TREATMENT OF COLTS.
How 10 Take Care of Them During Their
First Year of ExistenCe.

How 10 Take Care of Them During Their
First Year of Existence.
The first and most essential point in
raising good horses is to see that when
the mare has foaled the colt has a
sufficient quantity of proper nourish-
ishment to insure rapid growth. The
food should consist mainly OF the
nourishment afforded by its dam for at
least four weeks; then ii should be
taught to eat some oats which have
been previously soaked for at least
five hours, being careful not to give
too much; first give about half a pint
and then increase the quantity as the
colt gets older. Tho colt should run
with its damin the pasture, when 1t
will not require so much feed as oats;
but when the mare is required to work
the colt should be put up in the stable
and fed Il little oats and "A little cut
| grass, and it will thrive better, and it
will be better for the mare, than if the
colt is allowed TO follow the pillow,
harrow or mower, which might injuro
it; but during the nights it should be
turned out with the mare on grass, as
a colt needs, the first year of It's
growth. all the exercise it a get to
develop its legs and form and tougher
its hoofs, as well as the other parts OF
its body.
In localities where for the greater
part OF the year the weather is wet
and the soil rather spongy, the hoofs
should be paired off at the points in
order that the lower and upper mus
cles OF the legs may be properly de-
veloped.
The training Of a colt is one OF the
chief things in making a valuable
horse. The colt should be taught to
lead and drive single when or before
il is six months old, For ''brcaking,"
training" ought to be substituted;
but If one does not teach a colt how to
work, lead and be dutiful while it is a
colt, il will certainly need "breaking'
later on. Training colts when they
are colts enhances their value one-hali
or more. Feed colts and teach them al
the same time, and do it when they are
young. and when they grow up they
will regard you as their master.-Cor

A GORlLLA'S BRIDE.


Aflih ''l stlN'INhlF VI hh '
Woman in the Congo Regions.
"Thc natives of Africa are towards
in war;" said Carl Stcckleman, the ex.
plorcr. They prefer to take prison
ers, and comparatively few Of their
enemies are killed outright. They
are afraid to strike for fear they will
receive a more damaging blow in re-
turn. They make slaves OF their pris
oncrs, and the captiyes have a sorry
time.
"Of all enemies they dread the 60
rilla most. And he is a foe that no
mrn dare dcspiSc. He will fight AT
sight. Numbers do not deter him.
He is so human and so desperate in
his defense and attack that the Afri-
cans have long learned that TO fight
with a gorilla is to fight to the death.
This dreadful animal keeps to the
woods as it is necessary for him to
grasp hold Of the boughs as he walks
on his hind legs. A man is therefore
comparatively safe if he is on The
prairie.
There are some extraordinary
things told Of the gorilla, ! will re.
late one OF them, ! had always heard
it said that the male gorilla would not
harm Il woman. This is the common
belief in some tribes. One day we
came to a village in which one hut
had been built apart from the rest.
We inquired for the reason Of this and
found that II had been dedicated to q
witch. This witch was greatly re-
yercd. She had been the wife Of .
gorilla. The woman had lived in the
village in n house which stood on tn,
edge Of the forest. A great tree over
hung her shanty. In the village al
the trees had been cut down as I
p|rccaution against the gorillas. One
night ono Of these animals came out o
the forest, got up into the big tree
which oycrhuIg the woman's house

the woman with him. His grea
strength made this an easy thing 70

and with his two hind legs and his on

woman was gone for many days. III
people saw that her house roof ha

around the house aud saw that Their
