II is not too late in the season t.

These plants are labor-savers; for,

selection Is made, abundant blooms
may be had from early in spring
when the moss-pink (phlox subulata)
covers itself with flowers, to late fall.
when the hardy chrysanthemums
withstand the early frosts.
These plants require no greenhouse,
hotbed. or window garden, for they
are really hardy. However, 1t is well
to protect the young plants their first

Herbaceous plants are propagated
in several ways-by seeds, division.

The breeding of heavy draft horses
IL one of the most profitable branches
of live stock farming Few farmers
realize the Importance of size in
draft horse when put on the market
either in public or private sale.
horse that weighs less than 1900
pounds Is not considered a draft horse
In any OF the horse markets of the
country, yet the mares kept on the or
binary farms are usually lighter than
that This accounts for the small,
scrubby lot of horses that are con
stantly being put on the market at a
loss to the breeder.
This was well illustrated at a sale of
grade horses recently held In the La
mer sale barns at Salina, says the
Kansas Industrialist Here the horses
of good size were readily bought at
good prices, while some of the lighter
ones could scarcely be sold at any
price. There is an increasing demand

expense of operation. The motor
truck has it's place on the farm IL
can be used for blowing and heavy
hauling. but can never replace the
draft horse. II the draft horse Is
permanent part of agriculture. more
attention should be given to Its pro
duction.
There is an increasing demand Tor
heavier horses on the farms. Deeper
and better tillage must be practiced In
the future. and this requires heavier
machinery and more motive power
There are two ways of increasing this
power. One is by increasing the num-
Der of light horses. But the most eco
nomical way is to increase the weight
of the horses. This will reduce the
farm labor force: will decrease the
| amount of equipment necessary In re-
guring less stable room and less
/ harness. and the cost of feed will be
| lessened
All farmers and breeders who are
| breeding horses for commercial pur-
poses should replace their small mares
with heavier ones. This must be done
gradually by adding a few good draft
mares to the herd every year and sell
ing the poorer ones. Sometimes good
colts may be reared from inferior
mares by mating them to a good stall
lion. but better ones always will be
the result of the mating of better
mares to the same stallion. There are
plenty of good stations Throughout
the state. but the mares ara lacking
and until the farmers come 10 realize
the value of the right kind OF mares
the profit in breeding will be low.

1t was on account of wet. cold weather
early in the season which caused
the potatoes to rot before coming

which may be turned under the next

ASSISTING TO PREVENT
FRE|GHT-CAR FAMINE

To help the railroads. and thereby
make possible the prompt delivery Of
the 1913 automobile crop, is the talk
which Detroit manufacturers are now
facing. Competition for empty freight
cars is already keen; a real famine in
rolling stock is predicted for April and
| May.
At least one of the big manufacture
crS meets this crisis we'll prepared.
This is the S~tudebaker corporation,
which has just made an investment
of over 100000 in the very latest ia
]cilitics for swift, efficient handling of
freight. Studebaker cars are now
leaving this new loading plant by the
hundred, on schedule, two trainloads
at once.
Students of traffic conditions are
interested in the Studebaker loading
plant a of its novelty and on
account of the striking way by which
it solves a peculiar sidetrack condition.
The main line tracks back Of the
Studebaker plants are 20 feet above
the level of the factory yard. The new
loading plant is merely a massive
shelf, two city blocks long, level with
he tracks and supported on cement
piers. On the shelf are sidings and a
platform; under the shelf is a great
storage space.
Along a factory street comes a
steady procession of finished cars;
under the shelf they pass and on one
of the two hydraulic elevators. Up
they go, two automobiles in each load,
to the platform which iS level with tha
freight car floors. Loading is steadily
in progress on both sides of the plat
form at the same time.
