Draft Horses Are in Demand.

The heavy bodied horses with active
limbs are now scarce in the great
Northern markets. therefore are COM
manding 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.
Draftcrs are useful and will bring top
Of the market price
The Southern Agiculturist would
impress the stock grower with the
fact that the size and vigor Of the mare
has more to do in producing heavy,
healthful colt than the sire. Therefore
the mare weighing 1900 pounds is the
one tat will be best to breed to 4
heays@ horse and will produce the most
sahS0le colt. A mare weighing 700 to
$50 pounds cannot deliver draft
horse. A light mare should not Ec

farms in the South are deficient i'll

high as 1000 pounds. Such anir:diS

What to Do With Horse Hides.

When a good fat horse dies on the
farm as a rule he is dragged off half
mile 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 can be removed in
two hours. and So will certainly pay
for that much time.
What are the uses of horse hides you
may ask? They make fine strong
leather and the reader may have on Il
pair of shoes made from horse hide.
Horse hides are used also for the
manufacture of gloves and mittens.
and in okbinding. and there is made
of it an imitation buckSkin. Horse
hide is used in making whiplaShes,
and some parts Of it are used for max
ing ShopStringS: it is uSel for carriage
leather. in covering seats and so on.
HOrsehide is much thinner than cow
hide.
The next horse that dies on your
farm skin him at once and take his
body to the farm and cover with dirt.
and there will be one dollars worth
of ammonia added to the land where
he returns TO earth.

Equal to the Occasion.

AS one of the few occasions when
the wit of Rufus Choate was foiled,
an incident is recalled when that bril-
liant lawyer was examining one Dick
Barton, mate of the good ship Chal-
lenge. Choate had cross-examined the
sailor for over an hour, hurting ques-
tions with the speed of rap:d-fire
gun.
WAS there a moon that night?"
Yes, sir"
Did you see it,"
mo, sir"
Then how do you know there was
a moon?"
"The Nautical Almanac said SO,
and III believe that sooner than any
lawyer in the world
BE civil, sir"
And now tell me in what latitude
and longitude you crossed the eQua-
tori"
"Ah, you are joking"

Profits in Angora Goats.

The popularity of the AnSora goats
continues on the increase. and they are
becoming the subject Of conversation
around the fireside in the rural homes.
They are as profitable as sheep. and
sheep stand highest on the farm.
Their fleece. called mOhair. commands
a ready sale. being manufactured into
dress goods. braids and plushes used in
upholstering furniture and railWa!
cars.
The meat of the Angora compares
favorably with the best of mutton.
Their pelts are tanned on the flesh side.
leaving the long, curly hair on, can be
made into rugs, dyed any color and
worn as trimmings to ladies' apparel.
The Angoras will clean up the weeds,
briars and underground on farm and
at the same time enrich the land. Pure
bucks crossed upon the common goat
will in few years develop valuable
flock. Try breeding these beautiful
animals. ,a.sa.

the land as for Il corn crop ard set the
rows three feet apart and drop the
sets two feet apart in the rows. Five
or six bushels of sets will plant an

times during growth. The hogs will
harvest the tuberS for themselves in the

Goats and sheep.

While AngOra goats and improved
mutton sheep are in such demand,
farmers owning nilly or mountain
lands can make them very profitable
by growing goats and sheep. These
animals will clean up the shrubs on the

the finest of grasses. AS cotton goods
have gone up, people will turn more
