can be used more conveniently. For
some work a more active team is de-
sired.
BY some II Is thought that larger
horses do not stand the warmer cli-
mate as well as smaller ones. This,
believe, is due more to the previous
or early treatment of the horses than
TO that of size. A great many large
horses are not reared up in such a
way as to produce hardness. During
the past decade or more the larger
the horses the more valuable they
have been on the market.
believe there is no horse that can
be produced so cheaply and with as
much profit to the farmer as the draft
horse, says Prof r. C. Obrecht of the
University Of illinois, The size OF the
mares chosen must then be determined
by each individual for his own use on
his own farm, but 1t must be remem-
bered that the larger the mares the
more valuable they will be to raise
draft colts, which return the greatest
profits.

select mares with good, large feet,

The care of brood mares used for
farm labor is an important matter, and
one which may greatly influence prof

In foal, In order to provide for the
proper development of the foetus, they
should receive liberal supply of pro-
tein in their ration, together with
feeds rich in BODYBUILDING substances.
Wheat bran, being rich in phosphorus
and ash material, is an excellent food
for this purpose. A ration composed
of three parts corn. two parts oats and
one part bran, fed with clover hay,
will prove quite satisfactory. II Clover

ter due consideration the city council
deems 1t necessary for the welfare and
continued progress of the city that
these amendments .be acted on affir-

be able TO assume an Indebtedness

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES.

The recent announcement 10y the
railroads of an Increase of ten pei
cent n freight rates comes somewhat
unexpectedly and in view ot business
conditions is unwarranted. With a
sluggish market and decreasing prices
for most products the exsction OF
higher rates means considerably less
m5uey for the croducer than it would
a year ago when prices we're high and
crops larger.
1t is singular coincidence that
with the announcement OF increased
railroad building in the Northwest we
are also confronted with higher freight
rates. Ii looks very much as though
the railroad msgnates in deciding to
give the people more railroads had
also come to the decision that they
must pay the added cost for them.
The amount OF money which the
higher rates will take from the pro-
ducers Of the Northwest can be real
lied by an estimate made by the
Spokesman Review OF the added cost
of transportation to the wheat farm.
