Native Reserve and Conservatism
Keep Them Apart From Whites.
Even among the Five Civilized Tribes
there still remain many communities
wholly full blood. These people drift
together. following their own Ideas OF
life, speaking their own language and
retiring before the whites with the
same strange reserve and pride that
characterized them In their wild state.
Although claiming the name Of sew
eral Christian denominations and fol-
lowing certain beliefs with devout'
ness, their ways Of thinking. their dis
like of innovation and their aversion
to work have made them withdraw
to the mountain districts. Whether
this 30 called reserve comes from pride
or distrust Of the white man or t.
midity or merely a stubborn conserva'
tism. Il produces the same result. the
backward and nonprogressive Indian.
There is. too. certain mystic quality
that holds the Indian aloof. says the
Southern workman-a quality that we
do not understand and with which
there is little sympathy In our every
day life. he Is so much Of philos'
opher that he looks upon our strenu'
Gus life with some contempt. dismiss

Breaking heifers to Milk.

Sometimes we get the notion that
when the little heifer begins to give
milk for the first time she turns into a
perfect terror and must be treated ac-
cordingly. So we turn into terrors our
selves and 60 through some perform
ances that are little less than shameful
in our efforts to prove that we are su-
perior creatures, to whom everything
and everybody must pay allegiance,
even to little heifers.
Now this is all wrong. II We 60
about it right there is no need of having
such time breaking young cows to
milk. We need to begin early. There
never was an animal that could not be
handled better by kindness than by fear
and brute strength. Just let the heifers
know that you are their friend. Stroke
them often. Talk to them as If they un-
derstood all about it. You don't know
how much they really do know of what
you say. Rub their bags, strip their
teats gently all along while they are
getting ready to step over the line to
cowhood.
Then when the critical time does come
there will not be much Of scene. True
il will be something new and you will
need to have patience. Just sit down
carefully, the pail in one hand, using
the free hand to do the milking. Brace
yourself firmly on the stool. Make up
your mind to keep cool. Keep talking
to the little beifer. Carefully draw a
little milk and never mind where it goes
to- That first stream may go into your
bootleg and Ii may 60 into the pail. No
matter Go ahead. 1t will not be
strange if tho heifer tries to push you
off. Don't let her do it. Stick to her
closer than brother. That is just now
the main thing. Hang right to it, like a
dog to the root. The foot will soon
come down. Then get another stream.
And keep on doing SO. There will be
little milk in the pail perhaps when you
are done, but If you have kept your tenn
per and not done anything to hurt or
scare the heifer you have gained q great
point. The next milking things will 60
better.
The satisfaction of having been as
much of man as the heifer is of a COW
is worth everything in situation like
this. Better 60 to the house feeling
that you have held the mastery of your
self, even II you have saved little milk,
than to have lost your temper and raved
around like a mad man and done your
self aud the heifer wrong that neither
Nf you will forget in lifetime.
Three rules, then:
Be gentle beforehand.
Be gentle at milking time.
Be gentle all the way along.-Agri'
ltural Epitomist.

Teaching Horses to Stand.

A team or a single horse that will
stand perfectly still until asked to move
forward, is about as sure q test OF the
kind OF horseman the driver is as can
be found, writes j. w. Sangster in
Canadian Farm. How often do we see
some spirited horse stamping around,
backing up and then straining on the
reins while its driver is alternately jerk
ing at the reins and endeavoring to get
the rug around his knees or assisting
some woman perhaps to get comfortably
seated?
There is a time when this matter can
be remedied. 1t is when the horse is
his first lessons. He should be
taught TO stand absolutely still at all
times, until be receives the word Of com-
mand to move on. Moderately still will
not do. II must be emphasized in the
horses mind that he must not move.
II this is once done, and 1t takes good
mapy lessons to do it, the matter is
practically settled. The horses one
stock in trade is his memory, and he will
afterward stand still, 80 that the driver
can make all preparations in comfort.
Perhaps there is no other thing which
has done more to make nervous women
apprehensive of horses than few ex-
perisuces with those that would moi
stand still while the driver was getting
ready. A horse which dances around al
that time exhibits little appearance OF
being under control of the driver. As
matter of fact he isn't to the same ex-
tent as II he were trained to stand

Raise More haY.

| have been reading considerable
about the raising of different crops here
in Maine. Am glad to see the farmers
wake up and discuss the different
branches Of farming. think 1t a very
good plan to exchange ideas. We can
learn and improve from one another.
There will always be chance for i'm
proyement in all branches of business.
think the Grange ought to do more for
the upbuilding of agriculture. The
time has come when We must make
farming more Of q business. The peo-
ple have to get their food supply from
the farmers and it all depends on the
farmer. We should be increasing our
farm products as the population in
creases. think we are making big
mistake in buying so much of our feed,
we might raise the greater part OF our
grain instead of giving our money to
those western farmers. 1t is habit we
have gotten into, buying so much grain.
think we ought to devote our attention
more to the raising of hay rs we'll as
grain and not get quite 80 crazy over
potatoes, it requires good deal OF time
and attention to raise potatoes, and since
so many farmers have gone into that
business they have neglected other
branches of farming. II we should go
to half the expense in raising hay that
we do in raising potatoes our farms
would be in high state of cultivation.
We should be cutting two and three
tons of hay to the acre. The hay would
be better quality than 1t is now; we
could keep more stock and therefore
have more dressing to put on the land.
am and always was firm believer in
the bay crop. / think can get hun
dred dollars out Of the sale of hay easier
than can any other crop. The cost OF
raising hoed crops is a great deal more
than it was few years ago, while the
cost OF raising hay and grain is no more,
only l think We ought to turn over and
reseed oftener. Farmers reduce their
stock because they haven't hay enough
to feed them. l know of farmers that
were keeping ten and twelve cows three
years ago and had plenty of hay for
them, that are now keeping two or three
and buying bay. How long can we get
along that wayP We never needed the
dressing on our farms more than we do
now, and the surest and best way to get
it is to keep stock.-Cor. Maine Farmer.

Demand for Horses.

The upward trend of values began in
1895, and steady advance in prices has
since featured the industry, until the
appraisal of 1909 reached S10S.19, or a
gain of $40 SS head in twelve years.
A part of the advance is attributable to
the increase in weight and quality OF the
animals, but the broader domestic use
of horses in national industries Is the
primary cause of higher prices. With
an increase of 400,0O0 horses in 1903
there is no evidence in the slackening OF
demand or diminution of prices that
there Is any overproduction.
The agricultural demand for horses Is
largely the potential cause Of sustained
and advancing prices. At the Chicago
market in 1910 a leading demand was
the large volume of orders for horses for
distribution on the farms OF Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and other
states tributary to this great wholesale
market. Many large orders were also
executed for distribution to the Cana
dian Northwest and the Pacific Coast
States for agricultural and breeding pur-
poses. As long as the sources of pro-
duction are leading consumers OF horses
there is no danger of sharp reaction In
values.-The DrOvers' Journal.

Training the Colt.

II
| The training or education of the colt
should be begun at very early age or
as soon as he will take notice OF you IN
the stall with the dam.
Begin by petting it as you would any
other pet, for to have horse that you
can trust in the future can be accom-
plished in no other way than by gaining
its confidence.
When he is two or three weeks old
you should be able to handls his feet
without any trouble, so that they may
be kept cleaned or trimmed as needed.
Put the halter, which should be made
to fit, on when he is about a week old.
| Do not try to lead him at first but leave
the halter on for short time until be
becomes accustomed to it.
When you attempt to lead him If you
pull on the rope gently he will probably
resent and pull back. Take the rope
and say "come;" at the same time pull
firmly an6 quickly so that he will be
obliged to step; then loosen the rope and
pet him. After few times he will lead
readily.
Never pull when he pulls back but
slacken the rope and try again unless
you want halter puller.
Always be gentle and in few days he
will look for your coming with pleasure.
In a short time you can begin to put
some straps on him. Buckle a surcingle
around him and lead him and then a
little later breastplste and so on until
be becomes accustomed to the harness.
/ think il a good plan to hitch him to
- .I.g %hA do 70 70 h.,
given a short, slow drive, so he may be-
come accustomed to the objects along
the road.
When he is about year and one-half
or two years of age biting harness
should be put on and the colt turned
into a small yard for short time each
day This will make him more graceful
in his movements when driven in car
riage.
Be very sure that he will obey the
reins and stop or back before you hitch
him to a carriage and then you may take
a very short ride.
Never oyer-drive Never drive until
he becomes tired or he will not care to
go next time but if he comes in fresh he
will be ready to enjoy another drive at
any time.
am happy to know that the time Of
leaving the colt until three or four years
of age and then breaking him has be-
come thing of the past.
There are no hard and fast rules that
can be followed in training colt but
one must use his best Judgment at all
times. / do not know of any other
thing that will make colt as gentle and
intelligent as to have the children play
with him. In fact if you do not take
care they will have him all trained be-
fore you are aware of the fact.
Finally: Practice kindness always.
Be firm but never harsh. am conviuc-
ed that great deal more can De accom-
plished by kindness than by the use OF
the whip in educating mans best friend
and this conviction has been strengthen
ed by thirty years of practical expert
ence in shoeing, driving and training
colts.-Chas. F. Spiller in Maine Farmer.

The Cow and Her Product.

Here 10 o sample spiel from Prof.
Campbell on the Modern Farming
Special.
1t Is customary for some dairymen to
think that when cow goes dry that
the supply of food can be partially cut
off and often times not even main.
tainance ration is kept up.
This is q mistake. She goes dry 80
that the food nutrients which she has
been using for the production of milk
can be diverted into other channels and
used for the growth of the fetus. If
the food supply is kept up 1t insures q
good vigorous calf, and also allows the
cow to get into condition for the work
that is to follow after parturition. A
COW that has sprung good large udder
and Is in good physical condition is
ready to produce the most that Is in
her. Just previous to calving all heat
producing foods like corn meal should
be left out of the ration. Bran Is cool
ing and a laxative. Frequent bran
mashes should be used and some kind of
a succulent food as mangels or grass.
This keeps the COW in natural laxative
and tends to prevent trouble at calving
time.
After the cow has calved she should
be- carefully fed until all fever has left
the udder. Bran mashes are again used
and she is fed about the same as before
parturition. Then the ration is gradual
ly increased not over a pound at time.
The milk record should be carefully
watched and will serve as a guide in the
increasing of the grain. Frequently 8
or weeks should be used In bringing
her to a full feed. It is easy for the
feeder to see how much increase in pro-
duction a pound of extra grain will
make If it has produced profit. The
ration can again be increased and the
COW allowed to come to her maximum
flow on that and then 1t Is determined
II profit has resulted. By this method
the point of economic production is de-
termined. OF course with very pro-
ficient mixer the point of economic pro-
duction may call for more feed than the
COW ought to have for her own physical
good. But this will only be occasional
ly. By following this method it will be
found that some cows are not fed as
much as they can pro6tably use while
others are eating more than they are
paying for, but IL fed carefully would
return a profit. The milk records will
also tell the feeder other things about
his COW. 1t will if carefully watched
point out to him the COW that is not
feeling just right. 1t will bring the
feeder and cow into more intimate ac-
auaintauce with each other and help
him to study each individual animal.
In closing, l would say, keep careful
record of the milk and butter fat pro-
duced by each COW. Study the in
diyidual animal. Know what it costs to
feed her and determine the profit she is
producing. Take more pains with her
at calving time. Make the ration palst-
able, make the grain ration somewhat
bulky. Study the different foods you
are using aud the analysis of them, and
grow as many of these feeds as you can
on your own farm.
