GUILDGIYES WARNING
Governor Tells Business Men
Not to Shirk Duties.

President Woodrow Wilson Also Ad-
dresses Cleveland Board of Trade

Bryce Also Spenker-Mayor John
son Declines TO shake Hands.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. l6-Gov. Guild.
of Massachusetts, made a few plain and
unvarnished statements at the CleveIanc
Board Of Trade dinner tonight regarding
the duties of business men.
"The one danger that most business
men view with horror" said he. lis So
cialism. The strongest argument for gov
eminent ownership, the argument Of de-
spair. is that State ownership is the only
relief from graft Tho man who Is doing
more for socialism, communism. and an
archy to-day than any other is the highly
respectable business man who buys Iegts-
lation.
1T is the fashion among some men to
scoff at trial by jury as a farce, How
many business men can honestly say they
never shir6ed jury duty?
You ask a governor to stand I'D
against mawkish appeals for pardons. Do
you stand up when the appeal is made to
you? 1 wish some Of you could sit in the
executive chamber of any State and see
the streams of petitions from highly re-
spectacle merchants, urging that the
worst criminals should be loosed again
upon the world These petitions are, for
the most part. signed without any knowl-
edge Of the case beyond an ex parte state
ment with the paper"

KEEP THE FLEEcES CLEAN.
A Little Care in This Direction Will
kspaY the Sheepnan.

1t goes without saying that q cfean
6eeee always sells better than dirry
one. 1t is natural that when wool goes
to the commission merchant he should
discriminate against a fleece that is
full of straw and dirt in favor of one
with no better quality of staple, but
free from foul matter. This is a COM
mon experience among men who shear
and sell wool. We know it is a very
difficult matter to prevent the flock
from collecting more or less dirt in
their fleece, for they are quite apt to
stand around and rub against the
straw pile or haystack if they are
allowed to do so, says the Iowa Home
stead. We have known sheepmen who
were SO careful to keep the feeces
clean that they would not allow any
one to carry forkful of hay through
the flock. They were generally we'll
rewarded for their care with fine,
bright feeces at shearing time which
brought several cents a pound more
than those of their neighbors who had
been less careful.
The difference between the price of
q dirty fleece and a clean one, even
though both be of the same quality of
staple, may be only few cents. How
ever, when one thinks of the gain that
is made on the whole flock it amounts
to considerable. OF course it is quite
a nuisance perhaps to keep the sheep
from rubbing against stacks, and it
may seem often as if the work which
| it requires to keep the flock In pens
separate from those of the stock cattle
was hardly repaid by the gain that is
secured from the improved condition
| of the feeces. 1t is a common practice
| to feed roughage to the flock in low
racks rather than to allow them to
pick their roughage from the stack.
! The racks should be low enough so
that hay from above will not drop
down into the f1eeces when the sheep
i are feeding.
The plan of keeping the fleece just
as clean as possible is one that is prac-
ticed by all good sheepmen. If you
have not been in the habit of doing the
same, just try it from now on and see
what a nice bunch of heeces you have;
also if you do not get better price fol
your wool than you ordinarily do, max
ing allowance, of course, for the mar
| ket changes.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1907-08-30


liberal allowance of oats and bran,
with little corn perhaps, in the win
ter time; also corn fodder, bright oat
straw and plenty of good hay for
roughness. Under these conditions
they will develop all the bone and mus
Gle required, will be active and vigor-
Gus and when coming three years old
will be sufficiently matured SO they
can be fed for the market and heavy
weights obtained. With the constant
outdoor exercise and feed suggested
the colts have grown up strong and
healthy, their bone and muscle are
hard from constant use, their lungs
are sound and their digestive organs
are in good working order.
In the fall after they are two years
old they are well matured and when
fed for weight will take on flesh rap
idly, and they have the bone and mus
Gle to carry it. Draft horse breeding
when carried on with judgment, either
by the farmer or larger breeder, will
be as profitable as any other branch
of stock raising for many years to
come-will always be profitable when
intelligently pursued. 1t is important
that the business should be encouraged
in all legitimate ways. 1t is not only
important to the farmer and breeder,
but equally important to the manufac-
turer and business man. The draft
horse is an essential element in gen.
eral prosperity. Without him COM
merce would lag and agricultural prog
reSS would be retarded. He is at the
very Foundation of all Industrial prog
ress, the farmers friend and ally and
the king of the market place.-H. G..
McNIill2n in New Southwest.

BREEDING THE
DD AFT ECR Sc.

The breeding of draft horses Is rapid
as well as one OF the most prontaDie
branches of animal husbanGry. Not
withStanding the advent of the electric
car, the automobile and other inVen-
tions for carrying both passengers anC
freight, the de-and for draft horses
has constantly increased. In fact, the
demand has increased much more rap
idly than the supply. and as a conse-
auence prices for really first class
drafters are higher than ever before
known in this country.
First of all, good breeding stock
must be obtained. Draft horses of the
type, size, quality and action now de-
manded by the market cannot be pro-
duced from undersized and inferior
stock Soundness is an essential
requisite, and bone and quality are
necessary; good feet cannot be dis
pensed with, and good action adds
much to the value of the present day
drafter With the right kind of breed
ing stock the battle is half won, but
much depends upon the care and feed
ing. In my experience l have been
surprised in late years at what can be
accomplished in the development of
bone and muscle by judicious feeding
and plenty of outdoor exercise.
If colts are permitted to have con-
stant outdoor range, both winter and
summer, with good sheds to run under
in time of storm or severe weather,
all they need is plenty of good grass; a

Breeding Good Stock.

Good feeding must go with good
breeding.
Selecl the best for breeding purposes.
Like produces like or the likeness of
an ancestor.
The longer the pedigree the better if
it is the right kind.
Avoid strongly opposite tendencies in
the parents as tending to weaken the
hereditary tendency in the young. II
violent crosses are made, do not breed
from the crossbreds.
The young will be most likely to re-
sembls the parent having the strongest
breeding powers and strongest pedi-
gree. Animals which have power of
strongly influencing their young for
several generations are termed prepo-
tent.
Those who know nothing about in
bree ling should avoid it. Practice it
only between individuals as nearly per-
feet as possible. 1t tends to fix and
increase all characteristics, both good
and bad.
In crossing and grading up always
use q thoroughbred male, says Amer
lean Culuvator. Never use a poor
grade, no matter how we'll he looks.
He cannot be depended upon to breed
true. Breed from the best specimens
of the best bred families. Usually
the female can be used for breeding al
an earlier age than the male.
