FIG. xx.-GoOD TYPE OF DRAFT MARE.
neck should be full as we'll as long.
The neck of a mare should not show
any tendency to the crest that marks
the stallion. Masculine characters in
a mare or feminine characters in a
stallion indicate that they will not
make reliable or prepotent breeding
animals.
The shoulder should be neither too
straight nor too sloping. A straight
shoulder interferes with action and is
usually associated with stubby pas
tern and generally with long back
as we'll In light horses the more slop-
ing the shoulder the better, since this
conformation is favorable to long or
high action. In draft horses too slop-
ing shoulder brings the point of draft
too high and may even cause the collar
to slip up and choke the animal. The
face Of the shoulder should be broad
to give good bearing surface for the
collar. The top of the shoulder should
not be open or coarse and should blend
we'll into the back.
The back of the draft horse should
be as short as possible from the top of
the shoulders to the hips. A short
coupled, compact horse can handle
himself better than one with long,
loose coupled and often swayed back.
The ribs should be we'll sprung. long
and close together. The space between
the last rib and the pelvic bone should
not be over three or four inches. The
loin should be wide and heavily mus
cled. The region from the hips back,
called the Group should be broad. long
and not too sloping. 1t is the hind
quarters that furnish the propelling
power, and size and massiveness here
are all important points. The thighs
should be heavily muscled both inside
and out and should be broad when
viewed from the side. The muscling
on the inside of the thighs should ex-
tend we'll down.
Next in Importance is constitution.
This is indicated by deep. wide chest,
a full fore flank, large nostrils and
deep barrel A horse that is tucked up
in the hind flank tires easily and can
not be kept up in flesh when at work.
This is an especially bad fault in
brood mares.
Quality is very important, as it indi-
Gates endurance or staying power. A
small horse of good equality will do
more work than coarse. loosely put
together animal 500 pounds heavier.
Quality is indicated by fairly thin,
pliablt sim: fine, glossy hair; clean
ness of head and clean legs. The ten
dons at the back of the legs should
stand out clearly, giving the canon a
Hat appearance There should be as
little meatiness as possible at the hook
and between the tendons and the
canon bone The hoof should be of
dense, hard horn, and in hairy legged
breeds the feather should be fine and
silky.
There is an old saying, mo foot, no
horse" The feet and legs are very
important. since they must do the pro-
pelling and receive all the hard knocks

ASSOCIATION
~ AISING draft horses is one OF
* the most profitable branches
~ of live stock farming. 1t can
be carried on to good advan-
tage in connection with general farm
ing, since the brood mares can be
used for field work. Five or six brood
mares will easily do all the work on
quarter section. In this way they
will pay for their feed and care. leav,
ing the colts for profit
In selecting mares from which to
raise draft colts size is an important
consideration. A horse has to weigh
at least 1000 pounds to come in the
draft class. Every pound that he
weighs over that will add at least %
cents to his value.
Judging Draft Horses.
After size the. next point to consid-
err is appearance A draft mare should
be wide, deep and massive. She
should be fairly low set, but not SO
short legged that she cannot move
well. She should be symmetrical
that is, all parts in proper relation to
each other.
Together with these other points
should come draft conformation. The
head should be of fair size, clean cut
with the face slightly dished and the
eyes large, bright and expressive A
small pony" head is very undesir-
able. A draft horse with too much
neck is seldom found, though over
short necks are rather common. The

of Enactment

Sentiment in the District seems to be
divided on the subject of Iegalizing pro-
fession2l baseball on Sunday.
In view Of the Johnston bill, recently
passed by the Senate prohibiting work Of
any kind on Sunday. # is thought the bill
introduced yesterday by Representative
Coudrey, of Missouri, will have a hard
road.
The specific object Of the bill, while gen.
eral in its terms, is TO legalize the play
Ing Of baseball and the charging of ad-
mission on Sunday.

the bill. said; I'VE have Sunday baseball

ample of the West"

proves of Sunday ball He said the peo-
pie have Rock Creek Park, Potomac
