Hitcl,inr the Colt.

When first hitching a colt always use
a harness with a breeding, so that he
will get used to 1t along with the 9TH
er harness. Before hltching a colt In
the cart 1t is best to put set of hop
pies on him. This can easily be made
by taking a set of straps, which should
be strong and large enough to pass
around the tetlock. These straps
should have rings in them. To tho
rings attach a rope about twelve feet
long. Pass the rope from each one Of
these straps up through the girth and
back to the seat. This will be found
to be very helpful in case anything
should go wrong and the colt should
become unmanageable so far as REIN
Ing him by the bit is concerned. Should
anything happen just pull on the rope
and you will bring him down on his
knees, and thus prevent his running.
He should not be pulled up too severe
", as sometimes by so doing you may
bruise or skin his legs This win also
be found very helpful in teaching the
colt to stand, as he VIII soon discover
that you have power over him which
makes 1t impossible for him to get
away.-W. j. Kennedy, Iowa Expert
ment Station.

Treatment of Domestic Animals.
Few things about the farm need
reformation so much as the treatment
given the faithful, helpless farm ami
mails. Until steam and electricity
come into common use the farm horse
will ever be an Indispensable factor In
agricultural production. The farmer
with a plow without the horse would
be in as bad fix as to have the horse
without the pillow. And when we con-
slider the treatment of the faithful and
Indispensable farm horse receives from
so large a number that are absolutely
dependent upon his work-how he Is
overworked and underfed-it is enough
to make humanity weep.
The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals has accomplished
great good in many of the large cit
les by protecting the tame and the
halt" and the half-starved and unmer-
clfully overburdened beasts Of burden
that are being cruelty imposed upon:
but this great work of humanity
should not be permitted to stop at
what has been done, but extended to
every nook and corner of the CONT
nent where work animals of any Kind
are employed. Every State Leglsla-
ture and town and city council should
enact stringent laws with severe pen
altles and have officers promptly en-
force them in every instance, where
violated, of overworklng, undertaking
and overtaxing any horse, mule or OK
in the land.
1t should be the duty of every State,
county and municipal Officer to enforce
these laws r1der heavy penalty for ne
glecting the same. Any man who
works an animal without giving 1t
proper feed and humane treatment de
serves punishment commensurate With
the offense. The law should give am
pie protection to all dumb animals
from inhuman treatment Of brutal
owners.

No animal is profitable If 1t is not
making gain in flesh or producing
something. The horse performs labor,
the COW yields milk, and the young
stock should be kept In rapid growth ;
but the steers, wethers and barrows
will entail loss If they do not show
some gain, as they are heavy food con
sumers. Every pound Of weight lost
entails the task in order to regain the
lost waste and compensate for the
time. No farmer should be satisfied
to have his stock at a standstill.

in the southwest caused weakness to- day In the wheat market. Corn was down ssc. Oats was off 2s@1zc. Provisions were 71a@10c lower. The market at the opening was strong because of higher prices at Liverpool and reports that the green buzz was gradually spreading in Missouri. It was also reported from Ohio and Indiana that the new crop Is com mencng to show the effects of winter killing The latter dispatches were par tially overcome by the Ohio state report, which placed the condition of winter wheat on April 1 at S7, compared with 9S in December. Toward the end of the first hour, however, sentiment changed and prices eased off, because of an official forecast of wet weather in the southwest. The market continued weak for the re- mainder of the deay, the weakness of corn and oats having a depressing effect on wheat. The close was easy. May wheat opened 4@ssc higher at 76S@77c; sold at 771sc and then declined to 761sc. Final quotations were at 76isG76Ssc. Clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to 44S 400 bushels. Primary receipts 900 bules, against 479,000 bushels for the cor responding day a year ago.

COTTON ADVANCES
 NEAR THE CLOSE Net Gain of Eleven to Fifteen
 Points
BUYING FROM ST. LOUIS
Frost Not Believed to Do Any Damage But Light Receipts and Poor Seed Reports Are
 BuIlish.

New York, April S.-The cotton market continued quiet during today's early ses- sion and showed little feature until near the close, when there was quite an active demand and a considerable advance with last prices firm at net gain of Il to 15 points, Sales for the day were esti- mated at 75,O0O bales.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 2 points, which was about as due on indifferent cables. The weather map showed frost in parts of the eastern belt, but it seemed the impression that no damage was being done and warmer weather was predicted for tomorrow.
 Some of the local bears offered rather freely during the early session in an eff fort, presumably to break the market, but the cotton was well taken and the market began to steady up toward mid day on scattering covering, which may have been prompted by lighter receipts and reports that government experiments with seeds showed that the seed of 1906 was less fertile than that of the previous season.
 Trading continued at prices few points over the closing figures of yesterday un- til near the close, when demand became quite active and prices showed a net gain of about Il to 15 points. The close was at practically the best point of the session.
 Buying on the advance was rumored to be largely for prominent St. Louis house.
 Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1s cent lower. Receipts at the ports today, 10,504 bales, against 27,21O last week and 1S,970 last year.
 Todays receipts, 10,504 bales, against 27,210 bales last week and 1S,970 last year For the week, 125,0OO bales, against 147,23l last week and 113955 last year.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 3-Spot cotton closed steady and unchanged. MddIing, 1012c. The spot demand showed somewhat of an improvement Sales were 1900 bales on the spot and $50 to arrive.
 In sympathy with Liverpool, futures op- ened quiet at a decline of 1 point on the active months. After selling as low as 1O.13 for July during the early part of the session. when the bear element was ir- clined to hammer the market down, prices gradually improved in response to a mod crate amount of fresh buying, based on rather light estimated receipts for Thurs day at New Orleans, Houston and Calves ton. When the market reached the level of 10.1S for July, heavy selling orders brought about drop of several points. The bulls, however, rallied to the sup port of the market and brought 1t up to 1925 for July. It again fell off points on profit taking, but closed steady from to Il points above the closing yester- day.
