FOR THE HORSE BREEDER

1t should be, the aim of every breeder
trained animals
The offspring Of immature, undevel-
oped animals is inferior to that of ma
tured and full grown parents.
1t is the steady, quiet horse that can
do the biggest days work when the
weather is extremely hot
The origin Of many diseases may be
traced directly to the filthy quarters in
which the animals are kept.
Silage may be fed to horses in small
quantities provided it Is absolutely
sweet. If is not, it is extremely dan
gerous.
1t does not hurt mare to give her
moderate work up to within a week Of
foaling.

II possible the SOW should be select
ed from large litter. This is apt to
insure fecundity. Each SOW should
have at least twelve well developed
teats, thus providing proper nourish-

The SOW should show quality, but not
at the expense of constitution and
vigor. When sow has shown herself
to be prolific breeder she should be
retained as long as her reproductive

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED

There is always a good chance for
the man that does not know all there
is to be known about farming, but
wants to know more, and the one that
says, Il believe if anybody can do it
1 can!"
OF all hopeless cases In the world
none is more so than the man who
thinks he has no more to learn If
everybody were like such man things
would come to dead standstill. The
world move, is the one who sees that
there is something beyond and who is
willing to try to reach that thing
Take the man who says MY place
looks pretty we'll this spring, but Til
make it look better" or the one who
tells you MY crops are good-never
better-but 1 can do> still greater
things!" There you have the secret
of progress in farming.
Go past the farms of those men a
few years from now and you will
scarcely know them. Everywhere you
will note improvements. There will be
better buildings and more of them.
The fences will be kept UP better.
The crops will certainly stand better.
Things will be looking up.
Why Is it not just as easy to do that
way as it is to sag back and say, 81
am all right. None of my neighbors
get better crops than do. l have a
goo, living. Let it go at that"
This is not ideal farming, for the
fact is the man who talks that way has
no ideal. He is not working toward
anything better than he now has. The
world needs idealists among farmers
just as it does among artists, poets
and literary men.
The man with an ideal is the man
other men love to follow

CULTIvATlNG THE CROP

Do not wait for the corn to get much
above the ground before beginning 'cul-
tivation. A harrow put on just before
the plant appears above the surface
or Immediately afterward kills millions
tender plant when 1t comes through
Then the weeders and cultivators
should be kept going from this time
until the corn is too big to be culti-
waited with safety. If the season is dry
more cultivation Is necessary, because
1t has been demonstrated that the
average rainfall is not sufficient to
grow a full crop of corn without keep
Ing the moisture under the surface, and
the Importance of thorough cultivation
in dry seasons is therefore apparent.
A fine dust mulch will keep the
moisture from evaporating and render
the plant food available for the corn
roots.
The first cultivation may be deep,
but after civilizations should be shall
low. The old-fashioned pillow ripping
along between rows four or five
inches deep, tearing and cutting off
the roots, has destroyed millions of
bushels of corn in times gone by.
Most farmers know better now, but
there may be yet some unenlightened
man, and to him this warning applies.
Whensthe corn plant is three or four
feet high the fibrous roots extend from
one row to another and form mat
from three to five inches under the SUR
face. When six to eight feet high
these roots have formed complete
connection between the rows, and II
can easily be understood that cul-
tivator set five or six inches deep will
tear this mat apart and thus greatly
injure the growing plant.

RIGHT KIND OF BROOD sow

Few things are more displeasing than
to see a lot of Heterogeneous pigs fol-
lowing a scrub SOW. They are unsatis-
factory to the feed lot and Improbable
to the farmer
There is no good excuse for keeping
scrub sows. The brood SOW should be
large, roomy and stand well on her
toes The shoulders should be smooth
and deep, back wide and slightly
arched. There should be ample room
for heart and lungs provided by a wide

mission suggested by Mr.. Taft. Chair
man Payne and other members are known
to be opposed to a commission, which
would have the power to make rat s,
while some members claim that COM
mission for the purpose of gathering in
formation is unnecessary, in view OF the
numerous sources of information through
the various government departments.
In its present consideration of the tariff,
the committee has been supplied with val
liable information by the census bureau,
the bureau of manufactures of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor. the
Department of Agriculture and Ameri-
can representatives abroad through the
State Department, as we'll as by numerous
government experts and agents. 1t is
probable that the new tariff bill will con
tain no provision for a commission.
The main argument advanced against a
tariff commission which would have the
right to establish the rates of duty. or
even recommend changes to the House
committee. is that the business interests
of the country would be seriously inn
paired by the constant uncertainty on
tariff rates which would result. Further
more, il is claim I'd, capital would not be
invested so freey in those industries
which are affected by foreign trade and
competition.
