Salt pork is a famous old.

pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more

CARE OF THE FOALS.
Unless the Mare Is Fed Well and Ju-
diciOusly Her Offspring Will
Fail to Develop.

If the foal is worth raising at ali,
it is worth raising we'll and If not
fed and cared for properly, will be a
disgrace to its sire and source of
loss to the owner, says the Live Stock
Journal. Tine mare should be fed well
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her food should be rich in nj
troSenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building She
should be allowed to suciile her foal
often. if she is worked, and never
when she is tired and sweaty It does
not pay to allow the foal to run with
the mare at plow Or on way to town.
Milk is taken often in this way, but
not IN suitable condition for the foal,
and, besides this, the foal is getting
too much fati2uing work in following
its dam. Work the mare lightly, il
at ALL Before it is too late put in a
strip of fodder corn alongside Of the
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn thickly with seeder,
having some of the sprouts shut off
Plant several times, with a few days
between the seedlings. Use this green
| corn fodder for the mares to help out
the pastures and feed the mares in ad-
dition generously upon oats, bran and
cut hay. Wet this food with molasseS
water, if you want lots of milk, and
can keep flies out of the stable Just
as early as possible let foals learn to
eat mixture of crushed oats, bran and
dried blood meal foods for frame build
ing. and if there is any tendency to
weak bones add bone meal which may
now be had in the market, and do
much to prevent such troubles as "os-
teoporosis" (big head). No foal flesh
must be lost, if best results are to be
obtained in horse breeding. Foal flesh
is to be put on by feeding the mares,
and as soon as possible supplying the
foals with a generous ration Of nitro
genous food such as we have sug-

WHY SELL YOUNG STOCK?
1t Should Never he Done Unless n Man
Is Driven to 1t by Actual
Necessity.

Have you considered whether 1t Is
to your interest to sell the calves.
colts OF pigs at present prices, or to
keep them to get the profit of the
stockman-to utilize the pastures, grain
fields and odds and ends that would be
lost, and that can be made to enrich
the farm? Would it not be better to
feed that feed to stock, both of which
you have been in the habit of selling
unfed and SO contributing to the other
mans profits, and to the building up
OF the fertility of his land, instead OF
your own? The calves might sell for
from ten to fifteen dollars at weaving
time. One year later they should
weigh at least $50 pounds, which, at
four cents, is $50. Now, to make this
weight very little grain is required.

extra grazing of the corn and small
grain fields in the summer and au-
tumn, then the rye and wheat in win

and straw that was previously wasted.
Ihese little odds and ends, if used.
add to your bank account. Colts,
horse or mule-sell we'll at weaning
time, yet there is better money in
keeping, breaking and making desir-
able work stock. Match them well,
take extra pains in breaking, rub them
up until you have a fancy team, then
you can ask and should have a fancy
price. Who knows into what class
colts will develop? Pigs may be cas-

LAND PLOWED IN FALL.
Many Claim That 1t Produces Larger
Crops of Corn Than Soil
Titled in Spring.

There is often difference of opin-
ion among farmers of the same local
ity as to which is best for corn, fall
or spring plowed ground. This is
doubtless due largely to different con-
ditiOns. The Kind of a season may also
make difference in the results. How
ever, we cannot tell beforehand what
the season will be like. Ofttimes, too,
the matter of fall plowing is one of
eXpediency. If the ploWing of the
corn ground is left entirely until

do some of it hastily and poorly. Aside
from this feature, there are, however.
special advantages in fail plOwing for
corn, especially when done rather late.

have ensconced themselves in the soil

as compared with adjacent unHlowed
land. This means $50 tons more wa

OF each acre OF growing crop. Such sec

south American Sugar Plant.

The agricultural department at Wash
ington is inquiring into the statement of
Consul General Richard Guenther that
a new plant has been discovered in South
America which promises to supplant the
sugar cane and the sugar beet. Scien-
titically the plant is known as the erupa-
torium rebandium. and it contains large
amount of saccharine matter and a high
percentage of natural sugar properties
which are easy to extract According to
Mr.. Guenther, lump the size of pea
will sufficiently sweeten cup of coffee,
as the product made from the plant is
from 90 to so times sweeter than cane or
beet sugar 1t Is said to be easily culti-
waited in countries having climatic condi-
tions similar to those of the southern

How to save Sorghum Fodder.

A writer in Iowa tells the Country Gen.
tleman how to save sorghum for stock
food. He says it should be cut only when
the seed is we'll ripened. If cut before it
will be almost worthless, as there will
be little saccharine matter in it. This
constitutes the chief value of sorghum
for feed and is stored in the stalk while
the seeds are developing. The best way
20 handle sorghum is to cut it any time
after the seeds are black; rake, and put
in large shocks right away, and.then let
aged in this way it will afford an inn
mense quantity of feed, good for all live
stock, and there will be no waste. Don't

EatteuinS Growing Fowl.

It is often difficult to make growing
chicks take on desirable amount OF
fat ready for market. The tendency is
for their food to make bone and mus
Gle instead of fat and more food simply
makes them grow faster If they are
fattened at all, it must be done in strict
confinement and very quickly. They
should be cooped up and fed all they will
eat of corn meal and ground grain
moistened with milk for about a week
or at the most ten days. After that they
will be likely to sicken and die from
lack OF nitrogenous food. In this time
half grown chickens should be made
to gain one-fourth of their original
weight.-Prairie Farmer.
