Evidences of this are seen upon the
| streets of our cities, upon our farms
| where the wear and tear is much less
| severe, and even in the show ring where
only the individuals are shown. The
/ defects of conformation and quality are
physical characteristics and as such
are being transmitted to the offspring
In each generation this character-pooI
feet-is being intensified in all our
| broods of horses, especially the draft
breeds, because in our endeavors to
| obtain size, quality, speed and the
other desirable characteristics. we have
been overlooking the very first and most
important requisite of good horse
WelI-shaped, strong and durable feet"
The Ignorance of those who shoe
horses is sometimes appalling
nine-tenths Of them don't know more
about the job than do you"
Every hOrseshoer should be com
PEELED by law, said T. H. Terry of
Bavaria, who entered into the discus
sion, ito pass an examination before
starting in business. 1t is serious
question. Thousands of horses have
been ruined by incompetency."
Demand for Draft Horses.
'eThe demand for draft horses is
stable, and remunerative prices are
afforded" said Wayne DtnSmore Of
Chicago secretary Percheron Society
of America, in speaking of Draft
Horses in America"
THAT demand is broad as is shown
by the fact that although the produce
ton has increased in the last Is years
the prices have gone up. It is difficult
to find good draft horses.
1.-The use in the cities is becoming
more general regardless of the fact that
mechanical means of transportation is
now popular. I believe the market is
only in it's infancy. The farmers are in
horses, as they can work the Mares
In the afternoon Prof G. s. Hine of
the State Agricultural college spoke on
Building and Filling the Silo.'
previous to 1910 there were only
40 or so silos in Kansas said Profess
sor Hine. I'm 1910 there were about
400 put in. and in 1911 at least 600
silos were erected. The silO is an
economic building on the farm be-
cause it converts into valuable feed,
cOrnstalks and products that would
otherwise be wasted. Where corn is
fed from the shock about so per cent
only Of the food value is utilized.
Approximately $50 600, 900 worth of
corn is raised in Kansas annually. The
stalks have a feeding value of about
So, 900, 900. when pastured, but If put
in silos they would double in value or
be worth about SIS, 100000 to the feed
ers of the state
