Keep good rasp handy and use II
judiciously in keeping the feet OF the
colts level and Of proper shape. Don't
let the toes become too long.
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty. It is also indispensable in
order to keep the colts free from
worms and lice and their feet free
from thrush.
Don't neglect to cover the Icy spots
in the yard or paddock with gravel,
loan or ashes. Slipping on such
spots may cause the ruin of valu-
able colt or brood mare.
Don't keep the weanling shut up
In stalls and standing on hard floors
all the time. They need exercise in
the open air and on the earth every
day to keep their limbs strong and
their feet healthy.

hammered, fat, sleek and well
groomed.
A foot pick is a much more impor-
tant implement In the colt stable than
the currycomb or brush. When the
soles of the feet are picked clean and
washed every day there is little dam
ger that they will become affected
with thrush.
1t Is more conducive to the health
and hardness of horse stock to be
kept in barns that are we'll ventil-
ated and not warmed by artificial heat
than In close and steam heated sta
bles. Pure air is as essential to pure
blood and good health as is pure food.
A tablespoonful of flaxseed meal
added to the grain ration of each
weanling colt every night will have
beneficial effect upon the bowels
and give gloss to the coat. Money
spent for flaxseed meal to feed to the
youngsters is an investment that will
pay a fifty per cent. profit at least

Fertilizer In Clover Roots.

In growing clover tho farmer. as n
rule, wholly overlooks Its great value
as n soil fertilizer through the great
amount OF nitrogen which Is gained
by simply growing the clover The
roots, therefore, may be claimed as a
portion OF the crop and the profit,
and should be included In the ac-
counts as such. In one experiment
sixty pounds OF roots remained In
the soil. valued Mt $500, which rep
resented so much plant food waiting
to be utilized the next season. and
which differed from that usually sup
piled from the fact that IL was not
necessary to invest any capital the
next season In nitrogenous fertilizer,
as the nitrogen required was already
In the soil and for use. Any farm
that can be brought to that condition,
so as to enable It to produce clover.
can be gotten Into the highest state
of fertility, as II Is only necessary to
supply the cheaper mineral fertiliz-
ers In order to balance the plant food.
The profits do not depend wholly up
on the crops harvested but upon the
price realized compared with the
amount OF material removed from
the land, the real wealth and capital
of the farmer being his soil, and
when he can sell something from the
land in the form of crop, which
will provide him with more than he
took from It, he Is sure to become
prosperous In few years.

Do Ostriches Ever Die?

Nothing is positively known as to
how long an ostrich may live. Some
writer's claim that 1t will live 100
years. Ostriches which are known to
have been in captivity for forty years
are still breeding and producing
feathers.
1t is the experience of Arizona
farmers that among the birds having
good, nutritious green feed death sell
dom occurs, except as the result OF
accident. A dog or other small ami
NAL will sometimes frighten ostri-
ches and cause them to run into the
fence, which may result in a broken
leg. When this happens the bird
may as we'll be killed, as few ever
recover from such an injury.-Na-

Fruit Trees From Cuttings.

will live and they will prove worth
less. Peaches will not grow at all
from cuttings. OF pears, lie Conte,
IL properly handled, will grow from
cuttings as well as willow. The
Mariana plum Is also very easy to
grow the same way; so also are many
kinds OF ounces.
To prepare cuttings for planting
select nice. straight shoots of the
current years growth. AS soon as
the leaves fall cut them eight to ten
inches long and pack them in box
of damp sand or well-rotted sawdust.
Put the box in some place secure
from frost until spring and see that
the contents are kept at all times
damp, but not soaked. In spring you
will find the cuttings nicely calloused.
Be careful not to expose them to the
air more than necessary when setting
out in the nursery and IL possible
select mild, still day for the pur-
pose.
To grow Kiefer pears from cut
tings make an assisted cutting by
grating a short piece of ounce root
one inch or an inch and a half on the
bottom of an eight-inch scion. Do
this in February and treat as recon-
mended above.
The best plan for growing Japan
plums is to graft long scion on a
small peach Seeding in February,
planting deeply in spring and plant
ing still deeper when set in orchard.
BY following this plan you will have
fine trees of abundant growth on
their own roots, even though the
land is too wet for peach trees to live
in at all.
To grow peach seedlings, throw up
bed by cutting a trench around it.
Plant the seed on top the bed, cover
ing them two inches deep. This
should be done late in the fall and in
spring when the seedlings are three
or four inches high, transplant to
nursery row. A transplanted peach
Seeding makes better root system
than one not so treated.-The Epito-

INSANE PURSUIT OF WEALTH

: Discussing recently at Carnegie
Hall, New York, "The Evils of Sur

tended that the commercial spirit
shown in the accumulation of most
of the vast fortunes is q species of
insanity. The accumulators who take
leave of human feeling in amass-
ing wealth ought, he held, to be shut
up in sanitariums until cured. hTe
kind of commercial spirit referred to
is illustrated in the adulterat;on of
food stuffs, in overworking small
children and generally in the exploita-
ton of the needs and views of man
kind.

SCISSOR of untainted millions, but very
many of our m~illionaires are thought
to have acquired their huge piles by
abhorrent methods. They have only
utilized, it is true, existing CONNER
Cial practices, under existing laws, but
they have profted by the defects Of
both.
The immortality of their methods is
conceded and cosdemned, but such is
the demonstration of the American
spirit that nearly every American, it
is said by the cynies, is ready to con
fess that, had he the opportunity, he
would get rich quick in the same way,
