DEVELOPING GRADE DRAFT

Many Of our farmer breeders Of

fallen into the error OF believing that
the mating Of mares to heavy draft
stations is about all that is required
to insure similar weight in the geld
ings when the time arrives TO offer
them upon the market. The absurd
ity OF this idea daily is proved to the
loss OF the breeder. He should bear
in mind that the modern breeds of
heavy draft horses are not merely the
products of selection and continued
breeding in a right line. but Of feed
and shelter, good care and careful
handling The improved animal tends
20 degenerate toward the old type of

the greater tendency 20 produce seed.
On fair corn ground, from 20 to 80
bushels of grain per acre should be
produced. The beans are rich in pro-
tein and fat or oil and are excellent

1t is largely for the reason that
farmers have been poor feeders OF
draft colts that they have failed to
make a success of the business. They
have started well, but failed to feed
well, and the colts growing up less in
weight than expected, the owners
have become dissatisfied and then
have spoiled all progress by breeding
to an alien sire and forming a new
alloy no better than the first and far
less prepotent. By sticking to one
breed, until five or six top crosses
have been put on, and, at all times,
feeding completely for perfect devel-
opment, there would be no disappoint.

who has bred and fed in this way is
on record as having received an aver
