WEAVING a Fo.1.

The weaving period is a critical one
with all kinds of animals. If a period
Of stagnation in growth occurs II is
pretty certain to occur then. Hence,
in the foal it is important, as with
other things, that he shall receive sufIi-
Gent care and attention at such a time
to keep him growing right on. It is
fortunate when the foal is weaned
that he has been already trained to
lead with the halter. 1t is also forum
ate when he has companionship, for
then he will not chafe and fret. as he
otherwise would when separated from
the dam. If placed in a box stall, the
walls should be so high that by no pos
sibility can the colt get over them.
Whether the weaving should be sud-
den or gradual will depend upon cir
cumstances. If the colt is weaned
while yet young. the weaving should
be gradual; but if the colt is well atl-
vanced and has learned to eat other
food we'll, the weaving should be alb
rupt, that is the foal should be taken
away and kept away from the maze
until the latter has dried up. Good
hay and 4 grain supplement should
then be given to the foal The grain
ration may be composed Of ground or
whole oats and bran, two parts ground
oats and one part bran. A little OIL
meal may also be beneficial. The
amount to feed will depend somewhat
on the size and age of the foal; but In
few days an ordinary foal can turn
to good account at least three quarts
of the mixture. and this may be profit
ably increased as time goes on or
course, every care should be taken To
supply water neutrality-suspicious.

she would never again go outside

Love, deputy collector of customs at
st. Vincent, Mimi, was removed from
Office Dec. 4, and as yet no appoint
ment has been made to succeed him.
AT the treasury department little in
formation as to the cause Of removal
could be gained. The question as to
whether charges had been preferred,
and, If SO, by whom, was evaded, and
the only satisfaction obtained was III
the somewhat ambiguous statement
that the removal was due to Loves
conduct" For long time rumors
have been current that the customs Of
fcials along the northern boundary
were, to say the least, careless in
watching for attempts IF smuggling
and ofe1ses against the customs laws,
and special agents of the treasury de-
partment have been over the ground
several times. If they have discovered
any thing more than carelessness on
the part Of the deputy collectors their
findings have not been made public.
1T has been ascertained that there ex-
lists along the line between Mime
sofa, North Dakota and Manitoba an
organized band Of men bent on evad-
ing the collection of duties, and that
owing to the shrewdness of their ope-
rations or the connivance of the Of
