HINTS FOR FARMERS
Feed for Draft Colts.

AS soon as colt will eat grain feed
him all he wants in a separate box
from his mother. Oats, bran, molasses

meal fed once a, day will make a great
Improvement in the, appearance of the
colt AS the colt grows increase the
feed. The feed won't hurt him, and
the more he is fed the quicker he will
become horse. Many persons think
that because a colt is little he requires
a small ration, but these same people
always kick about their colts being
runty and small, while their neighbor,
who gives his colt plenty Of feed, has
big boned colts, with good square
bodies to go with them.
1t is not saving of grain to cut
down on the feed of colts, because it
takes more than the feed saved to
bring them out of this dwarfed stage,
and it is well known fact that colt
can be made to weigh more by sys-
tematic feeding than by feeding heavily
for awhile, then feeding him a cut
down ration, them back to good feed

DISCOVERY OF WISCONSIN.

State Will Pay Tribute to Explorer at
Celebration of the Event.
To mark the first visit of the white
man to Wisconsin a celebration will
be held at Green Bay, Wis, on Aug.
10, II and 10. 1t was 275 years ago
this summer that this event happened.
Jean Nicollet, an explorer who stood
high in favor with Samuel de Cham
plain, then governor of New France
undertook the perilous task of tracing
the region about the great lakes. He
1t was who went to the shores of
Green Bay and was greeted by the
Winnebago Indians, who were known
as 1.-THE mysterious tribe. Of the wild
erness" :
Among other events that marked the
intrepid explorers visit to Wisconsin
was the exploding of the theory that
those who inhabited the region about
the great lakes We're of Chinese origin.
In connection with the celebration
planned there will be unveiled at Red
Banks a beautiful bronze tablet and
another on the site of several ancient
forts Many prominent men will take
part in the exercises.

Advantage of Diskinq.

Disking after harvest is now being
recommended by men of study and ex-
perience as an important preliminary
treatment of wheat hand. The advan-
'tages Of this practice can be readily
understood when we remember that
usually at harvest the soil is free from
weeds and in good condition to plow.
Soon after harvest and before it CANAL
be plowed. and especially If there Is
wet spell, the weeds grow and inter
fere with the blowing, especially the
Russian thistle. What is worse yet,
they take away moisture which should
be saved for the succeeding crop If,
on the other hand, there is drought in
stead OF wet weather, with weeds or
without weeds, the land becomes too
dry for best results In blowing. and the
blowing breaks it into great clods or
else this operation must be deferred
until another good rain, which may
come or may not before seeding time.

Haruestina Fodder Corn.

Fodder corn, when sown in drills,
should be harvested with corn bind
err, but can be harvested quite success
fully with an open elevator grain bind
err, writes correspondent OF Orange
Judd Farmer. The bundles should be
Of medium size. Let them lie on the
ground for a day or two to sun cure.
They will then be only half as heavy
as they were when cut, which means
only half as much work when shock
ing.
The shocks should be big, thirty-five
to fifty bundles per shock. Set the
bundles quite perpendicular, fill up all
holes. have the outside row particu-
larly tight and make the whole shock
as nearly symmetrical as possible.
Draw the tops tightly together with p
rope having hook or pulley attached
to one end and tie with binder twine.

Wisconsin,s MIR Law.

Wisconsin has passed a new law to
prevent the sale of unclean and in
sanitary milk and its use in the man
ufacture of products. Reasonable
lighting and ventilation must charac-
terize barns, and milk taken from a
COW where the stables are filthy or
kept and transported in dirty vessels,
milk that is stale or with any foreign
substance in it, is declared insanitary.
The law further provides that cream
separators shall be thoroughly cleans
ed after use. A penalty of not less
than $25 nor more than 500 for each
separate offense or jail sentence vary
ing from thirty to sixty days is pro-
vided to make the law effective.

Keep the Hsnhouse Clean.

Z Cleanliness is an. important factor in
maintaining the health of poultry. It
should be made rule to daily gather
up the droppings and cover the drop
ping boards under the roosts with sift-
ed coal ashes or dirt Plenty of kero-
sene should be used onSthe roosts and
in the nest boxes, and every spring and
fall the interior Of the houses should
he whitewashed and several times a
year the premises fumigated by burn-
ing sulphur The drinking fountains,
too, must be kept clean and the water
never allowed to- become stagnant. =

SAVING Younu Trees.

I In the summer time the young trees
suffer most from the droughts. The
trees grow lively in the early spring,
when rains are frequent; then when
the heated summer months come and
the rains cease the trees lack moisture
and become stunted or perish. In UNI
irrigated countries the best way to pre-.
serve the life of the tree in dry times
is by mulch. 1t may be of straw or
old refuse hay. Even weeds that have
been mown about the place make a
very good mulch. Pile the mulch thick
about the tree as soon as the weather
turns off dry. The moisture will be
maintained and the tree will not
perish. r.

In 1t was capital Of II cents.
The capitalist was Jackson Bascom,
over whose towey head almost four
years had passed Ten cents Of the
money had been tossed before him by
passing horseman. who had seen the
old mannish looking baby perched on
the low top bar that helped to fill a
gap in the wire fence and wanted to
see 'the little fellow smile a dimes
worth" as he expressed it,
Jackson had tumbled from the bar
with a shout, picked up the two nick
els and put them into the gourd
bank with the penny which had been
the banks sole capital for many day
before that
1t was a little more than a week
after the time of the banks great in
crease in capital when Conway and
Nickerson drew rein before the wealth

Jackson had been perched upon the
bar until within quarter of an hour
of their arrival. He had been startled
from his perch by cry Of alarm from
Lyddy in the house. Poor. weak,
worn. hopeless Mrs. Bascom had fallen

to address the man who rode beside
him, II hain't felt so much like a boy

They were rough bearded, carelessly
dressed men with sun Drowned faces
and toll hardened hands, but they
were as happy as kings in purple and
fine linen. They were going home.
For almost one-half their lives they
had called wherever they happened to
be in the west "home," but now they
were on their way back to the place
where they were born.

the longer a man stays away from the
old home neighborhood the better he
likes it. When left it l was SO tired

comrade more.

awhile every old tree an rock an
slope an medder that he ort to have
forgotten long ago kinder-kinder
seems like a brother"
ga man gifts kinder hungry to see
'em again." said Conway.
"Yep; kinder hungry"
They said no more for some time
after that, but did not resume theil
whistling

we tell 'em who we are?" said Nicker
son after awhile.

ones won't know us. But the old hills

from above the western edge of the

road never came. When the claim be-
came his own Bascom mortgaged it
and dribbled away the proceeds.
By and by he died, leaving broken
down, heartsick woman and half help
less children.
The future held but little promise
for them. Before long the mortgage
on the homestead would fall due, and
they knew from the first that they
would not be able to satisfy it. The
home would have to go.
Mrs. Bascom had longed to return to
the old hcme state, at first hopefully.
then doubtfully, and at last in dreary
hopelessness. The longing at last be-
came almost monomania with the
poor woman.
