STARTING RIGHT WITH THE COLT

Many a colt has been spoiled by some
fool man who worked on the principle
that the animal must be shown VINO was
master. and that this could only be oone
bv making the animal fear the man. ~
Is not an easy task to break IA horse OF
bad habits but there is not one colt IN IL
thousand but what can be brought up
solely by kinhncss firmly applied. once
let the colt fear the man and there is
trouble TO the end. on the other hano II
the Young horse is ruled by kindness, with
out the whip and without the loud harsh
word there will be no trouble. Oh course
one must he firm and teach the young am
NAL the laws of obedience, winch is not
difficult. Expert horscmen claim that Il
moderate but firm tone will have more
effect on a horse than a loud tone, whlch
invariably incites fear. Speak to the colt
or the horse in accordance with what Is
required of him. Pet him occasionally,
make him comfortable. do not whip him
and he will love and obey YOU. Even tle
kind word will have a most remarkable
effect on .le old horse who has hitherto
heard few of them. TRY 1t.

IMPORTANCE OF HUMUs IN THE
SOIL

All farms that have been worked for
years are not worn ont II they have been
sairly well fortified. In the majority of
Eases lack of humus or vegetable matter
n the soil is the cause of the poor crops.
There are farms where this is not needed
except occasionally and once green ma
nuring is sufficient for several years: on
the other hand when the soil needs vege-
table matter it needs ii badly and all of
the commercial fertilizer one can heap
upon it will MOI; mend matters. The farm
that has been largely MANFRED
from the stable is not likely to be so bad
iy in need of humus as the farm which
has had commercial fertilizers most of
the time. While some of the vegetable
natter is expensive to apply there Is
nothing more satisfactory nor cheaper in
the end than clover If one can get A good
catch of It,. Often lines a mixture will
accomplish the purpose. We have had
excellent success by sowing clover and
dwarf Essex rape mixed or the clover
and COW horn turnips doing the work at
the last cultivation Of the corn and plow-
Ing under in the spring using the ground
for oats. The next season it may be used
for corn again or better for potatoes and
this green manuring will last over the
next season so that with a rotation of
corn. oats and potatoes the green manur-
ne. is not likely to be needed again until

rHE LIQUID MANURE BARREL.

Liquid manure is very usefu! on the
farm. especially when one has a flower
garden or vegetables growing near the
house. On Towering plants especially he
liquid manure judiciously applied will
bring increased and larger bloom. The
best way to prepare this is TO have a large
barrel which is water tight and a a
faucet with a large hole inserted in the
usual place near the bottom. Now take
a strong wire and twist 1t into a circle SO
that with the aid of a few wire hooks it
can be hung on the inside of the barrel.

and Sew around this wire hoop. Attach

COTTON SEED MEAL FOR PAS
TURE COWS.

The writer has not believed much in the
idea of granting COWS during the summer
Until recently: perhaps this opinion was
due to the unusually good pasture the ami
mails had as well as to the low price OBJ
tanned for milk in the summer which did
not seem to warrant the feeding of grain.
Last year a little experimenting was done
with cottonseed meal and the results were
most satisfactory: this year the feeding
has been done a little differently and with
even better results. Our cows still have
the excellent pasture. but in addition, are
given a daily ration of one pound of cot
tonseed meal. one pound of corn meal and
two pounds of a mixed feed composed
largely of wheat. The increase in flow of
milk and the better quality proves by
figures that 1t pays. The cost OF trying the
plan is small and the result Will be quick
ly a~scer,ained. Try it for a month and
keen close watch of results.

SUMMER SETTING OF STRAW.
BERRY PLANTS.

While there is no question about the
value of strawberry plants set in the
spring over those set in the fall. except
where the winters are very open, the mid
summer set plant gives one the advant-
age of a portion of a season OF growth
which will count big in the next fruiting
season. The method OF setting pot-grown
plants is known to most strawberry grow
ers but it is expensive if one has 10 buy
the plants. If the plantations are to be
increased from the old beds then one can
readily obtain their own pot-grown plants
using the method described in this depart
ment before. 1t must not be inferred,
however, that only pot-grown plants can
be set in mid-summsr:w We have had SPLEEN
did success with layer plants by the fol-
lowing method. Strong layer plants are
selected, the first on the runner next to
the parent plant. carefully u and set in
soil that had been we'll prepared. The
work was done in July and, as there was
no rain soon after the plants had to be
watered twice after setting, which was
a big job. A little strawberry fertilizer
was scattered about each plant after set
ting and they grew finely SO that when
early fan came they had made a good
start. Because of their tenderness they
were lightly mulched in the late fall after
growth stopped and an additional mulch
was put on just before the ground brok'
up IN the very late winter. The crop tn
folIowinp seas was all to be desired.

THE SEASON FOR CATCH CROPS

The article on green manuring
in this department this week should be
supplemented With the advice TO keep
something besides weeds growing on the
soil during the summer and fall. Possibly
not all of the catch crops can be fed. but
any of them may be plowed under and :hus
add humus to the soil. Cowpea can be
sown now and the growth plowed under to
add both nitrogen and humus to the soil.
Then there Is the crop of sowed sweet corn
which we have advised before. There is
still time to SOW this even in the north and
get enough feeding value out of 1t to pay
for the work to say nothing of the I'M
proved condition in which the soil is LETT.
If one has an early potato crop, rye is a
good thing to follow it with 10 he fed or
plowcd under in the spring as seems best.
More soils are injured by remaining UNI
covered during the winter than most
farmers realize. Look into the merits of
summer and winter vetch. of rape. of cow
peas and of COW horn turnips and cover
the ground with something which will add
to the value of the soil or to the crop
which follows if it is not in fit condition
for feeding.

INCREASED CONSUMPTION OF

1t does not require a long array of sta
tistics to prove that the consumption OF
milk is rapidly increasing and particularly
in the larger cities. The writer spent a
few days in New York city recently and
two sights particularly impressed him.

coffee was in the pals Of four and the re-

milk instead Of beer was to be remarked
In a large city. In a combination saloon
cafe l saw more than fifty glasses Of milk
sold over the ounter and the proprietor
told me that he sold more h a hundred

Der of things one may learn about the care

KEEP POULTRY GROUNDS CLEAN

Much has been written in this depart
ment concerning the necessity for keeping
the poultry houses clean both winter and
summer but 1t is just as important that
the grounds over which poultry run be
kept sweet and clean. One Of the best
methods of purifying soil on which fowls
nave run is to spade it UP and then cover
IL. with fine lime ailowing this to remain
for twenty-four hours and then spading
it under. If the run is grass covered 1t
may be puriiied by using a mixture made
oy dissolving one pound of copperas in
two gallons of boiling water and adding
one gill of %sulphuric acid. When the COM
pound is cold place il in a sprinking pot
and sprinkle the grounds thoroughly, not
turning the fowls on to the grounds until
.wenty-four hours later. This same mix
ture may te used en- bare grounds If it
does not seem desirable to spade the soil,
and 1t may also I've used with good effect
