The best stations in France are annu-
ally chosen for use in these studs and
since 1855 all stations not coming in spe-
cial classes have been excluded from pub
lie service. Bonuses are paid stallion
owners to induce them to keep their
animals in the country for use by owners
of mares.
The Belgium government maintains a
great horse-breeding establishment and
aids the registration society by an annual
gift of 5000 and appropriates over $4,000
a year to encourage the breeding of good
horses. Germany, which has fine horses,
also encourages the industry by large
cash premiums. and grade" sires have
no standing among the farmers of that
country.
What is needed in this country is the
uniform law defining standards in every
state and liberal appropriations from
the federal treasury to encourage and
promote the breeding of good horses. The
government has established a small
breeding farm in Colorado, for the pur-
pose of improving types of the animals
used in the army, but what is most need
ed is the Improvement in the types OF
horses that are bred on the farms.

In the summer season when the AMI
mails are allowed the range of the pas
ture they can, in a measure at least,
balance their own rations.
Some feeders aim at a maintenance
ration only during the winter season and
depend for profit during the summer.
Others feed for growth or production
during the winter.
In the maintenance ration there is no
profit or no gain during the winter and
the feed is consumed in keeping the ami
NAL alive.
If IA feed is used that contains an
excess of carbonaceous matter the ex-
cess practically is wasted. Upon the
other hand If an excess of protein is con-
tanned in the feed this excess is wasted.
Generally speaking, the feeds produced
on the farm contain an excess OF car
bonaceous matter and it becomes neces-
sary to use some of the concentrates
to balance.
Corn has a nutritive ratio of l to 3,
wheat and oats have nutritive ratio OF
near ! to 6, buckwheat has nutritive
ratio of / to Z.
A well balanced ration for horse is
near / to s, for mich cows l to 5, for a
hog l to s. Then the ash or mineral
contents of feed should have some con-
sideration. An animal must have some
mineral matter in its ration in order TO
grow and maintain a strong framework.
Corn is very deficient in mineral mat
ter. Digester tankage is very rich in
both protein and mineral matter and II
is one of our best materials for balancing
hog ration.
Wheat bran, cotton seed meal and oil
meal. all are much richer in both protein
and mineral matter than the whole grain.
The protein and mineral matter con-
tanned in them make these feedstuffs
valuable for both mich cows and young
growing animals.-A. ]. Legg.

THE BISHOP AND THE BABY

BY MARGARET e. SANGsTER.
A poor little pale-faced baby,
Lost and hungry and cold
With the chill wind pinching her tear
wet cheeks
And ruffling her bright hairs gold.
For just when the busy people
Were hurrying here and yon,
Buying their gifts for the Christmas tree
Her mother was suddenly gone.
She did not cry, poor midget,
But lifted pitiful eyes
At the crowds of careless strangers,
At the gray Indifferent skies.
Jostled and pushed and frightened,
tiny waif on the street,
With the wtntry darkness falling,
And the snowflakes gathering fleet.
She was seen by great kind giant,
With swinging stride he came.
Even then the angels in heaven
Wrote Saint before his name.
From the height of his splendid stature
He stopped to the little maid,
Lifted her up in tender arms,
And babe her not be afraid.
Against his broad chest nestled,
She chung like soft spring flower
That a breeze had caught and carried
To a strong and sheltering tower.
In his thick warm cloak he wrapped her,
The little shivering child.
I'm find your mother, baby,
The bishop said, and smiled.
That smile like a flash of the sunrise
IT'S but a memory dim,
For the years are hasting onward,
And we are mourning him.
The white cold SHOWS are drifting
: Where today he lies asleep.
After his life's long warfare
The soldiers rest is deep.
But of dear things said about him,
OF victories that he won,
No sweeter tale is told than this,
OF his grace to little one
-IIarper's Bazaar.

STOP THIS AUTO KILLmK

we all know that there is entirely too
much risk and rashness in regard to
automobile driving, especially in crowd
ed cities There is not a day that
passes some one is not run down or
killed in such a way. Sometimes the
auto machines kill their owners, but
generally they kill some child or help
less person.
1 understand how that poor italian
felt, when he shot the auto driver, when
he saw his 3-year-oId child run over
in New York city and its little life
crushed out of his darling.
More than that you can hardly have
an easy moment in driving skittish
horse when autos are around. My old
pony ran away with me when these
machines began to circuIat in our town.
Some young bloods from a neighboring
city came up to take part in baseball
game. My pony was drinking at the
public tank with her head down and
these reckless young men not only rush

suit: I came very near being killed

horses perfectly frantic and ungovern-
able. After my old Dolly had got des-

protection. We have sick in our homes
and our friends can't come to help cheer

Corn planted upon land which has long
been in corn is likely to suffer from
the attacks of corn root lice.
Corn planted on land recently in sod
is likely to suffer from attacks of white

Corn must not follow corn when the

Corn planted on clover sod, wheat stub

THE IDEAL HORSE STABLE

well known stockman says: The
ideal stable should have the horse facing
north TO obtain an even temperature, it
should not be too large so that you keep
the animal heat under control, and not
have stable temperature either material
ly raised or lowered when half dozen
animals are either taken out or brought
in.
The ventilation should be perfect and
as strong as possible up to the iniqui-
tous draftpoint Let the ceiling be as
high as convenient. and if the wise build
er has left an inch or so open around
the upper edge, where the stablemen can
not stop 1t up all the better.
No matter where the ventilation comes
from, get it, and here comes in the weak
link, the uncomfortable desire of the sta
blemen to keep the place much too hot
neglecting the horse for the comfort and
convenience of the humans.

DoDDEz IN CHILEAN RED CLovER
SEED

Since July 1, 1910. @ lots OF clover seed
of probable Chilean origin aggregating
$4,000 pounds. have been imported into
the United States. In all of these ship
ments two kinds of dodder seed charac-
teristic of Chilean red-cloyer seed are
present. At a normal rate of seeding,
these shipments are sufficient to seed ap-
proximately 5000 acres, and at this rate
of seeding an average of approximately
$50 dodder seeds would be sown on each
square rod The sowing of this Chilean
seed this spring means that the Cover

Better start the plants in the hot bed

Nut trees are worthy the attention Of
all farmers and in many cases they will
be found profitable to the grower and
easy to get started.
Black walnut, chestnut, hickory and
butter-nut trees are propagated by gath
ering the nuts in the fall before they
have become dry and planting in April
in nicely prepared ground as deep as the
diameter of the nut, either where they
are to grow or in row in the garien-
in the latter case they should be taken
up the first winter ana buried beyond
the power of the frost
If one-half of the top roots are pruned
before setting the young trees the lateral
roots will put forth more vigorous
growth and the trees are more sure TO
make a good, healthy growth.
1t is TO be hoped that these kind of
trees will receive more attention in the
future than they have In the past as
there are few farms that do not have
fence rows or waste lands that could be
made useful by planting TO some variety
of nut-bearing trees.
