THE HORSE TO RAISE.

The One Par Excellence For the
Farmer-AIways Has Big Value.
Draft horses of good form sell al
most according to weight, except that
as weights increase prices rise at a
much greater ratio SO that extreme
weights bring enormous prices If only
the bone is satisfactory. Prices range
from 1925 to $500, with an occasional
one higher and with an increase Of
about 10 per cent when matched in
teams. These prices are sometimes
exceeded, and dealers insist that prices
were never so low that span of draft
horses would not bring 5000 II only
they were good enough.
This is par excellence the horse for
the farmer to raise Only the blood of
the best draft breeds and the heaviest
and best boned stations Is suitable.
Even then the demand for extreme
weights necessitates the use of large
mares that are good mixers. In no
other way can colts be produced with
sufficient bone and feeding quality to
attain the size and finish demanded by
the markets. Even then the youngster
must be supplied with the best of feed
in large amounts from the very first
Plenty Of good pasture, clover hay,
oats and corn is imperative, and there
is no better feed for young horses than
green corn cut from the field and fed
whole. Only the best blood should be
used, and then every effort must be
made to keep the horse gaining from
the first If he Is to top the market.
All this Is much like growing beef.
and these are the horses to produce on
the farms. They can be produced no.
where else to advantage. and when 1t
Is remembered that the draft horse s
really the highest priced standard horse
in the market 1t Is easy enough to see
what horse the farmer should raise
He not only sells for more average
money, but If bred with the same care
there are fewer culls. and no training
is required beyond light common work
to famillarlze him with the harness
and with drawing. The disposition of
the draft horse is so docile and his an
cestors have labored so long that he
works almost by instinct, and he re-
quires no special training to go upon
the markets.-E. Davenport.

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is In poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw off
the poisons that accumulate in it. The

When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or

indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local

extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
