WEAVING THE COLT.
Practical Advice From Veteran
Handler of Horses.


Handler of Horses.
About the most critical period in the
life of. young horses is at weaving
time. For those who are about to sep
aratc colts from their dams the fol.
lowing advice In Farmers Advocate Is
of interest, and especially 50 because
it comes from the lifelong experience
of so skilled a hor#cman as DR.. J. G.
Cuiryer who says: I'VE have weancd
as many as twenty colts at one time
and got along nicely by making bust
ness of this matter and attending to it
as anything of Importance should be
We always wcanCd the colts in thu
morning, so we could visit with them
and watch every detail all day, but
were very careful to pair the colts of
evenly as to size and age, SO that if
any difficulties arose-and sometimes
it happcns-thc scrap would be on as
even terms as possible, to prevent a
domnccring spirit on the part of one
and coward and undcrling always
on the part of the other.
The Firs: Feed.
I'VE never offered the colts anything
to cat until late in the day. and then
took Il little warm SWcetencd skim
milk in II shallow pan and went into
the box stalls and offered each some
thing TO drink. This takes a little time,
but not half as much as most people
suppose-not half the time ii would re
qulre TO feed MS many calves the first
time. Why, | would rather take the
lob of twenty colts than one calf. 1t
Is best to hold out the pan for the colts
to come and drink. but if they have not
been in the habit of drinking from a
pail they will generally pay no atten
ton to the offer even if they are very
thirsty. Hold the pan under the mouth
of one, and with Il sudden motion up
ward one can dip the colts nose into
the warm milk and make 1t dodge
away But no matter. Try the othel
while the first is looking anXiOuSly to
ward you, with the result generally
that YOU will have both drinking be
fore five minutes.
"If neither has any interest in this
matter. move on to the next box and
try thcm and If it should happen that
none of them takes hold don't worry
about it, but provide Il little nice sweet
hay and very little bran and oats and
leave them alone until morning. when
If is IourhnutS to marbles that every
one will take hold eagerly and drink.
Sometimes it happens that one will
drink and the other stand back timid
~, but as soon as the first begins to
drink freely the other will come up
and make desperate effort to get its
full share, making it case Of help
yourself or get left"

SAND ROADS.
Now These Highways May De Kept
In Good Condition.


A sand road is in its best condition to
sustain traffic when it is moist and if
no other treatment can be given it
bushes and trees should be grown
along its sides to shade it and keep it
as moist as possible, says the highway
commissioner of Maine. TO this end it
is desirable to have sand road no
wider than is actually necessary to ac-
commodate the traffic Only slight
bitches for carrying away surface Wa
ter should be provided.
A good treatment for a sand road is
to eXcavatc the center of the road with
the road machine about six inches
deep making the bottom as even rs
possible Then spread a layer of clay
eight inches deep in the excavation,
taking care to have all the clay of ore
texture and of even thickness. as any
variation in the texture OF material or
in thickness of same will result in
rough and uneven surface, due to soft
and yielding places. After smoothing
the clay and tamping it or rolling it
about two inches Of sand should be
spread upon the surface. This may be
narrowed in and then the surface roll
ed, or it may be left for the travel to
work into the clay. After the sand has
united with the clay more sand should
be spread upon the surface. Gradually
the clay will become saturated with
sand and hard, smooth surface will
be the result, which will give excellent
satisfaction.
Sand roads may also be temporarily
improved by covering the surface with
single shavings, sawdust or tan bark.
Dead leaves, meadow hay or straw will
also afford temporary relief. If grass
can be grown on the surface of the
road 1t will strengthen It materially,
the roots of the grass acting as bind
err for the particles of sand and keep
ing them from shifting about and
working on one another.

SANITARY FEED BOX.

unclean sour. i'll smelling and unfit for
the horses use. says writer. who sub
mits the accompanying design of a
feed box in Farm, Field and Fireside.
The feeding tray \, shown in the
left hand corner of the Manager, is es-
pecially built for ease in keeping clean.
The sides are made sloping from bot
tom out to top SO that corners may be
readily reached. 1t rests on bars, 3,
nailed to the sides of the manager and
is easily removed for cleaning after
each feed. The opening in front of the
Manager should be closed by swinging
door, ID. This prevents the horse
from nosing out his hay and throwing
it over into the feeding alley.
Good Mounts Hard to Find.

failed to bring out Il sufficient number
of good mounts to supply the demand

straw to show the way of the wind for

HORSE WORLD
OF T Cd A Y

1t would appear from government
statistics that the value of horses has
Increased surprisingly during the past
nine years. On Jan. /, 1897. there were
14,364 ,GG1 horses IN the United States,
Their estimated value at that time was
Sf52, Gt9.336. the average value at this
estimate being about $3.50 per head
On Jan. 1, 1906. the total number Of
horses was 1S,71S.5TS, and their esti
mated value was $I,510. $3.50. 90G. which
is about $S0.15 per head or more than
two and half times as much per head
as was their estimated value nine years
ago.

High Class Horses Held Back.
Those who have attended the sales
of light harness horses this year re-
port that comparatively few good ones
are offered, remarks National Stock
man. The good ones are selling so well
on private terms that their owners do
not care to risk the sale prices. OF a
recent sale in New England the Boston
Globe says: There was just one high
class horse in the lot. There was not n
true and tried race horse that looks
able to win in its class: Of the aged
green trOttcrs and PAGERS there was
not single one that appeared of the
sort worth entering in the grand cir
cult; the best of the youngsters, with
one exception, can only be considered
fair; gcntlemen's driving horses worthy
the name there were none; the out
classcd trotters and PAGERS suitable for
speedway use were few in number,
the saddlers were an average lot. The
sale right through was made up of
not valuable. Yet the average price
was 1920 per head"
