LIGHTER HORSES FOR THE FARM
Healthy Little Vermont Morgans, Cen
tie, Willing and Hardy.

There il more or less general sentiment
among farmers in favor of heavy draft
horses for general purpose farm animals.
The American Cultivator thinks the no.
ton which favors this type of horse is a
mistaken one. Such horses it says, serve
excellently well in the heavy trucking of
the city. Here Is where dead weight or
main strength and awkwardness will
count What would pair OF these 1900 or
900 pound horses do on a pillow or harrow
in the spring, when their feet sank in the
mud almost as deep as the plow? They
might not feel the weight of the plow, but
they would feel their own weight before
night. With a pair of the little Vermont
Morgans, the two of them not as heavy as
one of those big fellows, We could draw
"A heavier load through miry place or a
snowdrift than we ever saw pair of those
big ones draw in bad place. And when
on the road they could trot eight or 10
miles an hour or walk four or five miles
on a dirt road, not for one hour only, but
for five or six hours in a day. for as many
days as there are in a week, and that
not in a rubber-tired sulky, but good
honestly made farm wagon with from two
to four persons in it.
That is the kind of horses that used to
be bred III Vermont and sorie of them
not quite as compactly built in Maine and
some of them, a little coarser built,
came here from Canada with legs as
large and hairy as the Clydes. None of
them ever got spavins or crooked knees
or tender feet II they had decent usage,
for they did not go down the street as If
they had taken a contract to pound down
the paving stones.
The breed of these horses cannot be en-
tirely exhausted. There must be some
| farmers who have good brood mares, vet,
and there may be a few stations that have
| the Morgan blood in them. If such can he
bred we venture prediction that in five
years they will be in demand, and I'm 10
years more popular on our New England
farms and billy roads than the heaviest
western bred horse that may be offered
at the sale stables I'm the city. Do not
make the mistake Of trying to put too
much weight into them by trying to bree,i
from the heavy stations, nor too long legs
on them in the hope of getting a two
minute horse, but try to get a good, hon
est, wel-built horse of 1000 to II pounds,
with the disposition of a lamb. the will

RICH STRIKE IN MOHAVE.
New District Discovered Near Peach

Springs, Arizona.
A correspondent writing to the Pres

says: Quite a rich strike has been
made twelve miles south of Peach
Springs in Mohave county, AriZ. Ore
has been found in the contact, between
the slate and granite, running 80 per
cent in copper and $3.50 in gold to the
ton. On one claim free gold mas been
found in a 55-foot shaft. There are ten
claims in the group, all carrying free
gold. One claim showing a three-foot
ledge carrying $50 in gold and 80 per
cent copper; another with a free gold
ledge running from $62.50 to $3.50 per
ton; also a porphyry ledge showing
good values in gold.
Specimens running as high as $500
per ton have been found on the claims.
In Wright creek, near by, there is
plenty OF water for all purposes, in
Guiding milling, etc, also plenty of
timber for fuel purposes. The ten
claims are the only prospects in that
portion of the country. and the outlook
of the camp is flattering indeed. There

TALKS SHEEP.
Fritz Brink, a Chaves County Sheep
man, is Interviewed.
A PROMISING SEASON.

Fritz Brink. superintendent OF the
Salt Creek Sheep company's ranch,
near Roswell, N. NJ, was in Eel Paso for
the purpose of getting men to help
through the Landing season, which
has already commenced and last for a
month. He wants sixty-ive men.
Speaking about the sheep industry
to an FL Paso Herald reporter, Mr..
Brink said:
"The season is a most promising
one: there has been plenty of rain and
snow. but recent cold weather has
kept the grass back.
The sheep business generally is
very promising. Mutton is in demand
and several ouyers have been through
our section recently. We expect to
get IL cents a pound for our next clip
of wool.
THE Landing season soon to begin
is our harde- work and We expect to
take on the ranch 5000 lambs or
about 80 per cent. We have about
$4,000 ewes in our herds, numbering
$4,000.
I'VE have two herds of sheep on the
ranch, the Rambouillet and the Shrop-
shire. OF the, former there are about
1000 ewes and of the latter about 81
900. We find these to be the best
breeds for both mutton and wool. Our
clip of last year averaged seven and a
quarter pounds a head. These breeds
are large and heavy bodied and are
smooth, clean animals. | had two
Rambouillet wethers. eight and a half
months old, fattened on alfalfa and
the weighed 157 pounds each.
The Rambouillets are a cross be-
tween the French Merino and the De-
laine breed, the latter being a smaller
and smoother sheep. The cross is a
very desirable breed. large atrong,
good rustlers and very hardy. We are
now crossing the two breeds on our
ranch and are getting a better grade of
sheep than eve
-Four years ago when the company
bought this ranch there was only the
common mixed breeds there, but we
began breeding up at once. The ten
dency of the sheep industry Is toward
these breeds and away from the wrin-
killed. and greasy Spanish and French
Merinos of a few years ago. The Ram
bouillet is not so heavy ar animal as
the Shropshire, but the cross between
the two is better than either; better
mutton and better wool.
1--WE are not raising any goats, but |
know of several fine herds in New
Mexico, and their owners seem to -e
making money out of them.
That is a good country for goats,
and they can travel on rough ground
better than sheep and can travel far
ther for water. | see some of these
goat raisers have taken the common
goats and bred them to Angora bucks
When they get the grade up to three
quarter Angora they have a good WOO
animal and the flesh Is equal IL not
superior to mutton. | do not know
the price of the wool now, but it has
been as high as 40 and so cents q
pound. The goats sell as mutton and
at the same prices. | look upon the
goat business as a very promising and
growing industry in the southwest"
