GOOD DRAFT HORSES.

\ - 4 "A
Some Handsome Results Car Be Rsai-
ICED by Raising Their. @
There has been less fuctuatton IN the
prices Of good draft horses than IN any an!
other class of domestic animals grown
on the farm For several years there
has been constant advance in price
! OF these horses, aud this is likely to go
On. This makes 1t profitable to grow
! good grade horses of this sind on the
farm. The Drovers' Journal. recently
| referring to this matter, took this view.
| saying: --t.
! The American draft horse has
achieved the distinction OF being the
great industrial factor Of the age. and
raising draft animals for commercial
use has become one of the prominent
industries Of animal husbandry. The
draft horse has added vast wealth to
the resources of American farmers, as
his production has been most pront'
ible branch of agriculture. ,gssar.
To raise the best classes OF drafters
good breeding stock must be used. The
mares must be draft bred animals,
and they should not weigh less than
/ 400 pounds. and l,6O0 pounds would
be more suitable in the production OF
the heavy class of drafters. The sire
should be the best stallion obtainable,
as one cannot use scrub sire ana
raise good horses of any breed.
Weaned at five months old, the cost
the first year should not exceed $40,
including $50 for stallion fee. Around
$50 per year for pasture, hay and grain
should bring the foal out at three years
old weighing 1850 pounds at cost
approximating 500. If the youngster
is the progeny of good sire and dam
1t ought to be worth SITS and upward,
leaving the farmer net profit of $50
on the production of the animal. Steers
at three years old cannot be produced
that will show the net profit of a
three-year-old draft youngster. II val
ues fall below these figures they will
CORRESPONDENCE decrease on the other
breeds of live stock and still leave the
farmer the larger margin of profit In
raising good draft classes as contrast
ed with other branches of animal hus-
bandry. ..,-
There is no danger of overproduc-
ton of good draft horses. as the for.
eign demand is of more than ample
volume to take all the surplus that
farmers can produce at remunerative
prices. 1t is an ideal time to raise
good draft horses, as future demand
Is ready to take the surplus at fair
prices. ~

Blue Blood Of Thoroushbreds Neess'
sary For Keeping Up Standard.
A writer in Farm and Progress says:
A mistaken idea that is very mislead-

farmers is in using grade sire to

= The use Of grade sire 10 breeding
any class OF live stock cannot be too
strongly condemned, and | am sure II
those who uee grade sires would rec
ognize the laws that govern breeding
they would not use them.
The temptation to use grade sires,

the low price for which he can be Sc

Even with grade sire from the

stock there would be nine parts of

These facts should demonstrate the
fallacy of using grade sires for i'm

for in them breed, prepotency and

not possess that power to transmit
the desired or breed qualities and i'm

On the other hand. in this process Of

the pure bred sire has that power

The use of grade sire will only
lead to degeneracy or scrubs. disap-

perature without additional ating.
When the weather is cool the milk
should be warmed artiticially. and a
thermometer should be applied to see
that something near 80 degrees is
reached. The thermometer you use
for the churn serves. After calf is
two or three months cid it is not so
sensitive as a younger one and may
safely be fed milk that is cooler.
A separator is valuable asset In
raising calves by hand. The skimmilk
can be got to the calves sooner after
it has been taken from the cows, thus
reducing the chance that 1t may be-
come stale. Don't feed the calves sour
milk one day and sweet milk the next
even IL the milk In each instance is
of the same temperature. The pail
that the calf Is fed out of; should be
kept clean. By using foul pail it is
possible to give calf indigestion.
The most common mistake farmers
make in feeding skimmilk is that of
overlooking, One gallon Of skimmilk
twice day is enough for any calf,
no matter how large ttyis. A little
more can be given to a calf more than
three months old without getting over
the danger line. but be careful. A calf
thriyes best when it Is hungry. II 1t

else. A calf can gorge itself on milk
from the udder without dire injury,
but when 1t gorges itself on skimmillS
1t will pay the penalty in suffering and
may turn up its hoofs. No more is
required because the milk has been
SKINNED than If it were whole. See
that the calf gets just about the same
amount each day

Blow Up Vault But Are Frightened
and Flee Without Securing

BEATRICE, Neb., Sept e.-(Special Tele-
grain -Robbers made an unsuccessful at
tempt TO raid the Bank of Barneston,
twenty miles south Of here early this morn
ing and they were evidently frightened
away as they failed to get into the safe
after blowing up the vault with four
charges of nitro-glycerine.
Mrs. w. Y. Brown and daughter, who
are In charge of the telephone station at
that place, were awakened by the explos-
ions and were in the act Of turning in an
alarm when two of the robbers covered
them with revolvers and forced them to
retire under penalty OF death. City Mar
shall Rawley heard the explosions, but he
thought someone was shooting at dog,
and paid no attention to them After
wrecking the safe the men left In haste
without securing any Of the banks funds.
1t is thought one of the robbers was in
jured by a charge Of nitro-gly cerine, as
blood spots were found on the vault door
when the bank was opened this morning.
The robbers left their tools in the bank,
part of which were stolen from the section
house of the Union Pacific company.
Sheriff Schiek and Deputy Sheriff Acton
hurried to Barneston in an automobile soon
after receiving the report Of the robbery,
1t is believed the robbers are the same
fellows who robbed the Virginia bank q

SKIN DISEASES
HUM0Rs In THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fibrous tissues are all preserved
in healthful state because OF con-
slant nutriment supplied by the blood.
1t is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
tons. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or inhammatory effect re-
mains until the blood is cleansed.
