Profitable Animals on Any Farm.
(By JOSEPH MONTGOMERY, Secretary
of Minnesota Stallion Registration
Board.)
Never in the history of the draft
horse has the future appeared so
promising to breeders as now, despite
the statements of a, leading speaker
at the annual meeting of the State
Veterinarians’ association at Minne
apolis that the automobile and auto
truck were driving it out of busi
ness. There is no reason, in the light
of statistics, why the doom of the
draft horse should be spelled by the
auto.
Though the enormous number of
auto-trucks in the cities might lead
one to believe that they were crowd
ing the draft horse out of business,
actual figures do not prove it. Sta
tistics in the office of the Minnesota
stallion registration board show that
the number of sires used in this state
for horse-breeding has increased from
3,544, May 1, 1910, to 4,445, May 1,
1912. During the same period the
number of registered draft sires has
increased 35 per cent, there now be
ing over 1,450 in Minnesota. This is
an excellent guide to conditions of
the industry in this state and through
out the country.
Never in the history of the Chicago
and St. Louis markets, the two larg
est ones in the United States, has
the demand been so keen or the
prices so high for high class horses
of all sypes, especially the superior
craft type. Statistics from the U. S.
bureau of animal industry show that
the number of horses in this country
has increased from 13,500,000 to 21,-
500,000 in the past decade. The value
of all horses in this country has in
creased from $45 to slls in the same
period. This has occurred despite
the increase in the use of automo
biles.
First class draft horses have been
almost prohibitive in price this year,
because of the great demand for them,
and a team of drafters has often
sold as high as SBOO to SI,OOO. The
demand for high class saddle and
carriage horses in the eastern cities
has been so great that their prices
have been almost prohibitive to
many who can 'Afford automobiles.
All this should be very encourag
ing to persons in the United States
interested in horse-breeding. When
horses have increased at so rapid a
rate the last two years, and prices

My market ducklings are all raised
from White Pekin ducks, which have
the range of a half acre, five ducks to
one drake, says a writer in the Poul
try Journal. I use hens for mothers,
setting the eggs about February 1.1
sell them at ten weeks old, when they
weigh from five to six pounds, and
secure 14 to 16 cents a pound live
weight. When the ducklings are first
hatched I keep them in small quar
ters and feed about six times a day,
giving mixed feed, a little cornmeal,
cut clover and plenty of sand after
the first week, about four times a
day At six weeks 1 give them all
they will eat ofclean, mixed feed, corn
meal, clover, with fresh meat from a
rending place. I feed two quarts of
meat, with plenty of sand, to 25 duck
lings. The little fellows get fed every
have kept soaring in spite of the in
crease, there is no reason to believe
; that the automobile will ever drive
i them out of business. Instead of the
i automobile causing a scarcity of
• horses, it would be more reasonable
i to say that the scarcity of horses has
. caused the temporary advent of the
■ automobile and auto-truck.
Farmers in Minnesota need not
; fear to grow more horses. If they are
i large, sound, and serviceable, they
■ will always demand the highest
prices. The horse industry is found
: ed on a permanent basis, and has no
I reason to conflict with the automobile
industry in any way.
KEEPING POULTRY
FREE FROM LICE
; Recipe for Making Ointment Rec
ommended by Prof. Graham
■ —Also Kills Fleas.
What many breeders consider bet
-1 ter than powder for killing lice and
■ mites is an ointment recommended
! by Professor W. R. Graham of
i Guelph, Canada, one who has made
> a life study of poultry in the Domin
ion.
It is composed as follows: Mercury,
: 50 parts; lard, 25 parts; beef suet,
’ 23 parts; oleate of mercury, 2 parts,
■ The suet, if bought from the butcher,
! will have to be rendered over a fire
and poured Into the lard while it is
i warm, and then stir in the mercury
> and oleate of mercury. Use a
■ table knife or spoon to do the
stirring. Do not put hands into
i it. Should it prove too stiff to
. easily apply as an ointment, thin with
. a little cotton seed oil. All ingredi
i ents should be weighed rather than
■ measured. Put it away in small vas-
I ellne bottles or boxes well covered, and
i it will keep for months. This ointment
s will rid polutry of head lice and Texas
> fleas. For other mites and lice rub it
in well about the fluff below the vent
• and under the wings. It will not only
i kill the live vermin, but destroy the
i nits as well.
( It is a valuable thing for turkey rais
i ers to use on the old and the young
time they open their mouths, and be
gin to walk around. When they are
- filled up they sit down and grow fat.
My experience is at eight or nine
weeks to give them all they can eat. I
also feed green stuff as soon as it
grows. The bulk of my feed the last
week is meat and sand; all the meat
they will eat. The man I sell to says
my ducks beat all he sees; the meat
is what does the work. Grain can't
touch it. Pure water is essential in
duck raising, and good yards, moved
often in warm weather, as they are
apt to sour. I feed all the sand I can
mix in, keeping the ducklings quiet
and do not allow much exercise. All
my ducks are sold live weight; It is
just as profitable as the other way
and less trouble to handle them ir
that manner.

AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE
I
1 Freeland, Md. —“Baby's eczema
- started In little spots and would burst
and run all over his face and wher
’ ever the water would touch his face,
’ it would make another sore. Pimples
would break out and make his face
sore and Inflamed, and he was very
cross and fretful. It was awful. He
suffered tortures from it, and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend of mine
told me of the Cutlcura Soap and Oint
ment and I went to a drug store and
. bought them.
“When we would bathe his face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti
cura Ointment, he would be much bet
ter. He would wake up in the nights
and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment
[ and then he would rest all night. They

eczema.” (Signed) Mrs. Harry Wright,

IN THESE DAYS OF DIVORCES
Really Nothing Remarkable In the
Simple and Frank Explanation
of the Small Boy.
We were walking down the street
Sunday and we saw the most beauti
ful child sitting' on the front steps
of a pretty house, says Ted Robinson.
His eyes were so big and blue, his
curly head so golden, his Innocent
smile so frank and inviting that we
could not resist the temptation to en
ter into conversation with him.
"Well, son,” we said In the idiotic
ally genial way with which an adult
usually addresses a child, "how old
are you?”
“Four,” lisped the infant. (He didn’t
really lisp ft, because you can’t lisp
when you say four; but that’s the way
children are supposed to do.)
“Isn’t that fine!” (It would have
been Just as fine if he'd been three,
though, or five. More idiocy.) "And
whose little boy are you?”
"Mamma’s 11’1 boy.”
“Aren’t you papa's little boy, too?”
"Nope.”
“Why aren’t you papa’s little boy?”
“The decree gimme to mamma.”
Then we went on our pleasant way.
