must be an economic adjustment Of
land, labor and capital. The speaker
likened the farm to a mammoth de-
partment store and advised the farm
er to keep books" Of very depart
ment of the farm that he might be
able to make the various departments
balance and not permit the success
of one to be diminished by the losses
in another. He asked the boys to
'lay Out" their farms that thew might
have a better knowledge of how the
work is progressing in each depart
ment.
Professor Richards Of the agricul-
tural college talked on horses. He
asserted that the weight of the draft
horse should be 1900 pounds or over
or about 1900 pounds for market.
Breeding stock should not be too
heavy. he said, because blemishes are
that are more than ordinarily heavy.
In selecting the draft horse particular
attention should be given to the
shoulder and depth Of body. the ex-
pert asserted. The animal should
have a short coupled back. long un-
and sloping shoulder. Good
depth Of body indicates wind capacity.
The professor said to select the draft
horse with round. smooth feet. indi-
be rather large boned with wedge
shaped legs.
In his lecture Professor Richards
exhibited some of the prize winning
animals at the state fair, pointing out
their good points and advising the
boys to watch for these particular
features when next they are called
upon to. Judge a..horse- or perhaps
make . purchase for their own farm.
