TRAINING THE COLTS.
WelI-knOwn Western breeder Ad-
vocates Adoption of n Sort OF
Kindergarten system.

DIR. Curryer, of Minnesota, is one Of
the soundest authorities in the west
on practical horse breeding. In re-
cent talk he said he was believer in
something Of the nature of kinder
garten for young colts. He liked to
begin the education of the colt when
not more than day old.
First catch the colt and hold him by
putting one arm in front and one back
of him. The pivotal point of action is
the center of the body; fasten him in
front and he tries to go backward.
Fasten him at the rear and he tries
10 90 forward. We should understand
this law, which is part Of the nature
of the colt when we try to govern him.
You can easily hold the colt if you
place one arm under the neck and the
other under the ham. Handle the colt
first on one side, then on the other,
and give him a lump of sugar. He may
not eat it at first, but pass il around
his mouth and he will soon learn to
like it,
You have now shown the colt your
power over him, and that you DO not
wish TO hurt him. Next give him a
lesson in the use of the halter. If you
put the halter on him and pull he goes
back. TO counteract this. place a
strap around his body just in front Of
his hind legs. Attach a rope to- this
and run it through a ring in the halter.
When the colt goes back, pull him up
to you, then give him some sugar.
When you are able TO handle the
colt we'll with the halter, give him
some lessons in driving. Let the old
horse teach the colts their first lesson.
and TO do this 1 take n pair of old
carriage wheels on an axle. To these
are clipped two wooden bars, Il feet
long. about two feet from the ends;
the longest ends, extending in front,
make the thills for the old horse. A
eros sbar is placed just in front Of the
wheels, extending out far enough to
hitch the colts on either side of the
old horse. The colts are hitched TO
light bars placed in front Of the horse,
with ropes arranged at the sides 10
keep the colts in place. They soon
learn from the old horse what 10 do,
and they get used TO hearing the
wheels roll behind them, so that they
are not afraid when hitched TO a
wagon.

CHAFFING TABOOED.
Council of Illinois Town Decide That
Nicknaming and "Guying"
Must Cease.

NiclSnaming at Westfield. H., must
mined, and has passed an ordinance
making such offense punishable by a
fine of So to 500, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Westfeld is n college town, and her
people can read Greek and Latin; they
know philosophy and are able TO call
the stars by name, but at the same
time they understand the art of manu-
featuring and bestowing a nickname
that has some real significance. Street
"guying" is also a favorite pastime of
the street loafer, and many country
swain who brings the lady of his
hearts desire TO town on Sunday to re-
4. fresh her with soda water and choco-
lates has learned 10 his sorrow that
the course Of true love never did run
smooth" SO obnoxious has this state
of affairs become that at the last
meeting of the city council Alderman
Hemphill introduced an ordinance the
substance of which is MS follows:
"Be it ordained that any person who
disturbs any inhabitant of the village
of Westfield by the use of annoying
nicknames, ieering, guying, traducing
or defaming, upon arrest and convic-
tion of such parties they shall be
fined no less than S. nor TO exceed
$780,"
1t is generally understood that this
ordinance is not intended TO prohibit
the use of endearing or pet names, but
many of the nicllnames now in vogue
will cease to be part of the city's vo-
cabulary. The law promises to bring
about a reformation.
The people of Westfeld looked upon
the ordinance as sort of joke at
first, but the authorities declared their
purpose to carry out the law a serious
one, and now all await the initial test
case with great interest. 1t is not
unlikely that the matter will finally
reach the higher courts.
There has been striking diminu-
ton in the use of niclInames and in
the habit of chatting since the ordi-
nance was passed.

BURRow, SHOWING NEST.

occasion requires. During the warm
months the birds feed chiefly on in
sects, but at other times on small
animals--a rabbit, snake, or some
times young prairie dog. On the
other hand, the dogs sometimes enter
the burrows that are occupied by the
owls in nesting season and help
themselves to the eggs while the owl
is away; but woe to the dog that goes
in when Mother Owl is on the nest!
She is abundantly able to protect
herself from the attacks of the dog,
though sometimes an owl is killed by
polecat or weasel.
Rattlesnakes sometimes occupy a
few of the burrows, but not upon
friendly terms. The popular stories
regarding the partnership and coop

any prairie dog town. The usual
note of the owl is a gentle poo-oo
sometimes like the COO Of a dove.
The owls are about ten inches long

white, of pretty appearance. They
have the very curious habit, when
they alight on the ground, of bow.

ner, as nearly like n person as could
be expected of a bird. When dis
turbed or angry they will bow ex-
citedly or circle about the heads of
the intruders, uttering all the time
weird whistling cries.
The eggs are deposited at the end
of the burrows and lie upon the dirt,
bones and fur which the owls have
left from their feeding. The eggs
are pure white, not so round as most
owls eggs, and there are more Of
them than is usual for owls-as many
as nine in one nest.
Sometimes the baby owls are
brought up from the nest for a sun
bath, and they sit in circle around
the edge Of the hole, looking like lit
tie putTs Of white cotton. The full
grown birds mingle freely with the
dogs, not occupying any particular
burrow except when nesting, but

one or two poles Of different lengths
and two short straps with which TO
unite them.
This device will reach a swarm 30
feet from the ground. The great fea-
ture Of it is its lightness, and no ma
ter at what angle the pole is held the
bag is always perpendicular. To hive
a swarm whose queen is at large with
the bees, bring the swarm catcher
right up under the cluster and give
it a sharp jerk upwards and the clus-
ter will drop from the limb right into
the mouth of the catcher. Carry to the
hive and turn the bag inside out and
the bees will drop in front Of the hive
and run into it.-Orange Judd Farmer.

GOOD STRONG QUEEN.
The Importance of Having One In
Every Colony Can scarcely lie
Overestimated.

When the beekeeper finds that in
the same apiary, and perhaps side by
side, he has TWO colonies, one of
which produces less than half
as much as the average of the
whole, and the other double the
average, or four times as much as the
first, he cannot help but think that
one must have a very poor queen, who
produced but little brood, and the
other a prolific queen, with vigor
enough to give an active working col
ony. We are not sure but that some
bees are like some men, born tired"
by reason of lack of strength and
vitality in their parents, says the Mas
sachusetts Plowman.
But whatever the cause, there are
few beekeepers who have not had as
much or more difference as this in
colonies in the same apiary, and we
know of but one remedy. Destroy
the queen Of the poor colony and all
queen cells found in il, and give a new
queen or a queen cell with egg or lar
va in it from better colony. Then
destroy every drone comb in such
hives, that the queen may not mate
with them, for they probably have
the same faults as their inheritance
as the other bees, and the power to
transmit it as well as the queen. No
matter if you know that the colony
was weakened by neglect TO keep
warm last winter or by being short
of stores. If the queen does not rap
idly remedy the trouble by rearing a
new and large brood when the bees
are well fed, follow the same plan. If
the condition of such colony is
learned in the spring, the better way
is TO break il up, and give the bees
to other colonies, where they may
work out the short term Of their ex-
istence.
AS wars said at the beekeepers' con-
vention at Ontario last winter, TO be
good honey producers the colony
must be Industrious, numerous, Of the
right age at the right time, long lived
and long tongued. This depends upon
the queen to very large extent,
while we do not know to what extent
it depends upon the queen that was
the parent of the drone she met in
her fight. When all are good queens
there will be no drones but Of good
blood, ard beekeepers are beginning
to consider this; so that we may ex-
pect by and by to see advertised
young queens for sale from a colony
that has established a record, with a
statement also Of the record Of the
whole apiary.

Kimberley After the Siege.

A city relieved after siege is a
queer place. Julian Ralph, in IAN
American with Lord Roberts," says
that there never were so few horses
in the streets of any modern town as
were TO be seen in Kimberley, when
its four tragic IN n rs were over. Of
course there were no horses; the peo-
pie had eaten them. The dogs con-
sisted of bones, with a tongue hang
ing out. They looked like frames Of
dogs in process of construction.
The shops were open but the clerks
had grown TO be as automatic as
cuckoo-clocks. Instead of saying:
Cuckoo! cuckoo!" they kept on re-
marking: "All out, ma'am! All out,
sir!" in reference to the necessaries
of life.
