SIZE OF FARM HORSE
Farmer Wants Animal to Draw
PIOw and Buggy.
Team, Well suIIt, With Snap and
Spirit Is 0esired--iuse Drafters
Are Better Adapted to City

CBy J. M. BELLY

Neither the massive drafter nor the
difninutive pony are what the average
farmer needs. Being an average man
he wants a medium sized horse, one
that will do fgrm and road work conn

harrow or wagon and possibly a car
riage or buggy, for the average farmer

quirements; neither will 700 or 500

The average farmer wants some
thing betwixt and between, as the
saying is. ! should say from 1900 to
1,400 pounds-a team we'll built with
some snap and spirit. one that the
owner or the hired man will hold the
reins over with a feeling of pride and
pleasure. Let the large manufacturing
concerns in the city use the huge
drafters.
knew a team Of 100 pound
horses some years ago. One man
drove them consecutively for nine
years hauling cord-wood in the sum-
mer and fall months. Both OF these
horses were by sires who had a lib
eral strain Of thoroughbred blood in
their veins.
They did farm work regularly until
corn was laid by, then they were
put to hauling on the road. They
were true and stanch draft horses,

once in nine years, and they were
never driven with whip.

know young farmer this year
who is starting out and who bought
two heavy, awkward drafters and also
a 1000 pound mare of good breeding.
He worked the mare In the team with
the two big fellows and whenever he
had occasion to take a trip in his
buggy, always drove the mare, letting
the others rest. and still she held her
own and kept in good order.
Too much has been written and said
advising the average farmer to use
heavy drafters. Let him sell them at
big prices and use more medium
sized horse on the farm.
One years experience will show him
that he is right.

CAREFUL SELECTION OF SEED
Everlasting Persistency In Applying
Method and System That Achieves
Success for Farmers.

The system of seed selection which
has been taught by the seed experts
of the agricultural colleges was es-
pecially designed for the years when
the terminating quality of seed is
doubtful, but it cpplies with equal
force when the best of seed quality
prevails.
The farmer who makes advance
ment in his crop growing is the one
who carefully selects his seed each
year, who applies the seed tester to
each ear of corn that he uses for
seed. 1t is the everlasting persistency
in applying system and method to this
work that achieves success and guar
antees reliability. says Twentieth Cen

STRAW MAKES GOOD BEDDING
Animal to DO Well and Make Profit.
able Gains for It's Owner Must Be
Kept Comfortable.

Too much Of our good. hard-earned
money expended for feed for our farm
animals goes TO waste on account Of
lack Of plenty Of good bedding. Feed
Is an essential thing in fattening our
animals for market and bedding is an
other essential. Some OF US are good
feeders when it comes to giving our
animals plenty of the different foods
we use in the fattening process, but
fall down In the bedding end of the
business
To make an animal do well we must
make 1t comfortable. This we can't
do without plenty of the right kind of
bedding, no matter how generously
we pour out the corn, oats, etc. We
believe that this is particularly true
at this season of the year. The worst
OF the winter is past; we are busy
caring for the spring crop Of pigs and
calves, and the weather seems nice
and warm. The cattle In the fatten-
ing lot are doing all right, and the fat
hogs seem to be doing their best To-
morrow may be a wet, raw day, yet
not very cold. We forget that it is
time when these animals need bed
ding just as badly as they dfd in the
middle of the winter.
We believe that many dollars are
lost in the feeding by overlooking the
matter of bedding even later in the
season. Our cattle in the fattening
lot are very often compelled to lie
down in the mud or stand up. The
spring rains in connection with the
going out of tile frost make our feed
yards damp and muddy. A good load
or two of straw in the right place in
the feed yard will save us many dol
lars, even up until the middle of May.
Well does the writer remember, in
the spring of 1889, stopping planting
corn for half a day to haul bedding
for our fattening cattle. We believe
that no bedding we gave these cattle
in the winter did more good than
did this.
Too many of us, about this time of
the year, are burning up some straw
piles to get rid of them This is sure
ly a mistake. We must get out Of the
habit OF burning straw. It answers
two purposes when used for bedding.
It provides the animal comfort and
makes manure, which is very useful
on any farm. Don't burn the straw.
Save it and make your animals com
Portable and yourself money.

The late celebrated Peter Vinegar,

Advocate, for the purpose of deliver

count of their startling texts. on one
occasion spoke to large assemblage
of the colored population and few
whites at the old colored Methodist
church on Walnut street. He arose,
