corn on my farm every year, and l re

as the corn. As soon as the ears are well
glazed the corn is cut close to the ground

near the barn and shocked. use what
is called a corn horse for shocking-a
pole from the woods, some sixteen feet
long, and through the butt bore two
holes and insert legs, raising this end
about four feet from the ground. Then
bore q hole horizontally three or four
feet from this end large enough to insert
an old hoe or rake handle, and it is ready
for use. Set the corn in the four corners
made by the pole and this stick and
build on the desired size.
Tie the top, pull out the stick and
draw the corn horse out far enough to
commence another shock. One man will
set up corn rapidly in this way. l usu
ally make three shocks from two cart
loads and have no difficulty in curing.
AS soon as the corn is cured sufficiently
it is shucked out, leaving shucks on
stalk and the stalks are stacked and left
to be cut by power as wanted during the
winter. | use a cutter with masticatOr,

Things That Are Told.

vorably in regard to the use of cloth as a
covering for cold frames; he finds less
danger Of sunburning and of too great
an accumulation Of heat than with glass.
Moro protection, however, is needed at
oight. Cloth sash has proven especially
valuable for beds of recently transplant
ed plants, as the intensity Of light and
evaporation are less than where glass is
used.

greatly superior to both black German
wax and the golden wax bean that he is

WEAVING FoALs.

flied by an application Of wood ashes.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-10-15

seriously injured by careless or improper
treatment.
Practice varies IS to the age at which
foals are weaned. In the majority of
cases they are weaned when from four
to six months old. 1t not unfrequently
happens, however, that circumstances
render it desirable to withdraw the foal
from the mother at an earlier age. Even
at the age of two or three weeks foals
may be weaned, and although there is
nothing to equal the mothers milk as
start to the young animal in life, yet by
care foals may be reared by the hand.
In the case of the death of the mother
this hand rearing has often to be re-
sorted to, and others again withdraw the
foaI at an early age so as to get full use
of the mare at farm or other work.
One important principle to bear in
mind in weaving foals is that the change
should be introduced gradually In
feeding all kinds of animals sudden
changes are undesirable - sometimes
even dangerous. Some time before &C
tual weaving foals should be trained to
eat other food, such as bruised oats,
beans and bran. Withdraw the foal
from the mother for two or three hours,
and give it one small feed daily of some
such food as these, and then lengthen
the intervals between the times of adj
hitting the foal to the mare, and in
crease the allowance of other food. Let
the foal have admission to the mare
twice daily for few days, and if the
foal should take kindly to the other food,
and if the mare is not likely to suffer
from excessive flow of milk, then the
weaving process may be completed with
little delay.
1t is desirable in weaving to keep the
mare and foal not only out of sight hut
also beyond the hearing of each other
Feed the foal frequently, and with small
allowances at time, in addition to what
it may pick up on the pasture. 1t may
have mash, made up of bruised oats,
beans and bran, with, perhaps, the addi-
ton of some boiled linseed. The mare,
not less than the colt, needs attention at
this time. When the weaving begins do
not let the udder be at any time COM
pletely emptied. If the flow of milk is
considerable, draw away a little milk by
the hand now and again, but not more
frequently than seems really necessary.
By spare allowance of dry food, and
by little extra work, the flow of milk
will be diminished. A moderate dose of
physic will also help, but only in ex-
IRENE cases is this necessary.

A pit eight inches deep and three and
