THE HORSEMAN

The time to teach a colt to back is
when he is a colt. A good way to do
this is to put a halter on him. lead
him out of the stall. take hold Of the
halter close up to the chin. then gently
but firmly push back. saying OVER and
over again: Back Back" He will
soon take the hint, and a little prac-
tice will make perfect.
Heavy Horses Profitable.
Heavy horses are more profitable
each year in spite of the gasoline en-
CINE and the more common use OF
steam. Well bred, heavy horses, serv-
iceably sound and well broken, sell
readily from $50 to 5000. Farmers
hesitate to buy light horses for farm
use and after one has had experience
with a good heavy team lie will never
go back to light horses for farm work
no matter how much heavy stock
costs. Horses weighing 1900 TO 1,GO0
pounds are of inestimable value on
any farm. Here is a suggestion for
farmers who can raise a few colts
each year. Raise none but the best.
! See that they are heavy horses of the
/ popular breed in your own community.
In many places Percherons are favor
ties, while in a few sections Shires
and Cydes are wanted. In many
places Belgians and Suffolks are be-
coming popular. These latter are
compact, very heavy and are giving a
good account of themselves wherever
introduced American Agriculturist.
Briefs For Breeders.
A change of work often means a rest

Farmer.
| Be very careful of the colt during his
first years work.
The scrub horse like all scrub stock,
fails to pay big profits.
The excessive use OF the whip brands

Clean the collars often. Dust and
sweat make them rough and sticky.

The sucking age is period Of rapid
growth. See to it that the colts are
not stunted at that time
A low standard of hOrs emanship can
not appreciate the fine points of a
horses disposition.

Is Il montn ola ana 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 it is almost play. 1t is much
easier to teach a sucking colt to lead

THE SHEPHERD

Don't forget when laying plans for a
new sheep barn that it should extend
east and west, with doors and windows
facing south, and that it should be well
ventilated.
A healthy flock of sheep is a profit
able flock
Sheep are good manure spreaders,
and they make "a business of killing
weeds too.
Count the sheep and lambs every
day. Keep a sharp lookout for sheep
killing dogs.
Sheep are the scavengers of the farm.
Turn h flock of sheep into foul fields
and let them free it from weeds. Ev-
cry farm should support small flock
Of sheep.
A eve gaining in flesh at mating time
is much more likely to produce
good lamb than one in poor condition,
says the Farm Journal.
To insure thrifty and growing con-
dition some grain should he given ewes
every day in addition to the pasture.
Scrub rams will make you scrub for
the money you get. Don't keep them;
get good ones.
Save some of the best eve lambs for
your own flock. Those from good,
twin bearing stock are best
The sheep fence needs to be good and
tight two or three feet up from the
ground. Above that it may he more
open.
Contract for your sires early. A lit
tie later they will all be picked up.
Feeding Sheep.
The feed should be so distributed
that all may have free access to it at all
times, writes w. T.. Raymond in Kim
balls Dairy Farmer This is more i'm
portant with the large flock than with
the small Judging from our own OBJ
servation. this is seldom the case. we
have seen fiocks inclosed in one yard or
in shed while the feed was being dis
tributed in another: then when the
door was opened-often a narrow one
the sheep would crowd in. tumble in,
anyway to get in. The first ones have
| plenty of time to fill up before the last
ones get out GenC9llly all would be
eaten up before the last arrived. This
again is where the strongest get the
most and best. while the weaker and
those that need it most get little or
nothing. While this may not be avoid
ed altogether. it can he to a great eX-
tent by providing wide doors and
gates. One Of the best arranged sheep
sheds | ever saw had the whole side
for a door, about three feet high. When
sheep were let i'm or out to feed, all
came as near having an equal chance
as it is possible with large flock. An
other feature Of this kind of a door is
that none is hurt or killed by being
TANNED in doorways. This may mean
much to a flock of ewes when heavy
with lamb. It is also very important
with large flock that they have water
where they can get to it at ali times
and at no distance from the feeding
yards. Sheep are so gregarlous that Il
they be driven to water and all cannot
drink at once many of them will fol

"OId Home Week" Good Thing
From the Sacramento Union.

IN EAR old Julia Ward Howe, aged
SS years, heart as fresh and brair
as clear as when she wrote 1.-THE
Battle Hymn of the Republic" has
lifted her now feeble voice in favor OF
the permanency and universal observ-
ance of Old Home week. which begins
with July 2S. The subject so interested
her that she attended a public meeting
held on behalf of its furtherance and
delivered a short and thoughtful ad-
dress to interested listeners.
We are migratory people. We have
followed the star of empire across the
continent, leaving the old homes and
the old people behind, but it is not good
to leave them wholly. The difference
between civilized man and a savage
is mainly, that the civilized man has
home ties while the savage is much
of a wanderer on the face of the earth.
1t is not good to cut ourselves off from
our ancestry and the traditions that
cluster about and restrain us. If the
Pacific coast has suffered in it's morals
and in it's regard for the proprieties, it
is because it's people left too much
behind when they came away from the
east. The sharp edges of the Sierras
have had too much the effect of cut
ting off the pioneers from back home
and what the people back home" VEN
Grated and held to be reputable. Ira
ditions are great conservators of peace
and good order.
Another good result flowing from
Old Home week is that it keeps one
part of our country in touch with an
other and tends to obliterate those sec
tional and provincial lines that have,
at different periods of our national de-
velopment so hampered progress and
estranged one part of our common
country from another. Passing to and
from the old home we keep in touch
with different sections of this broad
land, mingle with new people and re-
new acquaintanceship with the old,
modifying our extreme views in some
cases and giving us different points of
view in others, and so broadening our
of common interests as
to make us better Americans.

cial. In the minds of many of us the
whole United States is divided into two
great (nearly equaD main divisions
California and back east" We talk
and feel as If back east were essen
TALLY one place, as California is an
especial entity. We complain that the
people over the mountains have a most
erroneous and even ridiculous concep-
ton of what California is, but the ave-
rage conception of California by people
east of the Rocky mountains is quite as
accurate as the average conception by
the Californian of conditions east of the
Missouri or Mississippi rivers. Changes
have gone on In many eastern and
middle western states more rapidly
than on the Pacific coast. and are more
difficult to keep up with.
Finally, those who can do so should
go back home during Old Home week
mot every year, but whenever possible
for the subtler influences exerted upon
the minds and hearts of the visitors
themselves. We have not too many
softening influences to appeal to the
best there is in us, but the old folks,
the old homesteads, the old hills and
valleys, the old burial places where our
people sleep, are like the "old oaken
bucket that hangs in the WELL" foun-
tains of renewal of old loves, old SYM
pathies, old emotions that we have suf-
fered to lie too long dead and inert
in our grasping, money loving careers.
In lifting her voice for "Old Home
week." Julia Ward Howe has done we'll
nigh as good thing as when, in those
other and more trying, disheartening
times, she lifted up her voice and sang:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord" And, by and by,
California, too, will be "Old Home" with
sons and daughters scattered, as they
are aldeady scattering, through the ter
ritories, the dependencies, down into the
Latin-American republics. 1t will be
good in that day to have "Old Home
week" a fixed American institution,
something to us as going up to Jerusa-
lem was to the children of Abraham
who had wandered here and there. 1t
prevented them from wandering away
from the God of Abraham and from the
life and faith of the Hebrew people.
