Points in DairyinE.

1t is claimed that dairying exhausts
the soil unless considerable food mate
rails are brought on the farm, which
is 4 fact easily sustained, but hun
dreds of dairymen produce upon their
farms all the food required for their
cattle. The farm may not be as liable
to loss of fertility by dairying as when
it is devoted exclusively to the growing
cereals. but it can be exhausted OF GER
tain elements. which are carried away
in the milk sold, and which are not re-
turned in the manure. Milk is COM
plete food, being rich in nitrogen and
mineral matter. This IS derived from
the food. whether it be grass or grain,
and milk is as much a product as any
other substance that leaves the farm.
II is nothing more nor less than the
changed form of the food consumed,
and as milk can only be produced from
food, it is the result of the conversion
of one into another of a more concen-
trated and salable character. When
the food is converted into milk much of
the nitrogen, phosphates and potash
pass into the milk. The manure also
consists of proportion of the foods,
but the larger proportion Of the valu-
able elements of food must of neces-
sity assist to create milk. and the fact
Is also demonstrated that. while we
NAV be blessed with an abundance OF
manure. the value depends upon its
quality and not upon the bulk.

American Horse of the Future.

=
An interesting experiment in horse
breeding is under way in Colorado
under the direction of the Government
Department Of Agriculture. 1t is
claimed that Colorado was selected as
the location because of special adapta
bility of soil and climate, but 1t Is
more likely that it was chosen because
the man who outlined the plan is a
resident of that State. The Idea of
developing the American types of live
stock under Government supervision
originated with Hon. f. II. Grub, of
Carbondale Colo, who, with other
agricultural interests of the State.
succeeded in securing the cooperation
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. A start has been made
with number of breeding mares of
the best type of American stock and
the stallion Cannon The idea is to
breed a new and thoroughly satisfac-
torv type of American carriage horse,
combining speed. great style and high
quality. sufficient substance to look well
In heavy harness. and to be able TO go
long distances in little time, and with
no undue amount of fatigue.
The work in Colorado is supplement-
ed by operations quite as interesting
TO farmers in the attempt TO revive
interest in. the Morgan breed in coop
Grafton with the Vermont Experiment
Station 4H0-acre farm at Way
bridge. Vt, is being used as stock
farm for development of the Morgan
horse, and if this splendid all-round
type of horse is revived and greatly
Increased in numbers. the effort will
be Of great permanent value.
