Feeding and Training Colts.

Feed is high, but so are horses, and
even the chronic grumblers have
stopped saying that it does not pay to
raise colts. There is no denying that
1t pays better to raise the heavy
breeds than the trotting-bred colt
Nine out of ten of the former are
prizes, where only now and then a
trotter is developed. The trotter re.
quires special training; the drafter
needs only use to make him saleable
at a good price. Somebody asks If II
is true that at present prices for feed
a colt will "eat his head off" in a few
months? 1t all depends upon how he
is fed.
A yearling may be kept well, which
means kept growing, at not to eX.
ceed from 50 to $3.50 per month
while in stable, and for much less
when at pasture. A favorite ration
is a pint of ground oats, the same OF
bran and half a gill of oil meal,
twice a day, made into a thin cruel
with water and spread on the hay
feed. II hay is high, feed oat straw
in its place il bright and clean. Do
not give the colts any dusty food, and
see to it that they do not become con.
stipated. Linseed meal, roots, corn.
stalks and apples are useful to pre-.
vent this danger.
The main thing is to keep the
youngster growing, and to see that he
has no backset. Stunted colts, like
stunted children, will carry the i'll
effects of early malnutrition as a
handicap all through life.
Next to sensible feeding is intelli-
gent handling of the colts. This
should begin early and be carried on
with patience and good sense. Kind
ness allied to firmness is the great
essential in the training of colt In
the way you want him to go. A
brawling, impatient, headstrong man
can very soon turn a likely colt into
vicious and worthless imitation OF
himself.-Weekly Witness.

A Fine Effect Secured.

The alliance of foulard and satin Is
one of the most noticeable features in
the new seasons fashions. The color
| of the satin is usually suggested by
the pattern on the foulard, and black
satin, too, takes a prominent place in
the new combination. A handsome
costume shows black satin used in
combination with black and white
foulard. The satin forms the deep
hem which comes to the knees al
most, satin in soft folds swathes the
waistline, and It is used for the. lower
part of the sleeves.
A narrow line of the black satin
also borders the top of the corsage
below a short vest and collar of white
, mousseline de sole.
The foulard bodice is cut in one
with the upper sleeves, and an inset
of cabochons In smoky shades of blue
centres the front with pretty effect.
These cabochons. in small round sizes
are used as a border above the hem
and round the corsage, while band
of lace in a new shape comes round
the bodice ON the left side and runs
down the front of the skirt to the
side, where 1t is caught up with a
large blue cabochon.
The hat is Ia the black satin, the
white, black and blue shades of the
dress being introduced in the ostrich
plume. The new shoulder wrap
which accompanies the gown is in
black. shot with dblue, the ends
weighted with heavy silk tassels.
Foulard is also being used with
heavy crepe de chine with good ef-
feet. In trousseau gown made for
one OF the society brides OF this week
there was a beautiful little girl"
dress made in foulard in d soft rose
shade OF pink. traced with the tiniest
OF pink spots in pale shade and
pink crepe de chine.
The baby bodice. slightly gathered
to the figure under round frill OF
| fiesh-colored pink tulle at the aeck,
was encircled at the waistline with
folds OF the crepe de chine. A line OF
tiny fiat buttons. covered with ghe
crepe de chine. ran down the centre
OF the front to the deep hem of crepe
de chine, which came up to meet the
upper part OF the skirt In the foulard.
The sleeves to the elbow were rucked
and caught In with bow-knots OF pink
bebe ribbon velvet. - Philadelphia

l am and have been a reader of
your paper for several years, and de-
sire a little information through it's
columns. 1 have field of twelve
acres which is what we call cold. fiat
land, which has been farmed for
about thirty years, and has not been
brought up any during that time,
but everything taken off. Last fall
l sowed it to rye, which ! intend to
turn under when full grown, probably
in June. Now 1 want to SOW another
crop of something that will mature
in Tine to turn under in time to SOW
the land to wheat in the fall. Have
been thinking of some sorghum to
make a quick, heavy growth to turn
under when full grown. Some advise
cowpeas, others buckwheat and some
millet. My object is TO get the most
vegetable matter in the ground by
some crop after the rye has been
turned under. Would like to hear
from some who have had experience
with sorghum in that way and how
much seed should / SOW to the acre?
If any farmer knows of better plan
to revive this kind of ground would
be glad to hear from him.-E. A. f.
Answer-We recommend you to
SOW cowpeas. and to cut the rye be-
fore seed natures. If you use sor-
ghum, sow six or eight quarts Of seed
per acre.-Indiana Farmer.

one Of these, comparatively new land,
and the other, very old, upon which
we used 1875 pounds per acre of a
fertilizer carrying, probably, one to
two per cent. nitrogen, seven to
eleven per cent. available phosphoric
acid and two to four per cent. potash,
no fertilizer being used on the newer
field. From the old land we harvest
ed twelve bushels more per acre than
from the new, and of better weight
and quality.
The old field had been in cultiva-
ton, probably, more than fifty years.
The old field was much nearer the
barns, and had had more manure
hauled on it than on the other one.
At the Rothamstead experiment
station, England, three plats of
ground we're used in growing wheat
for more than fifty years. On one
OF these plats wheat was grown for
the entire period without fertilizer
of any kind, producing 1871 bushels
per acre, average. On one of the
other plats fourteen tons of farm
manure were applied each year and
produced 35.7 bushels per acre. And
upon the other one commercial fer.
tilizer was applied, and the yield was
37.1 bushels per acre.. w. F..
Thomas, in the Indiana Farmer.

Sufrragettes Favor Filtration.

The question whether married
couples should flirt Is now agitating
suffragettes in England. Lady Nc
Laren, author; Lady Troubridge and
Mrs. Elizabeth York Miller, author,
all agree that Irritation is an excellent
thing, provided it is confined to the
family. They do not think that a
man should fiirt with another wom-
ans husband. They believe only in
Irritation between husband and wife.
Concerning this kind of Irritation Mrs.
Miller pungently says: Flirting
ought to be spontaneous; nothing
could be more ridiculous than mar
ried people flirting determinedly.
Husbands should fiirt with their
wives, as women miss Irritation more
than men after matrimony. Flirta-
tion consists in an occasional kiss, a
frequent holding of hands, spirit
of tenderness and chivalry, and a
study of the others interests and
feelings. Filtration is the panacea
of all married peoples troubles All
husbands and wives should cultivate
It."

Determine Vitality of Seed Corn.

There is serious danger that this
years corn crop will be limited by a
poor stand OF plants.
Many growers will be compelled to
buy seed. In sucn case do not risk
purchases from a different latitude.
If good seed of a productive variety
cannot be bought near home, then
make sure that the seed has been
grown in a section having a similar
growing season, advises a writer in
National Stockman and Farmer.
Even If the corn is sold as tested seed
buy early enough to enable you TO
make test for yourself before plant.
ing.
The first thing to do is to test the
corn that one is planning to use. 1t
will pay to do this right. Make some
boxes three inches deep and, say,
eighteen inches square. Partly fill
with sawdust or any othe- material
that will hold moisture. Place on
this square of muslin that is
marked in one inch squares and
numbered. On each square place four
kernels of corn taken from different
parts of the ear, one square for each
ear that is TO be tested. Give the ear
the same number as the square by
writing the number on slip of paper
and tying 1t around the ear. Cover
the corn in box with a pad that
will hold the moisture. and keep the
box in warm room. Select for
planting only the ears whose kernels
have shown strong terminating
power. If one kernel in four fails TO
germinate, or If the termination is
slow and weak, reject the ear. The
task of testing is not nearly so great
as these directions may indicate, and
in this way one may know that all the
seed is capable of making strong
growth OF plants.
1t pays every year, but this year 1t
will be unusually profitable. Much
corn will not grow at all, and very
much will germinate only under most
favorable conditions, and some cold,
wet weather after planting will rot It.
Make sure of the rejection of all seed
that is not full OF vitality, aad THIS
method of testing will enable an!o 2
to do so.

Mushrooms and Chicken,

Cut the stems from ten medium
sized fresh mushrooms. Remove the
gills and peel neatly. AS soon as
peeled drop them into a bowl OF cold
water. The flavor will be much i'm
proved If to the water has been added
the juice of one lemon. Chop the
mushroom stems very fine. Mix with
them one small white onion we'll
chopped. Place them in a saucepan
in which has been melted hoapins
teaspoonful of butter Cool; for two
or three minutes and then add the
mushroom stems. Cook slowly tor
five minutes. Season with Pepper
and salt to taste. Take off the stoye
and mix with the mushrooms.
Mince tender parts of chickcn.
preferably the white meat. A curful
will be required. Push through a
sieve. Mix with it two rabiesrcon-
fuls of butter cut into fine pieces.
Mix thoroughly. Beat the whites of
two eggs and moisten the meat with
this, stirring we'll. Season strongly
with salt and pepper. Keep on ice
until chilled. Mix with it teacuDfui
of whipped cream, Fill the mush-
rooms with this mixture. Place them
in a buttered pan. Place ths in an

The Swiss President.

The new President has been In
Office for nearly two months, but not
one in every hundred of those re-
turning from winter sports in Switz-
erland could give his name, as the
Swiss President Is not encouraged to
occupy the supreme place filled by
the heads of other great republics.
He is elected for one year. and during
that time he, is looked upon as the
chairman of the Federal Council of
seven. The President for 1910 is M.
Robert Comtesse, who is the chief OF
the republic for the second time, hav-
ing previously occupied the Presiden-
cy in 1904. M. Comtesse is a Neu-
chatel man. born at the pretty little
place called Valengin, near the Grand
Sigral-one of the famous points OF
view near Neuchatel. After a course
of law In Heidelberg and Paris he re-
turned to his native canton aud prac-
ticed as lawyer. Taking to politics
he gave himself to the study Of In
dustrial and commercial questions,
and has occupied various Offices with
1 marked success.

Cheap Horse Feeds.

The Michigan Agricultural Expert
ment Station has published bulletin
on comparative horse feeding. 1t
states that six horses at work re-
ceived a regular ration of timothy
hay and oats at an average expense
of 29.6 cents per day, estimating the
feed at current prices. The horses
lost an average Of eleven pounds
each Six horses were fed cheaper
ration consisting of shredded corn
stalks, oat straw, hay, ear corn, oats,
beet pulp, bran, oilcake and few
carrots, the average cost Of which
was III cents per day, and the
horses gained on an average four
teen pounds each. Four horses were
also fed the cheaper ration, but as
they were at rest part of the time
they were not fed as heavily as the
other lots. The average cost of main
tenance in this trial was 1919 cents,
and the average loss in live weight
for each horse four pounds.

Keeping Up Soil Fertility.

WITH reference to keeping the land
up with clover alone, l formerly be-
lieved the fertility of the soil could
be maintained indefinitely by crop
rotation and the proper use of clover,
but in recent years l have changed
my mind. Certain elements, as nitro
gsn, phosphoric acid and potash, in
herent in the soil and necessary to
the growth and thrift OF all plants,
are removed from the land by contin-
uous cropping, two of which cannot
be replaced by clover alone.
AS all know. clover II properly
used, win renew the diminishing sup
ply Of nitrogen, but will not develop
the available phosphoric acid and
potash in sufficient quantities to grow
profitable crops. There comes time
in the history of all old land, when
the exhausted elements which cannot
be restored by clover must be sup
piled from some other source. Stable
manure, which is complete within
itself, or some form OF phosphate or
commercial fertilizer must be used.
If you have enough stable manure
you will neve! need any commercial
fertilizer. But who has enough?
We probably have more stable ma
nure than any one else in this vicin-
lty, as We feed and fatten. each year,

The Chinese Riots.

The immediate occasion of the r.ot-
Ing at Changsha. in the province OF
Human, appears to be the failure OF
the rice crop. With all their CEN
turtles OF agrarian experience. the
Chinese have not yet learned to dis
tribute the surplus product OF one
district to relieve the distress OF an
other. 1t may be that In one province
the cattle are driven into the fields to
feed and the crops are used as fuel.
while In an adjoining province the
people are starving. The market for
the rice crop is strictly local one.
While It is permissible TO import
grain from abroad in any quantity de-
sired. grain Of any kind may not be
transported from one district to an
other without the express oermIssiop
OF the government. - Philadelphia

At dinners and also at formal
luncheons 1t is good idea to watch
the plates of neighbors, and if one
person has been talking so much as
to have fallen behind in the course it
is tactful to take conversation into
ones own hands, giving the other a
chance to listen and at the same time
to eat
1t is not good form to monopolize
the attention of one neighbor to such
an extent as to prevent him or her
from talking with the person on the
other side. Often 1t is a temptation
when on one side is an attractive per
son and on the other one who is dull,
but politeness makes dividing the at
tention necessary.
If one person is kept constantly in
conversation by one neighbor at a
dinner it means that he or she on
the other side sits much of the time
with no one to talk to, for the guest
farther on Is certainly giving some
time to the person on his or her other
side.-New York Telegram.
