THE COLT AND ITS DAM.
Some Suggestions as to the Treat
ment They Should Receive at
This Time of Year.

It is often a question what to do
with the young colt and how he should
be treated and handled during the
fall and winter months, in order that
he may develop into the most useful
horse It is granted that he has been
with his dam during the summer
months on pasture. or If the dam has
been worked that he has been allowed
to nurse on her return to the barn.
He should be taught to eat grain be-
tore weaving, which is usually best at
about five months of age if he has
grown well during the summer and Ii
IN good condition. It is not q difficult
task to get him to taking grain, says
Orange Judd Farmer ALI that is nee
essary is to feed him ina box by him
self near his dam, but she should be
tied so that he can have all the time
he wishes for taking his meal. If they
have been running together in the pas
ture feed trough may be fixed up in
a corral where the grain may be placed
daily. It will require only few feeds
of grain until his mother will anxious
ly watch for the feeding time.
After weaving. the colt should re-
ceive some grain daily during the fall
and winter months. Too often do we
see this neglected at the most impor-
tant and critical time in the colts life.
It Is at a period in life when growth
should not be stunted and when the
mouth Of the colt is not well adapted
to chewing and masticating large
amounts of coarse rough food which
would be necessary for maintenance
and growth without the addition OF
grain. II q rye pasture can be had to
furnish green feed so much the bet
ter.
It does not make the most hardy
horses to let the colts stand and shiver
all night long during the winter
months on the windward side of a
fence post, or even straw stack; but
on the other hand it will reduce their
size and tend to retard the rotund and
symmetrical development SO much de-
sired. After the first winter the colt
will succeed in getting along much
better out of doors if he has access to
an open shed or well protected place
in which to shelter in times OF storm.

Meringued Pears.

Select six, fine, ripe. large pears:
peel and core them; then rinse in very
cold water. Stand the pears in a bak-
ing dish SO that they will not touch
one another. Add half a cup of water;
place in steady oven and cook un-
covered until tender, but not broken.
Remove the pears to a fiat glass dish
and when cold I'LL the cavities with
any desired fruit Jelly. Prepare q
meringue colored delicate pink and
favored with. extract of rose. Spread
this over EACH pear with silver knife,
which should be dipped frequently in
cold water. Smooth the meringue
evenly over the whole surface of the
pear. Place the pears in the ice chest
to become very cold after first placing
them In a cool oven to harden the
