WHAT A COLT SHOW DID IN
one COMMUNITY.

Iowa is fast getting reputation
among horsemen as colt show state
More and larger local exhibits of
colts are held in Iowa than in any
other section. They have proved SO
popular and profitable that they arc
multiplying rapidly. Last year there
were only dozen or so in the state;
this year there will be thirty or
more. Next year there is promise of
again as many as that.
That colt shows are popular and
profitable has been demonstrated an
nually for six years at Madrid, Boone
County, where the colt show idea had
its first successful working out in
Iowa.
At the recent sixth annual show of
the Madrid association, something
Nike 1900 people surrounded the ex-
Aibit ring in the public square.
Nearly . hundred choice young ami
mails were entered and Sc of them
were lined up for the judges decision
on their merits. Professor w. J. Ken
nsdy Of Iowa State Collcge,who help
cd to promote the Madrid show and
who has Judged it every year, said
that this array Of IS youngsters was
the finest array of grade drafts colts
ever brought together. When he had
finished with one class of % young
Belgians he declared that it numbered
more choice individuals than he had
seen at the Nebraska and Iowa State
fairs and the Sioux City Interstate
fair put together.
Directly through the influence of
the show at Madrid, and others like
It in adjoining towns. the farmers
for miles around have been stirred
up to breed better horses. Today a
little territory within fifteen mile
radius of Madrid has the reputation
for producing more and better draft

pounds Of slage. The average
weight of the lambs in this lot was
1882 pounds each. Fighty-two per
cent of them were strong and Is per
cent weak. 1t is we'll to say in pass
ing that the Is per cent weakness in
lambs was due, in the judgment Of
the experimenters, to the advanced
age of the ewes producing them
rather than to the evil effects of tho
ration.
In discussing these results, John
NJ. Evvard, experimenter in animal
husbandry at the Iowa station, made
these important statements:
Let it be understood that the Ami
NAL Husbandry section does not at
the present time advise the feeding
of corn silage as an exclusive rough
age. Neither does it advise that
corn silage be fed along with a grain
ration Of corn only. In the light Of
our present investigation this would
be disastrous. BY all means some
clover or alfalfa hay should be fed
with the silage and the shepherd
should also be careful not to allow
the ewes to eat over or pounds Of
silage for each pound of hay. Silage
as feeders know, is highly palatable
and the ewes will leave clover hay to
eat it. The thing to do in feeding ST.
lage is to limit it strictly to the above
proportions
"Along with this ration Of silags
and hay, alfalfa hay being better
than clover, enough grain should be
fed to keep the ewes growing nicely.
The grain required will not be much,
not exceeding more than 1-3 lb. per
day. Equal parts of corn and oats
will answer very nicely for this. A
little bran would not be out Of place.
If oats or bran are not available, lin
seed oil meal mixed with corn in a
proportion of to will give excel
lent results"
The above experiment is being car
ried through again this winter with
some notifications.

TRAPPING AN ORCHARD PEST

There are two periods In the year
when rabbits are most likely to in
lure the fruit trees-late in the fall
when green vegetation has been de-
stroyed by heavy frosts, and during
the periods OF heavy snow in the
winter.
The best plan for protecting the
trees is with a tree wrapper. There
is a manufactured wrapper, consist
ing of thin sheets of wood 10 inches
high and twelve inches wide, which
are very convenient; they cost about
IS per thousand, and will last for
two years. Several phys of old news
papers or building paper will answer
equally well, but it is more difficult to
put in place than the wood wrapper.
A red paper, however, must not be
used; 1t is likely to iniure the plant
tissue lying just below the outer bark.
Some orchardists leave the prun-

ers for the general market than any
like territory in Iowa or in any other
ttate. Furthermore, experienced
horsemen say that the farmers of
this territory get from $25 to $50
more per head for their drafters
than the. farmers Of any other Sec
ton in the country. Buyers far and
wide know this district for its fine
heavy type grade horses, and they
come here for them, sometimes TAX
ing as many as 100 at one time from
a single shipping point.
Professor w. ]. Kennedy says that
the horse industry in Iowa needs .
colt show in every county and he
proposes that the state agricultural
society get behind the project and
encourage it. Colt shows are easily
organized and maintained. That at
Madrid was promoted by c. V.
Grigsby, who has since been regular
ly put at it's head. He first enlisted
the stallion owners. They put up
the cash prize money then and now.
Later, however, they interested the
business men of Madrid. who now
contribute merchandise prizes In ad-
dition to the cash. In every one of
the six classes this year three cash
and five merchandise prizes were Of
fered, eight in all, besides the hand
some prize ribbons. Any grade colt,
foaled within the year, is eligible for
the show. 1t is limited to grade
colts, because the purpose is to en-
courage the average farmer to pro-
duce better horses. There are no
entry fees and the only cost to the
farmer is the trouble in bringing his
animal to the show.
The show has done moro than to
encourage better horse breeding. It
has also united the farmers better,
stimulated interest in better agricul-
ture along all lines, and brought
town and country into closer rela-
tionship. Iowa State College is
ready to give every assistance in or
ganizing and judging these exhibits.

will rarely injure the trees as long
as they have access to material of
that kind.
Some traps are effective in Kidding
the orchard of rabbits. The best of
all of them can be made at home
very easily. 1t is the simple old we'll

s'Iage Feeding Of Breeding Ewes.
When it is fed along it'll clover
or alfalfa hay, silage makes a gooe
winter ration for breeding ewes.
That fact stands out in the results
Of feeding e> periments started at the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Sta,
ton year ago. Along with it stand
these other valuable facts: The lamb:
dropped by ewes fed thus were of
maximum weight and strength. The
cost Of the we'll balanced silage ration
was half a cent per day per eve less
than others equally as efficient.
The results of the experiment have
not yet been published, but the ex-
pertinent station is giving these few
facts in advance because the informa-
ton is especially timely and valuable
now.
The breeding ewes were fed in four
lots, each on a different ration. They
were started on their special feed No
vember 1 and the experiment ended
about April 1 last spring. The ra-
tions and the results from feeding
them were as follows:
Lot Glover hay according to ap-
petite, plus a grain mixture of corn,
four parts, oats, two parts, and bran,
one part. The lambs from this lot
averaged st birth S.192 pounds and
100 per cent Of them were strong in
vitality.
Lot 2-Clover hay according to ap-
petite and corn silage, allowing twice
as much silage as hay, plus a grain
mixture Of corn, one part; oats, two
parts; bran, one part. The average
weight of the lambs in this lot was
1896 pounds at birth and 100 per
cent Of them were strong.
Lot 3-Corn silage according to ap-
petite, plus a grain mixture of oats,
one part, and bran, one part. The
lambs in this lot averaged s.O23
pounds at birth and 100 per cent were
strong.
Lot 4-Corn silage according to APP
petite, plus cotton seed meal fed at the
rate of one pound to every thirty
