The Farmers Horse.

An inquirer in your July number
asks what kind of horse is the best
for a farmer to raise, stating his mares
weigh $50 pounds. If he is not able to
buy both larger mares and horse Of
the same type. let him buy pure bred
Percheron stallion and breed his small
mares to him, and he will find great
Improvement in size and farm useful
ness. Keep his mare colts and contin-
ue breeding to the large horse, increas-
ing the size each cross. Once he be-
gins using large horses he will have
no other, and should he be fortunate
enough to raise one he thinks too large,
he will have no difficulty in disposing
Of it at a remunerative price. No coun-
try is better adapted to raising horses
than this. Color has but little to do
with the selling qualities Of a first
class heavy horse, and these are the
only horses that can be bred with any
certainty of getting what you breed
for. Some farmers in the West pre-
fer some Of the other draft breeds. but
the Percheron, as draft horse, stands
higher in America than any other.
They are kind, gentle and easily brok-
en- to work anywhere, and consume as
little feed as any horse doing the same
amount and kind Of work. If. as he
says, he wants to buy some mares, he
will find the best ones in the hands of
farmers, who believe in keeping that
kind, and to be induced to dispose OF
them a fancy price must be offered.
II he is at all doubtful as to the utility
of heavy horses on the farm, let him
buy q pair and plow them along with
a pair of small ones, and he will need
no further argument. By all means,
let him keep away from grade stall
lions. Cheap grade stations have cost
cur csuntry untold wealth, and all
such Should be prohibited by statute.

BOYCOTT IS MADE ALL.INCLUSlYE
An Extreme Step Taken by the Strike
Leaders at Chicago, Indicating Their
Packing Establishments Whatsoever
Brought Under the Ban.

Chicago, Special.-"A meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although it may not be
welcomed by the independents.
In these words President Donnelly, Of
the butchers national organization, de-
clared a boycott against all meat and
announced that union men will quit
in all packing establishments this af-
tcrnoon regardless Of where live stock
is secured
Donnelly's announcement was made
at the conclusion of a meeting Of the
allied trades conference board.
The executive board of the Retail
Meat Dealers Association Of Chicago
had just been in conference with Mr..
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for the
independent packers and to seek au-
thority to attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers anu
representatives of the strikers.
BY ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and adopting such an aggres-
sive step, the strike leaders demon
srrated the intention to make it fight
to finish. Indications are that the
FIVE independent packers within the
stockyards enclosure will join the big
packers in their fight. while those out
side will endeavor to continue opera
ton with union crews. Within the
yards the Independents are obviously
preparing for war, wagon load OF
cots having been taken to one plant.

stockyards station to date reads: AS
