In selecting the herd bull there are
two courses open to tbe breeder. The
one is to select a young bull, and the
other is to select an old bnll that has
been tried and proved to be a prepo
tent animal. The advantage in select
ing a young bull for tbe herd is that
It Is cheaper and less risk is attended
toward getting a mean and ugly bull
as well as bringing any disease into
tbe herd. In selecting a young bull
one.runs greater risk in getting one
tbat will transmit the characteristics
desired than in selecting an old bull
that has beeu tried. Tbe performance
and records in tbe ancestry are about
tbe only guide tbat can be used in this*
selection. Wben one selects an old
bull that has been tried he has some
certainty tbat this animal will raise
the production of bis herd. When this
can be done it is probably the best
method to use, but where one knows
tbe value of a bull the price asked for
him Is oftentimes prohibitive.
Blood Tells In the Dairy.
The dairy calf has an inherent claim
to be well born. It is her birthright.
It should have bad the privilege of de
scending from parents with a good or
excellent record for dairy production.
Its ancestors should have been bred
along a definite line for a definite end.
Its sire should be a good, pure bred
dairy bull, selected because of bts abil
ity or expected ability to stamp bis
qualities upon his offspring.. If he is
mature bull so much the better. No
Jfarmer or breeder can afford to own a
poor sire. The daqgtsbould be as well
bred as possible^ Commensurate with
tbe owner's, capital and 'experience.
Under all circumstances the dam
should be well nourished. man that
will partially starve^ pregnant cow is
devoid of good cow sense. Starvation
may result not only from giving Insuf

FEEDING THE FARM H0RSL
Faulty Methods Responsible For Many
Diseases.
Probably tbe most important part
In tbe care of tbe horse is the feeding.
A large majority of tbe diseases among
form horses result from faulty feeding,
says C. L. Barnes of the Colorado ex
periment station. Many make tbe mis
take of not securing the best feed.
Their trouble begins wben partially
matured, musty, dusty feed is used.
Several points should be taken into
consideration when the amount of feed
is decided upon, whether the animal Is
accustomed to dry feed and if in good
flesh or in thin, emaciated condition.
A horse should not be fed a large
quantity of hay and grain without ex
ercise. Many think tbat because a
horse is tliin in fiesh no work should
be required of him. it is always best
to work the flesh into the animal
rather than to fatten him as a steer.
A good plan Is to have a stated pro
gram as to time and amount of feed to
be given. Horses by all means should
be fed regularly. Hay requires time
for mastication and digestion. For
this reason tbe large percentage of
hay should be fed at night Horses
soon learn the manner of giving food
and water, so it is best to have one
feeder and have this plan followed
out for all the horses. Tbe bone
should receive some water tbe first
thing in tbe morning. After watering
feed a small amount of hay and then
give grain after tbe bay has been
eaten. By this plan tbe feed, which is

draft horse that haa no superior.
Some three or four years ago one
of the greatest honors ever won by
a grade gelding was won in the
auction ring at Chicago. This horse
was the roan Shire gelding that
sold for the handsome sum of $660.
This price still stands as a record
at the greatest horse market in the
world. Shire breeders and import
ers have paid very little attention
to shorting geldings. They have
been satisfied with the splendid
showing they have made in the
markets of America. If a man lets
the horse buyer know that he has
some grade Shires to sell be will
get a price for them that Is seldom
reached by arty other breed. The

the most difficult to digest, is left in
the stomach and therefore receives
proper digestion.
The noon feed should be given after
the horse is cooled and has been allow
ed to rest for IS minutes or half an
hour. A small quantity of water may
be given soon after the borae Is

the same as at noon, only give more

meals. Wben working hard feed large

Oeed 8li*s In Demand.
The raports of the,, various state
stallion boards show-^y. j»ctu»l,iita
tics that from 45 to ffi per rent of the
sires In use are grades: As lt is ad
mittedly true that a considerable num
ber of pure bred sires now in use afp
too inferior to be long continued in
service it seems safe to say that
not to exceed, one-third of the
stallions in service. are pure bred
horses of such conformation, else and
quality as-, to warrant tUrilr continu

The |nan who Is producing really
meritorious horses, however, need have
no fear'of the supply of such horses
exceeding the demand, at least not
within the next forty or fifty years.

CORN SILAGE FOB
BEEF PRODUCTION,
The Indiana experiment station has
done considerable work during recent,
years with tbe feeding of silage to beef
cattle. In one test It was found tbat
the corn brought 5 cents per bushel
mora when fed with silage and clover
bay than wben no silage was used.
In a later test it was found that silage
fed steers gained during a six months'
period an average of thirty-nine
pounds more per head than cattle of
the same quality which were given no
silage In the ration. It was also figured
that the cost of gains was $1 per hun
dredweight less with silage than with
out
In a third test made at the Indiana
station, where tour lots of steers each
Pure bred Herefords are second in
numbers only to the Shorthorns,
but they exist in the range country
of the west in the greatest numbers
and are comparatively scarce east
ward. In weight Herefords almost
equal Shorthorns. However, they
are shorter of leg and have great
width. Broad, blocky and deep,
well rounded, v.ith great chest ca
pacity and l.aving a vigorous con
stitution, Herefords are deservedly
popular with western beef produc
ers. On the other hand, their early
maturity, uniformity of type and
beefmaklng ability make Herefords
popular with cattle feeders in the
corn belt and east c::-d.
were fed six months, it was found
that the largest profits were nude ou
a daily ration per steer consisting of
corn, 15.8 pounds cottonseed meal. 3
pounds, and silage, 29.5 pounds. On
this ration the cost of producing 100
pounds of gain was $7.41 as compared
with $8.98 for a similar lot of steers
fed a daily ration consisting of corn,
17.4 pounds, cottonseed meal, 3 pounds,
and clover bay, 9.5 pounds. While
larger gains were made by making
silage tbe only roughage fed. still the
Indiana experimenters are of tbe opin
ion tbat it is best to feed some hay
witb silage. In one test at the Ohio
experiment station it was shown that
the feeding of silage reduced tbe cost
of producing gains $1.17 per hundred
weight. making the profits $5.97 per
steer with silage and $3.99 per steer
without silage.
While but comparatively few tests
have been made throughout tbe coun
try in which silage has been used for
beef cattle, tbe results to date are fa
vorable both as to daily gains, cost of
gains and profitq, There has been a
prevailing notion tbat cattle which
have been fattened by tbe use of si
lage would dress a lower percentage
and tbat tbe beef would be more
watery and less Valuable on that ac
count. But this does not seem to be
true. Other things being equal, cattle
which show tbe highest -condition of
flesh drees a higher percentage, and if
the gains can be increased by the use
of silage it Is reasonable to expect a
higher dressing.—Breeder's Gazette.
Weight of the Draft Horse, t4?'
With draft horses It |s not a question
of height but of weight. Animal hus
bandmen at tbe Illinois station say
tbat the nearer the ground the draft
horse Is the better both for service and
endurance.
To be classed with draft horses an
animal must weigh not less than 1,500
pounds and be good in flesh. He is all
the more valuable If he weighs 1,800
to 2,000. He cannot be too be&vy if
his bone corresponds with his weight.
He should be blocky. made with heavy
bone, though smooth short In tho
back, close coupled, with heavy loin
rounded hips, Widei, strong hock, Hat
bone moiSiBftetely short pasterns,. mar
dium straight shoulders., heavy In
front with full breast, with legs well
apart, thoiigh hot extremely wide.
The animal should cariy a good'cov
ering, of flesh, be smooth finished all
over and manifest a gentle disposition.
Accordingly- be should show a mild,
bright eye. erect ear and a smooth,
easy actlon ^at the trojt Because It 1s
Easier td'fcecuw welgtat in fat than
boM care' should be taken to insur?
heavy bone In extreme weights, but
this should not be done at the expense
of fair finish.

The pig tbat has been supplied with
an abundance of pasture and a small
grain ration during the summer
should weigh from 150 to. 175 pounds
by the latter part of September. A
short period of heavy feeding will
finish them for market at 200 tp 275
pounds In weight Pork grown In
this way will yield for more profit
than Where the process Is strung'out
longer and the hogs are finished to
heavier weights. The cheapest gains
are always made while tbe pig Is
young. It is poor policy to starve and
stunt a pig during the first, few
I months, expecting to make ltvup by
heavy feeding later. Tbe 100 pound
pig makes gains 20 per cent cheaper
jthsn the 200 pound pig If eqnall]
thrifty.—Live Stock Bepovter.
