THE FARM HORSE AND HOW
TO PRODUCE HIM.
BY c. d. HIATT. Burdett Kas.

Too many farmers regard the most
on the farm merely as a producer o.
salable products and not as 1lnlshee
prC duct himself. Yet that be shouit
serve equally these two purposes J.
above question and IL Is from TINS
standpoint as we'll as that OF the gen
eral farmer that l wish to speak.
Probably the first point OF contro
yersy as 10 what the farm horse really
Is. is that old and oft debated one
namely SIZE. 1T has been said thai
this question Of size is dependent Oh
local conditions, and to prove his
statement the origin of the different
breeds has been brought forth.
The heavier breeds seem to have
originated in level or valley countries
and an Illustration of this is the
Clydesdale, ID product OF the CLYDE
Valley, Scotland. The Belgian hau
a similar origin. The lighter breeds
appear to haye originated in billy or
rough country. as the Morgan, that
neglected breed which was once the
pride of the Green Ountain farmers.
Yet it is a question whether local
conditions had as much TO do with
the case as sume have sug tested. AT
any rate this need not apply to further
development of the breeds TO day.
The PercherUn did not originate il
what could be called smooth coun-
try. AS we know that today some OF
the best draft stations imported into
the Unted Statef are sent among the
hills. Also that good many of the
heavy teams which are put on th'
market come from n ugh County.
Carrying this question of size little
further let US consider the different
classes of horses. The American
trotter has been named by an Illinois
writer as the ideal farm horse, but
while he is all right as a product he
falls a little short of being FIRST class
aid in production. If you would turn
your farm into a breeding plant foI
light harness hors es all well and good
but in that case you do not represent
the general farmer, And the average
farmer is not prepared for the speed
horse business.
Next come the coacbers, German,
French, English or Hackney, Cleve-
land Bay, etc. The one great defect
OF this class when mated 10 the COM
mon mares of the community, is that
the progeny often lack constitution.
They are,freuently little lacking in
heart glrth, too much length Uf leg
and back, too loosely put together
and show tendency to goose rump'.
Now this is not true Of all coacherS as
Ia parts OF New York and Vermont
the Hackney and French coach are
being successfully mated with com
mon mares, Many Of these. however,
show quite little morgan blood and
1t seems that this blood is especially
suited to cross of coach blood.
Finally come the drafters and here !
is a solution to the problem. The
question Of breeds Is not so important
as that of size or class. There are

BEANS AND PEAS A VALUA
BILE CROP.

If more farmers knew of the al
most unlimited possibilities and
sources of wealth in the culture of
beans and peas, not only for the
narke. and feeding purposes but as
means of building up and main
tanning the fertility of the soil, not
one of them would let this season
pass without raising at least few
acres.
Volumes could be written on this
subject and every word be of Vita
interest to farmers, but We only
wish to give few of the facts here,
for you to think over.
Corn and wheat are our two most
leading crops, We all must admit
that Iowa is one of the greatest corn
producing states in the Union, but
tie average yield per acre in that
state this past year was about 80
b Ishels. At 40 cents per bushel
this would amount to $3.50. The
average yield per acre of wheat in
the Northwest this past year was
about IS bushels, At 10 cents per
bushel this would amount to $40. so.
Now the cost of raising corn per
acre will average about 81, and of
wheat about S.. This would leave
net profit of $500 for the corn
and IS. so for the wheat.
For comparison we will take
beans. The average yield this past
year was about I6 bushels per acre.
The selling price ranges from $r.3o
10 Sa.oo per bushel, but We will
place it at so, which would
amount to $24. The cost OF raising
beans is about IS per acre. This
would leave a net1ncome of $40, or
almost three times that of corn and
more thanlthree times that of wheat,
Protein is the element in stock
food which furnishes the material
for milk, blood, bone, flesh and
muscle. Properly cured bean and
pea straw contains three times as
much protein as oat shraw, twice 5
much as corn slower, and a third
m ore than timothy hay. So you
.e the value Of the crop is not all
Jim the grain by any means. =
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1907-05-24

But one o. the great features of
the legume family, of which beans
and peas are part, is the fact that
they build up the fertility of the soil
by gathering the free nitrogen from
the air and depositing it in the soil
through their roots, Nitrogen is an
element which such grains as corn,
wheat, oats, rye, etc., must have.
Therefore if the bean or pea crop
were followed by corn or wheat,
there would be marked increase
in the yield.
Tee figures given here, may vary
on some of the items, in certain 10
calities, but ON the whole they are
very accurate.
More good can be done for the
soil by raising beans and peas, than
can be purchased in the way of ter
tilizers at a cost of millions of dol
lars, and this is aside from the mar
ket and feeding value of these really
wonderful crops.
The farmer who is complaining of
poor crops and small profits should
utilize the means which nature has
SO kindly placed within his reach.
