AS an illustration of what can be done in the matter of raising high grade and pure bred horses, we note the case of the Michigan farmer who today has a pair of Percheron mares sixteen years old. They have raised their owner twelve pairs of colts, nine of which have been sold for $3,827 50 or all average of $42527 per pair, while there are six more fine colts on the farm too young to market. Quoting the above figures furnishes all the ar. gument that is needed to prove the proftableness of this line of animal husbandry.

We commend strongly the custom which seems to be coming into vogue of selecting a name for the farm and home and painting the same on neat signboard and posting at the entrance to the place. together with the name of the proprietor. Doing so is quite likely to increase the interest and pride which the owner will feel in keeping the premises in neat and attractive shape, while we are not at all sure that it does not result in an effort or his part to raise few more bushels of corn and oats to the acre and keep a better grade of live stock. It is worth trying at all events and is a great con. venience to the passerby.
