A Profitable Investment

Making a good home garden is one
of the vitality important means of cut
ting living expenses on the farm and
thus increasing the amount of profits.
1t has been shown that more than 80
per cent Of the food consumed by the
farm family can be grown in a garden
of reasonable siza.

More Draft Mares Needed

The cross of the high-class Perche-
ron horse upon Southern mares is go
ing to produce mule mare of unusu-
al merit-very much better than the
average grade Percheron mare Of the
North. We have a better foundation
for this cross, and our problem is in
the selection of highly-bred stations
of medium weight, but of outstanding
quality. To accomplish this, more
breeding establishments for pure
bred horses in the South should be
organized. The agricultural colleges
of the Southern States have made
start and are doing what they can to
establish system by which the re-
suits desired will be more quickly at
tanned.
Care should be exercised in the Sc
lection Of breeding animals. Extreme
weight is not essential, but quality,
soundness, action, and that type Of
conformation that warrant endurance
must not be sacrificed. There is a
type Of draft horse that Is better
suited to Southern conditions than
others. The chunk and the indis-
criminate overweight are not the
types we want.
The draft filly, properly cared for,
may be worked and bred at two years
old. This is also true of the pros
pective properly developed cross.bred
flly. Upon the Experiment Station
we have been able to produce mules
weighing from 1850 to LOO pounds
at two years old. The past season
we worked a pair of two-year-olds
out of the grade Percheron mares
during the entire summer season.
They were not given the heavy tasks
of mature mules, but were kept busy
every day. Under good management
these mules developed nicely and
much more than paid for their feed
and care.
The place of the properly bred and
selected draft horse in the production
Of mule mares is acknowledged, and
the farmer who stilk fuses to accept
the benefits of good draft sire in
his community is wilfully postponing
opportunity and profits rightfully his.

When viii the War C!ese?

The question asked by every
man. either to himself or any one
; else, is: When will the war
endW
To those most nearly in touch
with the war zones, it is predict
ed it will close with this year S
campaign. They reason that
Prussia is on the verge of eco
nomic as well as financial luin.
They are not in position to get
financial aid from abroad, and
must rely on their own resources.
There is a limit to all transac-
tions, where the expenditures are
largely in excess of sources Of
supplies.
They are forced to make de-
mands on every institution and
person of means. to stem over or
short loans the necessity of the
hour. Their food supplies are
coming to a condition which is
bringing the poor to starvation,
The central powers, in inaug-
urating their submarine warfare,
said they must starye England
or starve themselves. StarvG ton
alone has ended most wars in The
past, and in no instance before
has it been SO potent as now, o.,
has been more strenuously relied
on from the first by the allies.
England and France see that
unless they husband their re,
sources they will in time be OF

warfare cannot stop one half the
imports of foodstuffs. 1t really
is not preventing ten per cent OF
the needs of the allies from neu

The land fighting this summer
is expected to be most fearfU
and probably decisive, but it vii
not end by the allies naming
terms Of peace. 1t is hardly pos
sible for the powers to defeat the
German military giant on thu
field Of battle. 1t is possible
and we think, probable, for then
to break the Western lines anC
even reach the Rhine. That, to
gether with the handicap of pro
vision shortage, will bring ths
great masses of people to demand
of the rulers a cessation, which
they will observe. Germany vii
never be crushed to the extent o
absorption, and really the allie
will be content when she is 81
far destroyed that her miiitar,
power will be eliminated. Thi
is not fight for territorial ex
tension by either side, but a wa
for military supremacy and it
resultant commercial advantage
when the war is ended, Hence
taking a view from every angle
one must be convinced that tn
conflict cannot last through tn
winter of 19l7-18.
We will not be drawn into tn
war to the extent of sending al
army to fight the lion in his den
but actual sea fighting is on an,
