About the professional horse breed
er I shall have little to say. He is
abundantly able to take care OF him
self and, II he is as foresighted as he
should be he will profit by the i'm
pending conditions which will soon
make horse breeding one of the most
profitable phases of animal husbandry
In this country. ~
Henry Ford and the European war
conditions have completely changed
the aspect of the horse business In
this countryside first by putting the
poor horse out of business and the
second by practically cleaning the
country OF the lighter and less useful
farm horses and both in causing con-
ditions which make for the advantage
Of the drafter.
More than any other country the
United States is user OF agricultural
machinery and, as our machines have
become heavier and more complicated
we have suffered from lack of farm
power. Motors will not supply this
lack a. they are yet too expensive
both in cost and operation and they
do not supply the mobility of power af-
forded by the horse and needed by
the farmer.
The reason for this lack OF power
is not far to seek 1t has been the
long continued and almost universal
practice for farmers to breed their
mares to the nearest stallion regard
less Of breed or type but, all the time,
very regardful of the size Of the serv.
Ice fee Too often the farmer will
breed his mares to a Percheron one
year. a Clyde or Shire the next and
then to a standard bred, Morgan or
a grade the next with the result that
he has all kinds and types of horses
on his farm at the same time
The raising of pure bred draft
horses on the farm should now offer
greater opportunities than ever be
fore. I mention the drafter particular
ly because he is the only kind for the
farmer and his market for his surplus
animals.
Never breed a mare to stallion
that is not of her own breed and
never, under any circumstances, use
stallion that is not better than the
mare Good draft horses are just al
essential as good seed or good ma
chinery and the foals from pure bred
parents are worth at least double an,
other kind. And then feed. DRAFT
horses cannot be made without feed
Push the colt from three weeks tc
three years, give him plenty of oper
air and exercise, and he will pay you
as well as anything on the farm.-L d
Hraham, in Rural Spirit.

Coast VIII Make Steel.

San Francisco-The importation of
pig iron from China and the use of
California oil for fuel have made pos
sible the manufacture on the Pacific
Coast of structural steel on a large
scale. according to announcement made
by the Pacific Coast Steel company,
which backed its judgment by letting
a $780, 900 enlargement of its plant
here. Officials of the company said
that four years experimenting with
pig iron from China had satisfied them
that former handicsps to expansion of
the industry no longer existed.

eventualities that may come as a result
of the European war. He declared that
he saw no immediate danger of the
war and hoped that peace might pre-
vail, but that the danger of the United
States being drawn into the present
conflict or one that might result from
it was too great to be disregarded.
81 have much more fear in the end
of war with England than have of
war with Germany" he said That
was his only comment on this phase of
his subject. Later he declined to
elaborate on his remark.
Mr.. Mann urged no particular pre-
paredness plan He said he favored q
standing army of $50, 900 or 800, 900
or even 500, 900 men, better coast de-
fenses and "a navy which will be able
to defend US on the sea.
81 think we ought to provide these
great forces" he said in pleading for
q non-partisan view of the question,
and that it ought to be considered an
emergency matter, entirely apart from
the ordinary routine or expense of gov
eminent, without regard to partisan
ship or party lines
Touching on the cost, Mr.. Mann said
it would be millions now, but better
that than billions later.
The subject Of preparedness was in
jected into the senate debate on the
Philippine independence bill, and Sen
ator Stone said he believed the United
States would be safer from attack
from abroad at the close of the Euro
pean war than it bad been at any time
in the past so years.
