Draft Horses Are In Demand

The heavy bodied horses with active
limbs are now scarce in the great
Northern markets. therefore are com.
mandlng high prices. The farm chunks
are TOO numerous to meet with ready
sale but the horses weighing 1900 to
1900 pounds are taken up and more
wanted. These suggestions may be
useful to our breeders this spring.
Drafters are useful and will bring top
of the market price.
The Southern Agriculturist wou)d
impress the stock grower with the
fact that the size and vigor of the mare
has more to do in producing a heavy.
heaithful colt than the sire. Therefore
the mare weighing 1900 pounds is the
one that will be best to breed to a
heaVy horse and will produce the most
salable colt. A mare weighing 700 to
stD pounds cannot deliver a draft
horse. 4 light mare should not be
mated to stallion 1900 pounds. The
farms in the South are deficient in
large mares and stations weighing ss
high as 1000 pounds. Such animals

w .iat TO Do With Horse nides

When a good fat horse dies on the
farm as Il rule lie is dragged off half
mic with his hide upon him. The horse
by this process is an entire loss. when
several dollars could have been saved
by taking off his hide. The horse dying
with collie or such diseases does not
impair the value OF the hide. 4 horse
hide OF medium size is worth from 50
to So each. His hide kan be removed in
two hours. and 50 will certainly pay
for flat much time.
What are the uses Of horse hides YOU
may ask: They make fine strong
leather and the reader may have on a
PAIR of shoes made from horse hide.
Horse hides are used also for the
manufacture of gloves and mittens.

OF it an imitation buckskin. Horse

Horsehide is much thinner than cow

The next horse that dies on your
farm skin him at once and take his
body to the farm and cover with dirt.

plain why stock husbandry has not

cause 1t is impossible TO winter feed

Ctility Va. Apnearnnce.

The young breeder should not fail
into the error Of choosing the show ring
model for his ideal brood SOW. Select
for breeder rather than the fair ring.
1t is well known fact that some OF
the best known brood sows. noted as
producing the highest priced show ami
mails. do not have the form themselves
to fill the scale of points required of
prize ring animal. They have a light
ness in the neck and shoulders. extra
iOOminess in the abdomen and little
too much length Of leg and activity TO
make up into square built show ami
mails. 1t is the strong, active SOW full
OF vigor that is likely TO do the best
service in the breeding pen. and not
the Overfed lubber.
When once we find promising
breeder, we have better property than
the average claim in a gold mine, and
it will pay to see that she has proper
attention at all times.

What Alfalfa IL Good For.

1t is excellent for soliEg. that is to
iced ffesh-cut to cows. especially when
the pastures are sun-purnt and the flies
are troublesome. 1t is fine for horses.
AFTER letting 1t sweat few hours. It
fatfens hogs green or as hay. Chick.
ems eat the hay as we'll as green alfalfa.
It makes the very richest and best
hay. and Is as nutritious as bran and
Is good for all kinds Of stock. Sheep
and cattle will fatten on it. 1t comes
early In the spring, can be cut three or
four times and stays green late in the
fall It will live 100 years and will
make poor farms and poor farmers
