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 a 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 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 $50 per
100 pounds extra for gray geldings, in
preference to geldings Of other colors.
This fact Is cogent reason why breed.
ers should strive to raise grays.

value Of corn. A yield Of corn Of u
bushels per acre, which is a large and
satisfactory yield az bushels Of corn
is two tons of grain, will, at 40 cents
per bushel, bring $3.50.
The same soil and season which will
produce two tons of corn per acre,
will produce five or six tons of alfalfa,
which at SIS per ton will return not
less than SIS per acre, and that, too,
with much less labor.
In an experiment in Illinois equal
areas were in corn and alfalfa. The
proceeds from the alfalfa crop we're
over three times those from the corn.
Comparing the amount Of plant food
removed by the alfalfa and the corn,
we find a ton OF alfalfa removes SO
pounds of nitrogen, four pounds phos-
phorus. and "a pounds potassium,
worth at market price, exclusive OF
the nitrogen. s1.92. THE nitrogen is
not taken into account because tbs
alfalfa can get Its supply directly from
the air, through the bacteria on its
roots.)
A ton OF corn, equal to 35 81 BUSH
els, contains 35 81 pounds of nitro
gen, 6k pounds of phosphorus and
lila pounds of potassium, worth at
the market value s637. The nitro
gen In the corn must be considered,
since this plant does not, and cannot,
secure a supply of this element except
through the soil. A crop of corn,
therefore, depletes the soil Of this ele-
ment. o..
For a 72-bushel crop of corn the
value of the plant food removed will
be s12.74, and for a five-ton crop Of
alfalfa, the value of the elements TAX

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

CBy c. A. BURNS, Department Of Dairy
Husbandry. Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege.l
It is quite we'll known fact that
a great many Oklahoma dairy farm
ers are not realizing the profit they
should.
The numerous failures to realize
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 dairy
herd, l 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-
fly of a COW by the external appear
ance, but in most cases record of
the animals ability as producer is
much safer.
Even though a grade herd is to be
maintained at first, II 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 win be required to raise and main
tain high standard OF production In
a grade herd than would be required
in a 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. 1t saves time. II saves trou-
BILE, II saves feed. and It saves money.

(By F. L BEALLo

The thrushes are pronounced
ground feeders, and may often be seen
picking small fruit that has fallen to

their food (4O.72 per cent? is largely
composed of fruit, which constitutes
over 81 per cent Of the total food. OF
this SO.SS per cent is made up of wild
berries, which outweigh the domestic
varieties with every species, In all,

FENCES FOR SHEEP PASTURE
Advisable TO inelose Portion Of Farm
In Such Manner as to Keep An
Innais In Place.

The large majority Of our farms are
not suitably fenced to enable the
farmers to pasture sheep. but when
considered from a business standpoint,
we cannot doubt the advisability of In
closing a portion or all of the farm
in such a manner that they can be
kept where they belong.
The most satisfactory fence is made
by using 24-foot strip of woven wire
for the bottom with two strands OF
barb wire above This win 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.

Money being at s per cent what is
the land worth that yields a revenue
OF from SIS to $3.50 per acre? II
the yield Of corn in the corn belt fixes
the price OF land, as is generally con-
coded, then a resdiustmsnt and high

when fixed on gu alfalfa basis.
