Starting Draft Colts.


In starting colts, which should be at
the age of two years, there is perhaps
more trouble with their shoulders than
anything else, says John Buckler Of
the Iowa experiment station. This can
be overcome to a great extent by the
driver keeping the collars clean and
when in the field letting the team stand
a few minutes, perhaps every half
hour, and raising the collars SO as to let
air under them while removing also
any dirt that may have accumulated
either on the collar or shoulder. Some
extra care the first few weeks will
often save years OF trouble with sore
shoulders afterward Care should be
taken to have the collars fit perfectly.
Always remember to keep the colts
we'll exercised when not being worked
Breaking the Colt.
A colts education should begin in in
fancy, and the first lesson should con-
sist of getting acquainted, says New
York farmer in National Stockman.
The colt must get accustomed to seeing
and having you around and discover
that you are friend to be trusted and
not horrible creature to be avoided if
possible and to be kicked at when es-
cape seems 1mpracticable. 1t is good
plan to have the youngster wear colt
halter, one without lead strap at first.
The halter should be put on and re-
moved many times, and the colt should
learn that he can by it be held and
made to move about at the will of the
trainer.
By the time the colt has attained the
age Of one year he should be thor
Oughly halter broken and should now
be taught to wear harness, though he
should not be made to draw a load or
caused to tolerate the harness and
your instruction simply because he
tires Of rebellion. The average colt at
first usually objects to the harness, and
it should be so firmly secured the first
time it is put on that no amount of
bucking and kicking can shake it off,
Before the colt isshitched to vehicle
Of any kind he should start, back or
stop at the word and do it willingly
and promptly.

Valuable Sleeps Head.

Butchers of Bethnal Green, London,
were surprised recently at the suddets
popularity Of sleeps heads with their
customers. They could not begin to
supply the demand. Inquiry developed
the fact that gold had been found in
the teeth of the sheep which had been
shipped in cold storage from Australia.
The sheep evidently came from some
region where there are gold outcrop-
pings on the surface, and close grazing
left some Of the particles In the teeth
Of the sheep. An attempt will be made
to ascertain from what region the
sheep were shipped.

There were in its depths many odds

with which Aunt Cassandra had adern-
ed herself in her youthful days There
was a pair Of balloon-like undersleeves,
fine and soft, with narrow embroider-
ed bands, all family yellow and scent
ed with some old flower fragrance like
musk rose leaves. There was string
Of coral beads. There was curious,
fat, black bead bracelet, an old lace
bertha, and there was a sacred little
black case with a snap fastening in
which were two photographs, one Of
Uncle Jason and one Of Aunt Cassan-
dra, taken soon after their marriage.
They were Of that old fashioned style
in which you see nothing at first but
a square of shiny glass which you have
to tip about this way and that before
you can distinguish the photograph.
There were Hher objects of interest
in that drawer, but chief of all to me
was a yellowish white fan Of satin and

SELIGMAN ITEMS.

MI JUG OWSll WdS SUi iShSil "iOIi paralysis on Thursday March 10th, at his ranch. Dr. J. 1. Clark, who Is stationed here during the absence of Dr. McNaught in Los Angeles, went out to the ranch on Friday | and did what he could for him. On Tuesday of this week the doctor was sent for, the patient having taken a turn for the worse. He rallied slightly under stimulants but finally succumbed on Thursday morning at fve-thirty o'clock. MT. Owen was we'll known to every one in this section and it may truly be said of him, that he was a true friend to his friends. The body was brought to town on Thursday afternoon and shipped to Williams on Friday where his remains will be inferred today.
 Mir. and Mrs. J. Caufman passed through here last Saturday on their way from Williams to the Rosebud ranch.
 The Social Club was reorganized ten days ago at special meeting held in the home of Mrs. F. Dicker- son. Mrs. J. Riley was elected president and Mrs. Dickerson sec retary. The meeting this week was at Mrs. Lyons home. During the remainder of the season whist will be played fortnightly.
 The U. G. dS P. M. Go. are now moving all stores out to their camp preparatory to changing their base of supplies to Grand Canyon. They expect to be at their new headquar- ters by the 10th of this month.
 The church fund now amounts to $24S with a number of our citizens to be heard from. The Ladies Aid Society will hold literary enter tainment and social at the reading room on next Wednesday night the 18th inst.
 Do women ever stop to consider where the money comes from which is spent so lavishly on them, or where these men come from who have "all kinds of money?"
 George w. Loffe of Erie, Penn., who was a passenger on No. 2 Tuesday, died as the train pulled into the station. His body was re- moved from the train and placed in the freight room and his family notified. Judge Ridge impanelled jury with MT. Fred Truax as foreman. Dr. J. I. Clark and MT. Harry L. Connolly were heard as witnesses and the jury's verdict was that Loffe had died from heart failure superinduced by pulmonary consumption. From passengers on the train it was learned that the deceased had left Erie about one month ago for San Bernardino, ex- pccting that the California climate would restore his health, but like many others he had started west too late to save himself; and, then giv- ing up all hope had started east that he might die among his friends. The means of his family being linn ited, he was buried on Thursday afternoon in the cemetery south of town.
 MT. John Fackner, an old-timer in these parts, was brought in from Fort Rock on Sunday suffering from congestion and cancer of the stomach. He is being treated by Dr. J. l. Clark who holds out little hope of his recovery on account of the patients age. Fackner is about eighty years of age.
 MT. R. E. Belton has severed his connection with the Santa Fe, as agent He has decided to do some thing less brain racking, and ex- poets to be made brakeman in a few days. Mr., Harry L. Connolly came here last Saturday from Bar stow to fill the vacancy.
