brought in, however, have not been on
good strain, and on that account much
disappointment has resulted from their
use, but this is not an argument against
the breed, but an indication of the skin
and care which should be taken in the
purchase of foundation stock. 1t would
be much better, Of course, to breed the
mares to a Percheron stallion If yoL
intend to increase your horse breeding
operations, put if you desire to raise
mules, breed them TO a good jack. 1t Is
not desirable to breed draft mares to u
coach horse or standard bred horse AS
matter, of fact, the farmers Of your
section should get together and bring in
a carload of mares; then you could ar
ford to purchase stallion or a jack at
the same time.
You are right in attempting to raise
your own colts and supply your needs
for work stock, and this is particularly
true where you have several boys whom
you desire to keep on the farm and get
out of the rut of all-cotton farming.
The trouble in horse breeding, as in
many other agricultural industries, is
due to the fact that the farmer has NOT
given the skill and attention to their
breeding and management which success
in the business requires. 1t is just as
as 1t is TO raise large crops of cotton.

would pay you to secure a copy of

Plumb, and a copy of Feeds and Feed.

SOWING CowPEAS FOR GRAIN.
]. r. NJ, Macon, Ga, writes: 1 would
like to know the best way to plant and
cultivate Iron cowoeas for largest yield
of seed.
Iron cowpeas should be planted inn
mediately if weather conditions will per :
nit The ground should be broken to
depth of six to eight inches and "a
good seed bed prepared. Fertilize al
the rate of 500 pounds per acre Of a
formula containing 10 per cent of phos-
phorus, / per cent of nitrogen and 5
per cent of potash. rhe fertilizer may
be broadcasted or distributed through
the drill used TO seed the peas The
peas had best be sown III rows "a inch
es apart, and the ground should be
kept stirred with a fine tooth weeder SO
as to prevent crust forming until
d good stand has been secured. Guilt
walton should continue until the crop
begins to run, when 1t should cease. Our
experience indicates that where peas are
planted as indicated much larger yields
are secured than where they are broad
lcasted or sown closer together, and this
is especially true where one is after a
large yield of grain.

The horses carried on the educational

while not eligible to registry in this
country are to all intents and purposes
nearly a pure strain of this breed. 1t
is, of course, difficult to buy horses or
this character without having chance
TO examine them personally, and one
then needs to be good judge of horses
to secure animals free from disease. A
number of persons have written about
the purchase of Percheron mares to be
brought in in the autumn, and If as
many as a carload could be secured, we
would be glad to send man to purchase
these animals for the farmers of the
state There would be no charge for
his services, though we would expect
those interested to pay his travelling ex-
penses There is no reason why colts
should not be raised under the condl-
tions mentioned in your letter, and no
doubt YOU can have all the Bermuda
pasture you desire bX taking a little
rains to establish the sod. This is a
better grass than either of those you
mention. Then, the judicious use OF
concentrates and peavine and crab grass
hav will provide the balance of the ra-
ton needed for the winter season Grass
In summer, and some green crop TO
craze on occasionally in the winter and

using these mares on the college farm
