Work on'ithe plant is to be commenced
at once and be pushed until completed.
The new modern water power machin-
cry is being constructed at the factor
les and will arrive about the time Of
the completion of the plant proper. The
stock is selling readily.

TIMELY hints
FOR FARMERS
Keep the Colts GROWING.

The colt makes its greatest growth
Suring its first year. This should be
kept in mind when planning the feeds
for the growing colt. 1t should be
pushed right along and kept growing
from the time it is born. Some of the
best horsemen feed skimmil5 to the
growing colts as n part of their regu
lar ration. This is introduced into
their feed when they are about four
months old and continued until they
are yearlings. At first about two
quarts are given and the amount grad.
ually increased until they will receive
five or six quarts per day. Sometimes
trouble is experienced in teaching the
colts to drink skimmilk. In this case
dampen the oats or ground feed with
a little milk to begin with and grad
ually increase the amount until the
grain is fed in the form Of a slop com
posed of grain and milk BY this time
a taste will have been acquired by the
animal. and no further trouble will cb
met IF this ration is continued
through the winter the colt will in
variably come out in fine shape in the
spring, and there Will be no setbacl:

do is to pick out some good. strong
ewes of good type that show good
wool characteristics. Let the ewes be
short legged and of good bone, with
wide back and not too long neck
Such will prove the best mixers
When most farmers get a ram they
buy any old grade, and in that they
make mistake. Buy the very best
ram that is to be found and do not
think so much of the price you have
to pay. In selecting a ram, get ono
that is short legged, with good. wide
shoulders and back, short neck and
good fleece. Lambs from such selec-
tions will more than pay the extra
expense the first year.
Farmers do not take as good care OF
their sheep as they should. Sheep
should have little grain once a day.
perhaps one-fourth pound per head
The lambs will be enough better to
pay for the grain. and the eve will
shear more wool than she would other
wise. Do not forget to raise a few
roots for the sheep. Roots will keep
them healthy and in good condition.
