! The time to start a colt In the way
| 1t should go is when 1t is young. The

The draft colt needs grain feed and
he needs plenty Of 1T. High class
drafters never were raised by the star

will frequently be the making Of the
colt.

stumbling block in the way of improve

The sows bred for fall filters should
have good range and plenty Of grow
ing feed. Pigs farrowed during the
latter part Of August or early Septem-
Der are often very profitable II prop
erly cared for during the winter.
Don't make the young breeding
boars too fat and above all be sure
they have plenty OF range and green
forage. Bone, muscle and vigor, are
the things to get in breeding stock
This does not mean that the pigs
should be in poor flesh however.
Over-stocking Of pastures should not

Pure bred cattles sales show a
healthy demand in most cases and at
better figures than last year. 1t seems
to be an opportune time to get good
cattle.
AT an auction sale Of Jerseys re-
Gently in Pennsylvania an average
price Of s647 was secured. The de-
mand for dairy cattle of the proper
sort is very strong.
Good calves may be raised by the

the result Of improper feeding. Either
overlooking or poorly balanced rations
or both is usually the cause.

Dry Farming.

The man who succeeds in establish
ing home in any dry farming" dis
trict of the west and makes his farm
pay must have a capital of at least
$1,000. This is the statement of John
4. Burns, secretary of the Dry Farm
ing Congress, who went to Chicago re-
Gently to prevent further immigration
into the west of people who have not
sufficient funds to make good" Mr.
Burns will appeal to the railroad off,
cials and the reputable land man to
assist him in his work.
DRY farming is a success in many
of the western and southern states,
said Mr.. Burns. ut is rapidly becom-
ing almost an exact science, and even
where the precipitation Is only seven
and one-fourth inches, in Texas, care
full cultivation under dry farming
methods is making the land pay hand
somely. But this kind of farming re-
quires a little capital and considerable
study. After man has made his
first payment and has his family and
household goods on the ground he
should still have at least $1,000 left to
buy machinery, three horses and
enough to live on for a year or eigh-
teen months. 1t takes at least this long
to develop dry farm. Some land men
are bringing people into the west with
little or no capital. For such settlers
on dry farms there can be nothing but
failure and pauperization. The whole
west Is injured by these failures, anc
that is why we want to prevent them
The Dry Farming Congress is investi-
eating to find out the quantity Of LAND
and the districts or divisions in which
this kind of farming is possible We
are doing this also to prevent frauds
upon the land buyers"
The above is a most commendable
move, and one worthy Of every en-
couragement by every fair minded
man among u.s.

So far the only official acreage that

Sweet Corn. For Selling.

A small. rich field near the cattle
yards planted to sweet corn will fur
nish a large amount of very accept
able fodder for all classes Of cattle
and at a season Of the year when the
pastures are liable to be failing. The
corn is best planted thickly in drills
and thoroughly cultivated until the
corn leaves shade the ground. Feed
ing may be begun when the ears are
beginning to form. A few stalks for
each head thrown into the yard will
be greatly relished and will be eaten
up Clearly The milk flow of COWS
may be maintained and the growth of
the young stock kept up for several
weeks by thus handling sweet corn.
A couple of acres will furnish feed
for eight or ten cows from July
to September. Early sweet corn will
be ready for cutting by the 4th of
July. 1t is sometimes advisable to also
plant some later, larger growing va
rieties as a greater amount of feed
may be grown per acre. Soiling is one
of the mainstays of intensive farming
and will be practiced more and more
as land gets higher priced and farms
smaller.
