Making Draft Horscs.


There is one thing that the man who
is trying to raise big horses should
not overlook-and that is plenty of
food for the colts. A draft-bred colt
that has not enough to eat will not
make draft horse--te will be Il
chunk of some grade. not heavy
enough for a draft horse. Some peo-
pie claim that draft colts will not re-
quire any more feed than colts of a
lighter breed. That is an error. They
do require more, but not so much in
proportion to their size as does the
light horse because they are of n
quiet disposition ana put more of their
feed into growth and less into eNer-
else or nervous fretting than the light
horse. But no big horse will be pro-
duced If the feed is lacking. Give the
colts enough to keep them growing,
and they will pay good price for all
they eat when the time comes to sell
them. AT a sale in Ohio last week
draft geldings coming years old sold
to feeders at 5000 to $3.50 a head. When
feeders can afford to pay such prices
for horses to fatten for market there
is nothing wrong with the draft horse
business. But there were no stunted
colts in the bunch that sold for these
figures.

Removing warts from Horses.


Take about four leaves of strong
cured tobacco, place them i'll vessel,
pour about one-half gallon of water
over them, place on the fire, letting it
boil down to strong juice, and apply
to the wart. Always pick the wart SO
as to make 1t bleed before the appli.
cation, that 1t may strike into the fun
gous growth. A few applications will
soon do the work; gradually the ell
largement will decrease and disappear
as If by magic. AS an evidence of its
efficacy, some years ago horse that
we drove had n bleeding wart OIL his
back that the lines kept continually
bleeding. 1t was about the size of q
walnut. with neck about Hhe size OF
ones index finger. would OCCASION
ally sprinkle few crumbs of tobacco
OH it from my pocket, and the wart

them in hot water and binding them

will be rewarded for your trouble. -

Feeding Oats in the S11cnf.
One of the first things learned
when boy was that feeding sheaf
oats to horses was wasteful. However,
had to do it last fall and now wish
had saved a portion of my thrash
ing bill that way. Several years ago
read of a certain farmer cOndemning
a COW because she leaked her milk,
While lie had other COWS that did not
pay their keep. although they did not
leak their milk, while the first COW
paid well in spite of her leakage. Now,
in the case of my horses, l have
known them to pass oats with their
manure in so perfect a state that they
would grow, and no scheme of driv-
ing nails in the bottom of their feed
boxes, putting in stones or having
their teeth tlatted by horse doctor
had any effect on them. But, 10! when
l fed them sheaf oats. not the first
vestige of an oat could be seen In
their manure. Now, what difference
does it make where or how the oats
are wasted? And if few pigs could
have access to the stable when the
horses We're out in the field, it seems
to me that sheaf oats would have
the best end of the argument.-Farm,

The currycon,b.

If currycomb must be used have
the smoothest one that can be found
and use it but sparingly. In the
hands of some men the currycomb is
Il barbarous instrument of torture. Ap-
piled with n long, sweeping motion,
without regard to the shape of the
body or the evenness with which it is
held, it will make poor animal
shrink and shiver. The skin is often
seriously hurt by the angles Of the
comb when carelessly and heavily
handled. A short motion, back and
forth, does the work more effectively
and humanely than the severe appli-
cation of the comb described. The
horse will learn not to dislike 1t If he
finds ne rs not hurt.

Geese OF Lowinnds.

Geese are extremely hardy and long
lived. They thrive on low-l.ing lands
which would not be suitable for fowls.
Old pasture is best suited to their re-
quirements, as they crop tl,e grass
very short, and would like;S destroy
the roots of newly sown grass. They
must be afforded liberty ana lots of
grassy range They are very coarse
feeders and will eat nearly anything
In the shape of green food. Although
it is desirable TO hatch early, 1t is not
always advisable. as it depends upon
the climate aud location. Goslings
need grass. and do not thrive unless
green food is supplied when shey can
not get range.

Farm, Notes

An important item in stock feeding
is regularity.
Long feet are frequently the cause
of lameness in horses.
1t is waste of feed to give more
than an animal can digest.
With all stock. food may be wasted
by giving too much or too little.
Sheep, when being fattened, should
have protection from wet and cold.
With all stock, there is no single
feed that possesses only good quail
ties.
Early pampering should be avoided
if mature and healthy development is
desired.
The sheep raiser who is not progress
sive cannot expect to attain perfection
in his calling.
Labor, even on the farm, is most eff.
fective when directed by intelligence
and thought.
To injudicious feeding may be cred
tied large amount of the fatality
among hogs.
Scarcity will not always govern
price. The cost of production has
something to do with it.
In breeding sow look for rather
short. stocky animals, close-made, with
as little waste as possible.
One of the best ways to increase
the income from the farm is to raise
the value of what You have to SELL
In orchard planting select with a
view to good bearing, good quality,
good marketing and good keeping.
The brood SOW should have plenty
of nourlshlng food such rs will cause

fat.
