TIN Hors
For the Farm

The drafter is today and has always
been the best equine money maker for
the farmer, says Breeders Gazette. 1t
boots not to go once more into the
history of the frenzied effort made by
farmers to breed trotters once Will
liams had shown up Axtell and Aller-
ton. History shows us that there is
only one Axtell and only one Aller-
ton. Surely these many years should
have taught the farmer that speed
breeding is not his game. The drafter
is the horse for the farm.
But since the early days Of this jour-
nal there has entered into the draft
horse breeding field an element which
did not appertain thereto at first. That
element is the desire on the part of the
wealthy horse using firms to own the
best. That is the element which has
done more than anything else to boost
the price of the show horse to the level
on which it now rests Six hundred
and sixty dollar geldings and thousand
dollar teams were not in evidence when
the gospel of the drafter was first
preached by the late J. FL. Sanders.
And he builded better than he knew,
for every form owner who then fol-
lowed his advice and since then has
turned not to the right nor to the left,
but has steadily stuck to the draft
breed Of his choice, is now on Easy
street, with money in the bank and
credit among his fellow men.
Today the opportunity Of the br ,eder
of drafters is greater than 1t ever was.
For every show gelding he can produce
there are ten men waiting to sign him
a big check. When men can get $3.50
for ree-year-old geldings, and when
It takes firm almost fabulously
wealthy whole year In which to get
together q mere matter of fifteen head
Of show horses, and when only a few
of these are really heavy enough, the
field certainly offers a most alluring
prospect. There will be no turning nor
twisting Of the market on it's tracks.
The show horse, the good horse, will
from this on always command his price.
Conditions are more stable than they
were

In recent letter Q. NJ. Beck Of

worthless wilderness four years ago"
Everywhere the testimony is the same.

THE FLOCK MASTER

Corn should seldom if ever be used
as feed for the breeding flock, says an
Iowa breeder in Wool Markets and
Sheep. Sometimes very small allow
ance of fodder with the com left on
does well enough In the winter But
for the main feed we prefer clover in
the racks and oats and bran half and
half by weight as trough feed. Roots
are excellent for period both before
and after lambing A very large crop
Of rutabagas can be grown easily on
small patch of ground. We believe
every sheep owner should at least
raise a few bushels per sheep for the
winter Corn is all right to use as part
Of the ration for fattening stock, but
even for rams which are being fitted
for sale we do not like too much corn.
1t does not make them as strong for
the breeding season as would oats and
oilcake
Keep the Flock In Good Condition.
If the wool product is to be valuable
an even condition must be kept up.
Sheep starved il winter will have
weak spots in their wool the next
spring
Profit In Pure Bred Sheep.
The Wisconsin experiment station
has completed an experiment which
proved that we'll bred lambs are much
more profitable to feed than scrubs.
High grade Shropshires and scrubs
were given the same feed. The Shrops
made a net profit Of SLIP per head, the
scrubs IS cents per head.
Shelter the Flock.
Much attention must be given to the
sheltering of the flock Some breeders
do lay much stress upon shelter. We
think it is<very important. We prefer
a closed shed, with plenty of ventila-
ton. 1t also must be kept clean and
let our sheep get wet. Sometimes they
do in warm weather, but it would be
grievance to US to have them stay out
in a cold rain. It certainly runs down
their system in condition Wool
Markets and Sheep.
Feed For Strength.
The wise shepherd feeds young breed
ing stock with the idea Of developing
bone and muscle and not merely fat.
The Care of Sheep.
Be as regular as possible in caring
for the flock. No other farm animal
knows as well as the sheep when irreg-
ular care is given them.
Profit In Sheep.
There are three ways of disposing OF
sheep in seeking for profit outside of
what may be obtained for wool, says
the Farm Home The first is breeding
for fat lambs and selling direct from
the mother, feeding as largely as posi-
BILE on succulent and milk promoting
food, so that the growth of the young
animal will be quick and without check.
Another is the breeding of sheep to be
sold in store condition, either as lambs
or at a more mature age to fatten.
The third is in feeding off full grown
muttOns for the butcher The latter
plan has che additional advantage of
adding largely to the fertility of the
farm
The Valuable Sheep.
Sheep will get more sustenance from
poor land and do the land more good
at the same time than any other stock
the farmer can have.

Keen the pigs Growing.

There is no use in trying to econO-
mize in the feed Of hogs during the
winter The man who only cares to get
them through alive wastes all he feeds
and has only stunted pigs instead Of
the thrifty ones he put up in the fall

The Golden Heof.

1t is said that the hoof Of the sheep
is golden, and such is the fact. When
England has more sheep to the acre
than any other country in the world, it
has more money to lend than any other
country-Farm and Ranch.

And Young Wives, 1t Is Gained, Re-
Juvenate Old Husbands.
"Strange statistics" said an insur-
ance agent, "are collected In my bust
ness.
II have found that the more times
man marries the younger in comparison
with himself he wants his wife to be.
For instance, his first wife on the aver
age is four years youngefSlan he. His
second is ten. His third i[Iwenty or
thirty.
''What do these statistics prove? Do
they prove that as man gains In
years and experience he finds that it
is best, for many reasons, to be almost
as old as his wife's father, or do they
only prove that as men approach old
age they are more foolish than they
were In youth?
"Old X, aged seventy, with third
wife of twenty three, said on this head
the other day:
You can't marry a girl too young.
The younger she is the longer she'll
keep her health and strength and
beauty. Furthermore, the cider you are
the more respect she'll have for you.
She'll reverence you and obey you as
she would her own father or grand
father
Young wives rejuvenate old hus-
bands" the insurance agent ended
"They make these old fellows dress
younger, talk younger, act younger and
feel younger Youth is contagious. A
young wife is believed to prolong an
old husbands life. If a man Of seventy
insured in my company should marry
a girl of twenty, I'd consider him bet
ter risk by per cent than he had
been before. Philadelphia Bulletin

Carriers of Third District in Elo-
quent Speeches. Organic alton Ef-
fected-Enioy Barbecue.

The rural mail carriers of ell the
thirteen counties of the ThiId congress
sional district assembled in Americas
yesterday morning, the object of the
meeting being to eff ct organization
for mutual benefit and the good Of the
mail service.
A large and representative assem-
blage thus gathered at the Pythian

wished success in their undertaking.
Many invited guests thus mingled
with the rural carriers.

resentative of the city. welcomed the
visitors and local carriers, and paid ell
oquent and meritedStribute to the cause
in which they labo.ed.
Judge Charles r. Crisp followed Mr..
Childers. and in speech which held
the closest attention of his hearers re-
viewed briefly the history of the rural
mail service from it's installation 10 the
present time, his remarks being pune
tuated with applause.
From an ''experimental" effort in 1896
with an appropriation of only $4,000,
Judge Crisp told of therapid and enor-
nous growth of the service in nine
years until now it covers vast area OF
the United States aud has an annual
appropriation of many millions.
Georgia alone, he said, now had
,242 rural mail carriers, whereas few
years ago there were none.
Judge Crisp strongly favored the
proposed reduction in parcel rates &c
advantageous to the farmers, merchants
and to the government, thus greatly
increasing the postal revenues.
Mr.. Allen Fort, solicitor of the city
court, next addressed the carriers, his
remarks being very felicitous and bring
ing forth generous applause. He COM
plimented the rural carriers upon their
efficient service, and urged for them
better compensation.
Col. J. r. Williams was called upon
for speech, and though taken una.
wares he gave the assem- blage short
talk repIete with wit and wisdom and
well calculated to please, as it Ger
tainly did.

SPENDING MILLIONS
Work of the Railroads in Bringing in
New industries.

New Industries.
In an article on the progress and
prosperity of the South, the New York
Sun says that 1910, 0o0. 600 have been
invested in new industrial enterprises
IN the Southern states the last three
years Probably the greater part OF
this can be traced directly or Indirectly
to the work of the land and industrial
departments of the railroads, says the
Sun,
Every important road now has it's
industrial and immigration depart
ment with agents who are constantly
on the lookout for new industries
Each road tries TO get all the new
mile, factories, colonies, farmers and
truck growers it can. The agents
hunt for the best locations, and do all
they can to settle new people along
their llneP, The Atlantic Coast Line
and the Ssab 1ard Air Line started to-
bacco growing in the Caroliuas. Tue
old Florida & Western promoted wa
ter melon raising in South Georgia.
The Central of Georgia encouraged
peach growing in the middle part of
the Site. The Southern paid special
attention to the building OF new cotton
mills in the South just as the L. & N.
has encouraged the opening of coal and
iron mines and the building OF
furnaces.
A ra abroad will spend thousands of
dollars on side tracks and extensions
to get q new industry located.
In Atlanta he Southern is now spend
ing $25, 600 to put in new side tracks to
steel mill A week or so ago this
same company agreed to spend
$3.50. 900 on an extension to
reach some mineral property
which the owners wish to develop
Other roads are doing the same thing
every week. OF course the roads ex-
poet to get benefit from the new in
dustries, but it takes millions of money,
which they are willing to spend, to de-
vtlop and build up the country
Ali the roads want active, intelligent
young men in their industrial depart>
mente, the demand being greater than
the supply,
