Draft Horses Good Sellers.

Prof. Kennedy of the Iowa Bureau
Of Animal Industry told the men OF
bis special course that draft horses
are the horses for the average farmer
to raise. for they do not require the
special preparation for market in the
way Of training. etc, that light horses
or coach horses do. and are less dam
aged by blemlshes, which will frequent
~ appear even on colts that are care
fully cared for. In addition to this,
the draft horse can be broken when he
is but a 2-year-old and can be made to
earn his keep from then until he is
mature and ready for market. This
en- not be done with light horses.
"f'he greatest need in horse breed
ing at the present day" said Prof.
Kennedy. sis that Of some definite plan
In breeding. No breeder of average in
teIIgence would think of crossing hogs
or cattle in an indiscrinlnate way with
the expectation Of getting satisfactory
results. yet these same men viii cross
draft mares with trotting mares, or
vice versa, and yet expect TO get horses
that will be useful for some definite
purpose. The result Is usually a horse
that will class neither as q light horse.
coach horse nor draft horse and the
market is constantly flooded with
these insists. Every farmer should at
tempt to produce horses OF some def
mite type, such as the market demands,
and this can only be done by deciding
on the breed or type one desires TO
breed and then resoIutely sticking to
It.
"The type Of draft horse that the
market wants Is horse weighing

Farmer SoIons to Get Revenge.

formation that the farmers would reap
sweet revenge by killing all the appro-

has gone out that in return for the
slaughter of the binder Irvine plant
they will oppose scores and scores of

Referred 10 Special Session.

BY vote of II to 5 the Senate the
other day decided to stand firm in Its
policy of referring all legislation relat.
ing to water powers to the special SEES.
sion next winter. The question came
up in an attempt by Senator Bird to
recall bill 405S, from the special com.
rlittee and have it put through. This
bill would create forest, fish and
game and water power commission of
three members. Senator Bird argued
for the bill 1t would do away with
the present fish commission the water.
ways commissioner and the forestry
board and combine their functions In
the new board, he said. The expense,
he declared, would be no greater than
at present and such body is needed
now. Senators I.ockney, Blaine and
Randolph argued against the Bird mo-
ton. Senator Blaine pointed out that
the action requested would anticipate
the business of the special session and
that If the new board were created II
would be hard TO do away with it If
thought advisable. The motion was
then voted down.

The bill to prohibit employers from
requiring more than eight hours of
work on election days has been sent
to the committee on privileges and
elections. The bill aims to get work
lngmen more interested in voting and
to prevent employers from keeping
their men away from the booths by re-
quiring them to work overtime on cleo

ployment of electors for more than
eight hours between a. m. and the

The city health Office at Nashville,
Tenn, has completed test to deter
mine whether poultry drawn and
packed in ice would last longer than
poultry undrawn and carried under the
same conditions. 4 half dozen drawn
chickens and an equal number of
chickens not drawn were placed on ice
for some days and then taken from the
ice for examination. The result of
he experiment showed that the poultry
packed undrawn kept better, being In
good condition, whereas the drawn
poultry had deteriorated materially.

TO FACE A CHILDLEss WORLD

WoefuI Prophecy Based Statis-
tics Made by College Professor.
As though we had not already enough
worriment, lodging automobiles and
taking orders from the cook, we are
now told that a hundred and fifty
years hence there will be no more chill
dren. Viewed from either pole of the
situation, this is indeed a woeful
prophecy. II you are a lover Of chill
dren, 1t makes your blood run cold TO
| realize that they are 50 soon to be
added to the schedule of extinct ami
mails, along with the dodo and the
saber-toothed tiger; while IL you belong
to the opposite class, it is equally dis
tressing to know that this promised
millennium Is SO far remote that you
will not be here to enjoy the day
when Angora cats and bull pups shall
hold undisputed place as household
pets.
However, it's useless to bewail the
oracle of statistics. A learned college
professor has computed the rate at
which human births are declining. says
Clifford Howard in Lipplncott's, and
when he announces that they will come
to an end during the next century and
| half we have no alternative but to
accept his dictum. 1t is not guess !;
| it is q mathematical certainty. To DO
sure, he might have kept this dismal
prediction to himself, but It's one Of

melancholy auguries. The horrors Of

No prophet who conjures with sta
tistics has ever yet predicted any

Gregory once remarked, "Peradventure

Harm In Irrigation.


A comprehensive review of the work
OF the reclamation service in the In
terror Department was given to the
House Committee on Irrigation of Arid
Lands recently by Secretary Garfield.
Mr.. Garfield said that in the CON
struction of the big irrigation plants
every attempt had been made to so con.
struct that the cost of repair from year
to year will be as small as possible.
The secretary uwelt upon the inpor
lance of the cooperation of the states
and federal government in the develop
ment Of the arid lands. He gave the
committee some suggestions as to the
future control of the irrigated lands.
There should be no relaxation Of
the requirement that the money ey-
pended on those lands must be returned
to the government, and there should be
no permission granted for the postpone.
ment of the first payment" he said.
The time has arrived for the first pay
ment to be made on some of the pro
jects, and many requests for an extern
sion Of time have been made. 1t would
be the poorest policy in the world to
postpone payments. If payments are
to be postponed or payments entirely
abandoned there will not long be a
reclamation fund"

fed terms the Water Users Associa-

Planting Potatoes.

Although common potatoes are not
seeds and the young plants not seed
lings, yet they are planted in much the
same way as ordinary seeds. To Sc
cure very early potatoes, select early
maturing tubers ard plant them from
two to three weeks previous to the
last spring frost, ii that time can be
determined. A few days too early Will
result in no harm. Select very rich
soil that is loose and warm by nature.
Make deep burrows and in the bottom
place two or three inches CT cow ma
nure of any kind. Sprinkle over this
a mixture of wood and coal ashes il
they can be procured and cover lightly
with soil Place the tubers on this
and cover them deeply, four or FIVE
inches for early protection. If the
plants come up before the last spring
frosts they may be covered with a light
protection of straw, which may be re
moved later. In this way early pota.
toes may be had fully two weeks In
advance Of the regular season.
Sweet potatoes, being very sensitive
to cold and by nature plants of south
ern ATTITUDES, should not be planted till
well into the beginning Of summer,
when the soil has become warm to n
considerable depth. They are of quick
growth and maturity, and do better
planted late than early.
