 meat Staion)
 In no other one line of live stock production has there been such a lack of study or system as that of horse production. For many years the farm CTS have practiced haphazard meth ods of breeding, feeding. care and management as we'll as preparation for market They have bred and reared horses without any regard to their own local demand or the re- quirements of users from a distance
 Horse breeding when judiciously carried on has been a profitable busi- ness for American farmers. If horses are bred with a definite object in view. as some special class, one need not be afraid of poor market How ever, farmers who do not exercise care and business methods in the pro- duction of desirable sorts will un- doubtedly find that they have too many misfits on their hands that can not be sold at a profit.
 To be a successful horse breeder a man must be thoroughly familiar with the horse market. know the various classes, and set about to produce the animals that are in demand. In the great markets, horses are classed ac- cording to their work. It is impossi- ble to draw hard-and-fast lines be- tween some of the classes, but most of them are fairly well defined. A horse that is known in one part of the country by one name may be diff ferent from horse which is referred to by the same name in another part. However, there are certain distinct classes which are given the same name the world over. and it is with these that the farmer should familiar ize himself.
 After the farmer knows the various types in greatest demand on the mar kst he should aim to produce superior

LANDS FOR SPRING FLOWING
Diskins Plays important Part in Break ing Up stubble Into Small Pieces
 Prevents Evaporation.

CBy JAMES D. MARSHALL. Colorado
 Experiment Station)
 In the management of land for spring blowing, disking plays a most important part. When land has stub ble on it. disking breaks up the stub ble into small pieces so that when 1t is plowed under a more uniform dis tribution of the organic matter is assured and the danger of retarding the upward movement of water is greatly reduced. Furthermore, the stubble or organic matter will decom- pose much more rapidly.
 When manure has been applied to the soil in the nature Of a surface dressing. disking will incorporate it much more evenly in the soil and re duce the harmful effects of excessive fermentation which is closely associ- ated with incorporation in the form of layers as is the common occurrence when the manure is simply plowed under. Disking also prevents drying out of the soil as the capillary water will have free access to the surface layer
 Soil that is dry. if disked before blowing, will make a much better seed bed, as clods will be less liable to form and the seedbed will be more mellow, more compact and the sur face would be less subject to excessive evaporation.
 When spring blowing is delayed, disking the soil in the early spring prevents excessive evaporation as the operation mulches the soil. Should rain come during the early spring time. the disked soil will be in good condition to absorb the moisture.
 Root crops that are to be planted on spring plowed land will do much better if the land has been disked previous 10 blowing as more friable condition of the seedbed is obtained. the moisture content may be greater. and greater amount of available food material may be present

Care of Meadow

Where the gophers have worked up the meadow sod, take a common gar den rake, smooth down the dirt mounds, sprinkle seeds over them. brush lightly again with the rake and you will not only avoid running your sickles through the dirt and dulling them, but good set of grass will spring up and cover the ground If a considerable area is worked up. hitch to the harrow and Ieve, down the gopher mounds. seed them and harrow again after seeding.

NOTES PICKED UP
 IN POULTRY YARD
Little Details Make Difference Between Success and Fail-
 ure With Chickens.

Keep the hens well supplied with water to drink. and see that the chill is taken off it in the cold weather.
 If you have not been in the habit of giving them all they need, you will be surprised at how much they will drink. They should have all they want, but 1t must be clean and not too cold. If a hen gets chilled she will stop laying.
 It is the little details that make the difference between success and failure in poultry raising.
 The outlets that are filling the egg basket their first winter are the ones that delight the farmers heart, and the poultry man who has such a flock is now reaping the reward of his well-managed business.
 PuIlets matched in March or April and properly taken care of. should begin laying in November, if not be- fore. and continue laying all through the winter. when the price for eggs is highest.
 The egg shells from the eggs used in the kitchen should be dried and fed to the hens. They will help out the supply of lime which the hens must have in some form, to prevent them laying soft shelled eggs.
 Be sure to crush the shells so there win be no danger of teaching the hens to eat eggs.
 The very best of food without nIentiful supply of pure, fresh water will fail to induce the hens to lay.
 Reduce the drinking part Of your heps' ration and the egg yield will .oon be reduced, for water Is the nrincipal substance in an egg and II cannot be reduced.
 Next to pure afr. water is the cneap est thing we can supply our poultry.
 If the mash you feed is given to the ,oUIs warm these cold days. 1t will he invigorasing. but if it becomes cold oy frozen before it is consumed t is very unsuitable food. as the fowls -tu then be compelled to take consio- er.ble cold water in the mash. wnicn chills them.
 Don't forget the hens dust bath: They must have 1t to be heaitny ane haSpy.

Dry Farm Fruits.

Tombstone epitaph., 1915-04-25
Comfortable Stock,

Keep the poultry comfortable. Good food, good care and comfortable quarters are the important factors in making poultry pay. If the hens are getting the aforementioned attention and still not laying, they should make up for lost time when the hatch{ season comes around.
