Pumpkin Sugar In Iowa.

Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which will be
developed in Iowa, for the authorities
at the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar will be made from them
by a process even more simple than
that required to make it from beets.
Experiments have resulted In the pro-
duction of a species of pumpkin which
contains per cent Of sugar, and it is
the prediction that in three years the
sugar element will be increased to Il
per cent. This is equal to the quantity
of sugar found in the best variety OF
sugar beet. Because pumpkins are cas-
lily raised and a tonnage may be pro-
duced to the acre which will exceed
that of sugar beets the new sugar
pumpkin will open up valuable teld
for the Iowa farmers The pumpkins
may be planted in the cornf1elds, and
the same soil which will produce corn
may be made to produce crop OF
pumpkins at the same time.-American

RreENfnC the Colts.

J Handle the colts as much as possible
while quite young. The time to begin
to break foal is as soon as it is born.
If colt is handled from birth it is far
less difficult to break it to work later
ON than if allowed to run wild. A colt
should be halter broken by the time it
is month old and should by that time
be on such intimate terms with man.
kind as to allow its legs to be handled
freely, says the Farmers Advocate. To
teach horse to be driven that has
been handled from birth is so easy
compared to breaking an unhandled
colt that 1t is almost play. 1t is much
easier to teach sucking colt to lead
or drive than it is wild, strong colt
of two, three or four years Of age.
Broken thus early, he will always be
more trustworthy than II broken at the
latter age.
