This is the rule rather than the ex-

The farmer as a rule feels that he can
not afford to attempt the raising of
bIooded horses. and he is right, but he
should at least exercise good judgment
in selecting large, well-built mares and
breed them tn large, well-bred stallions

live stock, but think 1 will go into it.
Do you think it would be more prof.

In the light of modern days this ques-

who keeps on. year after year, selling
his crops, is surely and steadily selling
his land from under his feet. II 10

Cattle feeding and growing should be
followed in one or more OF it's branches
on every farm where diversified farm

farmers dairying will prove more profita-

sheep should always occupy a place on
the farm.
A flock of about fifty sheep is the linn

farmer who keeps sheep as side line

Hogs may be regarded ~ An adjunct
to the dairy and corn crop. There is
no special attribute about the hog that
