Don't Neglect the Colt

The farmer owning 40 acres or more
of land, who does not raise at least
one colt every year is not doing his
best. The mare will do most kinds Of
farm work and raise her colt without
much loss of time. If the colt is prop
erly handled from the beginning 1t
will not give much trouble. Never al
low It to run after its mother when she
is working. This worries and frets the
mare, and 1t wears out the colt. Keep
it at the barn, loose in box stall, and
tempt it with little clover hay and
oats. Early colts will be weaned pret-
ty soon now. II they have been
brought up to this point right, wean-
ing does not mean much. Feed more
frequently with sweet clover hay, oats
and corn, and the colt will soon be
able to take care OF itself. Keep 1t In
the barn at night aud allow 1t to run
with other young stock in the pasture
during the day.-Indiana Farmer.

Gla SIS Clothinu.

Spinning glass for practical uses
was very well known by the ancient
Egyptians, and we are now rediscov-
ering it. Spun glass has long been
known as suriosity. A Frenchman
in the middle of the last century de-
veloped the process along commercial
lines, but died without revealing his
secrets. These seem, however, to
have been recently rediscovered in
Germany.
Glass thus drawn out into very thin
threads is flexible and it is thought it
will be possible to spin and weave It
into clothes. These garments would
be incombustible, non-colducting, and
impervious to acids. They can be
beautifully tinted by using tinted
glass. The insulating properties Of
the glass-wool would render it valua-
bic as packing where it is desirable to
keep in OF exclude heat. In this case
we should be resorting to the mineral
kingdom for. our clothes, though as yet
we have not got those asbestos gar
ments which could be washed by
throwing them on the fire.-Pittsburg

ers to silo their corn crop when they

covered with dry straw or old hay make
a good floor. Spread the hay over the
entire floor surface, on a layer OF straw
or other dry material. Use barrels or
boxes as recommended for ventilation
in the barn, and lower the roof until
the second cutting. For such a roof the
covering should be of some such ma
terial as ruberoid, and the rafters need
not be heavy except about every Six

easily adjusted to the supports. When

New Watch For the Blind.

To enable the blind to tell the
time by specially constructed watch
various devices have been invented.
The latest, Of German origin, Is o
watch which instead Of the twelve
figures on its face has twelve knobs.
BY an ingenious mechanism each
knob in succession sinks for an hour
into the dial. The usual watch ring
being at the XII, the blind person
feels along the face of the watch un-
til he comes to the space where the
knob has disappeared. This indicates
the hour. The ordinary minute hand
is represented by Shorter and
stronger indicator, wa1ich is raised go

ManaeIs or Turnips for Cows.

Where silos are not had to provide
succulent feed for diary COWS, many
do the next best thing by growing tur-
nips or mangels. There is always the
one objection to turnips-the risk OF
tainting the milk; and especially does
this turnip flavor develop in butter af-
ter it is held some time. It. is claimed
that If you feed turnips directly after
the morning milking there is no dan
ger of taint; however, we would not
care to risk our reputation as butter
maker on it. If you cannot put up
silage and must have something else,
why not raise mangels. You can raise
more of them to the acre than you can
turnips, and you can avoid the risk OF
turnip taint. But whatever you do,
don't fail on a good store of succulent
feed for next winter. Cows do their
best when on clover, You can provide
sweet clover hay for next winter, but
succulence must come from some other
source.-Indiana Farmer.

The Profitable Turkey.

The turkey is one of the most profit
able of all classes of domestic fowls
They are only adapted to the farmer
who has an unlimited range for them.
but on such a range they will do an
immense amount of good during tho
summer season by destroying grass
hoppers and other insects, turning
these into flesh that is always in de-
mand for good prices. 1t is probable
that a pound of turkey meat can be
produced on a farm as cheaply as a
pound of pork; but even If 1t cost
much more it would still be profitable,
for turkeys always sell for much more
han hogs.
May is a good month in which to
hatch turkeys as the young turkeys
come out just when the weather 10
settled and steadily warm and insects
become plentiful.
For the last three years dressed tur-
keys have retailed all the way from
19 to 26 cents pound, owing to their

dition has stimulated the raising OF
turkeys to a marked degree, and the
writer has Hsen one of those who has
been tempted, by reason of the high
prices. to engage in the industry.
At the outset, it must be said that
ones knowledge of raising chickens,
no matter how extended that knowl-
edge may be, or how successful one
may have been, is not of much value
when it comes to raising young tur-
keys. Their nature is so different and
the method of caring for them so dif-
ferent that one must learn it as a bus
mess distinct and separate from that
of chicken raising. We do not say one
can not combine the two, for we be-
lieve it can be done successfully.
One may take a brooder full OF
chicks, and, provided they are well
hatched and vigorous, can, by the US
ual care and attention, raise the ma
jority to maturity, but not so with
turkeys. He can hatch the eggs in an
incubator with good success as tur-
key eggs are usually better fertilized
than hens eggs but he can not con-
fine them in brooder runs, and unless
he has broody turkeys or hens to
mother them when hatched he may
lose the greater portion. They must
be given their liberty at very early
age. as the wild instinct, especially In
the bronze variety, is so strong that,
unless given their freedom to roap
and forage over fields and pasture.
they will sicken and die.
Turkeys are more creatures of hab-
it than any other of our feathered
fowls yet, while they will roam over
the prairie during the day in search
of food, they will always come home
at night if one will make practice OF
feeding them, however lightly. We
have never been troubled by their
staying away at night, for as soon as
they return, about sunset, we immed-
lately take dish Of grain and they
follow us straight into their house,
knowing they will receive small ra-
ton of food. indianapolis News.

Methods of Poultry Management.


The work in poultry management at
the Maine Experiment Station has been
of great value to poultrymen, especial
ly those located in the colder portions
of the United States. Systematic work
with Plymouth Rock hens was begun
more than ten years ago with view
to an increase in the yield Of eggs, and
to developing the most satisfactory
methods of Matching, rearing, feeding,
etc.
An interesting feature of the work Is
the use Of trap nests. A band with
number is placed on the leg OF each
hen. The nest boxes are constructed so
that the hen as she goes in springs
trap which closes door after her,
and she remains a prisoner until re-
leased by an attendant. In this way,
a exact record of the egg laying OF each
hen is secured, and the experimenter is
able to select the best for breeding
purposes.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has issued for free distrib-
ution a Farmers Bulletin describing
the Methods of Poultry Management at
the Main Station. He describes in de-
tail the construction of the buildings
used, especially those known as eur
tain front" houses; the methods OF
feeding; the use of disinfectants, etc.
1t contains many ideas and suggestions
that will prove helpful to the practi-
cal poultry raiser.

How many raisers test the eggs they
guarantee to be fresh?
When hen is not kept we'll she
can't be expected to do we'll.
1t is said to be best to start raising
poultry in the fall rather than IN
spring.
Try shaving some young sweet corn,
or even field corn, for the young chicks
and see how they will go for 1t.
Make the best of what room you
have, but above all things don't try to
keep too many fowls on small place.
You don't have to wait for the in
