THE HORSE TO RAISE.
The One Pnr Excellence For the
Farmer--Alvays NnH Bix Value,

Out h-ur EAceIenCe FOr the
Farmer-AlSvays unH Bix 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 tliat extreme
weights bring enormous prices II only
the bone ls satisfactory. Prices range
from S1oo 10 $500. with an occasional
one higher and with nm Increase of
about 10 per cent when matched In
teams. These prices are sometimes
exceeded and dealers Insist that prices
We're never 50 low that n span of draft
horses would not bring 5000 IL 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
aud best boned stations Is suitable.
Even then the demand for extreme
weights nccessltates the use OF large
mares that are good mixers. In no
other way can colts be produced with
sufficient hone and feeding quality to
attain the size and finish demanded by
the markets. Even then the youngsler
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

| where else to advantage. and when II
Is remembered that the draft horse IL
