Note. on the Hor.e Supply.

F. J. Berry tells The Farmers Re
view that the present outlook for
prices for horses is very good. We
have at the present time dearth of
salable horses and are sure to have
continuance of that dearth for at least
three years to come. The last full
crop of colts was in 1894. The next
year the supply was very short, and
the same was true of the years 1896
and 1897. The colts born during those
years are just coming into the markets
now, and the supply Of young horses
is therefore short, with no chance of
an immediate increase. The colt crop
of 1898 was an improvement over the
previous year and the 1899 crop was
still better. In 1900 the number of
colts dropped was fairly good. These
colts, however, will not begin to come
into the market till 1903, and some Of
them will not be brought in before
1906. The years 1902, and will see
the horse market taking everything
fairly good it can get hold of and TAX
ing it at a good price, too.
Most of the horses are now shipped
into market by professional buyers
men that go through the counties and
pick up all the animals they can that
they think will bring an advance in
Chicago. The shipments by the in
dividual farmers are thing of the
past. This arises partly from the
scarcity of horses and partly from the
fact that the professional horse
buyer is not a good judge of the kind
of horses the market demands. Year
by year the market is demanding more
of a class horse and becoming more
exacting as to certain characteristics.
The above applies to the common
horses raised by the farmers. The
great well-bred, well-fitted draft horses
are so scarce that they are not much
of factor when numbers are consid-
cred. When a horse fit for export
comes into the yards he is at once
followed to the stable by several buy
ers, each anxious to get possession of
him. Under such conditions prices
cannot help being good. The market
quickly leafs up" the heavy draft
horse.
There is considerable hope in the
situation from the fact that the farm
ers are everywhere waking up to the
fact that class horses are wanted and
are the money makers. They are
therefore breeding their mares to stall
lions that are the representatives of
the classes rather than to anything
that comes along. as In the past

Fall Forage.

Wherever possible catch crops
should be put in this summer for fall
use. The shortness of the pastures and
general feed supplies may be to some
extent overcome by crops put in now. A
few good rains will start them and in
a few weeks give a supply Of forage
that will prove very valuable in any
case, and especially if the late fall pas
lures prove poor.
The crops that are now growing can
be used to advantage at this time, If it
be found that they will not produce a
crop of grain. 1t is better to commence
to feed now than to let the stalks of
corn, sorghum or Kafir corn dry up,
with the idea of using them next win
ter. Now they are succulent, and when
the pastures are dry will prove very
valuable for feed. They will relieve the
pastures of part of their burden and
will permit the hay TO be saved for
winter feeding. When corn has begun
to dry up before forming ears it is
better to feed it at once, as that is
about the only way by which anything
can be obtained from it. 1t is too poor
for drying. About it's only value is as a
succulent food

A young Cleveland woman who
teaches Sunday school class told her
small flock several Sundays ago about
the long journey of the children of
Israel on their way to the Promised
Land. She described the march of the
column through the wilderness, and
told how the priests walked behind the
vanguard bearing their sacred burdens.
Last Sunday she thought she would
discover how much of this lesson the
little fellows remembered. To her
chagrin the first boy she asked remem-
bered nothing about 1t.
"Come. now" she said; ''some of

The present drouth is of such sever
ity that corn will not, in many cases,
furnish ears to pay for husking, and
from the grain standpoint the loss is
great. The stalks. however, will fur
nish much valuable feed, especially
that of early planted or early matur-
ing varieties.
While the cured dry forage Will be
valuable for winter feed, this is an APP
propriate time for farmers to build
silos and fill them with green corn.
They thereby secure palatable succu-
lent food for winter use, or during
drouth. AT this time, no better use of
the corn crop can be suggested.
silo can be built without great ex-
pense or trouble. The Indiana station
has just constructed a silo that holds
about 65 tons. 1t is IL feet in dame
ter, and % feet high. Studs 16 and IL
feet long of 2x4 pine, were placed YER
tically end to end, long and short al
ternating to break joints and II inches
from center to center, on a circu-
lar brick foundation, two layers deep.
NO. pine fencing l inch by 6 inch by
16 feet was then resawed to make
boards " inch by inches by 16 feet,
and these dressed to make them lay
true. These were then nailed around
on the inside against the studs, form
ing circle, two men bending them in
to place and mailing on. First one lay
er was nailed up for a space, then
tarred paper was laid over this layer,
and this was followed by another lay
er of half-inch stuff, breaking joints
with that underneath. Four doors
were left at convenient intervals, the
width between studs and about IL
inches high. Boards and tarred paper
may be laid in these doorways, the
ends tapping against the studs, when
the silo is filled. No roof is provided
or necessary.
Such a silo is strong and inexpen-
sive, and will preserve the contents in
good condition. This one cost without
boarding the outside of the studs,
slightly under $4,000, not including la
bor Lumber is very high priced here,
so the cost would be much less in
many places.
This silo is simple of construction
and may be built by any good farm
laborers. 1t will be well for our Amer
lean farm economy if more silos are
constructed and stricter economy is
followed in saving the crops, and more
especially the corn plant.
1t is now too late to plant COW peas
or soy beans or other ordinary crops
furnishing roughage. Rape, however.
may be planted as late as September l,
and considerable forage provided.
Flat, white turnips may also be sown,
and quite a harvest be possible for
late fall and winter. Barley, oats or
rye sown during the next few weeks,
should furnish valuable late pasture
