Side Bones.

Look out for side bones o. the
draft horse. Foreign buyers have
been more particular than Americans
on the question of side bones, and it
is only a few years since some OF our
best judges in America have been
looking out for side bones at all.
1t is said that only few years ago
a judge, who has considerable repu.
tation as a horseman in this country,
was judging at a Western State fair.
An exhibitor whose horse had been
turned down to second place objected
that the judge had put the first prize
upon morse with side bones, and it
is said that the judge went over to
the first prize horse and began to
feel along his ribs, and he said, This
horse has no side bones" saw
another judge who was called down
in the same way by placing the first
prize on a horse that had side bones
and ne went to feeling for the splints
just below the knee on the inside OF
the leg, and he found none.
The side bone is just above the
heel Of the horse; it is a mere cartl.
lage; it is put into the heel, we be.
lieye, to give springiness to the heel,
to save Inflammation there when the
horse works and travels. Now, on
low heels, and especially on heavy
horses, they put good deal OF
weight on the heels. they get feverish
there, and Inflammation sets in.
These cartilages harden and become
bone in the effort of nature to mend
up the little strain, or make good the
work OF Inflammation there, and
when they are honey and hardy you
have a horse that to some extent will
get sore as he works. You can see II
in the gait, and you can find II when
you take hold of those cartllages and
try to move them.
Do not confound this side bone
with 4 ring bone, or a partial ring
bone. Ring bone is supposed to go
clear around, though not always ]
have seen people confound a side
bone with ring bone.

Grow Potatoes.

The potato crop OF the Uu.ted
States does not equal the demand
To many this will be Il revelation and
the one statement should be sufficient
to start many a farmer thinking along
lines that lead TO increased acreage.
Ofhcial figures of crop values show
that the potato is crop worthy OF
the most careful attention. The ay-
erage revenue per acre in Illinois in
1907 was s62, in Kansas It was s57,
and in the United States as a whole,
S5S; the same year oats in Illinois
brought 1885, Kansas s9.02, In the
United States S1O.l2 per acre.
Potatoes cannot be stored and kent
Indefinitely, as grains, for they are
perishable. The fall and winter of
1903 must be supplied with the 1903
crop. Progressive growers will dou-
bic their crop in 1909 II they would
obtain the greatest revenue from
their land. II is a well known fact
that the wise potato grower never
has a mortgage on his farm. Any
crop not equal TO the demand Is an
excellent one to grow. or course, the
Intelligent grower must realize, and
1t is fact, that those who work by
hand cannot hope to compete with
those using machinery especially de.

such facts as the following:
An acre in hay brings S2j to s35 a
year according to yield, for feeding
purposes.
There is always a good market for
alfalfa hay, which yields more than
double that OF timothy.
Hogs, cows and sheep are fond of
alfalfa grazing and pastures and they
thrive greatly on it.
Land that will grow alfalfa lux
