About n week ago Sinele presented
two checks at the Citizens National
Bank in Glenwood Springs. SAYS the
Glenwood Post.-one for S25. drawn on
that bank. and another for $21 drawn
on the First National Bank. both bear

respected resident of Rifle.

the checks Were sent to Rifle that the
signatures We're forged, and a still hunt
was begun for the young man. who

The YOUNG Horse.

One thing the young horse should
never know is that there is load in
the world which he cannot pull. Balk-
ers are made, not born, and overload
Ing at first is almost sure to make a
baker of horse. This habit, like hal
ter breaking, is hard to remedy, and
every one owning balky horse knows
the disadvantages connected with it.
Too much care cannot be taken to nev-
or overload young horse. Never load
at first heavier than the horse with
which the youngest is hitched can pull,
and this horse should always be a reli-
able puller Young horses, I think,
should be broken double before being
hitched singly. After a horse is thor
oughly broken double there is seldom
any trouble to break him to drive sim
gly. All young horses should be brok-
en- to drive single, as this is a market
requirement.

Diseases of Aans,

Alternate doses of one drop of bella
donna with one drop of aconite every
four hours have. been known to cure
obstinate cases of roup when all other
remedies have failed This is what is
called the Homeopathic treatment"
Nearly all of the chills and fevers to
which the barnyard fowl is heir may
be treated with the same remedies.
Pneumonia may be very successfully
treated by giving one or two drops of
bryonia in the soft feed two or three
times each day.
Nux vomica is an excellent medicine
for all kinds of arrangements of the
digestive organs and the liver. Give
one or two drops once or twice each
day in the soft feed. Do not think
that remedies will prove continually
effective when improper feeding is
practiced.

Teaching the Colt.

The colt should be taught to under
stand it's owners language and to stop
at the single word hoa." This word
should be spoken plainly, and at the
same time the colt should be snubbed
short as he will soon connect the
word with the event and stop when
the word is given. Follow the same
plan in teaching him to stand over in
the stall or go forward or backward at
command. In doing this the whip has
to be used to some extent. but should
be used sparingly. A severe punish
ment will put the colt on bad terms
with its trainer, which is frequently
fruitful of forming bad habits and
which often reduces the worth of many
valuable horse.-Cor. Farm Progress.

FARnER's r1EETING.
Everyone Should Attend the IN
stitutiOn Next Wednesday.

Everyone who is at all interested in
the business of farming should lay all
cares aside for the day and attend the
Institute to be held at Morris in the
court house hall on June IL 1908.
A day off will do the whole family
good and the information and enthusi-
asm gained will be worth many times
the cost. Farming is no longer the
steady grind and drudgery of old, but is
rather science, Or an industry based
on good sound business principles.
The successful farmer to-day is a
wide awake business man, who uses
his head as well as his hands. A man
may plow two to five acres of land on
Institute day which is worth $3.50 to
$500, but by attending the Institute
he may get suggestion as to the
proper varieties of fruit trees to buy,
the proper selection of seed corn.
some handy arrangement for doing
some piece of farm work, any of
which may be worth many times as
much to him as would the work he
could do in one day.
What he is sure to get is more en-
thusiasm about his work and more
apprecition of what may be accomp-
lished along many lines and in all
probability he will be as far along
with his work in the next ten days as
will the man who keeps his nose ''too
close to the grind-stone." Every far
mer knows this is true. What is true
of the man is true of all the family.
We earnestly urge that every farmer
in this vicinity take advantage of
this opportunity ana bring his wife,
his boys and girls, and spend the day
rubbing up against other people so as
to know what others are doing and
thinking. ,s<.:..s ...
