wEANlNe THE COLI.

The weaving of the colt should be
something more than merely taking the
colt away from its mother. If the colt
has been kept at home and not allowed
to follow its mother about the fields
or on the road. the matter OF weaving
will not be difficult. IL the colt has
been allowed TO suckle five times a
days reduce it first to four, and after a
few days twice day will be ample.
Should the udder of the mare become
too full II should be relieved, but this
will not often be found necessary, un-
less the mare is a heavy milker. The
most critical time in the life of the
colt is right now-after it is weaned.
II should be eating some oats by this
time, but 1t will need good pasture and
good drinking water. do not believe
that it is good policy to heavy grain
feed young horses, but they should
have enough at all times to keep them
developing and in thrifty condition. The
stalk field and straw stack are not the
best developers Of bone and muscle.
Don't lose sight of the foals during the
fall and winter.

HANDLING rHE HElFER.

More promising cows are spoiled
the first year they are MIXED than at
any other time. The heifer may have
been handled since calfhood, in just
the right way TO make her a great
producer, but neglect or improper
Feeding during the first year she gives
milk, will undo all OF this. The OBJ
ject during the first year should be
60 keep the young cow up TO q normal
flow right through the year. This win
take careful feeding and plenty of good
feeding stun. This is as far as the
"crowding" ought to go. These young
cows are In no condition to stand the
strain OF heavy feeding, to make a
record; and such work, IL done at all,
should be left until the COW has had
her second or third calf It Is not a
good plan to go to the other extreme
and allow the young COW to shift for
herself Get her down to business as
soon as possible. The object should
be to make persistent milker; this
will be best done IL during the year
she Is milked right up to about a
month OF the time her second calf Is
due, Feed for development OF the
young COW, and never let her get away
from the idea that giving milk is to be
her sole business.

BETTER PASTURES NEEDED.

We have too many pastures, like one
OF Professor Holdens boys corn field.
that fooled around all summer and did
nothing The majority OF our pastures
and meadows are not yielding enough,
and 1t might be a good thing to hnd
out what the trouble is. Short pastures
mean weedy pastures, and this means
short milk supplies; besides. weeds do
not produce the kind of flavor we want
In milk.
The first thing to do in building UP
the pasture, is to build up the soil SO
that II has enough strength to produce
decent crop. This can be done, with
out disturbing the turf, by giving the
field a good coating of manure this fan,
paying particulars attention to the thfia
spots. Let this manure leach down
into the soil during the fall. so that
when seeding time comes around next
spring there Is going to be enough
nutriment IN the ground to start the
young plants. Then next spring go
over the field with disk and let 1t dig
in, SOW plenty OF seed. and, instead OF
using timothy or clover alone. use a
mixture and put In a few poHnds Of
English rye grass. Sow three or four
different grasses, SO that IL the season
is unfavorable for one 1t will probably
just suit one OF the others.

Don't use big. heavy pads on the
collars of the work teams. If the col

washed in cold water every evening
there really will be no need Of pads OF
any kind.

Sucking colts are worth as much this
summer as a mature horse was three
years ago. Many are trying to meet
this demand for good horses, and a
fine crop OF colts is coming on. Good
