DEVELOPING DRAFT HORSES. 
A well-known writer and authority 
upon horse matters, in a recent Breed¬ 
ers’ Gazette article, deplores the fact 
that, though we own more draft horses 
than all the rest of the world, we are 
not breeders of horses of the prize¬ 
winning type, such as are produced with 
such regularity on the other side of the 
Atlantic. Some of the reasons given 
in the article referred to are that many 
of those'who were starting in as breed¬ 
ers of purebred horses were ignorant 
of the true draft conformation, and 
were easily misled by horse importers; 
then after getting a start as breeders of 
good horses, perhaps the farmer and his 
family moved to town, or his children 
did not take up the horse business, thus 
giving a serious setback to the business 
of horse breeding in their particular lo¬ 
cality. Furthermore, it takes much 
financial means to own a horse farm 
and to stock it with a proper comple¬ 
ment of purebred draft horses, and 
when the American farmer gets that 
prosperous he goes to town and takes 
an interest in stock whose pedigrees are 
recorded on the ticker tapes, or what 
is perhaps worse, gets the fast-horse 
craze, and an incompetent tenant runs 
the old farm down while the tine draft 
few exceptions to the latter statement 
which give us hope that, given more 
time, America may yet assume a high 
place in the list of nations as a pro¬ 
ducer of purebred livestock. American 
money buys the best stock to be had in 
Europe, and American feed is as good 
as is grown anywhere, and having the 
foundation stock and the feed all we 
need is generations of breeders who love 
their stock as much as or more than 
they love the dollars; then shall we 
become more than merely a nation of 
stock speculators. The Percheron stal¬ 
lion shown in the picture, Fig. 7, is 
typical of the breed, and an excellent 
individual. This horse is doing good 
in upbuilding a race of grade drafters 
in this locality, but as to adding any¬ 
thing to the purebred blood of the com¬ 
munity, his value is nil, for to be of such 
value registered mares must be owned 
in a locality and bred to these excellent 
stallions, and as such is not generally 
the case here, we do not get the greatest 
possible benefit from them. When the 
production of purebred stock is no 
longer regarded as a speculative propo¬ 
sition. but as a learned profession, where¬ 
in integrity and honor shall be domi¬ 
nant motives second only to a love 
for and the desire to produce fine in¬ 
dividuals of the particular breed being 
handled, and when there shall be some 
one competent to keep up the good work 
AN OHIO PERCHERON STALLION. Fig. 7. 
horses become but a memory. In Eu¬ 
rope they do it differently. In England 
purebred stock is largely produced by 
a fine type of tenants who have a life¬ 
time tenure, and whose place is taken 
by a son, who goes ahead with his 
father’s stock and his father's ideals, and 
improves upon and carries out the 
father’s policies. The other sons may 
perhaps come to America as herdsmen, 
but by the time they get enough of a 
start to become factors in producing 
purebred stock they have acquired so 
much of the American unrest that they 
either become millionaires or paupers, 
and our livestock industry is not greatly 
benefited.. 
In France, the home of the Percheron, 
the men who produce the horses we 
import are mostly farmers who own the 
small farms they cultivate, who own 
one or two extra fine mares each, which 
they breed to a government-owned stal¬ 
lion of great merit, and who take an 
absorbing interest in their stock and in 
their horses in particular. It is but 
little wonder that a son is inspired with 
a love for the draft horse, and takes up 
the father’s work when the latter goes 
to his reward. This is not staying in 
the old rut, nothing of the kind, for the 
son, if he has ability, can further im¬ 
prove the stock left by his father; may 
and does acquire new ideals and ideas. 
That such systems are better than our 
way of handling purebred stock is 
shown by the fact that imported show 
animals easily defeat home-bred ones 
in American showings. There are a 
begun by another then will Americans 
deserve and get an enviable reputation 
as producers of purebred livestock.

WORMS. 
I have a colt that is troubled with worms. 
Could you give me remedy to get rid ot 
them? c. w. J. 
New York. 
Treatment differs somewhat according to 
the kind of worm to be destroyed, but for 
the usual worms of horses, the large, long, 
white ones known as Asearis megalocephala, 
dried sulphate of iron is quite effective. 
For an adult horse either mix in the feed 
night and morning for a week a table- 
spoonful of a mixture of equal parts of 
dried sulphate of iron, salt, ground gentian 
root and flowers of sulphur and then skip 
a week or ten days and repeat; or every 
night for a week mix in the feed one table- 
spoonful each of flowers of sulphur and 
salt and one dram of the iron. For mares 
in foal omit (lie iron. For colts, lessen the 
dose according to age and size. a. s. a. 
HOG CHOLERA. 
My herd of about four hundred hogs 
have nearly all died recently of cholera. 
A large part of them were inoculated with 
serum ; many of them, however, had tem¬ 
peratures above normal, which doubtless 
made the recoveries a lower percentage than 
otherwise. Can you recommend any method 
of procedure by which 1 am not likely to 
have a repetition of this trouble, and how 
soon, if ever, could 1 add sound hogs to 
my herd without inoculating them and with¬ 
out danger of their becoming diseased? 
What can be done to disinfect the premises, 
or will frost the coming Winter effect such 
desirable conditions? h. w. 
Ohio. 
It will be necessary to clean up, disin¬ 
fect, and whitewash the stables, and then 
leave them open for action of frost and air 
for three or four months. After that new 
hogs may be introduced, but as cholera has 
been present it certainly would be best to 
have the new hogs vaccinated against the 
disease. The vaccination should give im¬ 
munity if done before exposure to the dis¬ 
ease germs. In the case of your hogs, it 
doubtless was done after the disease had 
been contracted. Take the matter up with 
the State veterinarian or veterinarian of the 
State Agricultural Experiment Station.
