One day a commercial traveller went
up to an old negro in little town in
the eastern part Of the state and said

I'll give you two dollars"
The old darkey looked him carefully
over, accepted the two plunks, and
said: All right, boss, just foller me-"
He led the thirsty one through the

and behind when she walks. Her

well. Would she do to breed from?"
Emphatically, NO!
The following suggestions may be
outlined for the guidance OF farmers
in conducting thier horse breeding
operations.
Commence grading up the farm
horse stock by mating carefully Sc.
lected, muscular, pure-bred registered
stations. Continue year after year to
use the best obtainable pure-bred
males Of the character and breed first
chosen and never out-cross to any
other breed.
Do not use any stallion that is un-
sound, unsuitable, partially impotent
unlicensed or not registered in stud
book recognized by the department Of
agriculture, Washington, D. G.
Do not breed from any mare that is
deformed, sick, disesed, unsound, un-
suitable, a poor mixer, or a cross
mother.
Properly feed, shelter and care for
the pregnant and nursing mares and
from birth until ready for market,
nourlsh their offspring in such way
as to prevent stunning and insure per-
feet development
Encourage the working of pure
bred stations sufficient to keep them
healthy, muscular, prepotent and pre-
vent pampering, weakness, partial i'm
potence and actual sterility and SO
tend to insure vigor, strong constitu-
ton and health In their offspring at
birth and throughout life.
As soon as possible stop working
scrub horses on the farm and in their
place use grade horses of good quality
and character well fed, properly
groomed, furnished with attractive,
nicely kept harness and hitched to
modern implements. wagons and car
riages.
Organize township and county asso-
Citations for community breeding of
horses Of the same blood, character
and quality and to more readily OBJ
tain pure-bred stations and mares
and insure a profitable market for
surplus horses.
Encourage representative exhibits
at the county fairs, of pure-bred stall
lions and mares and grade mares,
gelding. farm teams, and young stock
by pure bred sires. Discourage the
of classes and premiums for
grades and mongrel or scrub stations
or thier progeny.
Boost for the betterment of the
horse breeding industry and do moth
Ing to retard its progress.

BOYS View Of Policemen.

A boys view of policemen is thus
quantity expressed in the examination
papers OF the Albert Street school.

"One of our well-known men in the
large towns is the policeman; he is a
very large man, and looks very smart
in his suit of blue.
IF he sees boy who ought to be
at school, he tries to catch him and
take him to school, where he is pun
ished.
His duties are many. At night he
walks quietly down the streets in case
there are any robbers. He
carries a lamp about with him to see
where the robber escapes, If the rob-
Der hides, he will be traced. The po-
Iiceman carries a staff, whistle, anG
some handouts in case he needs

raising colts to the age of three
years. The average for the United
States is found to be $1O4.O6; or, If
we deduct the value of work done by
the horse before he has passed his
third year, namely, $7.52, the net cost
is $96.54; this is TOO per cent. Of
the selling value of such horses,
$1S617.
The cost varies widely by states,
from an average of $69.50 for New
Mexico, $71.59 for Wyoming. and
SS2A7 for Texas, to $156.6O for Rhode
Island, $l49.98 for Connecticut, and
S141.S0 for Massachusetts.
Itemized, the cost is made up as fol-
lows: Service fee, $12.96; value of
time lost by mare in foaling, $1O06;
breaking to halter, 1922; veterinary
services, $2.04; care and shelter, first
year $4.96, second year $3.50, third

FEED FOR WORK
TEAM IN SUMMER
Bad Management to Stuff Horses
During Idle Season and
Starve Them Later.

One Of the worst mistakes a farmer
can make is to feed heavily during
the winter season, when work IS
slack and to feed slightly l. summer
when work continues all day and
every day. Only last week, says a
writer in an exchange, saw a team
owned by a young. but at the same
time rather opinionated farmer. THIS
team was fed during the winter sea-
son all the grain and forage they
would consume.
AS the season advanced the price
of grain and hay became higher.
Money might have been little tight
perhaps. at any rate feed was sold
that should have been kept. the
working season arrived. Crops must
he nut in and cultivated, feed was
short. and the teams suffered
when saw them they were living
skeletons, and deprecated % per
cent so far as cash value was con-
cerned. This seems to me to be
mighty poor management stuthng your
work horses in the idle season and
starving them at the very time that
they need the best care.
Just think a moment, dear farmer
Of the plentiful food that the wom-
en-folk prepare for you three times
daily. and most especially during the
harvest season. and then imagine
how the horse must feel that pulls
plow, binder, mower or wagon an
day. and on insufficient feed!
There is no economy, or even Dusl-
ness sense in feeding sparingly dur
ing the long. hot and busy summer
season. A pair Of strong, fell-fed and
wellkept horses or mules viii DO the
work Of any four head Of half-starved
ones you can pick up.
