significant of the attitude of husltie. s
farmers* that the larger orders foi hor|-
es to go to the country have called for •
big animals. Where extensive wor\ i-.
done heavy machinery is used and_ i few-
big horses make a more satisfactory mo-
tive power than a larger number of
smaller ones. Any horse can hold up hi.<
side of .the neck yoke and tighten the
traces, but where real work is expected
a horse of some substance is necessarv.
Pnmista*.i'bly the trade in farm hors. -
is gradually calling for more size. Men
who are still breeding cheap little horses
that have no outlet except as w'orkr s ,
may wisely take a warning from the.-'
conditions. \ warning demand does n-it
boost prices.
THE MUTTON INDUSTRY
The mutton lamb industry has in recenl
years developed a feature in meat sua
ply that seems to have to limit In price
or demand. The cofisumcr wanls lama

This industry now offers 'treat opportun-
ity for the farmer sheep raiser, who can
keep' a small ewe flock and produce ..
few lambs for the market that will fit
in any time from the early winter to tie
early summer. That fat. light weigh*
lamb is the demand, and this 1- ind i i
meat is now so fix^d ill the taste of tie-
mutton eater that price is 110 barri. .

That necessitates March pigs, or pigs
not later than March, and involves a
little more care in the treatment of the
sow.
The brood sow that is expected to
farrow should not be made fat. She
should he kept in a healthy, thrifty
condition, in good flesh, hut not fat.
Corn is .1 fattening feed, and corn
alone is not good feed for the brood
sow. -Chops and wheat bran in equal
parts is better in fact, is an excellent
feed. Shorts and bran with some corn
is also good. Clover hay cut fine Is
good to feed with corn. II dampened

T il S. feeds are ne. essnrv to supply
the special requirements of the sow
during such a period, and corn alone
does out supply them. The corn fed
sow ma\ do fairly Well and satisfy
the less discriminating farmer, but
the one fed as we have suggested will
do much hetler.
