Draft Horses Scarce.

1T has often been asked why good
draft horses are so scarce. The reason
is apparent. During the financial de-
preston of 1898 to 1896, values dropped
so low that farmers generally discon-
tinued breeding operations and the
cheap prices stimulated expectation to
Belgium, Germany and England. The
shortsightedness of farmers is the pri-
mary cause of the present scarcity of
draft animals, as the outlook decade
ago appeared to foreshadow lighter
demand. An almost irreparable injury
was done to the industry by the farm
ers selling the bulk of their best draft
mares in their eagerness to dispose of
a surplus which had become unprofit-
able and burdensome. Breeders sold
their best mares in their haste to UNI
load a large surplus. No one wanted
the inferior kinds and nondescripts
were unsaleable at any price except for
killing purposes.
Times are like the fluctuations Of the
disturbed ocean or the unevenness
diversifying the topography of the
earth. The surface is diversified with
lofty mountains and deep valleys pro-
phetic of Industrial movements. When

1T requires about the same amount
OF feed to produce a pound of flesh
on steer as on sheep The inveSti-
gators show that to be true as rule.
But sheep will thrive on weeds and
grass that cattle will not touch, and
When the fact is remembered that
sheep produce clip of wool every year
IN addition to mutton the balance is in
favor of sheep.
Ii IS often said that it does not pay
! to raise sheep on high priced land. Il
tnat is true then it does not pay to
raise cattle or hogs on the same land.
1t costs no more, pound for pound, for
one than the other.
Fat lambs always find ready sale at
good prices, and choice lambs are gen.
orally scarce at high prices If lambs
are kept till they grow fleece the price
of the wool is generally the profit OF
the sheep over the fat COW or the fat
steer. OF course sheep will not fatten
on weeds or brush. or thrive in cold,
wet lots upon neglect. But they will
show up in the sales pens favorably
with steers or cows if they are given
the same feed and the same care, or
even less.
Sheep can be fattened in less time
than cattle. 1t is generally found that
the steer is not finished in 100 days.
but must be topped off with about two
weeks extra feeding. The sheep can
be ready and prime for the market In
100 days.
Sheep return more fertility to the
soil than any other animal. The cattle
men on the big western farms are just
beginning to find out. and many of
them, particularly in Texas, have sold
their cattle and gone into the sheep
business. These same men were shoot
ing up the sheep men on the ranges
only few years ago at that.
Sheep are the friends Of the small
farmer who has none too much money
and cannot afford to go into cattle.
Our people are learning to like NUT
ton because our farmers are learning
how to grow and fatten 1t, and the
demand will increase rapidly. There is
no doubt that sheep can be raised with
profit on any farm where cattle and
hogs can be made to pay
We do not believe that any regularly
conducted livestock farm is too rich
for a flock Of sheep. It is certainly
true that the land with much poor soil
cannot afford to get along without the
flock. On the land whose owner Is
addicted to the grain growing habit.
caring very little for live stock and
their uses, the flock might be profit
ably maintained. where other stock
might be out Of the question. Their
advantage lies principally in the fact
that they are easily confined and fed
to advantage upon the vegetation that
would otherwise go to waste. In the
case of the noxious weeds the proper
ton that were destroyed would depend
largely upon the number Of sheep ana
the scarcity Of better feeding.

-teat financial Institutions in all parts
of the country were going into the
hands of the receivers and falling prices
of all agricultural products distressed
the farming industry, it was but natur-
al that breeders should infer that the
future demand for draft horses would
never be of proportions to return rea-
scnable profit in raising them. Plt
the vibration of the pendulum of time
brought prosperity. The dull times re-
acted into unparalleled activity and
great national industries We're inaugur-
ated in all sections of the country, the
opera tons of which demand the use of
draft horses. Prices commenced to ad-
vance and. values OF domestic consump-
ton reached a level which prohibited
profitable expectation.
For four years there has been n
steady appreciation of values for draft
animals which eliminated in the sensa-
tionaI prices of $500 to $3.50 for fancy of
ferings at the Chicago market the cur
rent season. 1t is most unfortunate for
the agricultural interests of the coun :.
try that when prices are so phenonle-
nally high but moderate surplus
exists to supply the demand. There has
been Rip Van Wrinkle resurrection CT
the industry after it's inertia of nearly
decade and farmers everywhere are
once more reused to activity to exploit
the industry by the current high prices
and the encouraging prospects OF the
domestic and foreign demand. The best
draft stations in Europe have been inn
ported during the past four years to
improve the quality of our domestic
horses. The standard of breeding has
been elevated and the outlok is propit-
ious for the draft horse industry o. the
west and northwest, which furnishes
the bulk Of the horses which supply the
domestic and export trade.
The motto should be to breed only
the best for in high quality is where
the greatest profit lies In the industry.
Let any skeptical farmer convince him
self of the greater profit in breeding
good draft horses that sell readily at
maturity at SITS to $500 upwards, as
compared with the profit in raising
steers for the market. A well kept
draft foal at 8 years old will sell at $50
to 5000 and how much will steer at
same age command that has been ted
specifically for the block? A simple
problem in the cost of production COM
pared with the selling price at the same
age will demonstrate which kind O:
stock will pay the larger profit over the
cost of production.

KEEP TIE GAME CLEAN.

There has been great revival of in
terest in base ball thruout Iowa this
season. In Marshallown especially the
interest in the new iowa State League
has exceeded the hopes and predictions
of those who We're most active in pro-
noting a professional team for the city.
In the other cities OF the league equal
interest has been awakened and no
league in existence is playing to more
appreciative and enthusiastic crowds.
There is something about clean base
ball that compels the support of the
public. 1t is the common ground of
sport and will hold popular patronage
and meet popular approval as long as
it stays clean but no longer The Iowa
State League has every prospect OF be-
coming a fixed success if it keeps on
playing ball and avoids squabbling and
internal dissension.
The other league cities seem to have
an apology coming from Oskaloosa,
where it was necessary to protect an
umpire against personal attack by
crowd of disappointed losers. Whether
or not the umpire's Judgment was at
fault has nothing to do with the case.
The fact that riot was threatened ana
with difficulty depressed is against the
good name Of Oskaloosa, and menace
to the integrity of the league. The
men who attempted to strike and mob
the umpire should be severely punish
ed Oskalosa owes it to herself and
the league to see this done.
The betting element in base ball
crowds is usually responsible for the
riots. 1t is the losing contingent OF
betters who go hunting for umpires
to inffict personal chastisement. Doubt
less that was the cause of the trouble In
Oskaloosa. The game would be far bet
ter il betting might be eliminated
There is only one way to play. base
hall successfully and hold the people
and that is the Glenn way. The baby
act by towns or teams or managers
makes against the game. Managers re-
fusing to play. crowds attacking UNI
hires and the general introduction OF
kicking" and knocking" are elements
of disruntion and should be cut out.
It is safe to say that the man or mob
that attempts violence to an umpire
at Marshalltown will be entirely salts
fed with the first attempt, and oska-
loosa should make such an example OF
it's rioters as would settle the matter
for all time in that city. Keep the
game clean.

Sheep on the Farm.

There are not many farms either too
the farm pay. We believe that this
simple proposition has been proven on
every farm where they have been given
at least moderate care. Writers at
various times have lauded the possible
fties Of the flock. Odd as it may
seem, the subject has not been exhaus-
ted. So productive Of profit to the
purse and fertility to the soil is the
sheep that great deal may be said
and remain within the limits of reas-
on. While the flock may be made to
prosper under many unfavorable cir
cumstances, still they need some at
tention. Even the shiftless farmer can
make something out OF sheep, but still
there are limits that even the sheep
cannot grow profitably. However, a
man may succeed with sheep. we be-
lieve, who is so shiftless that he might
entirely fail with horses cattle or
hogs.
One of the first essentials is good
stock. We no not necessarily mean
pure bred stock, but well bred individ-
uals. To illustrate how simple this
may be one need only look about him
self in almost every community and
find one or more fiocks that have grad
ually bred into first class grade stock
by the introduction of pure bred or
high grade rams of some first class
mutton breed, and by following
course of breeding for a series Of
years with vigorous, Seryiceable rams
from the same breed. To show what
NAV be done with a flock in compari-
son with other stock, we will quote
from letter from correspondent who
is evidently strong admirer of the

beautiful flower and planted number
of specimens in the park gardens. 1t

dandelion was pulled up with Ions

to wither away in ignominy.
The whole difference between the two
plants was that the foreign Importation
