There is no necessity to wean a
colt. AS soon as the mares milk de-
creases in quantity. which it will do
gradually, the colt will wean itself. 1t
is best to feed the mare we'll and keep
up the flow of milk as long as possible
for the benefit of the colt. -Albany

Weeds should be destroyed when
young even upon the most fertile soil.
for the reason that they deprive the soil
and rob the crop Of needed moisture.
There may be enough fertility for two
plants. but there is not water enough.
anG that is the principal reason why a
crop thrives better .y:;h more space
than n thickly planted. The guam
titv of water needed for a cabbage ia
perfect its growth is enormous; a
thistle requires almost as much. and
the more robust weed will get the
largest share from the soil, and SO stunt
the cabbage. Therefore, the soil must
be kept free from weeds.-1Toy Times.
