GENERAL FARMING NEWS.

11l a decade of draught horse breeding, a Western Canadian farmer says: "Feeding and management is not the only big feature. Getting the right sire, and sticking to one breed, and oven one type, are absolutely essentia], and the greatest factor in horse breeding."

Farm animals should be fed according to their needs. Their needs depend, ot course, upon the product that they yield. Work horses are kept for supplying energy and should bo supplied with feeds that will furnish the required energy at the least possible cost all things considered.

Lord Lansdowne, in a reccnt speech, delivered in England, said: "After all, agriculture is infinitely the most important of our national .interests. It is of all industries the on© which can bo most appropriately described as indispensable. It is an inexhaustible sourco of our national wealth."

If thoro is any 0110 place where horse manners count more than another, it is in the show ring. A draught that docs not lead well, a roadster or a harness horso that does not drive right up to the bit, a hack that does not walk, trot, and canter readily, or a hunter that runs down his fences has little chance of winniiig the coveted prizes.

Tho value of the hay gathered in England is calculated to be about £25,000,000, and it is estimated by exports that if all tho hay lands' in the country were dressed with . phosphate, or phosphate combined with potash, the produce would bo largely increased and improved. If dressed with nitrogen, phosphate, and potash, the produce would'probably bo doubled.
