A colt can be grown as easily and
cheaply as calf. and at the same

young mares of nearly the same size

the handling of the mare and foal,
mare doing general farm work should
raise two colts every three years and
do about as well&as with none. The
colt will represent at least 100 per

are required that the young animal
can be grown without noticing the

"Moonshinep starts Ere

Vancouver. Wash.-sun shining
through a round bottle containing
'moonshine' whisky started fire in
a local liquor store show window.
The rays were concentrated by the
lens-like liquor contained on crepe
tissue paper with which the window
was adorned and merry blaze was
under way when discovered by B. H.
Wolfe. The paper was burning nicely
when snufed out by the proprietor.
The fact that the liquor was pure
white permitted the passing of the
suns rays and the generation Of the

Sheep rearing has been one Of
mans most profitable and important
occupations since the very early
times, but it is not known whether
the present breeds Of sheep had their
origin in the wild species now known,
or whether they come from species
now extinct.
It is only in comparatively recent
years that very general attempts have
been made to improve the known
breeds OF sheep. and in making such
improvement the farmers OF America
have devoted their principal attention
to the fleece, while those of Canada
and Britain pay more attention to car
cass.
