Foreigners to Test an. American
Invention.
LONDON, Sept. 28.-In few days ex-
periments are to take place in Wales
with an American invention known as
''Snyder's Dynamite iProjectile." The
foreign Governments are interested in
the tests, and several of them will have
experts to watch the results. f. H. Sny-
der of New York conducted a series of
trials at Sandy Hook, and on the Potomac.
near Washington, several years ago.
Some time ago a private exhibition was
made before the shareholders. Snyder
says the guns used were a six-inch,
breech-loading naval rifle, and seven
inch muZZle-loading rifle. The highest
charges of powder were used, consisting
ofOne-third quick-burning black powder,
with two-thirds brown prismatic, which
gave shells charged with ten to fifteen
pounds of nitro-gelatine an initial veloc-
ity OF 5S5 metres per second. The charges
were so heavy that concrete foundations
nine feet in depth under the guns were
shattered. The shell, or projectile, is
adapted to any style of ordnance.

WEAVING COLTS.
Things That Should Be Known to In
sure Good Results

O"oCN~
Within the next four weeks the major
ity OF the colts Will be weaned The man
&gement of these young things at this
critical period will, to a great extent. de-
termlne the future value of the animal.
The young colt that is taken suddenly Off
q liquid diet such as nature furnishes it.
and put on dry grain feed-not allowed
even the privilege of a pasture-will cer-
talnly be checked in growth. Who has
not observed this condition of things? A
puny, pOtbeliied, long haired colt is sure
to be the result of this plan of colt man
agement. The feeder of young colts
should make the change from the
mothers milk as gradual as possible.
This may be accomplished safely by turn
ing the colt with the mare once a day
until she dries up, and in the meantime
give the colt quart Of cows milk fresh
every morning and evening. The milk
feed should be increased as the mothers
supply decreases and be kept up until the
colt is fully brought on to grain diet.
Oats and middlings or heavy quality of
bran is the best solid feed for the colt. AS
to quantity, that must be arranged with
the colt and feeder. The careful feeder
feed the colt requires. A colt should
have all it will eat up clean morning and
evening, and no more. A pasture lot
fenced securely for the colt is an indis-
pensable auxiliary.
The most successful colt-raisers ar
range to feed the mare ground feed and
oats for some time previous to weaving,
and by this means the colt learns to eat,
and is not suddenly thrown on a new life
when separated from its mother. 1t is a
rood plan to push the colt forward as
rcpidly as possible, give it plenty of ex-
ercise and all the good food it will con-
sumo, and make it horse at three years
old. OF course this three-year-old horse
will not be able to endure the fatigue and
constant heavy labor that the aged horse
can; but this does not argue against good
care and a rapid, healthy growth Of the
animal. The stunted three-year-o old is at
a greater disadvantage when he comes to
performing labor than the well-fed ami
NAL. The old idea that in order to grow
up a good, sound, durable horse it is
necessary to starve him half to death dur
ing his colthood, turn him out to rough it
through winter on hay, with nothing bet
ter than an open shed or hay-stack for
shelter, has exploded long ago with most
colt-raiserS.
Good care and rapid development is
getting the money out of stock. Give
your weanlings extra care. Keep a sup
ply of pure, fresh water where they can
go to it at will. Provide a salt box in
their shed or stable where they can help
themselves. Look well to the growth of
the colt, or the big money will not come
to you in this branch of the stock busi-
ness.-The Sporting World.
