Teaching q Colt to Back.

Horse Sense-an important and neces-
sary duty in its after life of usefulness
which is easily accomplished by COM

hand between the point of the shoulder
and the breastbone and using the other
hand at the halter strap to simply keep
the colt straight in line. 10 back in any
desired direction. Don't try to force
the colt backward by ''yanking" at the
halter or bit but simply press on this
sensitive chest cavity with the fingers,
and the colt will naturally 60 back

obstruction behind it. When this pres
sure has been made at the front and
the colt has moved backward ff it is
only one step it should be rewarded
for this action: then try again. About
the third time this pressure has been
made it is n good time to associate the
word "back" with the pressure, and the
reader will be surprised TO see how
soon the colt will comprehend what is
wanted and how willingly the young
thing complies with our every wish
as soon as it understands what is
wanted.

Small FIocks.

A small flock should contain about
as many individual hens as will corre-
spond to the number of members in
the family. as the table scraps will only
feed certain number. \ small flock
may be kept at a profit. while larger
one may entail loss. In feeding a small
flock it pays to give soft food TO the
fowls at least once a day. 1t should
be given in the morning and may con-

should be given them. The birds

weeks before they are wanted TO kill,
and should be fed on oatmeal and corn

Do not give them more than they will

give little and often. For layers less
grain and more meat should be sup

In an article on pruning peach trecS.
Roland Morrill, says: IF there he nc
climatic reason why tree should have
IA long body, would give it short
one, because by and by the young tree
must be pruped. and every foot Il tree
Is raised in the air is just so much
more energy expended to the end OF
its existence in going up ard down
ladders. Every foot means increased
percentage of extra labor for every
man that goes up and down the ladder
hundreds of times during the life Of
the tree. This means n difference Of
ten per cent. on expense, and it may
take twenty per cent. These are little
things, but they count much. SO l
would say, unless there is some excel.
lent reason otherwise, l would advo-
cate short bodies. Another reason is
there is not the same leverage from

is on the long stem"

Capable Poultrymen.

1t is very difficult TO secure capable
man to assist in the management of
poultry when 1t Is made business,
and especially in raising broilers. The
eye of the employer must be every
where, and regularity is essential. The
cause of this lack of help is due to the
fact that it is seldom that the hired
man is required to give his attention
to poultry, such matters being left to
the women Of the family. Now that
poultry is receiving great attention and
incubators are coming into use exten.
sively. there is a new field opening up
for the hired man, and if he will make
himself familiar with the details of
management of poultry he will find
that his services will be in greater
demand and higher wages awaiting
him.
