LIVE STOCK MATTERS. 
(continued.) 
jurious than beneficial, the colt being 
unable to withstand the strain thus 
placed on such tender muscles. 
All that is necessary during the first 
two years of the colt’s life, is to attend 
to the feet, not allowing them to get 
malformed in any way, for the gait of 
the horse depends, to a great extent, on 
the formation of the feet. Shoes of 
enormous weight are used to get knee 
action. I was recently asked to look at 
the shoes worn by a Cob 14 hands 2 inches 
high ; they weighed exactly two pounds 
each. No wonder the little fellow could 
step high enough to win a blue ribbon 
as a high stepper ! But this is not the 
natural action. 
Breed a horse whose shoulders run well 
back, and one who stands close to the 
ground all around ; the feet round and 
pointing neither outwards nor inwards ; 
then you will have a horse that does not 
require the persuasion of a pound or two 
of iron to force his action. Such horses 
are not the produce of a Thoroughbred 
stallion and a Clydesdale mare ; neither 
do they come from every scrub of a mare 
because she was bred to a good horse. 
Have both sides of the house of the neces¬ 
sary type, and like will beget like every- 
time. This is just as true of the high 
stepper, as it is of the trotter, or the 
Thoroughbred. j. n. b. 
CATTLE ON A COLORADO RANCH. 
GALLOWAYS AND IIOL8TEIN8. 
“ Away out West,” as the Easterner 
may term it, in the State of Colorado, 
and at an altitude of 7,000 feet, is located 
a stock-raising ranch, called “Forest 
Glen Farm.” The farm consists of 5,000 
acres, and is devoted to breeding pure¬ 
bred IIolstein-Friesian and Galloway cat¬ 
tle. The place is divided into 14 pas¬ 
tures, where may be found an abund¬ 
ance of the finest and most nutritious 
grasses grown anywhere—Buffalo,Gama, 
Blue Stem, and others. They grow to 
an average of a foot high, and are good 
both as a fat and milk-producing feed. 
The green grass comes about the middle 
or last of April, and by the latter part 
of September, is well cured for winter 
pasture. We have frost every month of 
the year, except June, July and August, 
and I have seen it in every month of the 
year. 
With the Galloways, I have about 200 
head that graze the year ’round, and 
never feed anything but the grass they 
pick, except during a severe storm of sev¬ 
eral days’ duration. Severe storms occur 
four to eight times a year, but they last 
only from two to three days; then our 
Colorado sunshine comes out, and it is 
but a day or so until most of the ground 
is free from snow. Young stock and 
cows with young calves, are fed well in 
sheds and corrals. The Galloways are 
far preferable to other breeds, for this 
part of the country, for they are great 
rustlers and do better on less feed. Stock 
are always in good shape in the spring. 
Owing to the small demand for breeding 
bulls the past few years, I have run 
more to steers, but have always kept 
my herd up as to strictly pure breeds. I 
sell my steers at two years of age, and 
they average from 1,000 to 1,100 pounds 
each. 
The Holsteins were not bred for range 
cattle, or what we call “ rustlers.” I 
milk for a creamery and cheese factory. 
There’s no mill in our section, and grain 
comes high, so I never feed grain, ensi¬ 
lage or beets. This is where our nutri¬ 
tious grasses come in. Milch cows are 
fed nothing from May 1 until October 15. 
but have access to pasture night and 
day. The rest of the year they have 
what hay and corn fodder they wish. 
Our seasons being so short, we are 
unable to raise corn to much beyond the 
roasting ear, and what little corn there 
is, is shucked out for the hogs. My cows 
have always averaged me from $4.50 to 
$5.25 a month each. The choicest bull 
calves are raised, the rest vealed. In 
addition to the cattle on the farm, there 
are 80 horses and 250 acres under culti¬ 
vation. A. G. C.

Dr. B. J. Kendall Co.—I bought a splendid bay

for $30. I used Kendall’s Spavin Cure. The 
Spavin is gone now and I have been offered $150 
for the same horse. I only had him nine weeks, 
so I got $120 for using $2worthof Kendall’sSpavin
