Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1915-02-13

Good underpinning, consisting of
good legs and feet, is essential.
Good, clean, heavy bone is necessary
in order to afford attachments for
the heavy muscles and to stand the
heavy wear and tear. The cannon
bones are the best indication of the
bone throughout. In this region the
bone should feel firm, and the ten7y
dons should stand out distinctly
from the bone, giving the cannon
bones when viewed from the side a
wide, fat appearance. The knee
should be broad and deep when
viewed from the front. The hook
should be broad from front to back,
and of strong structure. The. pas
terms should be fairly long and slop-
ing. While some draft horses
possess too long and too sloping
pasterns, a much larger number
have too short and too straight pas
terms. The foot should be fairly
large and the horn of the hOof dense.
The dark-colored hoofs are the most
popular, as it is thought they denote
greater durability. In the draft
horse as much quality as is consist
ent with the required substance is
desirable, but quality should not be
obtained at the sacrifice of too much
weight.
In temperament the draft horse is
generally Emphatic, but he should
not be too sluggish. While the ma
ture of his work requires him to be
steady and easily managed, til is
nevertheless essential that it should
be performed willingly and with
some snap and vigOr.
The draft-horse gait is the walk.
The stride should be rapid and of
good length, and the feet should be
carried straight forward. This kind
of action renders possible the COW
ering of considerable ground in the
least possible time. While the walk
is the normal gait, the ability to trot
well is desirable. Often faults not
noticeable at the walk are brought
out at the trot.

spread out under the hover with the
heads of some protruding from
under the hover cloth. Too much
heat will cause them to pant and
gasp and sit around with their
mouths open.
1t is impossible to state for each
case at what temperature the brood
ers should be kept to raise young
chickens; however, it will run from
80 degrees up to 100 degrees in
some cases, as some broods of
chickens seem to require more heat
than others, an average being ga de-
grees to 95 degrees for the first
week or ten days, when the temper
ature is gradually reduced to SO de-
grees for the following ten days,
and then lowered to 20 degrees or
rs degrees for as long as the chick
ems need heat. This depends some
what on the season of the year and
the number of the chickens, as it
can be readily seen that the heat
generated by so chickens would raise
the temperature under the hover to
higher degree than the heat given
off by lesser number, consequently
the amount of heat furnished by the
lamp or stove will have to be reg
ulated accordingly. AS the chickens
grow larger and need less heat, the
lamps may be used only at night,
and later only on cold nights. The
heat is usually cut off at the end of
A or 5 weeks in March or April in
the vicinity of Washington, d. c.,
while winter chickens have heat for
8 or 10 weeks, or until they are well
feathered. Care should be taken to
prevent chilling or overheating the
chickens, which weakens them and
may result in bowel trouble.
Chickens need a cool place for
scratching and exercising in addition
to heat. Indoor breeders and how
ers can be used successfully in I'M
heated brooder houses except dur
ing the coolest weather in most Sec
tons of the country. Outdoor brood
ers usually have a cool compartment
for exercising, where the chickens

do better than larger ones under this
method The litter in those breeders
must be changed frequently, and the
chickens must be watched carefully
and closely to see that they are COM
Portable and do not sweat. Fireless
brobders may be used in connection
with heated breeders, using the lat
ter for z to 10 days and reducing the
heat, which should be governed by
the season Of the year and outdoor
temperatures, before transferring
the chickens to the fireless brooder.
When first placed in the freless
breeders the chickens may have to
be put under the hovers frequently,
until they learn where to get warm.
Good results are also obtained with
these brooders when used in a heat
ed room.
Correct Temperatures for BrOOding.
The best temperatures at which to
keep "a brooder or hover depends
upon the position of the thermome-
ter, the style Of the hover, the age
of the chickens, and the weather
conditions. Aim to keep the chick
ems comfortable. As the operator
learns by the actions Of the chickens
the amount Of heat they require, he
can discard the thermometer il he
desires. When too cold they will
crowd together and try to get nearer
the heat. II it is found in the morn
ing that the droppings are we'll scat
tered under the hover it is an indica-
ton that the chickens have had
enough heat. If the chickens are
comfortable at night they will be

No. 3 49, FIRELESS BROODERS
AND TEMPERATURES FOR
BROODING.

Cold or freless breeders are sue
cessfully used in a small way by
many people, and can be either pur-
chased or built, according to the
United States Department of Agri-
cultures specialist. AS their con-
5truction is very simple, many peo-
pie prefer 10 build rather than to
buy them. The body heat of the
chickens is the source of warmth in
this system, which requires that sew
eral chickens be placed in a small
receptacle to generate and retain the
heat. Small freless hovers with ad
Unstable quilts or covers are used in
both indoor and outdoor breeders
and in colony houses. A box IS
inches square and inches deep is
recommended by the United States
Department of Agriculture as good
hover Of this type.
The number and position Of the
quilts used over the chickens in this
box are regulated according to the
weather and the number Of the
chickens in the brooder In very cold
weather the quilts should sag so as
to rest on the backs Of the newly
hatched chickens and there should be
little or no empty space in the hover,
while in warmer weather or with
older chickens the quilts or covers
are raised or part Of them removed.
From IL to 40 chicks are usually
placed in a freless brooder, 25 being
the average number while small lots

Points of the Draft Horse.

The draft type is characterized
by massiveness, and the particular
field for this type is the hauling of
heavy loads at comparatively slow
gait, usually at the walk. Therefore
power and not speed is desired, and
in order to possess this power the
horse should be generally blocky or
compact, low-set or short-legged,
and be sufficiently heavy to enable
him to throw the necessary weight
into the collar to move the heavy
load and at the same time maintain
a secure footing. In fair condition
d drafter should weigh not less than
1000 pounds, and the majority will
be between 16 and II hands in
height, but, of course, many are
found below and above these heights.
In some localities horses weighing
less than 1000 pounds are termed
drafters, but in localities where the
heavy draft horse is common they
would not be cIassed as such, unless
designated as light drafters.
In the typical drafter the head is
comparatively lean, wide between
the eyes, and in size proportional to
the body. The eye is bright and
fairly prominent. The neck is strong
and muscular, of fair length, and
somewhat arched; in the stallion it
is we'll arched or crested, in the
gelding or mare less so. The
shoulders are shorter and more up
right than in the case of the light
horse, and a happy medium between
the straight and sloping shoulder
gives the best combination of power
and movement. Too straight a
shoulder causes excessive conclusion,
and the result is bone and tendon
trouble in the feet and legs. On the
other hand, too sloping a shoulder
renders it difficult to fit the heavy
collars properly. In the draft horse,
however, the former is much more
common than the latter.
The chest is deep and compare
lively broad, thus providing plenty
of room for the lungs. The girth,
