FRIEND ADDRESS r Contest Managers Wingham Advance, Wingham, Ont, SELECTING .A SIRE OF DRAFT NQRSES. The sire of heavy draft horses should weigh from 1,800 to 2,200 pounds and to justify so great a weight should, to appear well proportioned, stand at least sixteen pad one-half bands (sixty-six inches) In height un- less of unusually solid build end of tbe long and low type. Every one knows what a lot of infer- ;nation seine horses Eau convoy by merely wagging their ears, writes John P. Ross in Farm and Fireside. The possession of the algve named at- tributes almost surely implies a good appetite and sound digestive powers, and when there tu'e added to all these the freedom, boldness and truth of ac- tion In moving which are found only where due proportion of parts is• cola - It Is charged against American farmers that in the production of pure bred draft horses they have neglected to feed the colt properly, thus failing to get the best results in size, Substance and size are es* sential In drafters, and these can- not be obtained by stinting the feed of the colt during tbe first year of its life. It follows, therefore, that colts must be fed liberally and not allowed to gain their sustenance in the stalk fields. The demand is for big horses, and stinted animals, even if pure -bred, will not fill the bill. The Pereheron stallion shown is a pure bred and weighed about a ton when photographed. ARE YOUR FENCES ALL UP? .4. farmer with a field sof wheat would see that he had a good fence on ► aeb side of it Some men only ptt;t• 013 t,nt{. ti t' 1'r three aides of what is n - valuable than the farmer's herd of wheat. Study diagram below and see that the f-nce is in repair on all four aides. Health Insurance bitted with a lively spirit the seeker after a good horse may congratulate himself on b:n•irag found one. The loins and back should he broad, the chest .deep, the ribs close and deep, the hind quarters and limbs especially powerful and well muscled. The legs should be of good length down to the hocks and knees and short below those joints. The shoulders need not be quite as siopiug as is desirable in the lighter breeds, but It is a bad fault for there to err in the othei'"dtrection and be too straight. There should be plen- ty of width between the fore legs and room for the heart to work in. No part of the horse's anatomy Is more important than the feet. This is espet•la1Iy so with the draft horse be- cause his great weight and the strains incident to heavy hauling open tip the way to many chances of injury to them. The structure of the feet com- prises seine very delicate bones and nerves, and the outer covering which protects these should be strong, fairly sloping, free from sheliiness and rough corrugations. There exists n strong prejudice against Tight colored hoofs which experience has shown to be wen grounded. The foot should be large in proportion to the size and weight of the animal. - In horses intended for fust work the long. springy and sloping pastern is desirable, as conducive to light and speedy action, but for the heavy draft breeds • a medium in these respects must be looked for as insuring greater strength. The hocks, heaving much to endure in the distribution of the immense strength of the hind quarters, must be examined with much care. They are the Seat of Many of the Most common and hartuful diseased conditions, such as actual or threatened spavins, thor- oughpins and curbs, which are general. Iy inherited. These, together n:ith strains and en- largetnents of hack sinews and of ten• dons, are among the diseased condi tions quite possible of detection by keen observatiou and by handling. Their preseuc•e should at once preclude any hien of using au animal affected with any of them for breeding pur- poses. Soundness of wind end of eye- sight are, of course, indispensable. Treatment For Bog Spavin. Bog spavin is a distension of the cap- sular ligament of the hock joint. The cause in some instnnces is infection of the navel at birth, in others it is due to strain or sprain, and in some it seerns to come from idleness and over- feeding. The sitnplest and best treat, nreut Is to cont the hock joint with pine tar and repent the application In a few months if it has worn off.: Make the althea' live all outdoor life as much as possible. Dearth of Dairy Cow', Dairy cows are sari scarce and high. Those who are anxious to go into the dairy business or keep more cows ori the farm for the home milk supply have difficulty hi finding desirable ani• nails for sate, In fact, those wlta have good milk producers aro reluctant to sell for the simple reason that the cows are profitable. The best way to get good cows Is to raise theta. Hiccuping Pigs, Ificcilping in pigs 15 caused by it det;atigement of the stonlacti.
