which frequently appear, even on colts
that are carefully cared for. The draft
horse can be broke at the age Of two
years and made self-supporting until
he is mature and ready for market.
Follow a definite plan in breeding. Ev-
cry farmer should attempt to produce
horses of some definite type, such as
the market demands, and this can only
be done by deciding on the breed or
type one cares to raise, and then reso-
lutely sticking to it.
In speaking of the draft horse, Prof.
Kennedy, of the Iowa state college,
said: 49,
The type of draft horse that the
market wants is horse weighing l.
GOO pounds or over in ordintry work
ing condition, a deep-bodied, broad,
close-coupled, massive horse, with
powerful loins and hindquarters. He
should be deep and wide in the chest
to insure rugged constitution. His
legs should be we'll set, with clean,
dense bone, sloping pasterns, and his
feet should be large, round, wide at
the heels, and of fair depth, especially
at the heels. It is well to remember
the old Scotch motto:
Feet and legs, bone and feather,
Tops may come, but bottoms never"
For without good feet and legs the
best bodied draft horse in the world
would be practically useless. Good
action is also a prime requisite, for
with all other things equal the horse
that walks four miles per hour with
ease is of far more value than the one
that can not take this pace, and good
action is also invariably associated
with good constitution.-Texas Farm
and Ranch.

SHEEP ON THE FARM
The Breeder should Select the Type
OF His Choice and Then
stick to 1t.

In starting out to raise sheep, q
breeder should have clearly in mind
what breed and type he wishes to
raise, then stick to it, come what may.
Cross breeding and changing from one
breed to another gives no definite re-
suits. With pure-bred sheep, type
may sometimes change little.
Now suppose we have good bunch
of ewes of the breed we want; we, will
mate them to ram with masculine
eye and head, with short, thick neck,
wide and deep chest, back and loins,
wide and straight, and well covered
with lean meat, rump wide and long,
twist plumb, and fleece of good quality
and dense. Too much pains can not
be given in selecting ram, as on MIN
depends by far the greater part OF the
improvement of the flock.
A common flock of ewes can in a
short time be graded up to first-class
sheep by always using the very best
of sires and selecting and culling with
judgment.
We breed our ewes so that they
start lambing about March 1. We di-
vide the ewes into flocks of so to Is
each, and then turn in one ram to each
flock. II the focks are anywhere near
home we take the ram out after he has
been with them for an hour or two, as
we find that the ram will hold his
flesh better and the ewes get with
lamb sooner than if the ram is allowed
to run with them continually. The
ewes should be tagged before turning
in the ram, if any are dirty, which is
also help to the ram in getting the
ewes with lamb.
The ram should also be in good flesh,
well fed and cared for at mating time

Turning Cows ON Youn,r Rye.

The practice of turning cows on
young rye in the fall is q good one, but
when the ground is very wet, damage
may result. Grazing the rye causes 1t
to stool, and the young rye provides
green food; but while the rye field
may be used for the cows in the fall,
they should not be turned on too early
in the spring. It does not do SO much
harm for cows to change from grass to
rye, as it does from dry food in spring
to the young rye.-Farmers' Home
