The best breeds OF draft horses are

country as any that can be imported
The leading characteristic Of good
draft horses Is masslveness, for their
chief usefulness Is the hauling Of
heavy loads. In consequence power,
not speed, is desired. To possess this
power horse should be compact, low
set, or short legged, and be able to
throw a great deal of weight into his
collar without losing secure footing.
A draft horse of the best type should
therefore weigh at least 1900 pounds.
and In localities where the heaviest
breeds are common any animal under
this Is classed as light drafter. In
good drafters the chest is deep and

COW IS EXPENSIVE
In tDahyhg It Pays to Build
Up Herd with Dairy
Sire.
BY 4. ). MCGUIRE,
Extension Division, Minnesota College
Of Agriculture.

Of Agriculture.
Most of the dairying in Minnesota
and adjoining states is done with tho
common COW. The belief that one COW
is about as good as another in dairying
has cost farmers millions of dollars.
There is a great difference in cows,
even in common cows. Two cows may,
to all outward appearances, be alike.
They may be kept in the same barn and
fed and cared for in the same manner,
yet one OF the cows will average 50
per cent more net profit during a Pc
Rod of five years than the other, or
during any length of time. Some COM
mon COWS are capable of producing
ESQ pounds of butter-fat year; when
common cows will make 800 and more
pounds of butter-fat year, while a
great many common cows will not
produce $50 pounds of butter-fat year
ly, no matter how well fed
Contrasting Necessary.
Only by weighing the milk from
each COW and testing it for the per
cent of butter-fat can a cows real
production and value be known. 1t is
not much work. Have a small shelf
put up in the barn where the milk is
strained, on which to keep a record
sheet, a spring balance, and lead
pencil, and less than half a minutes
time for weighing the milk from each
COW will enable one to keep record.
In dairying it pays to keep dairy
bred cows. There are few farmers
who would be justified in selling their
common cows and buying dairy-bred
cows, and this is not necessary
Through the use of pure-bred dairy
sires of good producing ancestry, a
herd of common cows can be changed
to a herd having all the appearance
and much of the quality of pure-bred
dairy COWS, in the course Of from ten
to fifteen years. The half-blood dairy
| COWS are nearly always a considerable
improvement over their mother, the
common COW. Three-quarter blood
and the seven-eights blood COWS fire.
quently show the breed of the sires
to such a degree that they cannot be
distinguished from pure-bred animals,
and they possess dairy quality as WE'LL
