Advantages of Fall Colts.

Fall dropped colts are more conven-
lent on the average farm than those
born in the spring. Some of the horses
on nearly every farm are idle all win,
ter anyway, and the mares might bet
ter be nursing colts and giving them
good start than to be eating their
heads off and giving nothing in return,
says the Horse News. When the spring
comes and the mare is needed for farm
work the colt can be weaned and the
mare can do her work without annoy
ance from the colt. One has to be care
full Of mare in hot weather while a
colt is sucking her, because overheating
her gives a colt the scours. BY hav-
ing the colt come in the fall the mare
sucklcs him while she is doing no work,
and she CAN give him a much better
start than when he is born in the
spring.
Some farmers think that 1t is ex-
penyive to feed the mares well enough
during tho winter to cauac an ample

Brown VS.. White EGGS.

At the California station the chief
object of the examination of eggs was
to determine whether there was any
basis of fact for the popular opinion
that eggs with brown shells have
higher food value than those with
white shells 1t has been said by some
that the brown eggs are richer than the
white ones, but this statement is not
borne out by chemical analysis, and
the physical examination proves that
the main point of superiority, though
extremely slight, are possessed by the
white eggs. The minute differences
that are found between the two groups
are exceeded by variation between va
rieties within the same group. 1t may
be stated that there are practically no
differences so far as the food value is
concerned.-Weekly Witness.

Draft Horse Breeding.

"If an experiment recently under
taken by the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege proves successful, Americans will
not have to go abroad for their choice
breeds of draft horses, said w. j. Ken
nedy, of Ames, Iowa, who recently was
sent abroad to buy animals for use in
establishing a new American breed.
while in Europe | purchased sew
eral animals of the English Shire and
Scotch Clydesdale breeds, which pos
sess all the good points considered de-
sirable for the American draft horse.
| secured the finest mares that could be
purchased in Europe, and these will be
crossed in an experiment to establish an
American breed of high character.
"The only objection American draft
horse buyers have to these two breeds
is that they had long hair on their
legs. However that is not serious, be-
cause the animals selected had little
hair, and in the course of time you can
eliminate this. No breed keeps this
characteristic long In America. 1t was
at first thought desirable to make use
of the Percheron, but | could not find
any desirable animals of this breed in
Europe. 1t is fact that the Percher-
on breed in France is losing its char
acter very rapidly. Fewer first class
animals are raised there now, and it
seems possible that the breed will die
out in that country unless strenuous
measures are taken to prevent it.
"This is all due to the fact that for
many years France has shipped out its
best horses to America and other coun-
tries. This has gone on so long that
France has lost all of its fine animals
and only inferior ones remain. Under
such circumstances the breed is sure
to die odt. Steps are being taken to
protect the breed in America, whence
many of the best Percherons have
come, although little care has been TAX
en- in the past. Americans depended al
most altogether on France for per-
petuation of the stock. The United
States government is interested with
the Iowa college in this experiment,
which, it is believed, will be highly sue
cessful. Washington Post.

flow of milk, but this is mistake. In
feeding her they are feeding the colt
and each pound of gain that he makes
at that age is made more economically
than at a later date. Very little grain
is necessary, or even none at all, for
mares sucking colts in winter, pro-
vided they have plenty of alfalfa hay
or oat and pea hay. Glover hay would
be good for the milk flow, but the dus-
tiness of average clover hay is against
1t for such purpose. Alfalfa hay,
however, hasn't this disadvantage and
1t is superior to red clover as a milk
producer, and it yields at least fifty
percent more per acre. Perhaps the
reader thinks alfalfa is only for the ir-
rigated fields of the west, but this Is
mistake. Anywhere that red clover
grows well the land is good enough for
alfalfa, but the latter should be sowed
alone or with light sowing Of barley.
Some land needs incubation for alfal-
ia and some does not, but wherever
sweet clover has been growing the land
is already inoculated for alfalfa. 1t
will pay farmer to raise alfalfa for
his brood mares as well as for milk
cows, sheep and hogs.

HeIpina owners Of WoodIots.

Owners of woodlots in Connecticut
have been taking lessons from the
State Forestry Department. The for

or htin the woodlots, also what land,
If any, may be profitably planted. A
sample acre or so is marked out desig-
mating those trees which should be cut
out and giving the farmer an idea of
the plan to be followed in cutting the
whole lot. The cost of marking
amounts to twenty to fifty cents per
acre. In advisin gand planting of
young trees the forester recommends
white pine or chestnut, for the most
part-American Cultivator.

Farm Notes.

The duck averages ten dozen eggs in
about seven months laying.
From thirty-fve to forty ducks and
brakes are allowed in a pen.
Ten dozen eggs year is the average
estimate given as the production of a
hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as
an average for the annual output of the
turkey.
Ducklings are marketed at five
pounds weight, which they should at
tain in ten weeks.
An Iowa man got rid of the thistles
in his pastures by cutting them off with
hoe just as they began to bloom, and

We have been growing such big grain
for three or four years that we have
neglected to raise young stock. There
is scarcity of colts, calves and pigs.
Make the next few months count, in the
breeding of all kinds of stock.
A small farm well cared for and
properly titled is far more profitable
than a farm too large to allow of the
best cultivation. Intensive and not ex-
tensive farming is surely gaining in
favor with agriculturists of the middle
west.
The heavy draft horse which is at
home on sulky plow, or any other of
the heavy work about the farm, should
not be driven as a roadster Whenever
these big horses have to be taken on

FEEDING for Equs.

To keep a hen in good condition for
laying she should never have full
crop during the day. 1t is not wrong to
give light meal of mixed food, warm
in the morning, in the trough, but such
meal should be only one-fourth the
quantity the hens require. They
should go away from the trough unsat-
isied, and should then seek their food,
deriving 1t grain by grain, engaging in
healthy exercise in order to obtain it,
and in such circumstances the food
will be passed into the gizzard slowly
and be better digested. Gradually the
hen will accumulate sufficient food to
provide for the night, going on the
roost with a full crop, where she can
leisurely forward it from the crop to
the gizzard.
Feeding soft food leads to many err
rors on the part Of the beginner, caus-
ing him to overfeed and pamper his
hens, and by 1t they will reach a con-
dition that is entirely antagonistic to
laying. 1t is much better to feed from
trough, unless the soft food is care
fully measured. A quart of mixed
ground grain, moistened and in crum-
bly, condition, should be sufficient for
forty hens as starter" for the morn
ing, but two quarts of whole grain
should be scattered in litter for them to
secure and seek for themselves.-Week-

UPPER AIR CoLDEsT AT EQUA.
TOR.
148 Below Zero at IL Miles Altitude;
Grows Warmer Above Miles.

Grows Warmer Above Miles.
At the meeting in Dresden, Saxony,
Of the congress Of German Scientists
remarkable statement was made by
Professor Hengesell of Strassburg Uni
versity, that atmosphere at high alti-
titudes is the coolest over the Equa.
tor and the warmest above the Poles.
This surprising result, he explained,
was determined by balloon ascents,
made during the month of July in va
rious latitudes, under the auspices of
the international committee which has
been investigating the atmosphere at
high attitudes.
The observations, which were taken
with automatic instruments attached
to unnamed balloons have not yet
been worked out in detail, but Profess
sor Hergessell finds his conclusions
abundantly proved through the data
thus collected. Balloons which reach
ed attitudes of eleven to twelve and
one-half miles in the tropics were
found to have registered about 14S
degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, while
in the latitude of Central Europe the
temperature was only rs to IS below
zero at the heights indicated.
Another fact established by these
balloon ascents is that the greatest
cold Of the upper atmosphere is reach
ed at heights of from six to six and
three-quarters miles, varying some
what in different parts of the world.
Above that height contrary to the as
sumption of scientists hitherto, the
air actually grows warmer. This
warmer strata of air is deduced to the
highest at the Equator and lowest at
the Poles, where it is estimated to be-
gin at about four and one-third miles.
Professor Hergessell concludes that
the atmospheric conditions affecting
the weather do not reach higher than
seven miles.

conclusion is based and says that

constructing he will prove clearly in

AS to the Bordas gems, jewelers.
say they only resemble precious
stones. Bordas himself regards his
transformation of spar into precious
stones simply in the light of labor
atory experiments and not matter
of having commercial value, as the
process is too costly. In order to
transform piece of spar into topaz
he subjects it to contact with a tube
