EXCELLENT UTILITY HORSE
FOR GENERAL FARM PURPOSES
While Medium-Sized Animal Can Do Heavy Work in Pro
portion to His Weight, Yet He Is Unfit for Anything
Else — One of Medium Weight Is Best
for Agricultural Work.
A good type of farm horse. This is a cross between a German Coach
stallion and a standard-bred mare. Has fine action and spirit and is heavy
enough for all general work on the farm.
<By J. M. BELT.. Virginia.) |
The heavy draft has his place, so
does the diminutive pony, but neither
of these extremes in horseflesh fills
the bill for general use on the farm.
One horse on our place, now in his
twenty-third year, was practically i
sound after nineteen years of steady
work, work which included hauling
cordwood. lumber and railrcad ties '
over reads which were never of the
best, and this faithful beast did his
part day after day in all weathers
alongside of mules and other horses,
many of which were heaving and the
majority are now out of commission
from age and other Infirmities.
“Old Major," as he is known
throughout the countryside, was raised
and for 21 years belonged to the party
who raised him, and was bought by
the writer last spring.
His former owner was a country
storekeeper, farmer and wood mer
chant. and withal a fox-hunter, weigh
ing close to 200 pounds.
He and his saddle are a load for
any horse in a run across country aft
er a pack of Virginia hounds.
During each season and for a dozen
years or more, “Old Major" bore his
master on hunts innumerable with
never a blunder, ar.d from the time he
was two and one-half years old until
he was sold last spring he was the
general utility animal around the
premises.
It seems like stetching the truth to
recount the 19 years of steady work
of this remarkable horse; work under
the saddle, in light and heavy harness,
that would have killed many a heav
ier. or lighter horse long ago (for
there is no more wearing work than
that of the general-utility horse on
the farm), a week's plowing followed
by two or three deys’ light harness
work, then a few more days' plowing,
next, hauling the wood in a team, to
say nothing of the Sunday trip to
church.
It is not my object to say anything
derogatory regarding the merits of
any type of horse, for, as before stated,
they all have their uses.
However, in passing, it is worthy of
note that while the medium-size horse
on the farm can do heavy work in
proportiqp to his weight, yet the very
heavy horse is utterly useless for any
thing but heavy work, being entirely
out of place when it comes to work in
the saddle or in light harness.
There are many farmers these days
who are working on the intensive sys
tem, cultivating small areas of crops,
some of these having left the city for
the country.
Their families will want the horses
to ride or drive occasionally, and un
less these farms can keep extra horses,
teams for work and also the pleasure
horses, let them keep those of medi
um size weighing 1,000 to 1,100 pounds.
When a team of this size is not busy
at farm work, they can be put tp the
surrey or carriage and make a fair
showing on the road, as a pleasure
team. *
Beside doing considerable farm
work since I have owned this horse. I
hcve driven him regularly.
The * conformation of ‘‘Old Major"
is most excellent from a standpoint of
service; his head is well set on his
neck, and his neck is well set in his
shoulders, which are strong and deeply
muscled at the same time; his barrel
is fine and round; in other words, he
is well ribbed out.
His coupling is good, his hips wide
but not ragged, while his loins and
thighs are indicative of strength.
His hocks are good and clean of
TO DOMESTICATE
THE BLUEBERRY
Plantation In Operation Hear
Elkhart, lnd.. That Has Prov
en Productive and Pro
fitable.
Not so many months ago the depart
ment of agriculture published a bul
letin dealing with the results of ex
periments on the domestication of the
blueberry. There was a question in
the minds of scientists of the bureau
of plant industry, whether blueberry
culture could be definitely recom
mended as an agricultural industry
insof&r as the actual money return
was concerned. To obtain this in
formation experimentally would re
quire many years. It happened, how
ever, that the bulletin has been the
means for the department to obtain
knowledge of the actual existence of
a blueberry plantation near Elkhart,
lnd., more than 20 years old. This
plantation, which was examined by
officials of the bureau, was establish
ed about 1889 on a piece of sandy bog
land containing wild blueberry plants
This bog the owner drained, cleared
of brush, and set with wild blueberry
plants of bearing age. The plants were
procured from large swamps in south
ern Michigan. They were set in rows
at a distance of eight feet each way
and were kept clear of all other
growth by shallow cultivation, supple
mented by hand weeding. The plan
tation has been productive and profit
able, the net profits last year being a
little more than $160 per acre. Ex
act records for the earlier years are

the exception of slight wind puffs, his
common bones are flat and broad; his
feet are rather small and too narrow

one time from contracted heels, ow

greatly remedied since I have had him
shod under the direction of a compe

He has had very little shelled oats,

Since I have owned him, which is
for the past year, I have fed him some
bran and oats, but he still grinds

GOOD PUN FOR
SELF-CLOSING GATE
Illustrations and Detailed In*
strut tions for the Construc
tion of a Convenient
Entrance.
Here is a good plan for a self-clos
ing gate, writes E. J. Wehrlin, in the
Orange Judd Farmer. The upright
piece at the hinge end of the gate is
made higher than y?e post it swings
on. A crossbar is driven tightly
through a hole, at right angles with
the gate. Make the crossbar 2 feet
long or over and run wires from the
ends of the crossbar to a point 2 feet
from the crossbar and continue by a
single wire for 1 foot.

binder is here attached and a wire
is connected with this spring and run
to the second post of the fence. This

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA
A careful canvass made of a num
ber of men farming in a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cents a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 13
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost of production and freight 68
cents ind would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
of 17 Vfe cents and for his high-grade
wheat of 19Vs cents; and though this
is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a' very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much beiow its present level. A mat
ter of importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost of produc
tion. The following table has been
prepared after careful investigation:
Interest on 320 acres, value
$30 per acre, 3 years at 6
per cent interest.$1,720.00
Interest on horses, machin
ery. wagons, ploughs, har
rows, etc., to operate 320
acres—say $2,500 for 3
years . 450.00
Getting 320 acres ready for
crop first year, doing one's
own work, with hired help,
about S3.50 per acre. 1,120.00
Getting 320 acres ready for

year, about $1.25 per acre
per year, or $2.50 per acre

Threshing 320 acres, estimate
I 20 bushels per acre per

Cr.
By wheat crop farm 320 acres

Balance to credit of farm aft
er 3 years operation, $2,
563.00 per year. 7,526.00
“To operate 4S0 acres would cost
less in proportion, as the plant re
quired for 320 acres would do for the
larger farm, and the interest on plant
for the extra 160 acres would be
saved."
The figures given may be open to
criticism, but they will be found to
be reasonably accurate, with a fair
ness given to the expense columns.
There are those who profess to do
the work at a much less cost than
those given.
What tne Copy Boy Wrote.
Representative Dan Anthony of
Kansas, publisher of the Leavenworth
Times, once had a office hoy who
yearned to know how to use a type
writer—which accomplishment, the
boy figured, would make him a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-down
machine over to him, says the Wash
ington Herald, and bade him learn to :
run it.
"What'll I write?” the boy asked.
“Oh. just take some sentence, any
j sentence at all," Anthony told him,
"and see how long it will take you to
fill a page with it.”
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony chanced to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom of the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac
tice with was: "Who the- invent
ed school?”
