the boy had already done some riding.

Once. II Is said. there was squirrel
that did not like its home. and he used
70 scold and find fault with every
thing. Its papa squirrel had long gray
whiskers and was so wise. besides
which he would shake his whiskers
quickly. He said TO the squirrel: My
dear. as you do not like your home
there are three sensible things any
one OF which you could do-leave Il or
change il or suit yourself to It. Any
one OF these would help you In your
troubles"
But the little squirrel said: "0h,
do not want 10 do any OF those.
would rather sit on the branch OF a
tree and scold."
We'll" said the papa squirrel, If
you must do that. whenever you want
TO scold just 60 out on branch and

know"

that he became n red squirrel. and you

To raise horses from sucking colts
keep them going ahead. Never allow
them 20 get a setback. as the first
years growth goes far In determining
what the animal will be az maturity.
After weaving the colt should be kept
In a well bedded box stall. with plenty
OF light and ventilation. IL should be
allowed to take plenty OF exercise IN
favorable weather. A good ration con
sisting OF three quarts Of oats and one
OF bran mixed with water and little
salt and molasses or oilmeal cake
should be fed three times a day. Oats
are exceedingly fine for making bone,
and healthy ration for laying on
fat Is an occasional feed OF boiled bar
ley. A little corn may be fed at noon
at odd times also. A good fodder feed
is six or seven pounds Of clover and
timothy hay mixed. This should be
fed mornings and evenings and as
much as the colt will consume.

or the mistakes made I'm feeding
dairy cattle perhaps the one OF under
feeding is the more common. 1t is a
very serious mistake to feed cow
only that required 20 keep her body
and then not feed her enough In add

n COW declines In weight while giving
milk II shows that she Is not receiving
sufficient food, as a COW II not fed
enough viii produce milk for a time
nj the expense OF her body-that Is,
she viii take the surplus flesh from
her body and convert II into milk and
thereby Will lose In live weight. On
the other hand, when a COW is being
overfed II may be detected In a short
time by the fact that she will put on
flesh. This condition may be corrected
by giving her only the amount she
needs and viii use for milk produc-
ton. This means feeding enough to
maintain practically uniform weight.

An excellent plan Is 10 have a shed

naming space being left for drive

gives plenty OF room to drive a wagon

Quality In Cattle.

High class animals always have the
most quality. II is shown In a fine.
silky coat or hair, I'm a mellow, elastic
skin and In fine bones and neat joints.
There is lots OF difference In the coat
OF hair. One COW may have hair that
is fine and soft and thick. There Is a
very fine and close undercoat and then
longer, coarser hair. Such hair Is q
great protection I'm winter. Other ami
mails, and they are the most common.
have coarse. long hair. Their bones
are also likely 20 be big and coarse.
When an animal has plenty OF quality
you can easily take the skin in the
hand between thumb and fingers and
pull II out from the side OF the body.
1t will be mellow and roll up some
what In the hand. IL the COW lacks
quality her skin will be thick. tight
and not easily taken I'm the hand. Fine
quality as seen IN the hair. skin and
bone means with the beef animal that
when killed there will be much less
waste OF the carcass than II the con
ditions show lack OF quality. SO also
the dairy COW with plenty OF quality
is better producer OF milk than II
the quality Is lacking.--C. s. Plumb.
