THE VALUE OF A STALLION LICENSE LAW
Recognizing: the great losses which
farmers suffer through utilizing in their
horse breeding operations undesirable
types of stallions and mares several
states have undertaken the licensing of
stallions. In some instances the law
was enacted as long as five or six years
ago, and has therefore been in effect
long enough to enable some data to be
gathered relative to its value and ef
ficiency in accomplishing the purpose in
view.
The idea of licensing stallions seems
to have originated from the system ot
veterinary inspection instituted by the
Royal Shire Horse society of England.
The work was early taken up in the
Province of Victoria, Australia, and
valuable data on this subject have been
printed and distributed by its depart
ment of agriculture. Wisconsin was one
of the states to first take up the li
censing of stallions in this country.
Therefore, a number of citations ot
from their experience, and reference to
the principal ideas contained -in their
law will not be inappropriate at this
time. Dr. Alexander, who has charge
of the registration of stallions in that
state, reports in a recent bulletin some
interesting data with reference to the
values of well bred as compared with
low bred horses. He shows, for instance,
that horses by purebred stallions at
four years old and over were each worth
$303. and horses by grade stallions at
the same age, $200.20, a difference in
favor of the horses by the pure bred
stallions of $102.80. This one fact
should be sufficient to convince every
farmer who is interested in the breed
ing of horses of the necessity of us
ing only pure bred sires of a well de
fined type and mares of superior excel
lence.
Our farmers and breeders seem rath
er slow to realize the potential power
which the pure bred sire will confer on
the business or horse breeding. As a
matter of fact, our grade horses at
the present time do not fall uijder any
special classification save that of mon
grels. Many of them are unfitted for
service on the road because of inherent
hereditary defects. Some of them are
over size for this purpose, though too
small to class as draft animals, while
the great majority have not sufficient
weight to enable their use to the best
advantage on the average southern farm
where a new type of Implement of
greater draft than was formerly used
must now be employed. By improving
the grade of our horses, we can add in
the course of three to five years an
average of $50 to $100 to their value.
This has been amply illustrated in the
few states where attention to the li
censing of sires has been directed
through the enactment of a state law.
Probably few farmers realize how
quickly grading up may be accom
plished. Starting with a grade mare of
no special breeding but * possessed of
quality and fgree from hereditary de
fects, the offspring by a pure bred stal
lion will in six generations become
practically a pure blood, though not
entitled to registration. Thus the trans
formation from the grading up process
can be accomplished in # a comparative
ly short time, and though the farmer
may only have a limited number of
mares which he can afford to use as
foundation stock, it will not be long un
til he can* develop as many breeding
animals as his farm will support.
While the greatest care and attention
must be given to the selection of the
dams the stallion is by far the more
important element irtf the grading-up
process. It -becomes of interest and
general importance, therefore, to ascer-*
tain through what means a state like
Wisconsin, for instance, has accomplish-

ed the licensing of stallions. In brief,
the law which first went into effect in
1.106, and has been amended twice since
that date, carries the following pro
vision: “Each owner of a stallion be
fore using or offering it for public serv
ice, for pay or free of charge, at home
or away from home, shall obtain a li
cense certificate from the department
of horse breeding of the State College
of Agriculture, and shall have it re
corded with th e register of deeds of the
county in which the stallion is to be
used. He must then post and keep af
fixed during the entire breeding sea
son, copies of the license certificate of
his stallion or jack in a conspicuous
place both within and on the outside
of every stable or building where the
Jack or stallion is used for public serv
ice/’ The ruling of the attorney gen
eral in Wisconsin is to the effect that
service fees can not be collected where
the stallion or jack is not licensed and
properly advertised in accordance with
the requirements of this law. This
law is comparatively simple and easy
to put into effect and carry out. It
will injure no one who is engaged in
the legitimate business of horse breed
ing. It will largely eliminate the scrub
sire, protect the owners of mares, and
tend to improve the quality of the
horses, as has been shown by the quo
tation cited in the early part of this
article.
In the state of Wisconsin licences of
five kinds are issued. First, to pure
bred animals. These are only grant
ed to stallions or jacks which are reg
istered in the stud books recognized by
the department of agriculture, at Wash
ington, D. C. Second, to cross breds.
This certificate is given to any stallion
which has a pure-bred registered sire
of one breed, and a pure-bred register
ed dam of a different breed. These ani
mals, of course, are not subject to reg
istration in any stud book recognized
by the department of agriculture, at
Washington, and can not be depended
on to transmit the qualities of either
parent with certainty. Third, non-stan
dard bred. This certificate is given
to stallions recorded as non-standard
bred in the American Trotting Regis
ter. Fourth, grades. This certificate
is given to stallions proved to be by
pure-bred sires or out of pure-bred
dames. Fifth mongrels or scrubs. This
certificate is only given to stallions
neither of whose parents are pure-breds.
The certificates issued bear the follow
ing legend:
The University of Wisconsin, College
of Agriculture, Department of Horse
Breeding. Certificate of (class of stal
lion.) Stallion No The breeding

Postoffice County
Foaled in the year Color

Agriculture, and certified that the said
stallion is of breeding.
This certificate is signed by the dean
of the College of Agriculture and the
professor in* charge of the department
of horse breeding, the date of issue be
ing stated at the bottom.
The practicability of a statute of this
character for the average American
commonwealth has been fully demon
strated from the fact that some sixteen
states are licensing stallions. The need
of more and better horses in the south
is everywhere apparent. We cannot
hope to develop this industry on a
basis commensurate witn our needs un
less we are willing to eliminate the
scrub sire. This can only be done where
the state enacts a law somewhat similar
to that described in this paper, and
rigidly inspects and licenses the stal
lions offered for public service. What
objection can there be to a law of this
character? The small fee charged the
owner of the stallion will provide for
the cost of inspection without the state’s
making a special appropriation for this
purpose. The tax will not be burden
some on the owner of the animal nor
upon the farmers who use the stallion.
The owner of a mare has some protec
tion where such a law exists, and at
once the weeding out process begins. It
is marvelous that in spite of the prog
ress we have made in so many directions
we should still be permitting the scrub
sire to be used the ancestry of winch
has been diseased for generations, and
is, therefore, almost certain to trans
mit such disease as roaring or whistling,
heaves, ophthalmia, St. Vitus’ dance,
stringhalt and spavin to succeeding gen
erations. The farmer who uses a scal
lion of this type has everything' to
lose and nothing to gain. It costs no
more to feed and care for a good *ani-
mal than one of the miserable make
shifts which are now so frequently ob
served in use because the owners do
not realize the certainty with which un
desirable qualities will be transmitted
to the offspring. It is the dfaty as well
as the privilege of the state to takb
up a matter of this kind and offer pro
tection to its citizens, and encourage
a line of industry which i s essential to
the proper development of the agricul
ture of every southern commonwealth.

The case of scours abojit which you

to use the milk when it is cold or
sour, to a failure to properly cleanse
the utinsels used for holding the milk
or may be that the other forms of
food given the calf are' causing irri

this troublS by using one part of form

GREATEST CARE SHOULD ALWAYS
BE USED TO CURE PEAVINE HAY
No doubt many farmers—especially if
a rainy spell has come along—are sorely
tried by the length of time required for
curing cowpea hay. Usually in fall
when cool weather intervenes the peas
require a week' laying in the swath
to dry sufficiently before it is safe to
store it in the barn. Then again, just
when the hay is in the proper stage to
rake in windrows, and this is accom
plished, a pour down of rain starts them
to moulding. It is unnecessary to say
that hay of this quality is not desirable
for home feeding, and cannot be sold
at any price. The only use it can be
made to serve is to turn it under for
fertilizer, where it can repay its initial
expense by providing plant food for the
next crop.
The shock method of curing cowpea
hay is not a Hew one, but after trav
eling over an extensive territory it is
astonishing to note that but few
prominent agriculturalists have given
it much consideration; and, if so, have
failed to give publicity to it.
For a number of years we have
followed out the different methods of
curing cowpeas, but only recently have
we become convinced of the superiority
of the shock method over any other so
far advised. hTe first thing that struck
us, and made us sit up and consider, was
the waste ensuing through the old way;
the astonishing amount of leaves lost,
which the agricultural colleges informed
us possessed the same feeding value as
wheat bran. Moreover, by the old
way hay was permitted to become too
ripe; and, while in this state had not
the lusciousness and proper feeding
value of hay cut before ripening and,
cured in shocks.
Too many farmers have laid undue
stress on securing a seed crop as well
as a hay crop from the same field.
However, if the farmer is extremely
insistent about this, the shock method
of curing has little to recommend it;
for the loss of leaves while the pods
are ripening hardly warrants the extra
amount of care. After many trials cow-
peas were sown early as possible after
settled warm weather had arrived,
Whippoorwills, New Eras and the great
est of all pea hay mixtures, the Black
and Red vining sorts with sufficient
sorghum to hold them for the machine.
Just after the first few peas had begun
to ripen, the mower was set to work
until the whole field was cut down.
They were allowed to remain on the
ground until wilted. Then raked up and
put into medium sized shocks. They
were left there for three days, though,
occasionally we examined them to see if
they were heating, and if so, the shock
was merely torn down and rebuilt. The
third day we went over the shocks—
naturally a bright day was chosen—the
shocks were divided into four separate
layers and placedi on the ground, where
they were permitted to lay until the
following day. The^next day they were
constructed as before, loosely. Four
days afterwards this process of airing
was repeated; and the day after the
airing they were hauled to the barn,
right from the piles on the ground.
When stored in the mow, care was ex
ercised so that no tramping was done
on them, that tl^ey might settle natur
ally from their own weight. None of
the leaves were lost, at least only a
ridiculously • small portion, scarcely
worthy of notice.
When winter came we began to feed
the hay, and were delightfully sur
prised to behold the brightest, clean,
tempting green colored hay we had
ever seen. In fact, the stock pre
ferred it to alfalfa or other hay made
on the place, consuming - " even the
coarsest stems with great relish.
On this hay alone a herd of Jersey
cattle acquitted themselves creditably.
One heifer with nothing else but a win
ter pasture of indifferent value, aver
aged fourteen pounds of churned butter
a week.
However, hay of such excellent qual
ity was not the only thing gained by
this early cutting—for when it was
done many of the plants were only yet
in bloom. The field after cutting was
sacredly withheld from pasturing of
any kind of stock. Two rains came,
and we were pleased in three w r eeks,
just ten days before the first killing
frost, to see another crop from the
original vines maturing. A valuable
second growth which made a yield al
most equal to that of the first cutting.
In the field where vining black, Red
Clay and sorghums had been sown to
gether, the second crop produced a
third more hay than the first. The de
capitated sorghum stalks suckered so
extensiye that they were not woody,
and accomplished something, then un
anticipated; choking out the wild fox
tail, which had formerly been an un
welcome pest in this particular field,
The peas grew in proportion to the
cane, and made a remarkable quantity
of vine.
Sorghum with vining peas prior to
the adoption of the shock method of-
curing had not met with much favor
from us; but"'Alas! we were agreeably
surprised to discover that through this
semi-sweating and airing system, t;he
cane cured admirably, without the
usual taint of mold; and helped to bal
ance the feeding value of the nay.
Sowing peas, and harvesting them
earlier than was the custom, has in
advertently solved the problem of in
suring a fall stand of grass, especially
timothy, better than any way we have
so far attempted. So many of us have
mailed to obtain a good stand of grass
in fall owing- to the usual excessively
dry conditions. On this account we
have like a number of others put the
task aside until the freezing periods had
almost arrived. This procedure had not
always been satisfactory, for the hard
bite of winter frequently placed a heavy
toll on the young delicate shoots of
grass. But after we had become ac
quainted with the tendency of early
sown peas to reproduce themselves—al
most spontaneously by a new growth
the same year—we decided on using
this as a nurse crop for grass.
When we had accomplished cutting the
pea crop, the ground was as loose
as any tool of man could make it.
Nevertheless, the ground wasttaoinnnn
once both ways with a disk harrow,
then once with a spring tooth. Grass was
then sown broadcast, and dragged in
with a common log drag. The second
growth of peas came as usual, the grass
also; and, though rain did not visit us
but once during the latter part of Sep
tember and October, the grass made an
excellent stand under its leguminous
nurse crop; and by November 1, after
frost had stricken its guardian, the
blades were of sufficient height to with
stand well a very severe winter. The
next spring the grass made, on account
of the abundance of available nitrogen,
better growth than on an adjoining field
in its second year.
Take Your Own Time
To Pay
added a couple of pounds of cotton seed
meal. These concentrates should be
thoroughly mixed together. Another
good ration would be six to eight pounds
of corn, five to seven pounds of oats
and two pounds of cotton seed meal. It
is important that these constituents be
thoroughly mixed before feeding. Water
your mule before rather than after
feeding and give an abundance of clean,
bright hay or fodder. This is a very
important matter. Do not work too
vigorously, especially in the hot part
of the day. It is often necessary to rest
animals, as you no doubt know, from
time to time. Some green feed and pas
ture at night will be helpful and will
enable your mule to recuperate more
rapidly. We think attention to these
suggestions will enable you to over
come the trouble about which you
write. t

MANAGEMENT OF A PEACH
ORCHARD
H. A. 0., Adrian. Ga., writes: I would
like a plan for the keeping and taking
care of peach trees from the time they
are set out. What kind of land should they
be set in and how should It be prepared’?
I want to start an orchard but want some
help in regard to keeping the San Jose
and blight off. What are the best varieties
to set from early to late?
The best kind of soil for* peach trees
is a gavelly loam, well drained and with
proper exposure. The land should be
well prepared before the trees are plant
ed and the rows properly laid off and the
ground open up to a considerable depth,
and especially is this important in case
there is a hard pan. It will pay to spend
some time in making a good sized hole
to receive your tree. A stick of dyna
mite will aid materially in loosening
up a tight soil at a moderate cost.
After the trees arc set if the land is
low in vegetable matter such leguminous
crops as the cowpea should be used in
the summer and vetch and crimson
clover in the winter. The nitrogen
supply of the soil must be built up,
though of course, t^ie excessive use of
nitrogen is to be avoided with peach
trees. The San Jose scale may be
fought successfully by the concentrated
or boiled lime sulphur solution in No
vember and again in Februrary. Where
the trees are not infested to begin with
one spraying will generally be suffi
cient. This solution should never be
used while the trees are in leaf.

Surely try a “Danderine Hair Cleanse”
if you wish to immediately double the
beauty of your hair. Just moisten a
cloth With Danderine and draw it care
fully through your hair, takjng one
small strand at a time: this will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt or any excessive

Besides beautifying the hair, one ap

particl& of dandruff; invigorates the
scalp, stopping itching and falling hair.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. It goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro

grow long, strong and beautiful.
You can surely have pretty, soft, lus

counter and try it as directed.
of peaches for you to plant for a good
succession are Sneed, Greensboro, Geor
gia Belle, fcarmen, Waddell, Elberta and
Zell. These are standart sorts and have
been pretty thoroughly tested .as to their
value for Georgia conditions. The trees
may be set in the fall or spring. We
prefer fall planting. The trees should
only be set after the leaves have fallen.
If they can be put in the fall and the
ground allowed to compact around the
roots and settle through the heavy rains
which fall in the winter season, an earl
ier and more vigorous growth is likely
to be obtained. Fertilizers for the peach
vary according to the soil and location
and method of management pursued.
Liberal fertilization is advisable for this
crop, though too much nitrogen should
not be used. On light soils from 600 to
1,000 pounds per acre of a formula con
taining about 9 per cent of phosphoric
acid, 3.5 to 5 per cent of nitrogen and
6 to 8 per cent of potash should be used.
On extremely sandy soils liberal appli
cations of potash are considered essen
tial.

CATTLE RAISING IN GEORGIA
No doubt you desire to secure a for
mula for making what is known as the
arsenical solution for the destruction
of cattle ticks. This may be used
with a spray pump or a dipping vat.
Of course, where one has a large num
ber of cattle to handle a dipping vat is
by all means the most economical and
desirable agency to employ for the
quick and effective destruction of ticks.
The following is the formula: salsoda
24 pounds, white arsenic 8 pounds, pine
tar 1 gallon. To this should be added
sufficient water to make 500 gallons.
Great care should be exercised in the
preparation of the arsenical solution. A
large tank or caldron to which heat
may be applied either by fire or a Jet
of steam is necessary. Twenty-five
gallons of water should be brought to
a boil. Then add the sal soda and
stir until dissolved. Add the arsenic
and again stir until dissolved. Allow
the Solution to cool to 140 degrees Fah
renheit. Dissolve one pound of concen
trated lye In one quart of water and
stir into the pine tar. • Then add the
tar slowly in a thin stream to the so
lution of soda and arsenic. ■ Stir thor
oughly. Increase by the addition of
water to 50 gallons. This is known
as “stock” solution and is not ready
for use until it has been reduced in
strength by the addition or water at
the rate of nine gallons "to each gallon
of stock solution. Remember that ar
senic is a deadly corrosive and great
care must be exercised in its use.

Of the United Status Bureau of
Animal Industry.
T HE cattle industry of the
United States is today worth
$2,020,000,000; and the sale
o*. uutter, milk and.beef amounts cb
$888,000,000. Is there any wpnder
then,' at the efforts on the pirt of
the government, the states and the
individual to safeguard, to improve,
and to extend this industry?
It is apparent that the beef and
the dairy products, which for cen
turies have been tbe principal part
of the American diet, will soon be
less plentiful than in former years,
unless steps are taken to foster the
cattle industry on the farms of the
United States.
It is not likely that dairy products
will ever sell at a low price. High-
priced lands, smaller pastures and an
increased population will keep them
in greater demand. Cattle, mqre
than ever, are the most important
part of the farm; and cattle-breeding
is to become more important than
at any time in the past.
But the southern states, particu
larly Georgia and the other South
Atlantic states, have not kept pace
with other sections in encouraging
the cattle industry. The value of
cattle on the farms in Georgia is hut
half the value of cattle in other
states. This condition accounts for
the large annual expenditure in the
south for cattle products produced
elsewnere.
For the first time in the history
of the country, the southern states
are presented with an opportunity,
and are called upon to supply their
proportion of the country’s needs in
the matter of beef and dairy prod
ucts. The middle west farmers are
demanding cattle for their feed lots >
and the eastern markets should no
longer he required to ship fresh beef
across the continent wuen better
shipping facilities by either water or
rail are closer at hand; therefore, it
seems to be good business for Geor
gia, a great farming region, to give
special attention to developing a cat
tle industry of great proportions.
The state of Georgia was founded on
the principles of “agriculture and
commerce,” so why not take advan
tage of this great natural and practi
cal resource and extend our com
merce in cattle and dairy products?
Today Georgia is - not a cattle coun
try but tomorrow she may be made
one. There are a great many people
who think Georgia farms and climate
are not suitable for cattle-. It is true
that there are many things to con
sider in establishing a profitable cat
tle industry. Among all of them
there are some to be considered first.
To illustrate: Before the Panama
canal could be dug—even before the
digging began, the territory had to
be freed of agencies affecting man so
that he might work under conditions
favorable to his health. As a result
the first step was to free the terri
tory of diseases affecting man. The
same precautions are necesary in the
establishment of any great and
worthy undertaking that means a
benefit to the people now and in the
future.
The cattle fever tick, which trans
mits disease to cattle, is one of the
evils which makes the establishment
of cattle hazardous and unprofitable.
So as a first step this disease agency
affecting cattle must be removed
from the farms of the whole state.
When this work has been acomplish-
ed, the way is then open and safe
to do all the things necesary to es
tablishing the cattle industry and
make it profitable on Georgia farms.
(1) Eradicate the cattle tick.
(2) Establish fences and pastures.
(3) Provide feed for winter. (4)
Improve home stock with the very
best sires possible to obtain and con
tinue to breed the best.
These are not theories but facts,
because it is known that the same
principles are involved and must be
considered in establishing good cat
tle, no matter in what section of our
country.
The cheaper and greater the land
area not utilized for actual farming
operations and the greater possibility
of having a variety of foreign crops,
the more profit there is in cattle. In
these particulars Georgia land own
ers and farmers have an advantage.
Less than fifty years ago the middle
west was a great cattle pasture and
these pastures were filed with cat
tle, because land was cneap. That
day has passed and today that sec
tion is settled with smaller farmers,
conducting general farming opera
tions.
It was found that cattle could not
be produced and maintained without
resort to producing feed for the
cattle throughout the cold season,
so the busines has been reduced to!
smaller herds, depending on cattle
from other sections tor feeding opera,
tions. The idea now throughout the
country is to have the smaller herds
on the farm and more of them and
this plan is being adopted and will
continue to improve and be extended
from year to year. In former years
it was “the big pot in the little one.”
Now things are reversed. It’s the
small farmer and land owner that
must receive special consideration
because it is he that has clothed and
fed the people of the past; he will
continue it in the future.
This is a day of concentration of
efforts in all lines of industry. The
object in mind of' both producer,
consumer and user of all commodi
ties is to demand the best at all
times. It is well that Americans have
this very idea, because it means high
development of mind and accomplish
ments along every line.
A cattle industry will be estab
lished in Georgia, because it is abso
lutely necessary at this modern time
of diversified plans of farming. Great
yields cannot be had and continued
without cattle and other live stock on
the farm, that these crops may be
utilized to the best advantage.
When the cattle fever tick has
been eradicated and the federal cat
tle quarantine restrictions removed,
we can honestly and conscientiously
advocate the introduction of im
proved cattle for breeding purposes.
Feeding and marketing of cattle can
then proceed unhampered. As a re
sult of this improvement, cattle will
be of the kind and quality that will
be profitable to feed, the kind that
the market demands, the products of
which the consumer desires and will
buy and use.
Last year the work of eradication
of tne cattle fever tick was complet
ed in sixteen hundred square miles
of territory in the state of Georgia
and extended this year into seven
thousand additional square miles.
The people are awakened to the im
portance of having more and better
cattle on the farm. It has been found
that the great proportion of land ly
ing idle and unprofitable can be
made into pastures for cattle and
that these pastures from a grazing
standpoint may he made equal to
those of any other section of the
country.
Since the adoption of the work ot
tick eradication in 1906 by the vari
ous states interested, a territory
nearly four times as large as the
state of Georgia has been freed of
this serious cattle disease. This work
is accomplished and completed by
use of the cattle dipping vat and the
change of pasture method. The
work may be completed on any given
farm or a whole county within from
four to eight months, depending on
the co-operation of the cattle owner.
The result of this work has stimu
lated a great demand for improved
cattle for breeding purposes. The
south is looked upon by the breeders
of pure bred cattle as a great fu
ture market for their stock. Thus
the whole country will be benefited
by the movement to have more and
better cattle on southern farms.
