To Cit Glass

To cut letters out of glass is not SO
difficult an operation as the amateur
glazier may be led to think. To con-
duct it successfully first with little
paint mark out the shape of the let
tiers upon the sheet of glass; then heat
a piece of thin iron wire until red hot
and with it draw over all the outlines
of the letters. The concluding item,
should the glass letters not immediate
" separate themselves from their sur
roundings. is to carefully dip the sheet
in wide bath of cold water. The let
tiers will then detach themselves with

The Colts First Winter.

The first winter is the important
time in colts life If neglected then
by want of feed, exposure or too close
confinement. the loss can never be re-
gained. The aim should be to keep
the colt i'll good, growing condition
from liberal feeding and plenty of ex-
ercise. Three quarts of crushed oats
per day, feed of boiled barley mixed
when hot with bran four times a
week and all the good hay it will eat,
and, unless very stormy, it should
have at least three hours exercise ev-
cry day in yard or paddock. The
surest way to ruin colt is to keep
it i'll a close. box or stall all winter

Weiah the Milk.

Have a pair of scales in the stable
and use them twice daily. If the
cows drop off in milk, look for the rea-
sons why. From year to year good
cows will increase in number in the
herd of the man that is always selling
off his poorest COWS and is raising
calves from his best cows to take the
place Of the poor COWS of which he
disposes.- Holstein-F riesian Register.

Improving the Dairy Herd.

One of the quickest ways to improve
the milking quality of the dairy herd
is to select bulls from COWS which are
known to be record mixers. One au-
thority says the milking qualities of a
cow depend more upon her sire's moth
er than on her own. There is great
deal of truth in the statement.-Farm-
erS Advocate.
