Breed Good Horses

The time has come when the farm
ers and stockmen of the west must
give more attention to the better
breeding of their horses. The pur-
chase of horses for foreign war pur-
poses has put the horse industry upon
a very substantial basis for some
years to come and it is time that the
hrmers woke up to this situation
ad embarked in the breeding of
yrd horses. Colorado has i'm effect n
stllion license law which provides
tht no horse can stand for public
seyice without al annual examina-
tic by veterinarian to see that 1t
is OF afflicted with any hereditary
licnsing OF grade" stations as we'll
aspure breds. A grade sire can pro-
dee nothing but scrub. A grade
saliion cannot beget grade foal; it
equires a pure-bred stallion to pro-
luce a grade foal, and it requires the
continued use of pure blood in a herd
to raise the grade of that herd. II the
horsemen Of the West would once
understand that grade stallion pro-
duces nothing but scrub they might
perhaps pay little more attention to
the sires they have in their herds.
Those who are looking for profit in
the future from their mares will see
to it that the mares are bred to
nothing but pure-bred stations and
they will make certain that the
stallion to which they breed is really
a registered animal.-Western Farm

Lincoln's Advice to John

Abraham Lincoln knew hardships.
Once in his poverty days he tried to
keep store. He bought it with notes
and sold on credit. and very soon the
store, to use his words, ''winked out
His creditors seized his horse, sad
die and bride and sold them under II
sheriff's execution. A friend bought
them in and Lincoln paid back every
penny. He learned finance from hard
experience.
When he made money he helped
his family. One member was John. II
stepbrother. John was the kind OF
farmer who wanted always to be sell
ing out and moving. Abraham had
helped him, but the time came when
the strong word had to be spoken,
rnd it hsa been praserxsd in. u Letter
full Of common sense. In this letter
Abraham writes to john:
II learned that you are nnXi us to
sell the land where you live and
move to Missouri. cannot but think
such notion is utterly foolish. What
can you do in Missouri better than
here? Is the land any richer? Can
you, there, any more than here, raise
corn and wheat and oats without
work? II you intend to 20 to work,
there is no better place than right
where you are; if you do not intend
to go work, you cannot get along
anywhere. SquirIning and crawling
from place to place can do no good.
You have raised no crp this year, and
what you really want is to sell the
land, get the money and spend 1t.
Part with the land you have, and.
my life upon it. you will never after
own spot big enough to bury you
in"
There are always many Johns in
farming. They want to sell out; they
want to move. In reality they want
the money, to spend it. and never
after do they own spot big enough
for grave. Abraham's final fling at
John was: 500 to work is the only
cure for your case" 1t is the cure for
the other Johns.-rhe Country Gen

How The East Loves Us

How the Atlantic to the eastern
base of the Rocky mountains the set
tiers helped themselves, as they ad-
vanced, to everything they could find
in the then wilderness. The utmost
they paid for the richest lands was
81 so per acre-just enough to pay for
the surveys and the making out of
the deeds.
Some three score years or more
ago some crank started the idea that
inasmuch as the government owned
the public domain; it in reality be-
longed to all the people and II it any
where contained special treasures,
like lead or zinc or coal or iron de-
posits. The idea seemed good one
to the men In the far east, who knew
nothing of the frontier or the hard
ships incident upon its settlement
and redemption, and they caused .
law to be passed to secure to them
selves their pro-rata Of the undis-
covered or undevelOped wealth.
1t was tried for five years and its
unproductiveness and it's manifest
injustice caused congress to repeal
the law without one dissenting vote.
But few years ago the thought
was revived in the east and though
in the interval between the repeal Of
the old law and the resurrection Of
the old thought, the west, and mostly
the deserts of the west, had supplied
the means to the east to enable 1t to
make available it's many resources
and grow rich, this revived thought
took strong hold on eastern cupidi-
ty, and the then president, one
Theodore Roosevelt selected per-
sonal friend. one Clifford Pinchot to
go west, spy out the land and see
what he could find and appropriate.
Thus when Mr.. Pinchot came west,
what he did was in effect to deliver
an ultimatum to the men of the
desert which set to words, was about
this:
"Our great and beneficient govern
ment loves the men of the desert al
most as much rs it does the lovable
mongrels in Mexico; it wants you all
to prosper and so opens the whole Of
this domain to you, only keep In
mind that If you discover any forests,
any streams that will make water
power, any coal or iron mines or oil
lands, you must not disturb them for
they are on the public domain, they
may become valuable after while
and all the people Of the east have a
common interest in them and must
realize their pro- rata of any profits
that may come from them"
But it is idle to inveigh against the
mingled cupidity and stupidity of the
educated idiots who at long range
feel it II duty to rob the west though
they know no more about the real
conditions than they know of the
God they pray for blessings from. So
they continue to pray to God and to
prey upon the west. - GOodwin's
Weekly (Salt Lake City.

A Rancher Says Raise Horses

J. II. Mitchell, writeing to the
Craig Courier, gives the following
timely advice on the horse-raising
problem:
This would seem a good time to
call the attention of the farmers and
ranchers of this section to the fact
that it would seem good business on
their part to consider the horse in
their future plans. In the first place
the farmers of the East and middle
West cannot compete with us on ac-
count of the high price of their graz
ing lands; and then, too, the low
price of gasoline and oil has made it
cheaper to plow, cultivate and har-
vest with machinery than horse pow
er. 1t would appear from reading
various agricultural journals that
many of the hest farmers of the mid
die West testify to this. They do not
figure on horses as they used to. We
all know that the day of the horse is
not over yet. Not any more than 1t
was when he lost his job on the street
car lines. The fact is farmers are INST
like other individuals when stocks
and bonds raise in value every one
wants to buy; when wheat is high
every farmer grows wheat, so the
middle West farmer figures cattle
are high and always will be- so he is
going to sell his horses, farm with
machinery and feed his cattle what
his horses were eating. Reader, these
are only hints you can add two and
two as easy or easier than the
writer"
