RAISE A FEW DRAFT HORSES
Plenty Of Pasture and Access to Good
Stallion Are Essentiai-Good
Breeding Necessary.
(By d. c. CAMPBELL. Kansas Expert
ment Station)

CBy d. c. CAMPBELL, Kansas Expert
Tnent Station.)
There is nothing more profitable to
the average farmer than the raising
of few good draft horses, provided
he has plenty Of pasture and access
to a good stallion.
IL a good stallion is not standing for
service in a community, the man who
mas at least FIVE or six good farm
mares can afford to own his own stall
lion and use him with work horses.
A coming two-year-old stallion can be
bought for approximately 500, and
taken in hand at this age, he makes
an excellent work horse. In fact,
stallion is better for having been
worked. He is harder, more docile,
and makes a good work horse. If the
stallion is worked alongside a bred
mare there will be no trouble in han
ding him. He should be made to
earn his keep and he will be the better
therefor.
The raising of draft horses is diff
ferent from that of any other live
stock on the farm. Important factors
are good food and attention. Good
breeding gives the possibilities, but
good breeding is necessary to bring
this out to its fullest extent.
1t is better for the man of limited
means to raise horses only as by
product, because the exclusive raising
of draft horses for market requires
considerable capital. The returns at
first are slow, for draft horses must be
six years old before they are ready for
market. The man who has other cash
crops to meet his expenses can afford
to wait for the returns from his young
draft horses.

New York.-The country person who
bought a gold brick didn't feel half
as badly after he discovered his error
as Jawn McGraw does these days
whenever he thinks about that POL"
Perritt deal,
Jawn got a gold brick in Pol
which is bad enough. But the worst
part of it, from the McGrawian view
point, is that Jawn spent hundreds of
dollars and many anxious hours in try
ing to keep "Reb" Cakes, the mana
ger of the Pittsburgh Feds, from out
bidding Jawn for the gold brick.
This is the yarn:
Perritt used to pitch for the Saint
Looie team and Jawn decided that
he'd do heap better in a Giant uni
form. So at the end of the 1914 sea
son Jawn entered into negotiations
with Miller Higgins. the David
Harum" of baseball, and Miller lived
up to his nickname by letting Jawn
have POL" for a considerable bit of
booty
Well, springtime came in due course,

Instead, POL began flirting outra-
geously with the Feds. Cakes wanted
him. He asked Pol" how much Jawn
wanted to pay him and POL told
him.
'T1 boost that total $1,000 per sea
son." said Cakes.
"Oh. very well-I'm yourn," quoth
"Pol"
Pol" left his home for the purpose
Of reporting to the Pittsburgh Feds.
In the meantime, Jawn McGraw be-
gan to wonder why Pol" didn't put
in an appearance at the Giants camp.
In the nick of time, as the dime novels
put it, Jawn learned that POP had
been quite untrue to him-that he had
been lured away by Federal coin.
Go thou and head him off," wired
Jawn to Dick Kinsella, the Giant ivory
hunter, who was then in Mississippi.

GOOD TREATMENT FOR SHEEP
Real Value OF Animal Is in Wool,
Lambs and Muttou--Weed Destruc-
ton is Only Incidental.

1t is often argued that sheep should
be kent by farmers because they live
in lean pastures and are useful in rid
ding the fields of weeds, getting much
of their living from what other stock
viii not eat and that the farm is much
better rid of. That is all true. but
that should not be the main reason
for keeping sheep In fact. weed de-
struction should be only an incident.
The value of the sheep is in wool.
lambs and mutton. To do their best
in these lines, sheep need and should
have as good treatment as other do
nestle animals.
sheep may live on pastures that
would not sustain horses or cattle, but
they will not do their best on such
pastures. They must eat and thus de-
stroy weeds and even sprouts and
brambles, that other stock would not
touch. but such growths do not make
their best feed.

SUITABLE PLACE FOR CREAM
Arrangement Shown in Illustration
Answers Purpose Quite Well
Little Souring Results.
CBv CARL E- LEEN


Most farmers would deliver a better
grade of cream If they had a suitable
place for keeping it until it is deliv-
cred. No one should attempt to keep
the cream in the cellar or in a large
tank Of water where the daily pump
ing is not sufficient to keep it cool. II
a suitable place cannot be built in a
well-constructed milkhouse the fol-
lowing arrangement answers the pur-
pose quite well.
Caring for the cream at the proper
time by any of the methods given be-

Make a small watertight box of two
inch material and of sufficient size to
hold all the cream cans necessary in
handling the cream. This box should
have a tight-ftting cover, and be di-
vided into sections by means of rods
which will prevent single cans from
upsetting when left alone in the tank.
The best place for this tank is in the
milkhouse. 1t may be placed between

FERMENTED BRAN IS UNSAFE
French Experimenters Find That
When Stored in Heap During
Winter Months Il Ferments.

Bran when stored in bulk sometimes
ferments, so that it causes digestive
trouble when fed to animals. French
experimenters a year or two ago found
that when bran WAS stored in heap
for four or FIVE months during the
winter ii tended to form into Jumps on
the outside of the heap, and on the in
side the Jumps became darkened, and
in some cases black.
These experimenters, from anaIy-
SEES OF different types of bran. thought
that they could determine bran fit for
use by what is known as the acidity
test
Bran which, according to this test,
contains less than 10 per cent OF acid
is o. X That which contains from Is
to 80 per cent of acid is safe to use.
but It soon becomes unsafe. That
which contains more than 80 per cent
OF acid is considered unfit for food

FINN RUNNER NEAR END
HanneS KoIehmainen Is Showing
Signs of Going Back.
Hero of Stockholm OIympiad Falling
to Display od-Tlme Form Because
He Is Too Much Engaged In
Business to Train.

Is Hannes Kolehmainen slipping
That is the question that is agitating
amateur track circles at present and
there are as many opinions as train
ers, runners and experts who can
crowd into the discussions. 1t is a
fact that the great Finn distance run
ner has been showing very poorly in
his recent races, and in his last two
endeavors he has stopped and left the
track before the finish, a most unusual
proceeding for the hero of the Stock
holm Olympiad.
There is a day in every runners
career when he is absolutely at his
best, and in the Kolehmainen case
this day was the one in July, 1912 On
which Hannes and the lamented Jean
Bouin met at 5000 meters in the Stock
holm stadium. The wonderful Finn
may train forever, but he'll never be
the runner he was on that day, or, bet
ter yet, those ten days of Sweden's
great Olympic festival In that Won
derful duel of speed and grit with
Bouin, Koly passed the three miles in
1900. Hannes will never equal these
figures again; therefore, it may be
truthfully stated that he's not as good
on the track as he once was.
Some eastern experts are holding
that Kolehmainen is failing to show
