What does it cost to raise colt to
the age of four years? Wallace's
Farmer gives the following:
The first and second years it is
no more expensive to grow a colt than
steer. A colt may require little
more pasture and will require rather
better fencing, but will stand hard
ship better than the yearling steer,
although, to get the best results, both
of them must have some grain in
connection with forage, Give the
colt winter pasture of blue grass or
second crop clover, plenty of exercise
and shelter in time of storms, and he
will do better and be carried through
at less expense than the steer.
At two years old, if not before, the
steer must be put on feed, and 1t will
cost at least fifty bushels of corn with
other feed to fit him for the market.
The FLY at two years old may be bred
if she has been well fed and nour-
ished; if not, then at three years old.
She should be able to pay her way in
the way of light work; and where the
farmer has surplus, should be sold
to some man who can work her or the
gelding for two years, making them
pay expenses, and sell them on the
market at a higher price than they
cost in the three-year-old form.
We think, therefore, that there is
good profit to any farmer in raising
colts for the market, provided he
limits his operations tc the number
of mares kept on the farm. In fact,
he should keep three brood mares
where he really needs but one. He
can afford to do this if he will mate
them every year with the right sire.
The greatest profit to the ordinary
farmer lies in growing draft colts,
and the heavier the better, provided
they are sound. The 1900 pound
mare mated to an 1900 or 1000
pound stallion will produce a type
OF colts which, if properly nourished
and cared for, will bring, if net the
highest price in the market, yet a
price that will abundantly pay the
farmer for his feed and care. The
greatest care, however, should be ex-
ercised in securing soundness. No
mare should be used for breeding
purposes that has any defects capable
of transmission by heredity; for in
stance, moon-blindness or defects of
the bony system. SPAWN may not be
transmitted, and perhaps is not, but
the weakness that develops spawn IN
doubtedly is inherited.

AN INCENTIVE AT LAST.
Old Codger Decided to Live After Discover.
ing the PapaW.

II tell you, Sam, when man gets
to be seventy-four years old, and has
quit business, and there isn't any
body depending on him for living,
he oughtn't to want to hang on any
longer. He's lived four years longer
than the Psalmist thinks he ought to-,
and he's in the peoples way"
Thus spoke Uncle Jared, as he sat
on the front porch of his nephew's
cozy home in Ohio, one afternoon in
late October, when the air was full
of the dreamy haze of Indian sum-
mer. To the ordinary mortal it was
a joy merely to be alive.
"Pve heard you talk that way be-
fore, uncle" said his nephew, "and
it isn't reasonable. Seventy-four
years is not so awfully old. OF
course, you've spent nearly all of that
time in northeastern Maine, but even
that ought not to make you tired Of
living, and"
Northeastern Maine is just as
good locality to live in as any on
EARTH" interrupted the elderly man,
with some asperity.
well, whether it is or not, you are
still healthy, and have the use of all
your faculties. You ought to want
to live to good old age, and en-
joy"
Whats that you're eating,
Ceorgie3" broke in the old GENTLE
man, turning to one Of his grand
nephews, who had just come in from
long walk, and had thrown himself
into che hammock.
Its "a papaw, uncle" responded
George.
What's papaw?"
"Well, it's-it's just papaw.
Try one"
Uncle Jared gingerly inspected the
oblong, greenish-yellow specimen Of
Western fruit the boy handed him.

Poultry Pointers.

We not only want fancy poultry,
but poultry which combines fancy and
utility, thereby having show fowl
and market fowl in one bird.
Fowls should have green feed in
winter time, and for good feed plant
oats in part of the yard and you will
be surprised how they will eat it,
What is best for the fowls is a
change of food about two times a
week. They like change as we'll as
people do, and they will show you
their appreciation by filling the egg
basket for you.
We do not want a ninety-f1ve or
ninety-six point bird that has no other
qualities, but we want birds that will
score high and produce eggs as well.
When we breed for both points we
are upbuilding the industry.
Where most Southern people make
their mistake is in feeding too much
corn. Corn is good when fed right,
but if fed to excess it is very harmful,
because of it's fat producing proper
ties; and when you get lot of over
fat hens you will surely have an
empty egg basket. Oats is an excel
lent feed and should be fed in litter
to make the fowls scratch for it.
Chop is another good feed, as is mash
feed.-N. E. Walton, in Progressive
Farmer.

he may, without intending it, bring
ruin and distress to others where he
expected only to gain power, fame
and wealth for himself.
But in either case the tempting OPP
.portunity will not be offered without
avail and adequate return to those
who undertook the task. When the
misguided forcos, or those which are
not sufficiently under control, break
loose, the intellect of the world be-
gins to apply itself to the solution
Of the new problem offered by power
and opportunity. If the disaster was
the result of wisdom not fully devel-
oped and foresight not sufficiently
extended, the world will soon see and
understand, and men, learning by
their mistakes or giving place to
those who are better trained for the
task, will prepare the way for results
Such as those which come when men
teach the floods to flow through their
proper channels and distribute them
SIN the thirsty deserts. If the trouble
came upon the world because greed
and selfishness presided at the task,
then, as we have seen it happen in the
last ten years, the intellect and the
conscience of the world will recog-
nize the opportunity, but will insist
that it shall not be exploited by any
man or any set OF men for selfish pur-
poses in contempt of those to whom
blessings are due from any great
forth-putting of human power and the
release of natural forces.
Most of the troubles which have
come upon us since the beginning of
the twentieth century are not the re-
suit of degeneration; they are not
brought upon up by increase of wick
edness; they do not threaten the
downfall of civilization; they do not
have power to perpetuate themselves
as a task and burden upon future
generations. They are the result of
tempting opportunities which are not
exhausted, but only indicated by our
brief experience since the discovery
of the world began in the middle Of
the last century, hrictian Register.

ton for time until all the facts are
laid bare, you may rest assured of the
hearty support of serious thinking
people who have given the matter
attention, by having been brought
face to face with facts
AS scavenger, the buzzard un-
doubtedly has had his place, but un-
questionably he is to-day one of the
greatest spreaders Of infectious dis
eases among domestic animals, and
any possible service the buzzard can
render as scavenger is far out
weighed by the seriousness of out
breaks of deadly diseases, which he
undoubtedly spreads from place to
Face. Such resistent organisms as
those producing anthrax, blackleg,
hog cholera and tuberculosis, besides
host of others, may be conveyed
for long distances and deposited on
heretofore non-infected ground,
hence the mysterious outbreaks to
which we are too, frequently sub
jected
The writer can recall the outbreak
of blackleg on farm where the dis
ease had not before been known to
exist. Upon investigation it was
found that during the previous fall
and winter numerous buzzards had
been in the habit of frequenting the
small range occupied by the calves,
while at five miles distance numerous
cattle had died from the disease and
were left to be deyoured by buzzards.
On farm in Eastern Virginia hog
cholera made a sudden appearance,
yet no cholera had existed to the own
er's knowledge within several miles.
No fresh pigs had been brought in
nor were there known any other
means by which the disease could pos
sibly have been imported except by
buzzards. These are costly expert
ences.
Mr.. Editor, advocate the proper
disposal and destruction of all dead
animals, also the early destruction of
one of the greatest enemies the stock
raiser has to contend with to-day in

How Hay Raising Depletes the Soil.

In general, l do not think it wise
for farmers to run their lands in a
long rotation, or to keep them in
grass for moving for long time,
writes Professor Massey, in Pro-
gressive Farmer. The main need of
all the Southern uplands is a restora-
tion of the humus, and hence short
rotation in which the kgumes come
in often is better than leaving the
land in grass for several years.
Some of the worst depleted lands
in Pennsylvania are the naturally
strong soils north of the city of Phil
adelphia, where the farmers have
been making hay for the city market
and haYe run their lands in grass as
long as they could get ton per acre,
till the land has gotten into such a
condition that they cannot make
crop of clover on it.
Moving hay from land year after
year is just as bad as getticg any
other crop off the land continuously,
and single cropping in hay will run
the land down as well as single crop
ping in anything else.
The Southern uplands need legumes
more than grass, and for horned
stock, cowpea hay and crimson clover
hay are immensely better thar any
grass hay. and these have the adj
vantage that if the supply of phos-
phoric acid and potash is maintained,
they will do away with the need of
buying nitrogen.

The Temptation
Of Opportunity.

One Of the most characteristic as
poets of the present tiIae is the en-
largement of opportunities of every
kind and the increase o. the number
of them. Any young person who has
courage. ability, and suitable train
ing may now begin life V it'll such OPP
portunities as never invited or
tempted the youth of any age before
since the world began. All the world
is open and youth has now every
where to choose, and everywhere the
invitation comes from nature and
human life to enter upon the develop
ment and control of such forces ply
steal, commercial, social, intellectual
and religious, as were never presented
before.
The difficulty and the danger is
caused by the fact that these oppor-
tunities often come to persons of sa-
gacity who are not "all-around men, !"
who are not trained in heart, mind,
conscience and active powers to ac-
cept the tasks of masterful perform
ers on the stage of life, and this to
do Justice to all those who are af-
fected by the release and control of
mighty energies.
Some years since it was seen that
by damming, controlling and releas-
ing the waters of the Colorado River
in southern California and Mexico a
vast tract of land which was hot,
arid and uninhabitable, might become
fertile valley, giving homes and sus-
tenance to millions. The opportunity
was great, the power to be controlled
and regulated was as great as the OPP
portunity, but failure came in the
mind and executive ability of the men
who were drawn to this great task.
The waters escaped their control, and,
where they intended to irrigate flow
ering gardens and fruitful planta-
lions, they let loose a devastating
flood, which burst all barriers and
threatened to establish in place of the
desert an inland sea. In time the in
tellect of man solved the problem,
met the opportunity with due achieve
ment, and now the original promise
is in the way of fulflment.
In social life, in the financial world,
in industrial operations, in the con-
troll and release of natural forces,
and in the chances of government the
world over, similar opportunities
tempt the strong, defeat the unwary
and bring into the life of mankind
amazing benefits, mingled with
wrongs of many kinds, catastrophes
which are heart-breaking and viola
tions of the established laws of right
eousness and truth which seem to
threaten universal deterioration and
downfall to established institutions.
A man may plan wisely to bring
new benefit to mankind through his
exploits in the Industrial world.
He may see how benefit can be
brought to many men by new plans,
by increase of power, and by the CO.
ordination of forces. But the oppor-
tunity being new and great, his power
limited or unknown, and his training
for the great new task incomplete,
| he may, like the men who let loose
the Salton Sea, work devastation and
havoc where he expected only benefit
and blessing. This may happen IL he
is good and wise man. If he lack
