Training Colts.

T. S. Ingarsoil, Berea, Ohio, practical
man. now more than eighty years of age, but
who has broken many colts, writes as follows
Colts are taught IN the first place, while
l am their friend, must be their master, and
they must obey The lesson is something
hard for them to lean, especially as used to
break colts IN former years when a young
man. Then If the colt did not come " ri gh T

ings. exercising no reason or good Judgment,
which are the most necessary attributes of
character to be called into question by the
trainer of colts. Thes, two talents, together
with patience, | have ade use of in my later
years in training colts, till l think | have
them in pretty good use when required.
Many friends often say TO me, "4ou are TOO
old 10 break colts. Why, man near eighty
years of age 20 think of breaking such wild
cclts it seems quite absurd you'll get killed
by them by and-by.
My reply has been, l am better qualified
to break colts, as you term it, than when
was young. 1t is not half the work now that
1t was forty years ago l don't break my
colts now, | train them ; don't like the

TIGHT BARNs.-l have noticed lately that
some OF your correspondents have again
brought up the subject of tight barns, con-
tendiDg that hay will keep better, and as |
| understand them to say, would dry better in
the barn than in the stack. However the
fac,s or theories IN the case may be, it IS GER
tain that the opinion Of most farmers is
against all the
Some farmers put their early ca hay,
which is supposed to contain more sap than
that which IS cut later. the scaffJld side Of
the barn. And | think farmers generally,
pus their greenest hay On the scafolds or lofts
rather than into bays which ere generally
much wider and deeper. SC N the season Of
haying, barns are lett more open fer the
dvaught of ar than at any other OF
IN year.
[ have put sweet hay into the tight nicely
built stables in the village, where there was
no ventilation, and In a few weeks the outside

other villagers that hal 'isht barns say, that
they did not bug hay out Of the fields because
they had found thas it would net keep in
their barns.
We universally find thai corn barns are
made very open, and the crib narrow, for the
circulation OF air | think that both hay and
corn barns should have ventilation at the top
as we'll near the bottom.
Hay from the salt marsh Is usl1lly stacktu
out; and many time | have heard farmers
say their hay was not dry enough to put in
TO the barn so they would stack it. Hay in
the stack will dry better BY being raised up
from he ground, TO secure d draught OF air
underneath. Many ever ~ SO far as to build
the stack hollow that Is they ill bag

and as they proceed draw the bag Up until
nearly finished when some small sticks are laid
over that hole al. er the bag Is drawn cut, and
a little more hay is pitched on, and the TOP

been found to work admirably where hay

The Leicester Sheen.

We often zee sheep that are popularity called
Leicester or Bakewelis, as if there were any
such thing in the State. L. is rare, however,
that We see what might be termed "a true
Leicester. The breed has lot been 30 care
fully kept up - could be wished, and even in
England there are comparatively few docks
that are true to the type which Blackwell. fixed,
few probably, which do not exhibit mora
size than he would have put on if he could
have done IL.
The Bak. wells or LeIcessere, which we
commonly see, are nearly as large as the
Cotswold cross. The true Leicesters, are, as q
bred, much smaller. This is clearly shown
in the experiments undertaken not long since
by Mr.. J. b Lawes, at Rothamsted, in Eng
land, to test the fattening qualities Of the diff
ferent breeds as compared with each other.
Fifty Westhers, about nine months old, were
selected by prominent breeders of each Of the
breeds which it was proposed to test, al taken
without regard TO cost, and as representative
of the breeds from which they were selected

Butter Making.

Mr.. EDITOR IL see the so-called 6" Russian
method " OK making butter in the fall. very
highly recommended IL general terms. Please
permit me to 50 have my ssy upon the sub

The question is to secure the greatest guam

highly important in the milk room and but

PRAIRIE PASTURES Every years expert
ence is IN radictlng the general conceived
idea that prairie land is not well adapted to
the production of the tame grasses. E-pe-
cially is this true of the older grazing portions
of Central Illinois 10 recent conversation
with an extensive stock grower of Logan
county d former resident Of the renowned
blue grass region of Kentucky, he affirmed
that he could keep more stock on an acre OF
blue grass pasture upon his present farm than
upon any equal amount OF land he had ever
seen bef're. Ii is also fact, we believe, that
the older tie pasture becomes, if properly
treated, the better the yield of grasses. Blue
grass and white cover seem to come into our
pasturs spontaneously. together with pro-
portion of other varieties that keep up sue
cession of feed. There are soma soils o!
course, here md elsewhere, that do not /" get y
we'll to grass.-Prarie Farmer

BARoMETERs.-In connection with the un

Now look at the average weight o


the lots which were az follows:
SO Cotswold sheep averaged each 1l9 lbs l3 OF.
so Hampshire Down, Sc Sc =. l13ts TO
so Leicester 8 $ - lOl -
50 South Down Sc g. g IS -
From this, it appears that the true Leices-
ter is rather small breed Of sheep, not 50
large as either the Cotswold or the Hamp-
shire Down. and ranging between the latter
and South Down.
The sheep that We see entered at our fairs
may be better than the true Leicesters. In
size, e. any rate, they seem to rival The Cots
wolds, but this does not make them any the
more true specimens Leicesters. They have
departed from the type established by tie
celebrated Blackwell, and are DO longer to be
called Bakewells, or Leicesters, but a made
up breed.
We have nothing 20 say against this very
useful class of sheep, indeed, We consider it
very excellent in many respects. and only
want to see things called by their right
names-Ploughman :
