ttos.. rT-----eJj MT -. Az xoa;v<
subject for discussion at the last meeting ofthe
Fallston Farmers Club. Mr.. J. B. Twining,
who opened the subject said that usually the
horses he raised were more satisfactory than
those he bought; that it is profitable to raise
them at present prices and he prefers the large
breeds, weighing from twelve to fifteen hum
dred pounds, with good action. The large
horses can pull load with more ease than the
small ones.
Mr.. Carville Amoss said: In order to raise
and train colt one should have good deal OF
patience and love for the work and he thought
the good sized horse the right kind to raise. =
Mr.. W. L. Amoss said: THE man who
breeds draft horses can get more money out of
them than he could by raising the smaller
breeds. The size will depend on the demand.
You can get them too large for farm use, but
if you want to sell them in the city have them
large. The German Coach is good breed"
Mr.. W. P. Record thought the subject should
include the raising of mules as he considered it
more profitable. You can make more money
and make it quicker, as small mules will bring
$3.50 per pair and large ones $500. In breeding
animals you want to find your market and
them cater to it. You want the best blood you
can get"
Dr.. Hopes said II would like to say a
word for the small horse; know there are ex-
ceptions. but the small horse is best for road
work. The eleven hundred pound horse will
do as much as a large one. know several
fine colts of Belgian breed which show good
individuality"
Mr.. Wiggers preferred to raise his own horses
and liked them to weigh from l 200 to l, 400
pounds for farm work and something lighter
to drive Likes the small horse best for his
own use, but thought mules were better suited
where there was change of drivers. Believes
in having the best blood attainable.
Mr.. Hays said: II had thought it was
good deal like raising calves. After you count
the time and expense it is best to buy, especial
ly when you depend on help to train them
Eleven to twelve hundred is good weight"
Mr.. Charles E. Burton said: II would
breed standard bred horses of from twelve to
thirteen hundred pounds weight if for the farm
and if for the city, heavier. Have them o.
good action and believe it is cheaper to raise
than to buy"
Mr.. Watson believes in raising colts, but had
been unfortunate; does not like the barbed
wire fences where the colts can get hurt by
them. Likes a close, compact horse of eleven
to twelve hundred pounds.
Mr. Preston said: "I have heard the cost of
raising colt was fifty dollars year but is not
that rather excessivep My father raised a. good
many spirited colts which made good drivers.
but were not very satisfactory on the farm.
prefer to work with horses, but mules are bet
ter for the team"
W. A. Harlan said: "For farm work pre-
fer medium weight say from eleven to thir-
teen hundred for driving something lighter !;
