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. THE COCHRAN JOURNAL, COCHRAN, GEORGIA.
