A Virginia Thoroughbred,
There is a great tendency on the
part of many to neglect the colts on
the farm during tho winter, says a
Minnesota bulletin. It too often hap
pens that there is apparent shortage
of feed, and tho result is that colts
are slighted. One way of ruining a
young colt is to have his growth
stunted during the first year or two.
Most of the colts on tho farm get a
good start the first six months of
their lives, from tho fact that they
are allowed to suckle the dam during
that time. Early fall provides them
with good pasture, and possibly they
have been receiving some oats or
shared a part of the feed of the mare.
Buch treatment puts them in good
shape for tho winter, but liberal feed
ing must be kept up If a strong, well
developed and matured horse is ex
pected.
The colt's system requires a con
siderable amount of bone and mus
cle-building material, and this can
only be had by feeding nitrogenous
feeds, such as oats, a little bran, oil
meal; and, If obtainable, some clover
hay. The feeding of corn, so often
practiced, is not dosirablo for the
growing colt, but had better be con
fined to the matured horses. Access
to the straw pile will not hurt a
growing colt, but It should not be
compelled to rely on the straw pile
for a livelihood.
The question is often asked: Why
do wo find so many promising colts
at the county fairs during the fall,
and such poor yearlings? The fore
going statement is in part explanatory
of such conditions of affairs.
One of the best forms of investment
on the farm is the liberal feeding of
COMMON SENSE PICKED UP IN HOG LOT
The best results in breeding come from well-matured ancestry
Growing young pigs can be trutta
iully termed detail work. The man
who is a good pig grower must like
the work and be willing to look after
the many details that demand atten
tion, and it will pay and pay big re
turns.
Some think that the breeding and
growing of hogs is a crowded occu
pation; but there is always room for
the best breeders and the best feed
ers at the top, even though the busi
ness is crowded by the average class
of swine growers.
No hog farm equipment is complete
without a good dipping vat, and it
should be used frequently during the
summer and early fall.
There is no one thing that will do
more to maintain health in the herd
than the judicious use of the dipping
vat.
It is far better to underfeed than to
overfeed the sow after she has farrow
ed. but she must be fed sufficient to
keep her quiet.
it is better for the sow if the yards
are so arranged that she can go a
few rods for her feed and drink.
Stock that is raised for breeding
purposes and stock that is raised for
market must be treated differently.
If we feed for pork there is a lack
of bone, muscle and constitution in
our breeding stock.
Darkness always deteriorates the
general health of the herd and makes
it possible to have corners and other
places where fiith accumulates. Light
farm animals of ail kinds; and the
colt is no exception. A well-bred colt,
if properly taken care of and fed the
right kind of feed during his first
three years of his life, will bring from
$75 to SIOO morn when three years
old (hail the one that is neglected
and poorly fed. Good young horses
are always in demand on the mar
ket, and can only be supplied from
tho farms where colts receive the
proper care and treatment..
PLANT ALFALFA
TO IMPROVE SOIL
Less Expense and Work Required
to Handle Than Grain Crop
—High Feed Value.
(By W. C. PA DM EH, North Dakota Ex
periment Station.)
One ton of alfalfa hay has the same
feeding value as 60 bushels of oats.
Alfalfa can be expected to average at.
least two tons per acre. This Is the
equivalent of 120 bushels of oats.
There is no land that will average 120
bushels of cats in fact It takes good
land and good handling to average 60
bushels of oats per acre.
The alfalfa requires less work and
less expense to handle than a grain
crop. And the alfalfa will improve
the soil while the oat ejop will reduce
Its productive power. ' To get this
value from alfalfa it must he fed on
the farm.
It needs to be kept in mind that the
alfalfa is a roughage.
and sunshine are invigorating and
stimulating and detrimental to the
growth of disease and germs.
The bacon type of hogs are more a
matter of environment than of breed
ing.
The old saying that ''anything is
good enough for a hog," does not go
in these days of good farming.
Free range and clean water are
the best preventives of disease' we
know of.
Food for Cows.
After a cow becomes fresh in milk
the first feed to give her is a warm
bran mash. This, besides being
strengthening, is of a general benefit.
It is a good idea to cut down the
meal ration on the cows, beginning
some four weeks before calving and
at that time increase the amount of
bran. Cornmeal makes animal heat,
but bran is cooling to the system.
Thorough Preparation.
The better the preparation of the
soil the less seed will be required.
Many failures in seed are not due to
so much lack of vitality in the seed
as to the unfavorable condition of the
ground. Thorough preparation not
only saves seed, but lessens the work
of cultivation.
Age for Breeding.
There is not much gain in breeding
a heifer before she is eighteen months
old, but there is considerable risk.

After God had finished the rattle

j ha,d some awful substance left, with
which he made a knocker. A knocker
is a two-legged animal with a cork
screw soul, a water-sogged brain and
a combination backbone made of jelly
and glue. Where other people have
| their hearts he carries a tumor of rot
ten principles. When the knocker
comes down the street honest men
turn their hacks, the. angels in heaven
take precipitate refuge behind their
harps and the devil bar locks the gates
of hell;—Missouri Hrunswicker.

another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis
