TRAINING THE COLTS.
WeII-KnOvvn western Breeder Adj
vOcates Adoption Of a Sort of
kindergarten System.

DR.. Curryer, of Minnesota, is one of
the soundes& authorities in the west
on practical horse breeding. In a re-
cent talk he said he was a believer in
something of the nature of a 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
to go forward. We should understand
this law, which is a 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 lump of sugar. He may
not eat it at first, but pass it 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 counterfeit this, place a
strap around his body just in front of
his hind legs. Attach a rope to this
and run it through 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 well with the halter, give him
some lessons in driving. Let the old
horse teach the colts their first lesson,
and to do this I take pair of old
carriage wheels on an axle. To these
are clipped two wooden bars, IA feet
long, about two feet from the ends;
the longest ends, extending in front,
make the thills for the old horse. A
crossbar 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 to
keep the colts in place. They soon
learn from the old horse what to do,
and they get used to hearing the
wheels roll behind them, so that they
are not afraid when hitched to
wagon,

MODEL CHINA CLOSET.
Some Excellent susgestiOns for the
Safe-Keeping of Cat Glass and
Dainty POrceIains.

The china-closet in many houses is
built into the wall. This disposes of
location. Home-makers have to ac-
cept the goods and the ills the land
lords provide, but wherever located it
is imperative to have. good shelves and
plenty of them. Very many built-in
closets have shelves much too far
apart. But it is sometimes possible
to make the high shelves answer by
putting screw hooks all over the I'M
dersides and hanging there cups and
mugs, little pitchers, etc. Hang the
saucers against the wall back of the
cups by means of fat wire china racks.
There may be double or even treble
row of the racks. In filing them study
colors as much as possible. With sau-
GERS of various sizes put the biggest at
the bottom, unless such placing ruins
the closet color-scheme.

wares, china-closet is among the best

DESTROYING WEEDS.
Proper Time to Cut Then, Is Late in
the Season When They Are
in Full Bloom

Weeds growing in the pasture OF
meadows should be cut very late in
the season when they are in full
bloom. Where the pasture consists
of native grasses it may in some
cases become absolutely necessary to
destroy the weeds that grow in it or
they will often grow so dense as to
kill out the useful grass. It was for
many years my opinion that the
proper time to cut weeds to destroy
them was early in the season, and
to repeat the cutting several times
when the weeds were only a few
inches high. But after many years
of unsuccessful attempts to destroy
them I have found that although they
might be held in check they could
seldom be destroyed.
Then it happened one fall several
years ago while working on my IA
theirs farm that he told me to cut
down patch of dense weeds, consist
ing of golden-rod, buttercups, wild
asters, etc, when the greater part
of them We're in full bloom. At that
time I thought it was a useless waste
of time, thinking they would appear
as dense as ever the next spring.
But was surprised to see that none
appeared, and not for many years
afterwards did they appear in num-
bers. When weeds appear in mead
ows where wild hay is grown it is
more difficult to get rid of them, and
the best method I know of is to oc-
easionally cut the hay as late as pos
sible when the weeds appear in large
numbers. Tt will prevent them from
sending up a second growth the same
season and the roots will die out in
most cases. especially if the season
be a dry one. = Agricultural Epit-
omist.

Big Loss in Bleached Hay.

When a piece of cotton or linen is
to be bleached it is laid on the grass,
sprinIled with water or allowed to
get wet with dew, and then exposure
to the sun does the rest. The effect
produced ON the fabric by this
process is duplicated with hay when
it is allowed to be alternately wet
with dew or rain and shone upon for
any length of time by the hot sun.
1t is true that this cannot be avoid
ed at all times, but every possible
effort should be made to avoid it,
for bleached out hay is SO inferior
that it is pity to devote labor to
its handling, and it is not profitable
to compel stock to subsist on it dur
ing the winter.-Farm, Stock and

SIX DOCTORS THIS TIME.

South Bend, Ind, July 29th.-Six diff
ferent doctors treated Mr.. j. o. Lande-
man, of this place, for Kidney Trouble.
He had been very i'll for three years,
and he despaired of ever being well.
Somebody suggested Dodd's Kidney
Pills. Mr.. Landeman used two boxes.
He is completely cured, and besides
losing all his Kidney Trouble, his gen
era1 health is much better than it has
been for years.
No case that has occurred in st. Jo-

BITS AND PATCHES.
Every Human Being Is n Piece or
Patchwork, Made Up of What Is
Gotten from Others.

Folks are most all guidebools or
red lanterns if they amt anything
else to speak of-eXamples or warn
ings, L mean-though generally they
don't know it either way" said Aunt
Betty. There's plenty of folks
would be surprised if they knew how
much I'd got from, 'em when they
didn't think they was giving me any
thing.
Its like my bag of patches. I've
helped SO many places where there's
been rush with sewing that I've
picked up lots of pieces here and
there; get them for patchwork, you
know. So when I sit down at home
to make a quilt it seems as if I was
fitting bits of different lives togeth-
er; weddings and journeys, sad
times and glad times.
And it's good deal that way with
what we are and how we do things.
There's q streak of patience learned
from some one who never knew we
watched him and here's a bit of
selfishness knocked off because we
couldn't help seeing how hateful II
was in somebody else. We're bravex
many day on account of some ona
who didn't know any human eye took
notice of how she tried to be cour-
ageous, and we have many distrust-
full hour, maybe, because somebody
else boosted their unbelief. Yes.
We've got a good deal of a patchwork,
made up of what we get from others;
but then we give as well as get, and
sometimes I wonder what kind of
bits I'm furnishing -Wellspring.

PORTABLE FARM FENCE.
trnted Has Been in Actual Use
for Many Years.

The best way to feed cattle when
on pasture is to give one feed of corn
a day, always feeding at the same
time, and I prefer that it should be
in the evening. 1t is best to give
them what they will eat clean only;
probably they will eat a peck each
per day, but I would begin with less
and gradually increase. To fully
utilize the corn, hogs should follow
the cattle always, and if any soiIed
corn is left in the box always throw
it out when feeding and give them
a lighter feed the next time. I have
never seen a thoroughly satisfactory

PRAISE FOR THE A. AND NJ. COLLEGE.
Gov. Aycook's Message Telling of the Great
Work of the College.

Gov. Aycock's Message Telling of the Great
Work of the College.
Governor Aycock last week trans
mitted to the Legislature the biennial
report Of the A. and NJ. College. The
Governors message pays Il high
compliment to this great institution.
In his message the Governor said:
Il herewith transmit the biennial
report of the North Carolina College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts
for the years 1899 and 1900.
''This institution is training our
young men to skilled labor in the
various agricultural and mechanical
trades, occupations and professions.
It's field of work is almost unlimited,
and is entirely distinct from that of
the University and the other col
leges. 1t is endeavoring to supply
the large and increasing demand in
our State for skilled wOrkmen me-
chanics, m~achinists, draughtsmen,
engineers, electricians, dairymen,
stockmen, truckers, textile workers
and educated farmers.
GAS this is the only college of its
kind in the State, it should be prop
.erly equipped and supported. But
even a casual visit to the college
shows that its present equipment is
entirely inadequate. It's income does
not suffice to meet its necessary run
ming expenses its equipment Of
buildings and machinery Is not equal
to the proper instruction Of students
already enrolled and it is greatly
hampered by a large debt inherited
from q fOrmer administration. The
college has no chapel for daily relig-
iOus services and public exercises
there are no dOrmitOries for hun
dreds of applicants, and textile ma
chinery to the value of eight or ten
thousand dollars, which has been
donated by friends of the college, IS
now largely unused and valueless for
lack of a suitable textile building
and motive power. These wants
should be supplied. They are funda-
mental and vital.
"This college is not a philanthropy,
but a genuine investment and a neces-
sity. It's thorough equipment and
roper support will enable it to train
hundreds and even thousands of lads
TO useful and profitable labor, and
will greatly promote the industrial
development and material prosperity
of North Carolina. l earnestly ask
your careful consideration and wise
treatment of it's urgent needs"
