.arS are kept clean n shoulders

there really Will be no need OF pads OF
my kind.
Sucking colts are worth as much this
summer as a mature hnrse was three
years ago. Many are trying to meet
this demand for good horses, and a
! fine crop of colts is coming on. Good
care and good feed. with a well-bred
Colt TO start with. will 500 work into
good money.
1t takes a man or boy with a steady
temper to handle the young horses. Pa
thence and good Judgment are both es-
seatiais. Don't overload; don't leave a
good colt where 1t is apt to run away;
don't work it too long at a stretch:
ion't get ii tangled up in the machine
or harrow. In short. keep 1t steady,
and keep 1t out OF scrapes In a little
while 1t VIII get down To business and
VIII be ready for any service.
How about those sheds in the pas
turess A few poles covered over will
give shade and be better than nothing.
Why not get some shade trees started
Vhes really supply all the summer
shelter needed. Stock cannot dc well
standing, out in the hot sun fighting
flies.

There has been a short crop of lambs
this season. 1t looks now as If sheep
men who are fortunate enough in hav-
Ing good Hocks for feeding would make
all kinds OF money. Bad weather has
cut on the lamb crop in Some of our ex.s
port countries, and this will help boost
prices.
Now is q good time to look over the

that will be wanted Tor breeders next
spring When selecting at this time
we have in mind the best mothers, and
pigs from these should be first choice.
Tie growthy. alert ones usually a
best.
Early pigs Will he all right to go into
the eed lots along about the holidays,
but II Is a mistake to compel these pigs
to live exclusively or the drcppings Of
cattle. Give them some whole corn at
night. Some feeders clean out the feed
ing hunks in the morning. When this
Is done h hogs usually get ali they
want to eat. and VIII not hustle for
~droppinss. Let the hogs take care of
the early morning droppings, and feed
the whole corn at evening.
/ notice, In an exchange. that an Iowa
cattle feeder recommends Changing fat
tening cattle from one feed to another,
on alternate days. Don't do it. Even
the most quiet cattle do not like to be
disturbed. They become accustomed to
the hunks and sheds; and, nothing
should be done to worry a fattening
animal.
A reader asks. what makes clover hay
turn lark Ia the stack, and when in
that condition, whether It is fit for feed
Ing. It was put up too green. Cattle
will eat 1t readily and do well. / have
seen clover hay come o of stacks i n
great flakes, having that burnt color
and a decided scorched odor, and cattle
liked II better than timothy.
Scarcely any two farmers In a neigh
borhood put up hay in the same way.
So long as we yet a nice. green sweet
favored article, I do not know that
il matters much how it IS & up. /
notice that many handle their clover
pretty fast, They start moving as soon
as the dew Is m, and after a couple OF
hours. II the hay Is heavy. the redder
Is started. Right after dinner they
start hauling, and keep at 1t until the
dew begins 10 fall In the evening.
A correspondent wants to know
whether ii Will pay TO grind fed for
fattening cattle. when hogs are to fol.
