The Horse Not Yet Elimin ated
(From The Cleveland Leader

The gains of the motor vehicle il
fields hitherto monopolized by horses
and the carriages, wagons and machines
they draw, are evident to anyone who
keeps his eyes open. Statistical proof
is not necessary. The thing which
figures do show is that Notwithstanding
these changes the world has more use
for horses than ever before.
1t is the old story of adding some.
thing new to the equipment Of civilized
man without taking anything away.
The electric light has become necessity
in all parts of the world, but more gas is
made and sold than ever before. MOI
have both gas and electricity prevented
an ever. widening market for illumipat-
ing oil. What has happened is that the
world has vastly more light, in proper
ton TO its population aud relatively to
its needs, than 1t had before electricity
came into use.
So In the face of the swift advance of
the motor vehicle, the increase in the
number of horses and in their average
market value is extraordinary. Horse
shows are bigger and more popular thar
ever. Horse races are as attractive al
of old. The horses in the world are
worth several hundreds of millions
more than they were ten years ago
There are millions more of them In the
United States alone. In Canada they
they have increased 8 3 per cent in the
last year.
The capacity of mankind for using
conveniences tud luxuries and enlargine
the machinery Of industry and trade, ID
so great that additions and discoveries
are quickly absorbed. The general
growth is so rapid that little is given uI
and abandoned which was ever Of muct
value.

To Grow Alfalfa.

A significant statement comes from
Skowhegan. 1t is no less than an au-
nouncement that the Skowhegan Jersey
Creamery Association is to take up the
matter OF cultivating alfalfa for their
cows. Here is practical agriculture
made useful to all our state.
Our college of agriculture and the ex.
pertinent station at Orono have been
feebly dsbbling in the business and some
years ago threw up the sponge and re.
tired from the field feebly acknowledg.
ing that the matter was too serious and
practical for them to bother with.
In the face Of this plain back down uI
comes the Skowhegan creamery people
determined to win and of course al
know what the result will be. They
are sure to win just as the determined
do-or-die, persistent people have done
all over the land.
In Wisconsin, for instance, they work

blaze the way to success In this limo oi
endeavor, they will be entitled to higt
praise indeed. Tho bust of the first fv,

Fatteniug Show Animals.

At the Western Stock Show in Den
YER, it was freely admitted that the win
| ners in the fat steer classes on foot stood
practically no chance In the carcass
classes later, it seemingly being felt by
| the Judge of the carcasses that those
animals that were sufficiently fat to win
in the ring were too fat to be freely mar
ketable. This suggested to me several
questions.
Isn't there in these excessively fat ami
mails lot of suet that the butcher can
dispose of only by sending it with some
exces sively lean piece of meat?
Does the housewife want piece Of
meat surrounded by two-inch layer OF
fat? Aren't we at times OVERRIDING the
fatteniug of show animals?
But, to pass on to field where our
feet are on a better trodden path.
Aren't the breeding animals in our large
shows excessively fat? Certainly We
must answer in the affirmative in great
many cases. l have even seen draft
stations in the ring land some of them
won premiums) that we're so fat that 1t
is doubtful if they ever would afterward
make successful breeders. We are GER
tainly all aware that il we would make a
heifer barren, about all we have to do is
to get her excessively fat. 1t must be a
| well-known fact among stockmen that
these over-fat animals are very suscepti.
BILE to disease, and that after the disease
is contracted they die much more
promptly than those in moderate con-
dition.
Must we not look upon over-fatness
as an abnormal condition, and one not
to be desired. OF course / realize that
the average show visitor looks for fat
only and can see no good in animals not
fat; but isn't the show educational, and
isn't it about time we started in to edu.
cate even the visitors that the fattest
animal is not necessarily the best ami.

"HRLLor DID YOU RING THE BELL"

The dream of nearly every city man is
to have COW and few chickens and GO
out in The country and get rich. But
the chickens have tsntalizing way OF
dying aud the COW never gives as much
milk as the former owner emphatically
declared she would. Could Mr.. and
Mrs. Newlywed have such cow as the
Missouri State Agricultural College has
theirs would be sure enough Utopia.
Her name is Josephine, aud in a years
milk and butter test she has proved her
self wonder and broken several records
Johanna, Wisconsin COW, holds the
record over her for years milk supply,
but outside of that Josephine Is in a
class by herself. She holds the worlds
milk record for four, six, nine and
eleven months.
During her year, which closed in jan
ury, Josephine averaged seventy-three
pounds of milk day. The best way to
tell Just how much seventy-three pounds
of milk is is to carry it from the barn.
yard to the house. 1t would take more
tugging and more buckets than you
would think. Her record for one day is
40 pounds of milk. This is enough to
supply all the families in the neighbor-
hood
Josephine will celebrate her eleventh
birthday next June, and has five calves
to her credit. Although she is not big
COW she is almost perfectly formed ami
NAL, weighing in working trim 1850
pounds.
During the last year she yielded S62
pounds of butter. This is enough to
supply several big families.
The young couple that moved out
from the city 10 get rich on Josephine
would find that they had just about ali
the work they wanted 10 do. Josephine
is not just an ordinary COW and cannot
be penned up over night, driven out to
pasture in the morning and not watched
over any more. Instead, she has to be
MIXED and fed four times every twenty
four hours. She gives so much milk
that it is absolutely necessary TO milk
her that often. She demands special ra-
tions, too, in the way of cornmeal, bran,
oats, cotton and linseed, clover hay,
cowpea hay, corn silage and dried beet
pulp. During the warm weather she
must be kept comfortable by daily
shower baths, which may be given with
an ordinary garden hose, and two elec-
trio fans must be kept running in her
box stall. In this way she loses no ex
ira time fighting flies, and every ounce
of strength can go into the manufacture
of milk.
Missouri Chief Josephine will be car
ried on special train over the Frisco,
Wabash and burlington Railroad lines in
Missouri. University authorities will
take this means of giving the citizens of
Missouri an opportunity of seeing this
famous COW. On this special train six
teachers from the College of Agriculture
will give instructions on soils, farm
crops, dairying aud better livestock.
The Frisco special train is on the road,
the Burlington started March Z and the
Wabash will start on March 2l.-H.
