The first importation of Percheron
stock into this country was in New
Jersey in 1889. This importation, con-
sisting of one stallion and two mares.
was not attended with good success,
for the stallion died at sea, and one
mare was hurt from car shipment,
while the other landed in poor health.
Mr.. Edwin Harris, the importer, how
ever. returned Immediately to France
and imported the two stations, Dill
igence and Bonaparte, and several
mares. Diligence in particular proved
to be fine specimen of the breed.
Following this. importations were
made in 1851 and 1864 in Ohio and
Massachusetts,, respectively.
1t is now an accepted fact that the
Percheron Is the most popular of draft
breeds in America. This is because
he has good and docile disposition.
The ability to do all kinds of work on
the farm and road with rapidity Of
walk, absence of long hair on the legs,
sound, open feet, comparative ease
with which he is mated because of uni
formity of color, are factors of his pop
ularity. Take the British breeds Of
draft horses. If the British drafters

MIR. Hammond Hard to Please.

Mr.. John Hays Hammond told a
Detroit audience that nothing but
"egregious blunders' could prevent
the Republicans from winning the
presidency next year. On the sub
ject of Republican blunders, Mr.. Ham
mond speaks as one with authority.
He has figured in some of the most
egregious of them. And it is dis
tinctly left-handed compliment which
he pays to the sagacity of his party
leaders when he predicts that they will
not blunder in 1916 because there will
be small occasion" for them to do SO.
The inference is that IL they possibly
could make mistake they would. AS
for the Democrats, whatever they do
is a blunder. They propose special
taxes to meet the cost Of national de-
Tense. That is a blunder. They
should have issued bonds. But that
would have been only smaller blum
der. Direct taxes the people do not
favor. Bond issues they merely look
upon "unfavorably.' It is hard pleas
ing Mr.. Hammond.

START A SMALL DAIRY HERD
Numerous Failures to Realize Profits
Attributed to Mismanagement and
Wrong Beginning.

By C. A. BURNS, Department OF Dairy
Husbandry. Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege.)
1t is quite well known fact that
q great many Oklahoma dairy farm
ers are not realizing the profit they
should
such profits may be attributed to mis-
management, but as general rule
those who know enough to begin the
right way" in the dairy business are
rather apt at staying In the right
way" II we should ask the success
full men to explain the more neces-
sary precautions in starting a dairy
herd, I imagine they would give us
a story somewhat similar to this: In
case you are not we'll acquainted with
the business, do not put too much
money into fine, pedigreed stock at
first. Better get your experience on
cheaper stock and add to your herd
better cattle as you become more ex-
perienced. Do not select your cows
for your foundation stock by guess
work. An experienced eye can de-
termine quite little about the abil-
ity of cow by the external appear
ance, but in most cases record OF
the animals ability as q producer is
much safer.
Even though grade herd is to be
maintained at first, it is to be under
stood that a pedigreed bull should
be used from the beginning. Make
sure that the bull is up to standard.
The cows in the grade herd should.
OF course, be all of one breed, and
the bull of the same breed"
1t must be remembered that more
rigid and careful selection and brand
ing will be required to raise and main
tain a high standard Of production In
a grade herd than would be required
in fine herd of pedigreed animals.
As q last word. be sure never to neg
lect to use the Babcock milk tester
and milk scales to determine the pro-
ductive ability of every COW in the
herd. It saves time, It saves trou-
BILE, it saves feed, and 1t saves money.

were removed in any large district the
loss would hardly be noticeable, since
the Percheron Is SO plentiful. A Texas
horseman says that without reserve
he can recommend the Percheron as
the best for the purpose OF crossing
with small range mares to get salable
horses. From small range mares by
Percheron sires fine-boned animals
have resulted. To marvellous degree
the Percheron has transmitted size,
conformation, tractability and color
through range mares.
With the circus man the gray color
wins special favor. In the first place
dappled gray is the most impressive
Of any color. Then, as a rule, the
grays are the best feeders. They are
also declared to be more serviceable
than horses of other colOrs, especially
in keeping sound and enduring the
summer heat and vicissitudes Of travel
without sickness.
In the matter of price some buyers
are willing to give as high as $40 per
100 pounds extra for gray geldings, in
preference to geldings Of other colors.
This fact Is a cogent reason why breed.
ers should strive to raise grays.

FENCES FOR SHEEP PASTURE
Advisable to IncIose Portion Of Farm
In Such Manner as to Keep An
finals In Place.

The large majority Of our farms arc
not suitably fenced to enable the
farmers to pasture sheep, but, when
considered from business standpoint,
we cannot doubt the advisability OF in
closing portion or all Of the farm
ii such q manner that they can be
kept where they belong.
The most satisfactory fence Is made
BY using q 24-foot strip OF woven wire
for the bottom with two strands Of
barb wire above. This will serve the
purpose for both sheep and cattle. II
barb wire alone be used the lower
wires should be stretched tightly and
placed close together.

Real Revival of Business.

Persons who are trying to belittle
the wonderful revival of business make
the point that the increase of exports
is almost entirely in supplies for the
belligerent governments. This is
true, but the whole export business Is
small in comparison with the domestic
business. The purchases by belliger-
ent governments bulk largely in the
export of statistics, but in the total
production and transportation Of the
country they are very secondary.
