There's wonderful difference be-

and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much We
eat unless we can digest it. 1t Is

1t is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Don't forget to sponge the horse un.
der his tail. 1t helps TO cool and rest
him.
Shake the bedding, either straw or
shavings, every morning, and remove
the litter.
Take the chill off the water before
letting your horse drink it after long
firing drive.
Curry lightly over the ribs and belly
of horse, for they are tender and
ticklish places.
Don't give warm horse more than
two or three swallows of water until
he has cooled off.

ers. Cattle feeding is likely to prove
profitable business next year for the

CORN FOR PIGS ON PASTURE.
Keep the Animals Fed Up, II You
Would Realize Profit.

With the high price of corn great
many farmers will be tempted to run
their pigs through on clover pastures,
or on rape or other artificial pasture,
and finish them off after the new corn
is ready, says Wallace's Farmer. We
do not say that this is not wise plan
under many conditions. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, that If farm
ers generally in the corn belt adopt
this method this year there will be
great scarcity of hogs in the early part
of the season. and a glut when the
hogs come in that have been fattened
solely on new corn. 1t is quite pos
sible TO carry pigs through in this way
at the minimum of expense.
Where farmers have alfalfa or good
clover they can make a fair growth
on pigs without any grain, but they
cannot make a rapid growth, nor,
indeed, as rapid as desirable, for the
reason that the feed is so bulky and
so watery that the pig cannot possibly
hold enough to make the food of in
crease in addition to the food of sup
port. In short it takes nearly all that
it can eat of this kind of feed simply
to run the machine. Hence farmers
who have plenty of alfalfa pastures
find it profitable to feed their pigs a
half ration of corn.
The same is true of clover pastures,
making the food of support from the
cheap grass and adding enough grain
TO make rapid increase. Good clover
and corn are in themselves n fairly
well balanced ration; but its value
can be increased by adding about a
pound Of oil meal to every five or six
pounds of corn This will bring hogs
up to marketable size a good while
before those that are stocked through
can be put in condition for market

feeding is done this stocking through

pigs to market his corn, and who
feeds largely on corn, cannot afford
TO make these weights. He finds II
more profitable to turn them on the

TRAINING THE COLT.
Matters Which Are Of Prime Int
portance.

In the first place teach the colt
that you are his superior. This can be
done much easier when the youngster
Is small Put on soft, properly Mt
ting halter; get him thoroughly used
to this, but in doing this do not tie up
to something solid and leave, other

self. but lead it quietly around the
stall or yard beside It's mother, and
It will only be short time before the
youngster will understand what you
want when you pull on his halter
shank and is nicely broken to lead;
teach him that you will not hurt him,
but that It is useless for him to try
to get away
This is great age Of education.
AS 1t is with people so it is with live
stock; the early education is the most
impressive and lasting, therefore,
since the horse is the servant of man,
he must be trained in order TO be
valuable servant. In training colt
| il is necessary to get on friendly
| terms, as loud or unkind treatment
| tends to drive the colt in n direction
opposite to that you would have him
go and make him do things just the
opposite from what you want.
Every animal has more or less OBJ
stinacy in its nature. Get hold of n
cats tail and her first idea is to pull
away, or try to lead calf 1t will brace
itself and offer all the resistance in its
power: the young colt will do the
same thing If gone at in the same way.
AS colt reaches maturity its
strength increases very rapidly, and IL
horse is to become a good work
horse this obstinate nature must be
more or less overcome.
There is no more Objectionable habit
that a horse can have than to be
halter breaker, or to be ready to offer
resistance every time anything out OF
the ordinary comes up, says Indiana
Farmer. If anyone should doubt this
let him undertake to break a five
year-old ranch horse that never knew
what submission was, and the lesson
will be very thoroughly impressed: II

THE COLTS FEET.
See That the Hoof Develops Sym.
metrically.

Colts feet during the winter and
spying often grow out long and
sometimes to one side. 1t is not un-
frequent to see a colts hoof grow
very much faster on one side than
the other and cause what might al
most be called crooked foot. Even
If they grow straight and their toes
are allowed to grow out long, ii
brings an unnatural strain on the
tendons which results in lameness.
Ordinarily they will break off of
their own accord, but not as you
would like TO see them. Before
colts are turned to pasture their feet
should be trimmed and leyeled up.
This precaution will frequently save
a permanent blemish. In trimming
do not rub them off too short, but
leave a natural shaped foot; neither
In leyeling the soles should the bars
OF the hoof be cut away.

Breeders Association and the Nat

The Improvement of the human
race depends largely upon two great
factors, heredity and environment"
he said, and we deal chiefly with
the question of heredity"
DIR. Bell suggested that Congress
should provide for an clinical survey
of the people of the United States
to determine which foreign elements
are beneficial to our population, and
which are harmful. The grand spec
tacle,' he said, is presented to our
eyes of a new people being gradually
evolved in the United States by the
mingling together of the different
races of the world in varying pro-
portions 1t is of the greatest con-
sequence to US that the final result
should be the evolution of a higher
and nobler type of man in America,
