF
it. One should not embark any large
amount Of capital in it without con-
siderable experience on the part of the
man that is to control the enterprise.
The best way for a man to get this
preparation is for him to have had
eight or ten years experience with
poultry generally. Then he should
each year raise for the market as
many broilers as possible. In produc-
ing eggs we can depend to a consid-
cradle extent on natural conditions.
But in the case of broilers artificial
means must be employed, which means
that new elements are introduced and
new experiences are required.

Ancient Tools.

An explorer recently found in Egyp,
a bronze bowl and series of iron tools
of forms quite unlike any known in
Egypt, and they are thought to belong
to an Assyrian armorer about $50 B. c..
These tools, comprising three saws
made for pulling, not pushing, one
rasp, one file, several chisels and fer
r1sss, a scoop-edged drill, two center
bits, and others, are of the greatest
value in the history of tools, as show
ing several forms of an earlier date

Poorly Matched chicks are Of little

good hatch may be obtained by paying
attention to every detail. The tenn

Animal Husbandry In Tennessee.


The cost of feeding the dairy cow or
the beef animal in Tennessee will vary
from 10 to 20 cents per day. In one
case we may expect two to thee gal
Ions of milk, worth 20 to rs cents a
gallon, and one and a half to two
pounds of butter, worth 20 to rs cents
pound; while in the other, from one
and half to two and half pounds of
beef will be an approximate gain.
These figures should suffice to con-
vince us of the money in these indus
tries. A suitable ration for a dairy
cow would be 80 pounds of silage, 10
pounds of cowpea or clover hay,
pounds of corn meal, pounds of cot
ton seed meal, and S pounds of bran.
For young growing stock we may
use silage, 20 to 80 pounds; cowpea or
clover hay, 10 pounds; cotton seed
meal, pound; bran, 1 pound; corn
meal, 2 pounds. Or IL the farmer has
oats, these may be substituted for
cotton seed meal. 1t may be necessary
to increase the meal ration to six
pounds, depending on the amount of
growth or fat desired and the age of
the animal. Where silage can not be
had, shredded corn fodder may be SUBJ
stituted.
For beef production the following ra-
ton will answer when the animals are
to be put on the market within four
months, and where winter feeding is
pursued: Silage, 80 pounds; cowpea or
clover hay,10 to Is pounds; corn meal,
to s pounds; cotton seed meal, 2 to 4
pounds. Oats and bran may be SUBJ
stituted for cotton seed meal, if these
food stuffs are cheaper and are at
hand. In place Of silage, shredded corn
fodder may be used for beef produc-
tion.-Andrew M. Soule, Tennessee Ex-
