versity.
Perhaps in no other line CT agricul
tural work has there oeen such lack
OF systematic study as in horse breed
ing. Farmers have simply bred and
reared horses without any regard to
the demand of the consumer. AS a
result the horse market has often been
flooded and the prices been so low
that the farmers have sold all their
animals at a low price simply to get
rid of them. In ten years horses have
become scarce and hard to get at any
price. Then a reaction took place and
the farmers are once more breeding
In the same old haphazard way and
unless something is done to procure
better sires and dams, history will re
peat itself.
The heavy draft horse is one of the
most profitable classes of horses that
a farmer can raise. In judging draft
horse there are six main heads that
must be observed closely, namely, gen
eral appearance, head and neck, fore
quarters, body, headquarters and sex
ual organs. These heads are each sub
divided into several minor points
which must be observed and studied
from all angles in a systematic way il
order to be able to take adyantag
and pick out the good and bad quail
ties of draft horse.
The general appearance is judged
by standing away from the horse
about twenty feet and looking at him
from both sides and both ends. Est:
nate in your own mind the weight and
height, observe closely the general
.Jrm and conformation. This is the
most important quality of a good draft
horse. See that he is a broad, smooth.
massive, symmetrical, square-bodied
individual with all bony projections as
haunch, STILES, shoulders, and around
the eyes, well covered with flesh The
skin must be mellow, hair smooth and
fine. Every action Of the horse must
be observed with the utmost care.
The stride must be regular, straight,
straight, springy, free, and the feet

The eyes are of much Importance

THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

isfactory Proof of "Why God Per-
.nits EviIv

rs o'p'C bc Sds-
isfactory Proof of why God Per
mits Evil"
One of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today is,
"Why does God permit evil?" As we
look about us in the world we observe
that it is filed with sorrow and trouble,
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumeratc. and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS 1T.
We realize that He is almighty and
that He could prevent it if He wished
We read in His Word that He is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and We
know how much that means; yet of
tentimeS, it seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question is made very
clear in a book entitled, THE Divine
Plan of the Ages" Every statement
is backed by Scripture, and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
HAS ALLOWED SIN AND DEATH
TO REIGN FOR THESE LONG SIN
THOUSAND YEARS. This and many
other subjects of deep interest to all
of Gods people are discussed fully and
in language easy of comprehension.
