Heavy Draft Animals.

At a recent Missouri Association
meeting, Prof. Kennedy spoke as fol-
lows about the heavy draft horse:
The heavy draft horse weighs from
1000 to 1000 pounds, and is worth, at
n minimum, $500. Each Of the first
two additions Of a hundred pounds
above 1,6OO increases the value Of the
horse $25, after which every addition in
weight means $50 a hundred pounds.
So q draft horse Of 1000 pounds is
worth $500. Light draft horses, weigh
ing from 1900 to 1000 pounds, are used
for express wagons, fire engines and
other heavy but quick work. These
bring about $125 to $500. The high
acting carriage or coach horse is worth
from 5000 to $4,000. The roadster or
gentleman's driving horse, and the gait
ed saddle horse vary from $500 to $500
respectively up to $1,000. In b last
ten years there has been an advance
of % per cent in the draft horses of
Iowa and Missouri.

l hin very favorably of hard wood
ashes for orchard use rs n dressing for
the soil, says a w~eIi-known orchard
owner. 1t appears that we get results
from their use altogether out of proper
ton to the amount Of phoSphoric acid
and potash they contain, and that this
u be credited TO the effects o. tile
lime they contain upon the soil CON
tents. The chemist tells US that the
lime, potash, etc, contained in wood
ashes are in the best possible form for
plant use. I would want more phos-
phoric acid than the ashes contain. and
would prefer to add it in the shape OF
teamed bone rather than acid phos-
phate. l have used large quantities of
acid phosphate in the past, and still
favor its use, but not in combination
with either wood ashes or common
lime.
