While some farmer are beginning
to appreciate the importance of uaing
Bound pure-bred atailiona the equal
Importance of uaing aound mare la
not yet generally understood When a
mare by reaaon of unaoundnea la no
longer fit for anything else' ahe la
often aet aside for breeding purposes
and so long as this absurd and ruin-
ous policy persists the penalty will be
paid In the prevalence of unsound
horses on our farms For corrobora-
tion of this one has only to examine
the brood mare on a number of
farms The unsound mares will be
found numerous and many of their
adult offspring are similarly affected
The following letters from farmers
will help to demonstrate the lack of
comprehension of the principles of
horse breedlrg
“I have a thtrteen-year-oid mare that
has a knocked down hip the heaves
Pure-Bred Stallions Doing Farm
Work Every Stallion Should Be Capa-
ble of Doing the Work That Will Be
Required of His Offspring
and she Is lame Would It be all right
to breed from her?"
“I have three mares the oldest ten
and the youngest four which have
been breeding since spring The one
ten years old has the heaves la moon
blind In one eye and has a discharge
from the nose Her hind legs stalk up
if she stands In the stable over night
she Is wormy very bad at times Have
hid her two years but have never
done anything for her She had a colt
which died with blind starters at ten
days of age In hot weather It bothers
her to breathe Would you breed ber
again it you were In my placer
"Can you tell me wbat alls this
mareT Bay Ally three years old un-
broken and always well kept Became
stiff in hind legs last winter and after
awhile got the same way In front legs
and at present Is so atlff she can't lie

FEED FOR WORK
TEAM IN SUMMER
Bad Management to Stuff Horses
During Idle Season and
' ' Starve Them Later
i
One of the worst mistakes a farmer
can make Is to feed heavily during
the winter season when work is
slack and to ferd slightly i summer
when work continues aU day and
every day Only last week saA a
writer in an exchange 1 saw a team
owned by a young but at the same
time rather opinionated farmer This
team was fed during the winter sea-
eon all the grain and forage they
would consume
As the season advanced the price
of grain and hay became higher
Money might have been a little tight
perhaps at any rat feed waa told
that should have been kept The
working season arrived Crops must
be put In and cultivated feed was
short and the teams suffered
When I saw them they were living
skeletons and depreciated 75 per
cent so far as cash value waa con-
cerned This seems to me to be
mighty poor management stuffing your
work horses In the idle season and
starving them at the very time that
they need the best care
Just think a mdtnent dear farmer
of tbs plentiful food that the worn-co-folk
prepare for you three times
dally and most especially during tha
harvest season and then Imagine
how the hone must feel that pulls a
plow binder mower or wagon all
day and on Insufficient feed!
There Is no economy or even busi-
ness sense in feeding sparingly dur-
ing the long hot and busy summer
season A pair of atrong fell-fed and
well-kept horses or mules will do the
work of any four head of halt-starved
ones you can pick up
Rye for the Bile
Rye may be cut for the alio when It
la la blossom and the most advanced
heads are la the dough
Percheron
and behind when the walks Her
kneks are bowed backward Eats
well Would she do to breed from?"
Emphatically NO!
The following suggestions may- be
outlined for the guidance of farmers
in conducting thler horse breeding
operations
Commence grading up the farm
borse stock by mating carefully se-
lected muscular pure-bred registered
stallions Continue year after year to
use the best obtainable pure-bred
males of the chsracter and breed first
chosen and never out-cross to any
other breed
Do not use any stallion that la un-
sound unsuitable partially Impotent
unlicensed or not registered In a stud
book recognized by th department of
agriculture Washington D C 1
Do not breed from any mare that la
deformed sick dlsesed unsound un-
suitable a poor milker or a cross
mother
Properly feed shelter and care for
the pregnant and nursing mares and
from birth until- ready for market
nourish their offspring in such a way
as to prevent stunting and Insure per-
fect development
Encourage the working of pure-
bred stallions sufficient to keep them
healthy muscular prepotent and pre-
vent pampering weakness partial Im-
potence and actual sterility and so
tend to Insure vigor strong constitu-
tion and health In their offspring at
birth and throughout life
As soon as possible stop working
scrub horses on the farm and In their
place use grade horses of good quality
and character well fed properly
groomed furnished with attractive
nicely kept harness and hitched to
modern Implements wagons and car-
riages -
Organize township and county asso-
ciations for community breeding of
horses of the same blood character
and quality and to more readily ob-
tain pure-bred stallions and mares
and insure a profitable market for
surplus horses
Encourage representative exhibits
at the county fairs of pure-bred stal-
lions and mares and grade mares
gelding farm teams and young stock
by pure bred sires Discourage the
offering of classes and premiums for
grades and mongrel or scrub stallions
or thler progeny
Boost for the betterment of the
horse breeding industry and do noth-
ing to retard Its progress
COST OF RAISING
AMERICAN HORSE
t V ’
Average Is Found to Be $10406
for United States— Inter
esting Figures
Reports have been received from
about 10000 correspondents of the
bureau of statistics of the depart-
ment of agriculture upon the cost of
raising colts to the age of three
year The average tor the United
States Is found to be (10400 or If
we deduct the value of work done by
the horse before he has passed hla
third year namely $762 the net cost
la $0064 j this la 709 per cent of
the selling value of such horses
$13017 '
The coat varies widely by states
from an average of $6960 for New
Mexico $7160 for Wyoming and
$8247 for Texas to $16060 for Rhode
Island $140 00 for Connecticut and
$14180 for Massachusetts
Itemized the cost Is made up as fol-
lows: Service fee $1296 value of
time lost by mare In foaling $1006:
breaking to baiter $222 veterinary
services $204 care and shelter first
year $4 96 second year (536 third
year $636 most of grain fed j-st
year $498 second year $714 third
year $956 bay first year $414 sec-
ond year $0 01 -third year $443 pas-
ture first year $366 second year
$6 41 third year $621 other costa
es01 total $10406
The total coat for aU feed la 5630
being $2169 for grain $1933 for hay
$1418 for pasture and $111 for other
feeds The total cost of car and abet-
ter la $16 69 Of the total cost 64
per cent I charged to feeds 16 per
cent to car and shelter and 30 per
cent to other Items as enumerated
above
As more than half the coat of rais-
ing a three-year horse on the farm
la chargeable to feeds it la readily ob-
served how important It is the Influ-
ence of variation in prices of feed-
stuff upon such cost 1
WORSE THAH ERROR
President Wilson’s Indorsement
of Un-American Measure
Sundry Civil Bill Which Gives Immu-
nity From Criminal 8tatute to Cer-
tain Groups of Citizens Is
Vicious Legislation
President Wilson has signed the
eundry civil bill with the clause which
compelled President T-'t to veto It
and which gives to certain groups of
citizens Immunity from a criminal
statute by forbidding the department
of justice to uae any part of the sum
granted It for enforcing that statute
tn enforcing It agalnat these groups
AU true and thoughtful frlenda of
Woodrow Wilson must deplore hi
sacrifice upon the altar of political ex-
pediency of a principle of American
government to whose upholding Mr
Wilson la peculiarly pledged by party
and personal profession— tha principle
of the equality of all citizens before
the law
It la true that Mr Wilson denies any
sacrifice of principle tays that he
would gladly have vetoed that clause
could he separate it from the rest of
the bill as placing a limitation upon
the action of tho department of jus-
tice “unjustifiable In character and
principle'' and consoles himself with
this reflection:
“I do not understand that the limi-
tation waa Intended as either an
amendment or an Interpretation of tb
anti-trust law but merely as an ex-
pression of the opinion of congress
not intended to touch anything
sxcspt the expenditure of a single
amall fund"
It la to be regretted that- President
Wilson does not better understand the
ways of "log-rolling" by which certain
appropriation bills are got i through
congress If he did be would not apeak
of this Item ma he doea He would
understand that It doea not represent
the “opinion" of congress but la rnere-
I the result of the “log-rolling" activi-
ties of certain members who "needed
In tbelr business'' an exempting "Inter-
pretation” of the anti-trust act
So we have the spectacle 06 a Demo-
cratic congress committing Itself to
and a Democratic president sanction-
ing the driving of a wedge of prece-
dent for the classification of American
citizens and the exemption of some
from penal laws which all others muat
obey
It la a mournful spectacle and espe-
cially mournful with Woodrow Wilson

Main Defect of Currency Bill
There are 7428 national banka la
the country according so tb last re-
port of the controller of tbe currency
and over 7000 of these are country
banks that la banks outside the re-
serve cities These country banks
though they are mostly of small cap-
italization bold more than half the
country's national bank deposits If
they should give up their national
charter If they should refuse to fio
bualneas under the new' law wbat
would become of the Wilaon-Bryen
plan of banking? Even if tbe banjLS
of the cities should retain their na-
tional charters the system would of
necessity break down In fact It could
never be aet up but It is known that
the city banka also are of tha opinion
that their national charter would be
surrendered Tha bill Invites state
banka and trust companies to come
into the system but with all the na-
tional banka going out can anybody
imagine state bank and trust compa-
nies coming in?
Disappointing Administration
1 was a Wilson man but am far from
being satisfied with the results of the
administration The appropriation
bill passed by congress with Its clause
preventing the prosecution of farm-
ers and labor organisations for viola-
tions of the anti-trust law la an out-
rage If that la an Index of the admin-
istration's judgment It ts enough to
mako any man stop and think Two
clasaes of people are permitted to vio-
late tbe law and all other are to be
prosecuted That is nothing less than
rank discrimination and does not In-
sure confidence In the administration
As to tariff reductions and the Incoma
tax 1 have no fault to find I rath-
er believe it will be well to give them
n good trial and find out ' wbat they
are worth The Investigations by con-
gress I regard as largely humbug—

HOW COCA COLA REFRESHES
The remarkable success which has
attended tbe eale of Coca-Cola baa been
explained In many dlfierent ways Some
have attributed It to “good advertis-
ing” other to "efficient management"
others to Ita “delicious flavor” and still
others to the fact that it was the first In
tbe field of “trade-marked” soft drinks
Jn this connection the opinion of n
manufacturing chemist who has analys-
ed Coca-Cola and studied it history for j
many years will prove interesting He
attribute tbe popularity of the drink
In large part to Its quality of refresh-1
log both mind and body without pro-'
during any subsequent depression !
He points out the fact that the chemical I
composition of Coca-Cola Is practically
Identical with that of coffee and tea '
(with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
arid from Coca-Cola He point to the
laboratory experimenta of Dr Holling-
worth of Columbia University and of
Dr H C Wood Jr of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that tbe cat- j
felne-contalning beverages (coffee tea i
Coca-Cola etc) relieve mental and mus-
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
end muscle more responsive to the
ill thus diminishing the resistance !
produced by fatigue These experi-
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the atimulants In that the uae of
the latter la followed by a period of de-
pression which calls for more stimula-
tion thus resulting In the formation of
