Colt I.nisinc.

The extremely high prices now paid
for serviceable horses make colt-raising
quite profitable. Many farmers, realiz
ing this. are keeping more brood mares.
On every farm one or two or even more
additional teams are needed to carry
on the regular routine work of planting
and harvesting. The brood mare can
be made 10 fill this need. and mean
while raise good colt A good colt
will more than pay for its mothers
Keep and she can do her full part in
tending the corn if she and her colt
are properly fed. Corn and timothy
hay alone will not supply the necessary
food for the colt or its mother. IT is
Il one-sided ration and they will not
thrive well unless other foods are given
with the carbonaceOus ration. Bran
and oats are excellent for feeding with
corn. The horse will eat large
amount the variety will be such that
the animal will not tire of il, and in
addition they are good for the produc-
ton of milk. Clover hay, if free from
mold and dust, will prove better
bulky food than timothy. It. too. is a
milk-producer. and furnishes flesh
forming matter for the growing colt.
70 do her part in the team and at the
same time raise profitable colt, the
mare must have every attention. She
will not stand abuse. She should have
Il pasture during the night, a place TO
rest in the open, and she must have
good grooming.
When the colt is quite young it
should be taught to stand with the
halter and be made perfectly gentle.
1t Is much easier to push colt out OF
your way than it is to watch it con-
tnually that it may not run over you
trying to get away. A colt made gentle
ut iirst. never forgets its kind treat
ment in early life. Little difficulty is
experienced in breaking such colt.
When the colt becomes gentle, 1t will
soon learn 10 eat. II Il good trough is
provided, separate from that of its
mother, ii will eat from II. After it
learns TO call for its feed and eat suffi.
cient quantity of oats and bran to do
1t great deal of good, soon IL will
eat shelled corn mixed with the oats
ana bran. If taught to eat well and
made gentle. the colt will make salts

IN growing the crops. They are in the
way but little when they become gen

ing work hours, but must have their
water and food just as regular as the

novelist who has travelled about the

dences of affection are priced by men
and women in different countries. In
Jerusalem she once met a young Arab
woman who had not tooth left in
her head. Nine. Harry's native ser.
want said: Lucky woman; her hus
band knocked all her teeth out. He
does love her." In Cochin China
Nine. Harry was told that there a
husband was not believed to love his
wife properly until he had made a
present to her of a coffin. In Galicia
among the sect of masochlsts, a man
values his wife's affection by the de-
grees of suffering which she causes
him to endure. Nine. Harry there
once heard betrothed youth say to
his afianced bride: IF you really
loved me you would consent to bind
me and fog me with this whip" At

friends Is now suing her husband for
divorce on the ground that he does

The Drover's Journal explains the
cause as follows:
In every agricultural community
there are prosperous farmers and hus.
bandmen who appear to be on the de-
cline financially. We have in mind
young man who bought a 1sO-acre
farm and assumed mortgage OF
$1,000 payable in installments in ten
years. He was the son of thrifty
farmer and married the daughter of
wealthy neighbor. He was not wor.
ried about his interest or payments,
as he knew that he could obtain finan.
clal assistance at home IL necessary.
He had received a good business edu.
cation and came to his task with all
the experience that he had acquired
while assisting TO operate his fathers
estate. He had money enough to buy
agricultural implements. horses and
cows TO operate dairy farm. His
crops were always put in in season
and thoroughly cultivated. He car.
ried his milk to creamery and raised
all his calves. He produced good
many hogs, and after three years ap.
peared to be selling hogs and cattle
every month in the year.
All the stock on his farm appeared
thrifty and his dairy herd increased
in quality and quantity of production
Low places on the farm were tiled and
by judicious management of fertilizers
the land yielded increased crops an.
liz. h.
annual payments were met from the
resources of the farm. and instead of
extending the loan before the final in.
stallment was due he had purchased
and paid for an adjoining eighty acres
This achievement was accomplished by
skillful management of his estate, q
study of what kind of farming was
best adapted to his land and carrying
out all his plans with strenuous per.
severance.
Contrasting with this example of sue
cessful agricultural operations was q
neighbor who had inherited an ad
joining 300-acre farm, of equal fertility
ana productiveness. This wealthy
farmers son had no natural talent fol-
agriculture, and after living on his in.
llerited estate fol thirty-four years
died actually poorer in personal prop,
crty than when he came into possession
of his patrlmony. With the resources
of splendid farm at his command
he neglected TO improve his opportuni.
ties, and instead of leaving Il large
bank deposit account to be distributed
among his heirs. he left the estate in.
numbered with debts and in d dilapi.
dated condition.
Success in agriculture depends as
much on resourceful management as in
the fertility of the soil. One man is
always seeking more knowledge ap.
pertaining TO his profession, and 50
operates his land as a business propo.
sition that he achieves brilliant sue.
cess, while another man, epvironed
with greater opportunities for creating
wealth by neglecting to improve his
chances, scores a signal financial fail
ure.

really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
my husband had dyspepsia when we
were married and had suffered from It
for several years. 1t was almost i'm
possible to find any thing he could eat
without bad results.
81 thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee, and persuaded him to
discontinue it. He did so, and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, his
digestion improved; he suffered much
less from his nervousness and when
he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet
he was soon entirely cured
'My friend, Mrs. - -, OF Vicks-
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect. neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home
some months ago, | persuaded her TO
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until 1t restored her health so COM
pletely that she is now the most enthu-
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that l
