their cost of maintenance and raise
colts worth $1,000.
The economy of the heavy mare on
the farm, both from the standpoint OF
doing farm work and producing colts
compared with light and medium
weight mares Is nicely summed up as
follows by Secretary Dinsmore Of the
Percheron Society of America: The
cost of maintenance under farm con-
ditions is about the same, the heavier
mares are more efficient In the work
Of the farm, the colts are ready for
work year younger, and II carried
to the same age, will bring about
twice as much as the colts from the
light weight mares and about one
third or one-quarter more than. the
colts from the medium weight mares"
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking. upon the ques-
ton being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding OF
horses, What kind Of mares should
/ use? want to know all things con-
sidered, whether l should buy 1000
pound, a 1,400 pound or 1,700 pound
mare?" In other words. the land
owner as a business man wanted to
know what would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative eff.
cheney on the farm and what the rela.
tive market value Of the colts pro-
duced, OF these three classes Of mares,
Here is how he thinks out the mat
ter, and his thinking was based on ex-
tended observation and experience:
All three classes can, of course, be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
| is concerned, at about the same gen.
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency, If we rate the 1,700 pound
horse at 100 per cent. liberal allow
ance Is made IL the 1.450 pound horse
| Is credited at 80 per cent, and the
200 pound horse at 80 per cent. The
colts bred to good draft sire will
average somewhere about 1880
pounds; colts from 1,450 pound mares
/ 500 to LOO pounds. and colts from
LOO pound mares, 1900 to 1000
pounds Then, too. the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years OF age. The
same is true OF the medium weight
colts, but buyers are securing the
country for heavy colts. Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier,
or If carried until they are older and
then put on the market, the prices ad.
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1900 pounds will not bring
more than $40 to sits on the average,
because they come in competition
with the great glut of common
light drafters on the market. Those
weighing around 1850 pounds to LOO
pounds will bring 5000 to $240, and
heavy weight geldings will bring 5000
to $3.50. The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

believe that most up-to-date stock
raisers will agree that with such kinds
OF grain as wheat, rye and barley,
grinding and mixing with other feeds
is absolutely essential. For example,
no one would think Of feeding wheat
to hogs without first thoroughly soak
Ing 1t or running 1t through feed
mill. It may not be necessary to grind
1t very fine. but 1t should at least be
crushed pretty completely, or ground

sizes Of sIIos.

A silo IL feet in diameter and 80
feet high will hold when full about
rs tons OF silage. A silo IA feet in
diameter and 80 feet high will hold
about 103 tons. Twelve cows require
SO tons Of silage to supply them zoo
days at the, rate OF 80 pounds day,
A silo 10 feet in diameter and 20 to
"a feet high would be q very good
size for this number Of cattle, If It Ia
desirable to make some preparation
for summer, and as rule It is, then
the silo should be built still higher. On
reasonably good land a yield Of 10
tons per acre Of green corn may be ex.
pected. On very rich land as high as
20 tons Of green corn are produced.

portions Of the grain will not go
through the animal, undigested. This
10 true for old as well as young ami
mails.
Another point upon which most PEG.
pie will agree Is that for the young
growing stock, especially animals
which do not have full set Of teeth,
grinding is necessary. 1t not only en-.
ables young animals to get more OF
their feed. but they eat greater guam
titles and grow much more rapidly
On unground feed Of the type noted
young animal would do very little
good; but If wheat, barley, rye, etc.
be ground and mixed with little corn
they will thrive.
