FARM BRED COLTS. 
Fig. 460 shows two farm-bred colts 
grown in .Tioga Co., N. Y. These lit¬ 
tle fellows, 10 weeks old, are great pets 
for the children. The mares do a rea¬ 
sonable amount of farm work and the 
colts, if of good quality and well trained, 
add quite a little to the income when 
the farm produces a good supply of 
hay and grain. We find many farmers 
who tell us that no live stock pays them 
better than a good pair of brood mares. 
“THE FARMER’S HORSE.” 
Last Spring there was a discussion 
in The R. N.-Y. about the “commission” 
in New Jersey which is importing draft 
stallions for public service. Mr. Van 
Alstyne spoke of standard-bred horses 
that are too fast or too nervous for 
farm work. He might have told us that 
the “standard-bred” horse that “pulls 
himself to pieces” is either one that has 
first been trained with the object of de¬ 
veloping speed, and then put to work 
for which he has been disqualified by 
both breeding and training, or one whose 
owner was possessed of the mistaken 
idea that his colt must first become fully 
developed in size and strength and then 
be “broken.” 
With the diversified character of our 
possible that a State breeders’ commis¬ 
sion might be helpful in establishing a 
higher standard, and more marked uni¬ 
formity of representative individuals of 
the different breeds of all domestic ani¬ 
mals; and since it is the avowed policy 
of our government to encourage and 
promote home industries the State might, 
without inconsistency, and, I believe, 
without violation of republican prin¬ 
ciples, offer premiums for the best 
specimens of the different recognized 
breeds, conformed to a standard type to 
be established by a State breeders’ com¬ 
mission. It is possible a given amount 
of money could be as well used in such 
a way as in the introduction and main¬ 
tenance, by the State, of foreign-bred 
animals. It seems to me such a plan 
would be effectual in promoting excel¬ 
lency and securing uniformity, more 
honorable toward established citizen 
breeders who cannot bear the expense 
of engaging in competition with the 
State, and above suspicion of having 
been devised to “create soft places for 
politicians.” i. s. albright.

Butter Quotations. 
Do the New York butter quotations pub¬ 
lished in the country dailies give actual 
selling prices or are they “doctored”? If 
they are actual prices, how can buyers on 
the Jamestown, N. Y„ dairy board of trade 
afford to pay two or three cents a pound 
THE FARM PETS AT 
Eastern farms and farming, there seems 
to be work among us for horses of 
every known breed, cross and type, de¬ 
spite the “misfits” we too often see, and 
of the latter it is doubtful whether the 
“standard-bred” that is put to slow, 
heavy work suffers more than does the 
thick-winded, flat-footed draft horse 
that must suffice the wide-awake farm 
boy as a “single driver,” or serve the 
teamster for a holiday drive. 
Mr. Van Alstyne suggests that the pay 
received by the commission and “emer¬ 
gency” committees should be considered 
a moderate compensation, but to those 
of us who are engaged in raising horses 
to supply the needs of those who cannot 
well afford to reach the limit of $400 
for a team, the fees he mentions seem 
quite generous when considered along 
with the fact that an actual service of 
not more than a half hour may be ac¬ 
counted as “a day.” But the question— 
and one that interests us all—is whether 
the State should engage in competition 
with individual citizens, within its bor¬ 
ders, who are engaged in an established 
industry. Since New Jersey has taken 
this step, breeders in other States should 
prepare to meet the same question at 
home in the near future. 
All breeders recognize the desirability 
of a clearly defined standard of types 
of distinct breeds, and while the asso¬ 
ciations representing the different breeds 
have been considered to be the proper 
authority in such matters, it is quite 
LUNCHEON. Fig. 460. 
more than New York prices for butter to 
ship to New York? r. s. 
New York. 
This “premium evil,” as it is called, has 
been under discussion for several years. 
Two years ago the New York Mercantile 
Exchange was enjoined by the courts from 
issuing an official quotation that did not 
represent the current of trade. During the 
past Winter the Hughes committee inves¬ 
tigated this exchange among others in New 
York and recommended that its charter he 
taken away on account of the alleged mis¬ 
information given to the public by its 
price committees. The exchange has now 
voted to do away with this official quota¬ 
tion. If 26 cents was given out as the 
official price for extras on a certain day, 
when in fact it was impossible to get 
this butter here for less than 28 cents, the 
representative of a New York house buy¬ 
ing stock in a local board of trade at a 
distance, as in the inquiry, would have a 
strong buying leverage. lie could well af¬ 
ford to pay more than the so-called official 
price when that price was less than butter 
was actually selling for. This matter has 
been fairly well understood by butter 
boards for years, and it is probable that 
not nearly so many people were deceived as 
might he imagined, but it is a form of 
argument that appeals to human nature, 
even though the seller knows that it needs 
discounting. So long as an “official” 
price was given, the daily papers spread it 
about and it carried some weight. But it 
is argued, and with some reason, how is 
anyone to decide what the correct price is 
for, say, “Extra Creamery” in New York 
on any one day? In this market, with its 
great variety of wholesale buyers, it is easy 
to find three or four different wholesale 
prices for the same grade of butter on the 
same day. If dealers were compelled by 
law to report their sales, the price might be 
adjusted by an average, but in a strongly 
competitive market many dealers keep mum 
regarding business details. It is doubtful 
whether producers have suffered much loss 
on account of this matter of paying pre¬ 
miums over a so-called official price. Com¬ 
petition is sharp among buyers. If one 
man is getting the output -of a creamery 
for less than the butter is worth, this wiil 
soon l>e learned by some one and a higher 
bid made.
