CARE OF YOUNG STOCK.
Plenty of Exercise Necessary to
Keep Them Growing.

The care includes the manner of feed
ing troughs, feed racks, curing of the
hay and gathering Of the crops, says a
stock raiser in Kansas Farmer In the
manner of feeding growing stock it is
very essential to have the feed in the
best condition. mean by that it
should be clean and free from mold
and clean utensils to feed from and in.
The feed should be fresh and as clean
as possible from dirt Being regular in
time of feeding is an important point.
Another thing is the amount fed each
time.
l had great deal rather feed too lit
tie than too much. This is true in
young growing stock. 1t is very neces-
sary that they are kept hungry and ac-
tive, because 1t is through vital power
that they digest and assimilate the
food given them, and unless they are
allowed to become hungry between
feeding times they will lay around too
much to develop their muscles and vi
tai organs. So my plan is to feed ali
they will eat clean twice n day and
then have a yard big enough that they
can exercise and play in. Did you ever
think how much good play does an ami
NAL? l am sure you all have noticed
that all our young animals play a great
deal If they are doing well.

The AnRora Goat,

In some of the western states they
are getting about as excited over the
Angora goat as they have been over the
Belgian hares. In fact, the goat is the
older excitement Of the two, as first
importRtions were made In 1S49 and
the next In 1866, when seven head
were brought to California. These
were from Turkey, and in 1893 and
1899 new blood was secured from
South Africa. The fleece, or mohair.
is second only to silk in flneness and
luster, and articles made from 1t are
more lasting than silk. Twice as much
of It was imported from Turkey and
South Africa last year as was produc-
ed in this country; also about 25,000,-
900 goatskins. The flesh Is said to be
often sold as mutton, but more nearly
resembles venison In grain and flavor,
with the fats distributed through the
meat instead of placed on the outside,
as with the sheep. The goats are much
priced as clearers of brush land. While
they are pretty and useful animals we
do not hear of many of them coming
to the eastern states.--American Culti-

CHAMPION SHIRE STALLION HAILsToNE.

q horse that is good enough to be used
in France and in fact in almost every
country must surely be a good one.
George E. Brown of Illinois has this
to say concerning Shres:
The advancement of Shire horse in
terest in this country has been serious
ly retarded by n number of conditions,
for which the breed is blameless. First
of all is the one | have referred to on
different occaslons-viZ, the wide diff
ference between the selling price in
England of strictly first class sound
animals and that of inferior unsound
ones. The best English breeders will
not patronize inferior or unsound stall
lions on any terms. Hence they must
find n foreign market for them, for II
castrated they would not bring the
price of third class geldings. This
fact accounts for so many of that class
OF Shres finding their way to America.
Second, Shlres In America have not
had the undivided efforts of individual
importers In pushing them to the
front, which Is the case with other
breeds. With few exceptions the
men who are importing Shires have
also one or two more competing breeds,
hence cannot consistently argue with
much force on the strong points OF the
Shire without hurting their other in
terests. In fact, they know they can
not afford to bring the highest type of
Shire or else their other horses would
suffer by close comparison. l know of
Atstan hn a1N
brought over inferior Shires and kept
them solely to support their claims of
superiority for their favorites by COM
parisOn.
Again, Shlres have suffered from the
lack of concerted effort of their vari-
GUS owners, which has been enjoyed
by other breeds. On the contrary,
there has been an unhealthy rivalry
and jealousy among Shire importers
almost from the very first.

MISS ROOSEVELT LIKED.
Daughter of the President Makes
Laundry Girls Happy.

Groton, Mass. Feb, 20.---The
daughter of the president seems to have
aroused more interest in the minds of
the country folk in Groton and Ayre
than did Mr.. Roosevelt himself. There
were more visitors around the school
today than duringthe entire time when
the President was making his home at
mansion. Miss Roose- he Gardner
velt's popularity was given great
boom by the laundry girls employed
at the school. Last night she wa
walking across the lawn when she met
party of six girls from the laundry.
One of them more courageous than the
rest, approached the daughter of the
White House and said. Miss
Roosevelt, would you mind shaking
hands with me? l have heard so much
about you"
"Why of course you can," she said.
81 am very glad to see you girls. And
so you are Miss Edith Edwards? l
shall not forget you"
At Miss Roosevelt's request the
other girls came forward, and the
President s daughter chatted with them
for more than twenty minutes, making
six Groton young women extremely
happy.
Miss Roosevelt is looking forward
to the prominent part she is to take at
the coming festivities in con-
nection with the launching OF
the Kaiser's yacht with considerable
trepidation. To be the cynosure of
all eyes she knows will be trying
ordeal, and her apprehension is not
in the least lesseaed by the fact that
she has received more than hundred
letters strongly protesting and advis-
ing her against the use of champaign
in the christening ceremonies.

OVER 1000 TEACHERS
Kansas Schools are Well Supplied
with Teachers.

Topeka, Feb. 9.-According to the
reports made to Frank Nelson, State
superintendent of Public Instruction,
by the county uperintendents over
the state, II, l75 persons were examin-
ed last year for teachers certificates.
OF this number 3404 failed to come up
to the required standard and were re-
iected. OF the others, 657 were award.
ed first grade certificates, 1929 were
given second grade certificates, 5,237
were granted third grade certificates,
while 444 had to content themselves
with temporary certificates. That the
corps of teachers changes greatly each
year can easily be seen from the fact
that 2, 720 of those granted certificates
had no previous experience in teach
ing,
The average age of the teachers en-
ployed in the state is 2l years. The
average in the different counties does
not vary greatly. The youngest
teachers employed are in Logan,
Rocks and Shawnee counties where
the average age is but 10 years. The
Oldest teachers are employed in Nor
ton, Stevens and Woodson counties
where the average is 25 years.
There are IL, ops teachers actively
employed in educational work in the
state. These hold certificates as fol.
lows:
State certificates, 1893; normal, 465
first grade, l,235; second grade, 1850
third grade, 1891; temporary, 274.

BREEDING OF SWINE.
Errors to Avoid In Making Selection
of AnImnIa.

OF Animals.
Professor w. j. Kennedy of the Uni
versity Of Illinois, discussing swine
breeding, said:
Too much attention cannot be paid
to the proper mating of breeding ami
mails in order to secure good results.
This will apply more to the selection Of
the sire than the sows, for his influ-
ence is very great in the herd and will
determine to very large extent the
type OF the whole herd. Avoid the
common error of today in selecting a
fine boned hog. Progeny from such a
sire will not bear up the load of
well developed body, particularly when
being transported to market. In max
Ing the selection of sire always bear
In mind the type you already have in
your herd on the part of the sows. Are
they too long in the body, too high Off
the ground, too fine in the bone, too
short in the body, lacking in constitu-
ton? Select boar of the opposite
type to correct these evils. cannot
lay too much stress upon the matter of
judicious mating.
The evil results which follow in or
close breeding are numerous and very
marked. A weakened constitution gen
orally results, and thus the animal be-
comes more susceptible to disease.
Sterility oftentimes follows such
method of breeding, as does deteriora-
tion in the size Of the animal. When
animals are strong in constitution and
of good size, an in cross may prove
beneficial, but it should not be indulg-
ed in too often, for undesirable results
are sure to follow it's continued use.
A grade sire should never be used,
no matter how good an individual he
may he. To use such a sire Is gam
bling on the part of the breeder, for
there are nine chances of his being
failure to one of his proving satisfac-
tory. Such n sire lacks prepotency,
which is the power to reproduce his
like with any degree of certainty. Al
ways bear in mind that the sire is half
the herd. Thus 1t is of vital impor-
tance that he be a good individual,
with the best blood possible in his
veins.

horses compares the two breeds in a

There Is no doubt the Scotch and
English horses, the best ones Of the
two breeds, strongly resemble each
other, but the average Clydesdale does
not have that clean, bony head, high
carriage, well sprung rib and short
back, and with regard to the Shire's
legs, why, he is the largest boned horse
of any breed. 1t is a common thing
to find a Shire stallion measure II

everything TO be desired in a draft
