HORSE WORLD
OF TODAY

During the past year the draft horse
has been the best paying producer on
the farm. An unusual interest marked
the progress of the 1orse show of the
last international for this reason. Su-
perlatiye in quality and greater in
number than eyer-before-this tells the
story of the horse fair at the interna-
tfonal
The Percherons exhibited, although
slightly less In number than the year
before, were superior In quality, and
their placing was followed with much
more interest. The exhibit of mares
outclassed anything ever seen in an
American show ring.
The splendid Suffolk stallion shown
here is Rendelsham Corcerer, No. 3077.

Mulch For YOUNG Grass.

After the lawn has been established
and it has gone into winter quarters
1t is we'll to give the young grass a
mulch Of well decomposed stable ma
nure. which shall not be heavy enough
to disfgure or mar the lawn. but
should be so fine and well decomposed
that it will be carried beneath the sur-
face of the grass by the rains and
SHOWS of the winter, leaving very little
rough or unsightly matter to be raked
off In the spring. If this Is not desira-
BILE after the greensward has passed
through the first winter it should be
treated to >op dressing of fine ground
bone at the rate of a thousand pounds
to the acre.--L. c. Corbett

1t is essential for the advancement
of the breeding interests that the
breeders should realize fully what is
meant by good carriage horse. Be
cause the breeders have not kept them
selves posted they have lost an amount
of money that in the aggregate has
reached thousands of dollars.
Buyers, knowing what the city mar
ket demands in the line of high class
carriage horses, have picked up dia-
monds in the rough, so to speak, care
fully prepared them for the market and
secured profits all out of proportion to
their share of the work, while the
breeder, generally farmer. has had
to be content with the price of gen
erai purpose horse. Had the farmer
breeder been acquainted with what the
city people demand he would have
been able to make fairly profitable
industry an excellent paying one.

He was the champion prize winner at

breed of draft horses originated in
England and has been developed for
many years, with special reference to
their use as farm animals. The ami

purposes, as attested by great many
persons, says Orange Judd Farmer, ia

SCHOOLS OF AGRICULTURE.

The directors of the Iowa State Ag-
ricultural college are this year carry
ing out programme of short study
courses among agricultural and kim
dred lines in different sections of the
state that are proving decided sue
cess from the standpoint of interest
and attendance as well as financially
They are in way travelling schools of
agriculture, the courses, of a weeks
duration. being offered in the larger
cities of the state, and from reports
thus far made public the people in the
localities visited are more than pleased
with the practical value of the courses
offered. The plan in part satisfies the
need expressed in President Roose-
velt's late message to congress touch
ing the need of agricultural high
schools. The idea is good one and
would seem to be feasible for most
agricultural colleges In the country.
An indirect benefit derived is that the
holding of these short courses in the
different sections of the state is going
to give students who attend them
glimpse of the work done at the agri-
cultural college that in many cases
will result in their taking longer
courses there.

FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED

with success: Plant cotton in rows
from five to six feet apart and at
the last working scatter about n
peck OF seed per acre on the row
around the stalks. Next spring when
