Points Of the prafe Horse.

Prof Geo NJ Rommel. Of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
relative to the required qualities OF
the marketable dialt horse. says:
Size aud Weight.--The weight that
Will characterize a horse as a drafle,
will be that above which he can no;
work at trot without waste Of effort
and horse0esh aud below which he
can work more economically by haul
ing smaller loads at increased speed
This weight is pretty generally con
ceded to be 1900 pounds In fair flesh
The height Of draftcr will vary from
lo'5 hands Tor the smaller sorts Il
ll@ hands for horses OF great weights
The importance of weight in draft
err must not be overlooked. His pur
pose Is solely that OF heavy work
pulling great loads al the walk. and
to fulfill this requirement most per
tectly the FIRST essential Is weight
with, OF course. proportional size
Without weight the immense loads
that are To be- hauled over our city
streets could not be moved. and care.
luI observation OF the average prices
has shown that, other things being
equal, draft horScnesh Is worth about
S2O for every additional hundred
pounds II can show over 500 pounds
1t Is also essential that as much as
possible OF this weight be bone and
muscle Though many buyers I'm
questionahly demand fat, and the truth
is that horse cannot sell for q cred,
table price unless fat, the effective
value of a horse as a worker should
not be lost sight Of
Conformation. 80. lis conformation
should enable the animal to make his
weight as effective as possible, and
at the same time, assure reasonably
long period of usefulness. For this
purpose he must have a rather short
heavy neck and a shoulder slopInR
enough 10 take the collar well. but
not so straight as 10 cause post
leg and bring about premature I'm
sudndncSs Tho back should be short
well mus"led and strongly coupled tc
the hind quarters, which should be
nicely rounded, smooth and plcntilully
supplied with muscle. Particular at
lenllon should be paid to the hook
Tie legs must be moderately short
and haze a supply OF bon? sufficient e
support the weight and work OF the
animal, and, Of course must be sound
A short leg, with low.set knees ant
hooks, is one that will stand wear anJ
tear and usually goes with a strong
closely coupled roIy. Head AMI mech
should be propc:tiola'c To the size
OF The horse The whole appearance
should be massive
Action Tho action OF the drafteI
is confined almost exclusively 70 the
walk, For tins reason tire walk is OF
vital importance Rapidly O! ser

cover considerable ground In the least
possible time. Slraighincss. smooth

enable him 10 90 this with the least

mat hereafter all such portions Of

Give the Cen Some Grain.

There are good many things we
do not know about cattle raising and
especially about the rearing of tina
calf There are a few things that wa
are beginning to find out, and am eng
them is the fact that It does not nav
to try to raise the calf on dry hay
alone. Tho cost OF producing gains
on calves in winter is least when a
partial ration Of grain is fed a,,ng
with the hay. The calves that have
only dry hay all winter make -oor
gains and some of them go into spring
in very thin condition. This is the
case most where the cattle are n ada
to partly AL up on straw and have
only dry hay for the rest Of their ra.
ton. Straw contains such a arge pro.
PORTION Of fiber to nutrients that Il re.
quires about all there Is in II to nav
Tor the work Of digestion. The calf
should be kept growing all the time.
and this can only be made possible By
giving him food rich In nutrients

Dairyine IN MICHIGAN.

Michigan is not considered n dairy
state, and yet, according to a recent
census, there al. Ia tina, state lI1IG
farms deriving their CHEF income
rom dairy products. On these dairy
farms there are TLCi3 COWS. which
makes an average Of a little over
ave COWS to farm. The number Of
cows In the state used for the pro.
duction of milk principally is over
$4,000, according to the census OF
1900. About CO,OOo OOO pounds OF farm
butter are made yearly, and this has
a value Of 100000 In addition
over 2G,000,00O pounds Of butter are
made in the creameries, and the yalue
Of this swells the aggregate value Of
the butter made to over Sl4OOO. 600

Swiss cheesemakino.

Professor F. b. Mumford, of the Uni.

good many OF the factories in which
cheese is made. He says Il Is a mis-.
take to suppose that all Swiss cheese
Is good. Even the Emmenthaler varies
In quality, though as a general thing
1t is good. 1t is more uniform in
quality than would be supposed to
be possible, when It is considered that

Why Michigan OPP oses oIeO.

Michigan daIrymen are taking stems
10 oppose the repeal OF the national
oleomargarine law. or the reduction
OF its tax Of ten cents per pounl on
colored oleomargarine The law has
been found TO be good and has con
sustained In the courts. II an,
changes are made the law may not no

81 the present time. We never know
how a court is going to pass on n
law, and until its consttutionallty has
been made certain by suit after suit
based on every phase OF the law no
one can tell what will happen. The
dairymen have learned that this law
Is inyulnerable, and so have the oleo

enemies Of the law to assail Il Is IN

this way they may be able to maze II

are large, there being about $50
creameries in operation, and the
amount Of farm butter produced is
also large.

FEEDING the Dairy Calf.

The cali that Is to be raised for
the dairy must be fed differently
from the calf that is to be made into
a beef steer. The feeding must be
with the object Of inducing certain
habits in the growing animal The
habits to be established are such as
will result in large production Of
milk when the calf becomes a COW.
Therefore fattenirg foods should not
lie fed to the extent Of fattenng the
calf as, when the calf becomes a
COW that same habit will result in
turning large part Of the food into
beef On the other hand, If the cali
is not fed so that she gets fat. but
is fed only enough TO keep her grow.
ing, the habit will be formed of moi
laying on flesh. Whole milk is a
good feed, but is too expensive to be
FED after the first month. After that
skinned milk should be a large mart
of the ration. For digestlon's sake
1t is better to add u little oil meal in
place OF the butter.fat that has been
removed.

expense Of less than IS. They were
comparatively clean and the soil in
good condition. We found that the
price for clearing off sage brush and
plowing varied from SO to IS per
acre. One man reported that 1t cost
him $1.25 for clearing sage brush
and $3.50 for plowing.
L. f. Roberts came from the VIII
amette valley and took up a home
stead of this sage brush land. He es-
timated the cost to clear and plow at
SO per acre, narrowing three times, at
soc per acre at each narrowing; seed,
80 pounds per acre: so cents an acre
for heading. and cents per bushel
for threshing, the average yield was
25 bushels per acre for 1904, although
some poor breaking gave a yield of
only Is bushels to the acre. The soil
was all the same. but the difference
in the yield was due to the manner
in which the soil was prepared for the
seed.
Mr.. Roberts had found the Jones
Fife the most satisfactory variety to
grow. He sold his crop this year at
II cents per bushel. He finds that II
the ground has been well prepared,
the second crop may be stubbled in;
that is, seeded on the stubble ground
after harvesting. without any prepar-
alton of the soil; the stubble serving
the double purpose of catching the
snow to protect the wheat during the
winter and as a mulch the following
season. We saw many farms of win
ter wheat that had been stubbled in
and as a rule there was better stand
and the plant in better condition than
where 1t had been summer fallowed.
We asked Mr.. Roberts what he
thought of summer fallowing, and he
said: 'I will summer fallow when
the land needs it, not otherwise" The
advantage of frequent narrowing and
thorough preparation of the land be-
fore seeding was well illustrated by
contrast between the field Of winter
wheat where the ground had been
well narrowed and the field that had
been narrowed by once and that not
done well.
