THE R
1t Has Changed Within the Past De-
cade and Working Along Old
Lines Pays No Longer

With the revival of horse breeding as
a profitable industry the fact must be
recognized hat there has come a com
-plete revolution in this business. The
old methods will no longer prove prof
liable. We must raise for profit dis
tinct types of horses for the market,
and not generally all-round useful
horses. We must define in our minds
the different types of horses in de-
mand, and then work toward the pro-
duction of the best specimens of one
or more of these types. These types,
briefly stated, are the road, carriage
and coach horse, the cab horse, the
draft horse, and the American trotter
or road horse. One of these types
should be selected in breeding horses
for market, and the peculiar character
istics of each one studied and carefully
understood. Breeding for a specific
class is the only kind that pays to-day.
The man who breeds on the old lines
is doomed to failure. His horses will
bring SO much less in the market that
there will be no margin left for profits.
One reason why horses become a drug
in the market ten years ago was be-
cause farmers and breeders produced a
surplus of horses which had no partic-
ular characteristics. They were not
specially good in any line. Then a de-
mand slowly grew up for horses which
would excel in one particular class,
and this has steadily increased until to-
day it has become universal. The evo-
luton in breeding has thus made it
necessary for the farmer and breeder
to know his particular class of horses
thoroughly. Promiscuous breeding
does not pay, but special class or type
breeding does. Every horse must be
bred for a particular purpose, and if
at the beginning the animal does not
promise any good points for a particu-
lar purpose, the sooner you can dis
pose of him the better. The small
horse, and the horse of mixed vir-
tues. has passed forever, and his day
will never return. Breed /e large
horse that is useful for particular lines
on hauling, the road or coach horse
which can travel well with a fair load,
or the trotter which can make speed.
In n of these classes every horse
must excel or he cannot bring the high
market prices offered. Premiums are
daily offered for the best animals of
any class.-C. L. PETERS, in Prairie
Farmer.

board floor is very desirable, since it
permits the use of this when the grass
ground would be moist. The smooth
floor also affords a splendid chance
for children to play in wet weather,
or indeed in any weather, since their
clothing will become soiled much less
easily when playing OF such a floor
than upon grass ground or gravel.
This place can also be made to shell
ter a hammock, stretching this from
one corner to an opposite corner. The
roof frame should, of course, be
braced in the same direction as that
occupied by the hammock, running
a two by three strip of lumber from
the top of n corner post to the top
of the n opposite; also placing a
similar piece between the tops of the
other two opposite orner The cloth
gables should be fitted to the frame
and tackled in position, after which the
roof, side and end flaps GALL in one
piece can be stretched into position,
and held in place either by lacking or
by cords through eyelet holes and tied
about the frame.-Country Gentle

sizes a Yale victory ION general prin-
ciples" as in the old days.
Yale's spirit is as fine as ever, but
she begins to suffer from lack of
numbers. The second college in
America in age, Yale is about the
tenth in numbers, and of course it
is harder to get specialists for ali
kinds of games from $500 students
than it is for Harvard from 5000 or
Columbia from 5000. Counting all
who uphold college honors in base
ball, football, rowing, basketball,
tennis, golf, indoor and track ath-
%letics, with the necessary substitutes,
Yale needs 800 athletes in the upper
classes besides 100 in the freshman
class, as a reserve for future con-
tests; add another hundred who
might become athletes but for the
desire to become proficient in studies.
OF to represent the college as debat-
ers, chess players o. in other in
tellectual contests. This is possible
where numbers are considerable.
Princeton has fewer, but Princeton
does not go in for rowing at all, and
can combine forces upon football and
gymnastic work.
Again, Yale, quite as much as Har-
ward, is now the college of very rich
New Workers; and the young men
who formed the briefly famous "Yale
Criminal Club" will not do much
either in athletics or in studies. One
Yale student is more famous for hav-
ing lost a hundred thousand dollars
at Canfeld's gambling house than for
any other feat except that of having
been born a Vanderbilt.

bronze Grass Beats Timothv.

Bronze grass and timothy were
grown at the North Dakota station
to compare the yields of green grass
and to study their relative value for
hay, considering their yield and chem
ical composition. In five cuttings dur
ing the season bronze grass Welded
5,537.6 pounds of green grass, or
1888 pounds of dry matter per acre,
n timothy 4,6s1.6 pounds of green
forage, or 1,422.s pounds of dry mat
ter. The results were decidedly in
favor of bronze grass for permanent
pasture. Bronze hay contained about
twice as much protein as timothy.
and no more fiber than the average
for timothy grown in different parts
OF the country. Owing to it's larger
root system, bronze grass is consid-
cred a better humus producer and
soil improver than timothy.

ten years has there been such a rush
to Uncle Sans land. Almost 100000
came in one day. Seventy-three thou
sand came in April. Many are at
tracted by the news of the subway
that New York is digging, and of the.
tremendous amount of work upon

cleverly played upon by immigration,
agents.
The west would hardly know by exc
perience of the influx. Between 1882
and 1890 As per cent. of the immi-
grants went to the northern central:
states. During the past ten years
only nine per cent. went thither. The
result was seen in the census of 1900,-

Jersey gets almost as many as Illi--
nois.
Even the Italians, who for years
led in number among immigrants, are.
now passed by Huns, Russians ami
Slavs. The Finnish immigration.
which is of a good class, is beginning
to slacken because a pretty good pro-
portion of the Films are already
here.
The finished year will probably
have seen as many immigrants land

Ration for Young Turkex.

Feed the young turkeys stale wheat
and corn bread. A few hard-boiled
eggs mixed in the bread with a little
salt and pepper is good for the first
week. Don't forget to give them
plenty of grit in the way of sand
mixed with their feed or broken
shells, dishes OF lime rock. The nam
thing to keep turkeys healthy and
growing fat is to keep them clear of
lice. Commence on the old hen be-
fore they are Matched. Dust the hen
twice a week with ashes and a few
drops of coal oil added, grease the
hen and young turkeys as soon as
they are Matched with fresh butter
or lard with a drop or two of coal
oil to every teaspoonful.

Feeding Soy Beans to Hop.

Prof. c. +. Curtis, Of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station recommends thatifa
person has, cora, soy beans and shorts
to feed to a sow with pigs, the best way
is to grind the corn and beans and feed
with the shorts in the form of slop.
The proportion recommended is rs
pounds of corn, 60pounds of shorts and
Is pounds of soy beans. Two feeds a
day of soaked corn is also recommend
ed. Soy beans are a new feed, and it
will do no harm to use even a small
er proportion until the sow and
pigs are used to 1t if ii has never been
fed. The feed should be mixed when
dry and made into a slop later. This
will insure better mixing and more sat
isfactory results.
