REARING COLTS
NOW Small Farmers Can Increase Their
Income Without Much Work.

NOW Small Farmers Can Increase Their
Income Without Much Work.
We have vast number of small
farms in this country farms. sny Of
forty acres or thereabouts - which
hardly enables the owners to keep a
team. 1t takes large portion of the
product Of such a farm to keep a
team in good shape. However the
team must generally be kept, for it is
not ofIen that 1t is practicable to de.
pend upon others for team work
which must be done at tho proper
time. and when neighboring farmers
are busy with their own work. The
team on SO small place should do
something more for the farmer than
perform the little work that he has to
do. The way to do more with them
il to keep mares for the work team
and raise colts from them. Mares
that have but few days work to do
now and then. are abundantly able to
rear colts also.
To he sure. il the farmer on small
place raises colts. hc must raise less
Of some other kind Of stock. He has
snly about 50 much pasture and
meadow land at his disposal The oh.
ject In raising horses is to realize
more from the given amount of land
1t takes no more land to carry u colt
up to four years Of age than it does 10
carry a steer like length Of time and
prepare it for the market Tho colt
or horse ut that age Will bring fully
three times as much MS the steer.
The market for horses is good in
nearly all parts of the country.
LAUNDERING and mining operations
mako constant and heavy demands
1pon horse flesh. The rapid opening
mp Of agricultural regions, especially
in the West. furnishes constant and
profitable market. and will doubtless
continue SO to do for many years to
como.
Tho farmer who has full employ.
ment for his team may not always SO
his way clear 10 raise colts from he
work mares. but tho farmer with few
acres viii certainly find it to his adj

THE GLOVER CROP.


vasssss Ways y Whie:, II Bsoc0t,
1Arnsrs nd Their Lands.
In planning for tho planting and
seeding Of another spring. the benefit,
70 be derived from clover should moi
b overlooked This plant is not gen.
orally valued as it should be, eithe,
~ gosd food for stock or MS bone.
dcial crop for the land. There is a
prejudice against It in the minds Of
many who look upon 1t as coarse and
innutriticus compared with timothy
tor instance, and very much moro likely
to be spoiled in harvesting. As for tho
hrst-namcd objection. it should be
bornc in mind that stock will grow
rapidly on clover pasture. and as tho
plant contains tho same nutriment
when dry. il it has been secured with.
out damage. 1t is evident that it must
be q desirable winter food. The
two most valuable grasses arc
timothy and blue grass; com.
pared with these. clover has much
moro Of the nitrogcnous or flesh-form-
Ing elements. and for this reason is
especially valuable for young. grow
ing animals. Clover. also. has more
phosphoric acid and lime that are es.
sential for growing the bones. This
crop contains large amount Of those
elements that are lacking in straw,
and on this account is particularly
valuable to be led In combination with
this The straw from wheat, oats and
barley does not contain more than
three per cent Of albuminoids or flesh
formers. while clover contains about
eight per cent II fifty pounds Of clo-
yer and tho same weight Of straw are
mixed together. this will contain ten
per cent. of fesh.forming material
and he equal to timothy hay. Thus
twcnty-five tons of clover and the
same quantity Of straw mixed TO-
gether will have the same feeding
value as fifty tons Of timothy hay.
Vast quantities of straw are wasted
every year which might in this way
b. utilised for growing stock.
In addition to its value for feeding.
clover is one Of tho best crops for re-
storing the fertility OF the land. Its
roots penetrate deep, and thus bring
nonrishmcnt to tho surface that the
ordinary grasses do not reach. and as
they have been found to weigh three
thousand pounds to the acre when
dried. it will readily be seen what an
amount Of matter is left in the soil
when the pasture is plowed up. The
decay Of this adds largely to The fer.
tility of the soil. and on this account
clover is made use of on land that has
been rendered unproductive by con-
stant cropping.
The stock-raiser who wishes to Sc.
euro the most food possible from his
farm, and the grain farmer who finds
his land has grown less productive,
will alike DO benefited by seeding a
portion of their farms to clover. Nd

the FIRST kv.KLvx.

Where snd For what the Aessrwasd I.av.
loss Brsthsrheed Was Organised.
In the fall OF 1893 James r. Grove, now
aresidsnt Of Shsdieid, Ala, had returned
TO his home at Pulaski, Tenn, after three
years service In the Confederate army,
says writer In the Detroit Free Press.
Although not young man in Year,, hi
WAS full OF good.natured devil try and fond
Of adventure, and one day he said to ons
Of his friends,
Lets few Of us band together and
have secret society which will b. mys.
terry to the old folks"
1t was agreed to, and Mr.. Grove, r. O.
McCord. John G. Lester, Calvin Jones,
John Kennedy. l. l.. Shappard and r.
Reed met one evening In the law office OF
young jones' father, who was lawyer
and absent from town, and formed the
first Ku.Klux organization ever held in
this country.
1t was not then nams Cd, and the object,
as oil state, and as must be accepted as
the truth. was simply for mystery and
amusement. The ne cond meeting was held
on tho ground OF DR.. Carter, on hill out
sidethe town. A tornado had partially de-
molished the house and prostrated many
OF the csdars In the groves around 10,
making wild and lonely place, and Il
was ct night, and amidst these ruins, that
tho first candidates were initiated. The
name Ku.Klux was adopted from Greek
word, and the boys originated the form
OF initiation and the various grips
and passwords. The idea, as
stated, was fun and mystery, and
to carry this out every member was priv.
legged to disguise himself as he saw At.
Candidates were taken in one after an.
other, and finally . public parade was
held. This was the head and front Of an
organization which quickly spread over
the whole South. While the Pulaski or.
ganization never posted Q threatening
letter nor gave man warning, other or.
ganizations were formed with different
aim in view. Every member was dis.
guised, and each one surrounded himself
with as great . mystery as hs could, and
it was the awe which the public felt and
expressed that encouraged other organi.
Eations with other objects.
The close Of tho war had loft the South
full Of bad men, both white aud black.
Law was powerless to reach them, and It
was 10 grappie with this evil that the
Ku-Klux societies sprang into existence
all over that section. There were in.
stances where tho work was carried too
far, and where bad men banded together
to do evil, but the original object Of every
society which included the respectable
citizens Of the neighborhood, was solely
to protect the community. And
that object was accomplished by
the earlier organizations more thor
ough'y than history has ever stated.
Lawless characters who wers preying on
the people, and who cared nothing for
law or life, were driven OF Or frightened
into reform by the Ku-k.ux. In time the
organizations were made use of to crafty
personal spites, and this led to great
abuses, which were never contemplated
by the originators OF the order. There
was no thought of politics or correction in
the first society, and as soon as Mr. Grove
and his friends saw how tho organiza.
tions were spriEsing into life, and the
bad use bong made Of their power, they
withdrew from it entirely.
