The Boy on the Farm.

The boy on the farm should receive
encouragement. His is hard job.
There is nothing under the sun, moon
or stars that he is not expected to do
from currylng the horses before sunup
to milking the cows after sundown. If
he Is of school age he escapes some of
the jar Of farm work, but generally
finds a pretty good allowance await
fng him when he comes home. In this
day Of scarce farm help it is blessing
to a farmer to have a boy, or several
boys, for that matter, who can help.
1t is still more Of blessing to have a
boy who does his tasks cheerfully and
well. There is not much in this long
houred apprenticeship except board
and clothes, and so every father should
give his son encouragement. Give him
some Of the farm animals which he
can call his own. Let him raise some
stock and feed them on his own ac-
count. He will consider he is amply
repaid then for all the work he does.
II this plan were followed there would
be fewer boys wanting to come to
town.-Pittsburg Press.

But, as | have intimated, even
the inevitable branding and ear
marking are not so painful as one

cattle are not as sensitive as the
higher nervous organisms. A calf

the trouble to lick his wounds,

the barn, and particularly where
they stand on hard floors, are like
ly to become stiff, aud | have
known of u great many instances
where the growth and develop
ment of the foetus were badly re-
tarded by this kind of treatment,
1t is apparently one of the funda-
mental laws of animal existence to
keep up constant destruction and
repairing of the body tissues in
order to maintain a healthy system.
1t has been my experience in
handling brood mares that plenty
of the right kind of work is the
best kind Of tonic and that it will
maintain a healthy body and to
develop robust progeny.
During the late winter months
as the foetus nears maturity the
draft upon the parent becomes
greater and the demand for addi-
tional nourishment increases. To
replace and MAINTAIN the system
of the parent in a high state of
health, food possessing high nutri-
tive value must be supplied the
mare, that she In turn may supply
the necessary nourishing to the
growing foetus. | do not consider
straw of any kind proper to be en-
tlrely relied upon as roughage
ration tor brood mares. There is
no better selfbinder than straw and
nothing that will upset the system
of horse more quickly. If it is
necessary to feed some straw to
brood mares during the winter to
economize on feed, it should be
tod in limited amounts, and only
then while some other food pos
sessing q laxative effect upon the
system is being fed. If ensilage
is at hand it is an excellent laxa-
tive and can be fed to brood mares
quite safely during the winter
months, | have fed ensilage to
my horses quito freely for several
years past and find that it Is
highly relished food and tends to
keep the system in good condition
For roughage ration l have
never found anything quite equal
to mixed hay. 1t may seem at
times, when the price is unusually
high, that 1t is u very expensive
food, but have concluded that if
the best the farm can afford will
cause my brood mares to produce
vigorous colts, l shall continue
feeding all the mixed hay raised
on the farm to the farm livestock.
This winter on account of short
age iu the hay crop last season, 1
am compelled to feed some other
roughage as a part of the roughage
ration. At present | am feeding
mlxed hay mornihg and night and
corn stoYer at noon, with a light
feed of ensilage. My horses are
looking and dong first rate on
this kind of roughage. For a
gram ration l feed literally of
oats, with small ration of corn.
When my brood mares are not
working hard during the winter
months ! cut the corn portion of
the grain ration down to about
one-fourth. This proportion gives
plenty Of carbohydrate to the ra
tion and also liberal amount Of
highly nutritious food to grow
and develop the colt,-Leo G.

MUCH DAMAGE
DONE in COUNTRY

A storm the severity of which has
not been equalled in this city for a
number of years occurred last even
ing about o'clock.
The clouds had been gathering all
the afternoon, and toward evening
there were angry clouds in the north
west that portended rain. The fact
that the usual signs fail in this coun-
try put people off their guard and
they thought that the threatening
clouds would perhaps pass over, as
they had done the night before,
without any rain falling. But they
were disappointed. In a twinkling
the rain began to fall, and it fell in
an almost perfect sheet for quite
some time, accompanied by thunder
and vivid lightning.
The cutters were running over in
a minute or two and the streets were
a veritable lake with running water.
The heavier part of the storm oc-
CURED in the country districts, and
from all sections of the valley last
night and this morning came reports
of very heavy rainfall, in many
places taking on the conditions of a
cloudburst.
At Clifton there was considera BILE
damage done by cloudburst which
filled and overflowed bitches, washed
out culverts and covered fields with
debris.
Near the Mcclure ranch northeast
of the city, lateral or waste from
the Price ditch overflowed, causing a
great deal of minor damages to the
ranches and fruit farms in that sec
tion. Pomona also suffered consid-
erably by the washing away of small
bridges, culverts, tearing up of ditch
es. The residents of that section also
believe that they suffered from
cloud burst.
The storm throughout was very
heavy at first and was followed after
wand by a steady rain through
goodly portion of the night Not
much damage was done at Fruita,

having reached Fruita.
