TRAINING THE COLT.
In These Days of Progress Young.
stcrs Are No Longer "BrOken"
with "a whip.

The young foal should be left en-
tirely to its mothers care the first
few hours. Do not molcSt the dam
or foal by helping the colt to its feet
at once, trying to have it nurse"
etc. BY so doing you irritate the
mare and exhaust the strength of
the foal. The foal is as well and per-
haps better off not to nurse for a
couple of hours.
After Il few hours the colt should
be approached carefully, carcssed, and
given to understand you are COM
panion and friend, not an enemy.
Give him little sugar or salt from
your hand and you will soon have
him leave his mother and come tc
you across the yard or field.
If you have TO work the mare, dc
not let the foal follow as he gets
tired and leg weary. Young colts
spend n great deal of time lying
down. Shut him in box stall, or
what is better, in company with an
other foal. He will soon become con.
tented. AS soon as he becomes ac-
customcd to eating, give a little
ground oats and wheat bran in his
feed box, and if in the stable with his
dam, 1t is well to have box separate
from the dam where she cannot eat
his feed.
The colt should be taken from the
dam at from four to five months old
and put in "A pasture by himself or
with other colts and have regular
feed of ground oats and bran once
or twice per day. From the first
years good feed and care, the beauty
of the coming horse is developed.
You cannot begin to educate him too
young by handling his head and feet.

Eruits on Poultry Farms.

The owner of a poultry farm should
raise all the summer fruits needed for
The table, all the vegetables that can
be eaten at home, with enough for the
poultry, all the grass he will need for
the chickens and hay for wintering II
few cows, and all the milk and butter
for home use. Here we have one crop
helping another. We plant few acres
of clover, which gives the chickens
fresh green food in the season and good
hay for winter. The fruits supply the
table with what we need and then add
to the diet of the chickens. Likewise
the vegetables lessen the cost of our
living, and give to the egg layers the
very food they require.-Farmers'
Voice.

Grading Hogs for shipment.

Too much care cannot be exercised
in grading hogs for shipment. Uui-
formity of size and quality is neccs-
sary TO secure the best prices; a few
habby, half-tinished animals will
sometimes result in the entire load
selling for several cents per hundred
pounds less than it would if every ami
nal were uniform. This in the aggre-
rate amounts to Il sum considerably
in excess of the value of the poorly
finished hogs in the load. 1t is better
to ship load three or four short and
have an even lot than to send in the
full number and have the uniformity
broken by three or four culls, which
nearly always take a position on the
outside of the bunch for the inspec-
ton of the buye Midland Farmer.

When three or four months old, put
ON Il halter. Take about 40 feet of
cord. double it, tie n knot in the
doubled cord so that the loop will
slip over the colts rump or quarters
but not up under the tail. Have the
of saddle. Run ends of cord through
each side of the ring of halter, stand
in front of the colt and give a gentle
pull. If he does not come readily,
step u little to one side and pull
quick. You will throw him off his
guard and balance, and in Is minutes
you will have your colt educated to
lead.
When older, coming two years old,
hitch your colt on the off side of a
gentle horse, for few times, so he
will learn to drive, and in meeting
teams, electric cars, etc. he will have
what he will consider the protection
of the older horse. Then put him on
near side, changing back and forth
from one side to the other. Then
some day, after a good drive, if your
colt is spirited, put on the single har-
ness and you will find n very near
perfectly broken colt, safe to drive
past electric ears, etc. We used to
break colts with n whip; now we edu-
cate them without this cruel instru-
ment.-A. B. Donelson, in Farm and
Home.

"The popular idea that the age of
a horse can always be told 10y looking
at his teeth" said veterinary sur
geon. "is not entirely correct After
the eighth year the horse has no more
new teeth, so that the tooth method
is useless for telling the age of horse
which is more than eight years old.
As soon as the set of teeth is com
plete, however, a wrinkle begins to APP
pear on the upper edge of the lower
eyelid, and new wrinkle is added
each year, so that to get at the age
of horse more than eight years old
you must figure the teeth plus the
wrinkles"
