Draft Horse Breeding 
Fow fln.ssps of stock owners ami breecl- 
ci's can look forward with more confident 
anticipation than breeders of draft horses. 
The heavy draft horse is far from being 
superseded on either road or field, and 
with the favorable sale record.s as a solid 
foundation on which to build e.xpecta- 
tions for the future, we can look forward 
with a reassuring and hopeful spirit. 
There are two main source.? of inspiration 
to breeders of hish-class draft horses. In 
the first lilace, there is the important fact 
that powei’fnl geldings Inive never been 
in better deinaml than at the present 
tilin'. -Ml through the past recent years 
the demand e.xceeded the sniiply. and the 
Iiriccs ri'adily given wert* remunerative to 
the fanner who was fortunate enough to 
hav(' the right class of animal to soil. 
Fvi'n niod(‘rat(^ ai'd second-rate geldings 
command fair market; Init there was the 
unusual niarln'd dill'i'reiicc between the 
realizing vahn's of the lirst ;iml second 
grades, and tlu' observant breeder could 
iigai’i obtain from a study of tlie respec¬ 
tive prices incentive to endeavor to pro- 
duc' the better-class animal. 
It is not contended that uniform suc¬ 
cess can he guaranteed to anyone, as 
even tlie most judicious .enterprise is sub¬ 
ject to d;sai)i)ointnicnt ami failure. At 
tlu* same time, breeders can do much iu 
the way of reducing the risk of disap- 
! ( intim'i'.t by the application of jirmlent 
l:h('rality and discriniLnating judgment in 
tile management of their studs, while it 
is perfectly certain that substantial suc- 
ce.ss ciinnot he ohtiiined in haphazard 
fashion. The best buyers insist upon 
))lcnt.v of bone and weight of body, and 
in these jioints the majority of draft 
hoi’ses are up to the desired standard. 
Th.cri' is room for iiniirovement, howi'ver, 
in th;' (jual'ty ami formation ami style 
of action, ami it would he well if hreed- 
ei's of di’aft geldings were to devote a 
little more consideratioa to tlies*' (pial- 
itii’s. -\s time goes on Im.vi'rs will he- 
coiiu' mor(' ami more e.xacting in regard 
to theif- ■ intrchases. for iilthongh motor 
power has^*coim' to stay, it 1ms not yet 
to any apprhciahle- Extent intei'fered wdth 
the use'"of--the.'better class of gi'ldings. 
It is. p(Vs5dbtifc'ith''dt.‘ with the choicef of 
two alteriiatiye.s’v^. 'a ■ continuance of the 
(h'limml foi- hdrs(>ft''will dejieiid to a vital

There is, in so far as the future can 
h(' fore.seen. every I’esmon for feeling as¬ 
sured of a liberal-reward for the farmer- 
breeder who can iihice on the market 
geldings of the kind iillmh'd to above. It 
is liart'.ly m'(-(>ssary to add that, in order 
to iiccoinplish this object, or to |•('ducc 
the risk of disapixiintment to a minimum, 
the si'rvices of high-class stallions should 
Ix! secured, while so f:ir as may Ix' prac¬ 
tical. the same exacting conditions should 
be observed with respect to the mares. 
But the stallion in particular should he 
of the vei’y highest older, and now th.at 
th(' supply of such sires is usually suffi¬ 
cient to im'i't Iho (h'liiamls and r('(iuire- 
meiits. there should he no exeusi' for 
negligemx' or indilTerence on the jiart of 
the fariner-hri'oders, who. although they 
may not he justified in incui'ring tin; ex- 
of hiring these hoi’si’s indivi<lnally, 
can associate themselves into a liorse- 
hi-eedin.iv club or society, ami thus receive 
great benefits by the co-operative system, 
anil this h'ads up to another thought; 
that in lUiiny phices where those Federal 
Fjii ni Loan a.ssociations are organized the 
patrons can buy together with the money 
they hoi’row and thus they become the co- 
oix'r.’ilive user of tlu’ stallion iuid all jire 
furnished the uu'aus to have the service at 
such a rate that none can afford to turn 
down. Let me rep<'at. that the iirospect 
for future jirices sufficient to Wiirrant the 
hrci'ding ami development of draft geld¬ 
ings w:is never brighter, and it is the 
man tlmt gets in the band wagon that 
gets the must profit. R. B. rushing.

Heed Our Government’s Advice! 
Good, sound business sense sees the necessityand the wisdom 
of making Corn displace expensive grain and hay at a time 
when conservation of food and forage is a matter of national 
concern. No stock or dairy food is cheaper, more profitable 
or as succulent and healthful as corn raised and preserved 
right on the farm. Whether you sell milk or meat, cattle, 
hogs or sheep, raise your silage and

Provide Winter Milk and Meat Producing Food 
To supplant grazing, high-priced grain, hay and other dry 
fodder which have a ready, needful market. 
THE UNADILLA SILO is a most profitable investment. It preserves 
silage perfectly. It has exclusive features that made it win out among the 
nation’s most successful dairymen; with New York State, U. S. Govern¬ 
ment and County Farms, It is airtight, frost resisting and storm defying. 
Its famous door-fastener ladder is a boon to every silo owner. It is the

any point, the ease with which this silo is erected re¬

How Many Acres Did YOU Lose? 
The Government crop report shows that there were about 8,000,000 
acres of frosted corn in 1917. Figuring the average net loss at $10

lost just when most needed. Were you among the losers? Why not

own silo with a Papec Ensilage i-utter. In this way, you can save 
even frosted corn with only trifling ovs of feeding value. Don’t wait
