The Vanishing Horse 
There are very few colts to be found on 
the farms in this section, and it is the 
opinion of most of the farmers around 
here that (here is very small profits, if 
any, in raising them, as good farm teams 
can be bought at from .$200 to $.'100 per 
pair, and the future don't look any more 
promising than the present. What few 
colts are raised here are mostly Percher- 
ons. Automobiles, trucks and tractors are 
taking tbe place of a good many horses.

The Breeds of Sheep—the Shropshire 
The Shropshire sheep cannot be ex¬ 
celled for a general-purpose sheep. They 
produce an excellent quality of wool of 
good staple. The breed is also noted as 
mutton earners, and the meat is of the 
hest quality and flavor. The lambs ma¬ 
ture early, and the ewes are extra good 
mothers, producing a lot of milk. It is 
Very seldom that a ewe will not own her 
lamb. The Shropshire ewes usually raise 
150 per cent and sometimes 200 per cent 
of lambs. 
A flock of Shropshires is a very attrac¬ 
tive sight. They are the aristocrats of 
the domestic animal kingdom, so sleek in 
form and graceful in carriage. They are 
well sprung in rib, the bodies are com¬ 
pact, fine pink skin, heads short but beau¬ 
tiful and well covered; the neck is well 
arched, and the pose is perfect. They 
have full breasts, broad backs, deep 
twists, short of leg and good leg of mut¬ 
ton. The sheep are hardy, docile and 
thrifty, and can readily adapt themselves 
to all climates and all conditions except 
unkindness. They are easily fattened for 
market, and are money makers. Tbe 
rams are wonderful stock getters. There 
is always a ready sale for them, which 
proves their popularity. STEVENS bkos.

Lump on Jaw 
I have a young horse about six years 
old. lie has a hard lump on one of his 
lower jaws and he also foams at the 
mouth at times. He does not seem to 
grind his feed well, and be is very poor. 
He is very awkward and has no ambition. 
It is not liis teeth that are bothering him, 
but I think it is tbe hard lump. Some¬ 
times it seems larger than at other times. 
New Y^ork. j. G. 
If it is absolutely certain that a dis¬ 
eased or split molar tooth is not causing 
the lump, it is probably due to a stone in 
the salivary duct and that might be re¬ 
moved by operation. Home treatment 
will not avail, nor would it be safe to open 
the lump; but it would be all right to 
apply tincture of iodine every other day, if 
you cannot employ a veterinarian, a. s. a.

BERKSHIRES 
STONE’S 
BERKSHIRES 
They are splendid hogs—tbe kind that 
produce pork at a profit. They are the 
farmers’ type, because they turn feed into 
pork at a profit. They are the chosen type 
of the more progressive modern breeders, 
who require size and quick development. 
The uniform growthiness of all the pigs in 
tiie litters of our herd is perhaps its most 
unusual quality. Their popularity has been 
built upon the practical pork quality of 
size, early maturity and easy feeding abil¬ 
ity. We have on our farm the largest and 
best herd of EPOCHALS in the East. We 
believe you will like them. We know we do. 
Epochal of Stone Farm 
No- 255848 
An English-bred boar stands at the head 
of our herd. lie is full brother to the first 
first son of Imported Epochal, that sold for 
ten thousand dollars. The Epochal Berk¬ 
shires won more prizes than any other herd 
exhibited in 1919. A grand total awards of 
234. First prize and grand championship 
to one exhibitor. We have a number of his 
Spring gilts bred to sons of Superior and 
Superb Emblem for March, April and May 
litters. They are large size, smooth young¬ 
sters, with short noses, broad backs and 
heavy bams. We also offer a number of 
yearling sows safe in pig for January. Feb¬ 
ruary and March litters, and can furnish 
young boars not related to the sows or the 
litters they carry, thus making a desirable 
foundation for a purebred registered herd 
of Berkshires of standard type. We also 
offer Fall and Winter pigs' of both sex. 
We record and transfer ownership to pur¬ 
chaser. Also pay express charges within 
1.900 miles in the U. S., and guarantee 
safe arrival. Orders booked for bred sows, 
also young pigs. If you want the best of 
the breed, come to headquarters for them.
