w.nt.d 10 MAks Sure Of Il

You can t always tell, says an ex-
change, what win happen. For IN
stance, there is a story of man who
is determined to commit suicide. He
went to the store and bought rope, a
can Of oil, box of matches, a dose Of
arsenic and a revolver. He went down
to the river and pushed the boat from
the shore and waded to where a limb
hung over, saturated his clothing with
coal oil lighted a match and set fire to
his clothing, took the dose of arsenic,
put the muzzle of the revolver to his
temple, pushed the boat from under
him, and pulled the trigger But the
bullet glanced and cut the rope above
him, and he fell, kerflop into the river;
the water put out the fire and he got
strangled and coughed mp the arsenic.
He arose and waded out, and declared
himself a candidate for the legislature
on the reform ticket.

TRAINING THE
OK TIE AM.

DRIVING oxen Is as much or sci
ence as driving horses. and In their
education much patience and self con-
troll are required to make a success
and have what we call good team"
says writer in the Breeders Gazette.
Chicago Their education for work
should begin as soon at least as they
are six months old They should be
yoked and handled till they have per-
feet confidence In their driver. They
will learn the words OF command as
quickly as a team OF colts will the bit
and words. Always use the same terms
Of command and attract their atten-
ton with light whip or switch, but
never use the whip. They do not need
it. They are as ready and willing to
obey as a well handled team of horses
and learn the lords OF command the
same as dog or any animal.
Some have an idea that an OK team
Is made to be whipped and yelled at
as loudly as possible, but yoke of
without noise or buster. 1t is ali In
the driver and their early training.
The best OK teamster we ever had
made the least noise and used his
whip the least. He hac yoke of Dew.
ons and would get his load or cart into
place as quickly as or even sooner
than most Of the horse transfers, and
unless one were near and on the watch
one would hardly hear his voice.
Again, in their education careful at
tention should be paid to their walk.
AS this is the only gait they have. 1t Is
very important that they should be
taught 10 walk fast BY inclination they
will not do this unless educated to it.
A careless driver Will soon get an OK
team In the way of loafing along or in
blowing to go so slow as to offset all
other advantages claimed for them, so
that a team educated TO a fast wall is
much more valuable than a slow team.
OF course it's understood that some Of
the large, heavy breeds of cattle can
never be made to walk as fast as the
lighter ones. but even they can be
made faster than their natural inclna-
ton
Often young cattle when first put to
work are overloaded and overworked.
This hurts their courage and will sure
~ lessen their value as a farm team,
Never make them try a load when
they cannot start it by two or three
trials. but rather lessen the load BY
so doing they will get in the way of
always doing their best and will have
the courage to try. well matched.
well broken pair of oxen will do their
work quickly and with all the intelli-
gence of good pair of well broken
work horses and be pleasure to
their driver and owner.
do not think it possible for any one
TO lay down rules for breaking an OK
team. Some are born drivers and love
their team just as much as a good
horseman does and when such driv-
er is given an intelligent pair Of young
oxen 1t win be pleasure to see them
work, and the amount of work they

Feed For Young PICS.

Young pigs need feed richer in pro-
TEN than older hogs. Give during
the summer time alfalfa, clover or
rape pasture. and along with this feed
little cornmeal and skimmik. If
skimmilk is not obtainable, supply the
needed protein by the use Of wheat
shorts or one pound of dried blood
mixed with nine pounds Of corn
meal. which makes an excellent pig
feed.

Eesdina Floors Necessary.

Feeding floors are good things The
man v no feeds his hogs on the
ground usually does so from lack of
better facilities. 1t should be remem-
bered that ii is not any more natural
for hog to pick his feed up out Of
the dirt and mud than for any other
ANNA to do SO. although circum-
stances have in many cases forced
him to adapt himself to such cOndi-
tions. Covered feeding floors are not
so desirable in most respects as the
open kind which are sheltered on the
north ard west. The open floors re
washed off and kept clean and Whole
some more easily. A feeding floor
sixteen feet wide and of length suffi-
cie'.t to accommodate the hogs that
IRE fed and high en-, .-, to clean of
without the refuse piling up at the
tide is nor only u great convenience,
tut a profitable addition to the feed
ing layout.

THE FEEDER.

The overhead rack is a poor place
from which to feed the horse. Be
sides being an unnatural way for the
animal to feed. it causes a great deal
of dust, which is a bad thing.
SiIage For Lambs.
Silage may be fed to lambs in limit
ed quantities. 1t must be remembered
that so per cent of corn silage is
water; consequently the lambs must
have other feed. About two pounds
of corn silage and half pound of dry
hay for roughage is a satisfactory ra-
ton.
