Heavier Horses for the Farmer.

Heavier Horses for the Farmer.
The following communication haf
been received from one of our subscrib
ers, Mr.. o. Olson:
The article entitled Breed Heavier
Horses" in late issue of your paper
gave good advice with one or two ex'
ceptions. My first objection is where
you claim that horse weighing from
!, ,450 to /, ZOO pounds will do more work
on the farm than lighter one. While
we are breeding as large horses as we
can. and believe the heavy ones are
what the farmer should raise, yet there
is no question but that the I, 200 to 14OO.
pound horse will do more work on the
farm than the heavy ones. You speak
of the heavy teams for the disc. Last
year we put in 100 acres of corn. We
had two heavy draft teams which we
would work on the disc one day and
the next day we worked two trotting.
bred teams. One team weighed 1900
pounds each and the other !, ,O5O pounds.
The man that ran the disc always want.
ed to work the trotting bred teams,
saying all he had to do with them was
to cit and hold them steady They ap.
peared as fresh at night as At any time
of the day. The draft team got weary
about the middle Of the day and had 70
be urged On.
The next criticism I would make is
when you say to take /, 300 to 1,4OO.
pound mare and breed to q stallion
weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds and you
will usually produce horse weighing
1900 to 1900 pounds At one time I
figured it that way. but unless you
have registered mares, and heavy ones,
you will be disappointed. The laws of
nature in the breeding problem are in.
clined to retrograde, generally speak.
ing, and 1t is always much easier to
breed the defects than the good quail.
ties. flt were not 80 we would soon
all be at the top But let US raise the
draft horse and always make him as
large as possible.
While there might be an honest diff
erence Of opinion concerning the COM

ses for farm purposes, yet we are still
of the opinion that on the average farm
of the corn belt more satisfaction will
be obtained from q horse that weighs
from I 400 pounds upward. We have
seen standard horses weighing from

will, it is true, but more Of the wearing
kind at this form of labor will be found
among the drafters.
Conditions are such in the corn bolt
that the draft horse can be raised in
the highest state Of perfection. There
is profit in the business Of raising them
for market, and they are : good kind
TO rely upon as workers on the farm.
We agree with this subscriber that it
is not always possible 70 get the 1900
or 1900 pound horse from the 1900 or
1,4cO pound mare, because in . consid.

the progeny may not be heavier than

How long shall the present tariff
remain OH our statute books9' is a more
or less interesting inquiry that has come
up TO us from sources in opposition to pre-
sent schedules and provisions. 1t is pro-
babe that the present tariff will remain
on the country's big books just so long
as its results are beneficial to the Ameri-
can workingnen, just so long as II seems
to furnish the motive power for the great
mills and factories and mines of the repub-
lie, just so long as it provides prosperity
for The American farmer and farm, just
so long as il provides for a profitable
market at home and abroad, just so long,
in fact, as it serves the purpose for which
il was intended by the republican states
men and republican sentiment that made
possible its enactment. American men
may differ on almost every proposition
that comes before them for consideration,
but they do meet and join hands on one
common ground, and that is a willingness
and desire for conditions that make for
prosperity and profitable activities.
