INCREASE FOAL CROP AND
IMPROVE BREEDING CONDITION
Raising Industry Can be Made One of Most Lucrative
of Any Carried on la Connection With Agricultural
Work—Record Kept of Many Imported
Stallions Gives Facts.
Hi
JR M.®
' * -
Jr
Prize-Winning English Clydesdale.
The greatest leak in American ag
riculture is that of barren mares.
That the horse breeding industry can
stand such a waste of energy, money
and time is positive proof that the in
dustry can be made one of the most
lucrative of any carried on in connec
tion With the work of the farm. The
loss in my state, Nebraska, resulting
from mares that do not reproduce
themselves, exceeds 925,000,000- every
year. In all of the United States, the
loss from this source will exceed 5350,-
000,000. In the United States slightly
less than 40 foals are produced from
every 100 mares bred. A small frac
tion less than 23 foals are produced
by every stallion owned in this coun
try and it requires nearly four ser
vices of a stallion for every live foal
added to the horse population of this
country. These facts are small credit
to our breeding intelligence, writes
Dr. G. L. Carlson in the Farmers’
Mail and Breeze.
A record kept of many imported
stallions, covering a period of many
years, gives the following results:
The Suffolk stallions left 69 per cent,
of foals, Belgians 61, Percherons 55,
Clydesdales 54, and. the Shires 49
per cent. Feed is an important factor
in the case of stallions. Data gath
ered in several states, and covering a
period of several years, teaches us
that a corn diet does not produce a
high per cent, of foals. Oats mixed
with corn increased the foal crop by
6 per cent. Oats gave an increase of
14 per cent, as compared with corn.
Wheat bran added to the oats ration
resulted in 7 per cent, more foals,
while grass or alfalfa, with no grain,
gave 82 per cent, of foals. Here we
learn that the nearer we get to a
corn ration the smaller number of
foals produced, while the nearer we
get to a grass ration with no grain
! HANDY DEVICE
FOR BUTCHERS
—
j With Assistance of Derrick
Shewn in Ilinstration one
Man Can Lift Carcass
from Ground.
For a farmer who butchers only
once or twice a year it is hardly worth
while to build an expensive butcher
ing outfit. One of the best devices
I have ever discovered for lifting th-e
dressed carcass from the ground is
shown in the accompanying illustra
tion, says a writer in the Farm and
Home. A long pole is balanced across
a post 8 feet high or across a limb ci
iirv i

An Efficient Derrick.
a tree. On the short end of this pole
is attached a gambrel to which the
carcass is attached as shown. One
man can easily lift a heavy carcass
with this device. A good way to hold
the pole in place is to have a forked
stick in the ground, or one may tie
the end down if more convenient.
Precautions Against Frost.
Take precaution against apples
frosting in storage. Where there is
danger from freezing set a large tub
of warm water in the cellar to raise
the temperature. If freezing occurs
allow the f^uit to thaw slowly.
Seed Laws in Germany.
Germany has good laws in reference
to the purity and viability of seeds
that are for sale, anti these laws ap
pear to be well enforced.
the larger the number of foals pro
duced. In other words, the nearer we
approach natural conditions the more
foals we will have.
Data along these lines secured from
a different angle, show quite as con
clusively that corn is not good for
breeding stallions. The foal crop in
Missouri from the best stallions is but
41 per cent, of the mares bred, and
corn is the chief ration. In Kansas it
is 44; Illinois, 46; lowa, 47; Nebraska,
49; Minnesota, 61; Ontario, 71; .Mon
tana, 72; Wyoming, 72, and Idaho, 73
Here again we notice that the foal
crop is small in the corn states as
compared with the states producing
no corn, and the large foal crop is in
those states known as grazing states.
Over-feedlug is bad, too, regardless
of what the grain is. It is muscle,
rather than tallow, that Is wanted in
reproduction. Tallow is degenerating,
impairing the vitality of ail cells,
glands and nerves around which it is
deposited. Everything fed a stallion
should be clean and wholesome. Oats
that have been wet before threshing
. and musty or dusty hay should never
, be fed a stallion. Vigor tablets, ton
ics or stimulants should never be
■ given a stallion.
The manner of feeding our mares
has much to do with foal production.
: The following includes a large list ol
. mares kept on different feeds, and
: the per cent, of foals produced by
' them. The range kept mares pro
: duced 91 per cent., of loals; those fed
. grass in summer and alfalfa in win
l ter, 81; hay, oats and bran, 68; corn,
, alfalfa or clover. 58; corn, bran and
. hay, 52; hay and corn, 49 per cent,
s Here, again, the nearer we get to a
i corn ration, the smaller the foal crop
: and the nearer we get to a grass ra
> tion without any grain, the larger the
i number of foals.
FEW COMFORTS
i * FOR A PIGGERY
Animal Will Not Do Its Best
Cnless Kept Comfortable —
food for PuslilxtX
Spring Pigs.
CRy SYLVANUS VAN AKEN.)
If tbe hog is not comfortable he
will not do his best. The one object
of hog farming is profit. The hog
responding most readily to good care
and that is capable of best develop
ment and a variety of foods is the
most desirable.
A hog will not make a profit when
shut up in a small pen fed on dry
corn and filthy water.
Be sure to have a good place for the
sows to farrow in. Spring pigs well
cared for will bring the farmer good
money next fall and he will hardly
know how he came by it.
One will find the best food fcr
pushing pigs to be shorts mixed with
skimmilk placed in a separate pen
just out.of reach of the mother; the
ilttle fellows soon learn that it is for
t hem.
Ar soon as they begin to eat it up
clean, add a little corn meal to the
feed. When three mouths old one
may add to this an equal amount of
ground oats. After that soak shelled
corn and feed it for slops.
Make slop thick enough to pour
readily and add salt, as this aids di
gestion. Ilse old precess oil men'
soaked in slops fcr twelve hours as .
substitute for milk.
When being fed heavily, pigs should
have plenty of exercise. Early spring
pigs grown on wide grass range hav
ing skimmilk and small grain ration
costs the owners •but little, and are
the best money makers.
Excellent Sheep Practice.
It is the custom in Wyoming for
owners of land, who rent their fields
in the winter to sheepmen, to stipu
late in the agreement that the sheep
are not to be bedded in one place
more than two or three nights, so as
to spread the manure This is at
excellent practice.
We Have Just Completed
The enlargement of our Store, which makes
it twice the original size • and have filled it
with the very best lines oi
Hardware, Crockery, Housefurnishings
and Agricultural Implements
Seeing is believing, so we invite the public
to inspect our new store and stock.
