Don't Scare the Colts.

In utterlng this Injunction we mean
far more than merely to avoid frightening
the colts lest they run against the fence
and hurt themselves. We mean far
more, also, than merely to avoid making
them wild and timid, although both of
these dangers are imminent, and Justify
careful avoidance. In all animal life
the inherited habits of action may be
greatly neutralized or greatly strength
ened by cultivation. This cultivation
begins when the foal stands up and
sucks, and when it is six weeks old the
education may be somewhat regular
and methodical. If you are breeding
running horses, encourage the colt to
extend himself at a gallop, for that is
what you want him to do in the future
but if you are breeding trotters, encour
age the colt to extend himself at a trot.
for that is what you want him to do in
the future-rear him, if you can, with
out ever Knowing that there is such a
gait as the gallop. ,,i,.- ~ 80
Ii you have a young hound dog that
you intend specially for the pursuit of
the fox, you will not allow him to strike
out on every rabbit trail he may come
across: If you indulge him once he is
so much harder to restrain next time.
and if you let him have his own sweet
will in chasing all the little ground game
in the neighborhood, he will be of no use
as fox dog. The dog had the inherit
ance and he would have been all right if
he had not been ruined in his education.
So it is with the trotting-bred colts il
the field. Every time you scare up one
and make him gallop, ut is the dog off
on a rabbit trail. You have injured the
colt in driving him out Of the gait for
which he was bred, andrto which his in
stincts led him to adhere. In the end
we viii reach the colt that will not know
how to gallop; but as a means to that
end we must stop making the colts do
the very thing we don't want them to do.

The Gem City Of Central Asia.

Inc position occupied by Herat,"
says Madison, 60 on the high road be-
tween India and Persia, the center spot
OF an extensive and fertile valley, well
watered by channels from a perennial
stream, marks her out as the natural
garden and granary of Central ASIA
~ Is situated on plain about $500 feet
above the sea, and is fortified with mud
walls, presenting the form of square,
each side of which is under a mile in
length. The streets are i'll built, mar
row and dirty; indeed, the common say
ing OF the place is, If dirt were to
XIII, where would we be?'' "Onlv man
Is vlle'' at Herat, however, for nature
mas done everything for the city and its
enVlrons. The climate is the finest in
ASIA; only two months of the twelve are
not, and even then the mercury rarely
rises above eighty-tive degrees in the
shade. The nights are always cool,
often cold. The Heratis have a proverb,
II the soil of Ispahan. the cool breezes
OF Herat and the waters of Khwarzin
We're in the same place there would be
no such thing as DEATH" The waters
OF the Herr, Connolly described in 1881
as the best he ever tasted, and the fruits
as the most delicious in flavor. People
enter the gardens and eat at will, being
weighed as they pass in and out, and
charged for the avoirdupois gained; a
simple system which that sane wag,
Nasir Eddin, once defied by filling his
pockets with pebbles and casting out
ballast as he took in lading, SO as to
bring the astonished proprietor into his
| debt. The soil is extraordinarily fertile,
and the orchards, gardens, corn-fields
and vineyards stretch to the mountains,
four miles away on the north and twelve
on the south, and along the valley as
far as the eye can reach. There are ex-
tensive mines of iron and lead, only
worked at the surface, and the cimetars
of Herat are as famous in Central Asia
as its horses. Silk is spun there largely,
and carpets of wool and silk are manu-
featured. The other articles of export
are mamma, assaf9tida, gum, saffron
and pistachio nuts. Half century ago
it paid an annual revenue of $3.50, 900,
and Malleson declares that under British
rule the income to the Government
| from the district would suffice to pay
the expenses of garrisoning the chief
cities of Afghanistan. Foster, who
visited Herat in 1888, described the city
as far surprising Candahar in the extent
of its markets and the volume of it's
trade. Christie, who spent a month
there in disguise in 1910, is as loud as
Connolly in his praise of its delightful
situation, brisk business and phenomenal
fertility. He placed the population al
100000. Conolly's estimate was 10000
and the present number of inhabitants
is believed to be something under 49,
600, though the encyclopedias call il
"about $4,000"

Fattening an Old Cow in Milk.

FATTENING an old COW is general
ly a slow and sometimes an I'M
profitable process, unless she gives milk
enough meanwhile to pay for the extra
feed A writer in the National LiUe
Stock Journal, who has made good beef
OF COWS at sixteen to nineteen years of
age, causing them to weigh 100 to 250
pounds more than at any period during
their younger life, thus describes his
process, which he has, without excep-
ton, found satisfactory, the animal al
ways little more than paying at the
pail for all feed consumed, and '.some-
times good deal more:"'
If the old COW is quite thin and
skinny, as she is very likely to be, she
should not be piled strongly with corn
meal on the start. This is apt to make
her feverish and to induce state op-
posed to thrifty fattening; besides, this
feverish state will render her milk
gargety. Give her slightly loosening
and cooling food at first, such as pump
kins, potatoes, sweet apples, succulent
rowen grass, one or two pounds of oil
meal, cheap molasses and clover hay,
or, better. green clover; and with any
OF these may be given on the start one
or two quarts of cornmeal per day.
The food must be gradually in
creased. A pint to three pints
of cheap molasses, diluted with
three parts of water. and mixed with
one half bushel of cut clover hay, will
keep the stomach and bowels in excel
lent condition when beginning the
+ cornmeal. And all these foods will
make prime milk. Another food that
will be found successful, and in many
places cheap, is one bushel of tlaxseed
ground with fifteen bushels of corn.
This flaxseed will render the cornmeal
Just laxative enough for health and the
tlaxseed is worth, as a food, all it usual
~ costs. Cottonseed meal may also be
fed to advantage up to three pounds
per day. Linseed meal, made by the
new process, is excellent to feed with
cornmeal, as it has large proportion
OF nitrogen and thus balances the corn
meal; but two pounds per day is sufii-
cient OF this. The principal grain food
NAV properly be cornmeal, which is
usually cheaper for fattening than any
other grain. Bran and cornmeal go
well together for feeding an old COW,
and after the COW gets accustomed to
the use of the grain you may feed her
six quarts of bran and six quarts of
cornmeal in three feeds per day. 1t is
always better to begin feeding her on
pasture, beginning the use of grain
Lightly, as mentioned and increasing,
little by little up to her capacity If
the cow be young that you desire to get
rid of because she is too small mixer,
you may be surprised at the sudden i'm
provemcnt in milk when you try fatten-
ing her on the plan suggested. Many |
dairymen do not know the capacity of
their COWS to give milk, because they
have never fairly tested it by full feed
ing.'--M Y. Tribune.

The Venetian G0ndOIier.

A Venetian gondolier descends gener-
ally from long line of ancestors, vino
were for centuries boatmen. A gondola
costs about 5000. The father lays by
week after week small sum in order to
buy his son one, and thus start him in
life. The gondola costs about $50 per
annum in repairs. The owner pays a
tax to the municipality, according to the
station to which he is allotted, and he is
obliged to be there not only every day,
but every third night. During the
summer months he gains a dollar per
diem; in winter almost nothing. When
the gondolier goes home he has to cook
and engage in other domestic avocations
for his family. His wife, dressed in rags,
with her hair in disorder. and pair of
old slippers on her feet, sits on her door
step looking to her husband to find her
in polenta, and to cook it for her when
earned. The food of the family, when
they have food, consists of polenta and
handful of small fish, SO small, indeed,
that nothing remains of them except
bones and skin when dried. On feast
days, if the gondolier has been fortunate,
they eat little rice. This, however, is
an exceptional luxury, for rice is dearer
than polenta. And yet these men are
able to row without any apparent effort
for many hours every day. They are
well set, strong, and muscular, and their
unkempt wives seem to be In the ruddiest
of health. Physically, Intellectually,
and morally, they compare advantage
ously with the descendants of the Doges.

Story With a Comment.

The following advertisement recently
appeared in a Philadelphia paper !:
"Wanted-A boy about seventeen years
old to run a steam engine. No men
need apply" The reflections which
this advertisement suggests are not
agreeable. In commenting upon it,
the Philadelphia Record asserts that a
large number of boilers in that city are
left wholly, or in part, to the care of
boys, and that, "although the Depart
ment of Boiler Inspection is empowered
to examine such applicants as may pre-
sent themselves, and to certify to their
abilities, it cannot compel a single
steam-user to replace an incompetent
man with one skilled in his duties"
Certainly the position of an engineer is
not one for which boy is as well quail
fled as a man. A boy cannot be expect
ed to maintain the persistent careful
ness which experience makes q second
nature. 1t is totally foreign to his age
and habits; and, knowing that, the man
who employs him to run steam engine
because he is cheaper ought to be held
personally responsible for his mistakes.
