The Colts First Winter.

After colts are weaned they should
be given very good care through the
hrst winter. If neglected, and their
growth allowed to become stunted. it
will be very difficult to make up for it
afterward, even with the best of care.
Colts should always be kept in box
stalls, as they viii become weak Joint
ed If they have to stand much tied up
IN stall while growing, without get
ting necessary amount of exercise.
Keep stall well lighted in winter.
Feed good fresh hay, free from dust.
For grain. feed oats three times a
day. Oats are the best grain for
horses. But let the morning feed
consist of equal parts of oats and
bran, made into a mash by scalding
with hot water and let 1t stand un-
al cool before feeding. If two pounds
OF roots can bo given daily. sliced

SCIENCE IN FARMING.
m Has Helped to Make Vast Tract.
Of Worthless Soil verftahIe
Garden Spots,

Science is the best ally of agrieul-
ture, as has been frequently demon
Strated. A case in point is an exam
anaton into the cause of unprodnctiye-
ness IN some of the so-called "black
soils of Indiana. In central and
northern Indiana there are black
humus soils known as bogus" In a
good many cases these were found in
places that had formerly been the
beds of ponds or else were once
marshes nearly always covered with
water. The water disappeared long
ago, leaving the land in a condition
Hhat made it possible to work it II
was asserted by the unskilled and pop
uterly believed that these lands con
tanned alkali to a degree that made i
impossible to grow upon them any
KIND Of crop. Scientists went to ssaork
TO ascertain the real facts. A chem
seal analysis was made and showed
fhat the soil had none of the charac-
ter1stics Of alkali soil. Some of the
land was plowed and mixed with
kainit and cut straw. This certainly
improved the drainage, and crops be-
gan to grow. In short, it was found
mat drainage was the key to the stu
alton. Further investigation and ex-
pertinent demonstrated that If a sys-
sem of drainage were put in to tap the
'water-bearing gravel underlying the
Thumus soil and TO lower the water
level to at least 40 inches the cause
OF the appropriateness would be re-
moved and permanent improvement
would result.
Thus the real difficulty was found
70 be the high permanent water level.
In some of the soils examined tile had
been laid at the usual depth in the
'humus layer of soil without any I'm
Provement resulting, due to the factv
sshat the pores and joints OF the tile
had been closed by the muck. Under
lying the humus layer at a depth of
nVs feet or more was bed Of sand or
gravel Immediately OVERLAND by a thin
bed OF clay mud and carrying a strong
now OF water. When holes were dug
'aown to this layer the water usually
rose to within at least 80 inches of the
surface. 1t is very easy then to see
ehat IL the permanent water level
was so high the level during wet ne
T1ods must be so high as TO render the
growth OF most plants very difficult.
when we remember that most plants
root deeply we can easily see how i'm
Portant is the question of wat ter level.
