FIG. xX.-GOOD TYPE OF DRAFT MARE.
neck should be full as we'll as long
The neck of 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 prepoteut breeding
animals
The shoulder should be neither too
straight nor too sloping. A straight
shoulder interreres with action and is
usually associated with stubby pas
/ tern and generally with a long back
as well. 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 course 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 lhan 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 tie hips back,
called the Group. should be broad long
and not too slOping. 1t is the hlnd
quarters that furnish the prOpelling
power. and size and massiveness here
are all important points. The thighs
should he 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 well down
Next in Importance is constitution.
This is Indicated by a 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 i'm 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 quality will do
more work than a coarse loosely put
together animal 500 pounds heavier
Quality is indicated by fairly thin,
pliabls s.in: 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
fat appearance There should be as
little meatiness rs possible at the hook
and between the tendons and the
canon bone. The haof should be Of!
dense hard horn and iu hairy legged
breeds the feather should be fine and
silky.
There is nm old saying. NO foot. no
horse" The feet and legs are very
important. since they must do the pro-
pelling and receive All the hard knocks
Of heavy service The forearm and
gaskin should be heavily muscled. The
muscles in these regions cannot bo
easily covered with fat, so their size Is
an Indication Of the animals museling

T AISING draft horses is one of
the most profitable branches
IN 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 leay-
ing the colts for profit
In selecting mares from which to
raise draft colts size is an important
consideration. \ 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-
er is appearance. \ draft mare should
be wide. deep and massive. she
should be fairly low set. but not so
short legged hat 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 he of fair size. clean cut.

RALPH SIMS
 INSTANTLY KILLED

Ralph Sims, (colored) porter on No. g, was killed at Fairview on Wednesday by falling under the train. He was found by men working along the track, and it is a mystery how he met his death, as No is vestibuled train. but it is surmised he opened the vesti bule and fell off and re bounded beneath the wheels of-the train. His right arm was smashed up frightfully; his left arm was nearly as bad and his left leg was almost severed at the knee the skin hold ing it together The shoe on his left foot was cut and torn to frag- ments and from alt indications he was rolled along the track for some distarce by the trucks and must have met a terrible death, as the look of horror and fright upon his countenance indicated that he re- alized the inevitable result of his disastrous fall.
 | The train crew did not discover his absence from the train until they had reached Holmes and it was presumed that he had failed to |board the train at Williams.
 When the conductor arrived at Ash
 Fork he telegraphed back and found out that he was not here and be did not ascertain the whereabouts
 and awful fate of his porter until he had arrived at Seligman.

MILL CLOSED FOR
 ANNUAL REPAIRS

Last Saturday evening when the mill whistle sounded it meant about two months rest for the large machinery in the big building. The annual close down for repairs and overhauling the machinery had been put off as long as possible owing to heavy orders for lumber. but the time could not longer be put off, the mill having run steady since the 4th of April The ma chinery in the big mill is all of the latest and best makes, and a longer run without overhauling might cause big loss.
 It is expected that it will take at least two months to make the re. pairs and clean up the machinery as it should be done
 For a short time it is probable a large number of the men will be laid off, but that will only last g week or so, and then most all oi the large force of men regularly employed there will be back a
 work The common laborers will
 be put at work cleaning up th' yard, while the white men will finc work about the mill and machinery
