Breaking q Colt.

A writer who claims to know what
he is talking bout, gives the follow
ing directions for leading a colt along
side of q cart: "Put halter on the
colt and halter-bre it, Harness a
gentle horse in cart. Procure a.
slender stick like broom handle (the
sprout of willow, locust or elm is as
good) about four and a-half feet long:
use it as a jockey stick. Fasten one
end with thong OF buckskin to the
colt 8 halter at the chin. Make the
other end fast to the center of the
breast plate of the harness. Then
fasten a long strap or cord to the hal
ter at the chin, and then tie the end
so that it will hold the colt back about
abreast OF the horse. The jockey stick
will hold the colt off from the horse
about four feet. The strap will h old
him from going in front. Start the
horse off in a walk. If the colt fails
to come up to place touch him up with
a whip. In five minutes the colt will
trot alongside of the horse, more or
less agreeable to you as he is we'll or
otherwise broken to halter or as he
likes the company of the horse. You
Can turn either way without danger.

Mulching in Winter.
Mulching OF trees is usually not
thought of until it is found that
drought is injuring them. BY this
time, of course, the soil has become
thoroughly dried, and as the mulch
itself will absorb light rains, it may
absolutely do little good during the
remainder OF the growing season.
The very best time to apply mulch is
in the winter while the soil is frozen.
The ground is then full of moisture
and the mulch prevents its evapora-
ration. In winter it has also several
other good effects, especially around
bearing fruit trees The mulch, by
preventing the soil from thawing
out quickly, keeps back fruit
buds that might in some places put
out and be destroyed by late frosts. 1t
also helps to prevent too deep freez-
ing of the soil, which in dry land
sometimes kills otherwise hardy trees
There are fewer objections to a mulch
in winter than in summer. During
the growing season continuous mulch
ing keeps the soil near the surface so
moist that it encourages the tree roots
to form near the surface. So, if mulch
ing is done in summer, it must be
kept up during the win ter, in order
that these surface roots be not frozen
dry and killed.

Irregularity in Feeding.

Jersey Bulletin: Irregularity in
feeding is much more hurtful to COWS
than most men are aware. Cows are
much more completely creatures of
habit than men, yet all men know
when meal time comes, how the ap-
petite wakes up and what a feeling of
discomfort it is to be disappointed.
Cows have nothing to do but digest
their food and elaborate milk. They
have nothing else to think about.
Hence all the more are they disap-
pointed and disturbed if, when feeding
times comes, the food is not ready.
AS irregularity in meals will soon be-
get indigestion in men, so it will in
COWS. Loss of appetite in COW means
disturbed digestion, interrupted milk
flow and lowered powers Of milk Sc
erection. Irregularity in feeding, either
as to time or quantity, is sure to i'm
pair the appetite and bring all the at
tendant ills of indigestion.

Ignorance in Dairyinr.

National Stockman: In no business

know the right degree of temperature
for the cream we may either waste
many hours at the crank or else have
the butter come too soon, with flavor
and texture ruined. If we don't know
how to feed our COWS we may be vast
ing feed every day; we may be dairy
ing with the wrong breed, and so on
through the whole business, if we do
not have the knowledge we are always
in the way OF making heavy losses.
In the present state Of dairy science it
is inexcusable for anyone to go blind]y
about his work when he, by a little
reading and study, can be as fully in
formed on every dairy subject as the

Keeping Breeding Stock.

Breeding hogs, especially, should
not be allowed to get fat. A good de-
velopment of bone and muscle is far
more important than an accumulation
of f at.
The kind of food that is supplied
makes a considerable difference in
this, and then in ad dition a good pas
ture should be supplied where they
can have a good range. This affords
them a good opportunity 10 take exer-
else. Some animals seem more in elm
ed to lay on fat than others, and while
this is no fault with fattening hogs,
care must be taken to keep from get
ting too fat With breeding hogs,
both with the sire and dam, a good
thrifty condition is all that is neces-
sary and the nearer they can be kept

What is ScrOfuIa

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
1ating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, nose, often
causing blindness deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors"
1T is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
1T is the most general of all diseases affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it,
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequa1led and some Of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla a trial.
