America Has Five Creeds
Of Popu! ar Draft Horses
' We have in America live well-
Irnown breeds, and all are so much
r :ihe that only nn expert can tell
them apart, relates Capt. Maxwell
M. Corpening in the Chicago Trib
une.
The Shire, Suffolk, and Clydes
dale belong to the English group.
The Belgian, as its name discloses,
comes from Belgium, the Percher
on from France. Bred nearest the
fountainhead of all our draft breeds,
the Belgian is the largest of the lot.
Reared on low land eminently suit
able for production of big horses,
the Belgian has little to do from
foalhood upward but to eat and
grow. The Belgian government has
played the leading role in improving
its hea;y horses.
Undoubtedly the Pcrcheron
springs from the same fountainhead
in Flanders as does the Belgian.
The accepted belief among histori
ans is that on defeat of the Moors
by Charles Martel in 732 the eastern i
stallions of the invaders were
crossed with the larger horses of
the low countries and the founda
tion of the Pcrcheron laid in that
manner. Arabian and Andalusian
blood lias since been infused.
Characteristic of two of the Brit
ish group—the Shire and Clydesdale
is the lung hair on the lower legs.
This is said to be true of any horse
raised in the lowlands. The start
of the Clydesdale occurred in 1750
when John Patterson imported from
England into Scotland a black
Flemish stallion. To this horse all
the good Clydesdales may be traced.
The Shire is traced back to the
same black horse of Flanders.
Larger Animals Do Not
Produce the Most Young
1 The larger the animal in size the
smaller is the litter as a rule. Thus !
the average number of young born !
by the opossum is 18; of the rab
bit, from six to eight; of the pig,
ton, and of the monkey, man, cow,
Jhorse, walrus, camel and elephant,
but one.
;■ Also, states an authority in the
New York Times, the larger the lit
ter the higher is Die mortality. The
opossum, for example, is never able
to rear more than 13 of her 18 off
spring, with the probability that not
more than II or 12 will survive. The
trouble is that the opossum has only
12 serviceable nipples, instead of I
the 18 required for her brood. But
to make up for the deficiency she
has an incubator in the form of a
pouch in which the prematurely
born can develop. At that it Is a
struggle for survival, with 18 im
mature creatures clawing for food.
Onc*e a successful clawer has seized
a nipple, he never lets go for six
.weeks, which explains why half a
! doz-on of the feebler young must die.
Twinning runs in families, so that
it is probably a genetic trait.
Before “putting off u util to
morrow” check and see if you
did yesterday’s job TODAY.
Success comes from executing
every act as if it were the last.

” LOC/L AGRICULTURE NEWS
In September, 1937, when I en
tered the eighth grade, 1 had a
hard time selecting what pro
jects to have in Agriculture. I
finally decided on potatoes for
my Major Enterprise, corn and
pigs for my Minor Enterprise,
and Austrian winter peas for my
Contributory Enterprise. We are
required to have three Enter
j prises in order to be able to take
I Agriculture. A Major Enter
prise is an enterprise that most
of our cash is gotten from, (but
mine turned out different), a
Minor Enterprise is an enter
prise from which less of the cash
is intended to be gotten from, a
Contributory Enterprise is an en
terprise that contributes to the
soil such as Austrian winter'
peas or some other legume.
The reason that I decided on (
potatoes for my major project'
was that I had a small patch the!
year before and made a good
amount of profit off them so I
was willing to try it again. The
reason I chose corn was that I
already had a gilt of good stock
and also made a little money on
hogs the year before. I chose
corn so that I would have some
to feed my hogs on the next
year, because I was planning on
having hogs in my projects then
too. Also 1 could sell enough to
probably cover expenses and
then sell a little for profit or
spending money.
I planted I'4 acres of potatoes
on April 23. After grown the
expenses, including the cost of
i labor and cost of fertilizer was
$9.85. I sold the potatoes for
$41.40, which left me a net pro
fit of $31.55 from the potatoes.
The gilt in my Minor Enter
prise farrowed January 5. There
were only four pigs in the litter
so I bought two from my dad to
make six, because 1 thought I
could attend to six as well as
four and then make more profit.
The pigs had a good start on
milk and slop with a mixture of
bran and shorts mixed in. They(
were weaned at about 7 weeks of
age and I immediately began
keeping shelled corn in the self
feeder I had built. I kept a
‘ mixture of bone meal, tankage,
and stock powders in the self
feeder. Besides they had an
acre of oats to graze on at all
times for pasture. At the age
of 90 days I butchered and sold
the two largest ones, which
weighed 98 and 106 pounds each.
The others were sold from 3 to
10 days later. They averaged
about 110 pounds dressed. The
six netted $64.70. The expenses
were $23.20. That makes a pro
fit of $41.50 on my pigs.
The corn in my other Minor
Enterprise was planted April 28.
There was one acre of it. The
1 expenses including labor, fertili
zer, soda were $7.00. I sold 30
bushels of corn for $l5 and kept
21 bushels for feed for my pigs
the next year. That makes $25
for corn, counting the 21 bushels
that I saved, and taking the
$7.00 expenses from it leaves $lB
profit on my corn.
I planted Austrian winter peas
as Contributory Enterprise be
fore the corn and turned it un
der
This is a total of $91.05 made
on my Major, Minor and Con
tributory Enterprises.
For this year 1 already have a
litter of eight pigs. Also I have
purchased a pure-bred Duroc-
Jersey pig and am going to let
him grow up and use it later for
stock in my Agriculture project.

rnests as Firemen
In 1705, King Louis XIV of France
founded the Paris fire brigade.
Forty firemen formed the first bri
gade, and they were recruited from
workmen used to doing their jobs
high above the ground. A number
of years later, an auxiliary fire bri
gade was formed for the guarding
of Paris, This was composed of
four companies of priests. The |
great bell of the cathedral of Notre
Dame was used as a fire warning.
On one occasion, when there was a
big fire at the famous hospital of the
Hotel Dieu (which adjoins Notre |
Dame), 20 of these firemen-priests
were burned to death in trying to |
rescue the patients.
Deep and Shallow Water
Provided there is sufficient water
to float the body, the depth of wa
ter makes no difference to the swim
mer, its buoyancy being the same
in both cases. The popular belief
that swimming is easier in deep
water is incorrect, though perhaps
the mental effect has some influ
ence. A person swimming in shal
low water knows that on the least
fatigue he may stop swimming and
stand on the bottom; in deep water
he knows he cannot do this but must
exert himself to swim well and un
der these circumstances it may
seem easier to him.
