CARING FOR THE FALL COLT
Keep Him Growing During Winter and
Wean Him When Grass Starts.

Wean Him When Grass Starts.
The youngster which arrives in the
fall or early winter has exactly the
same requirements as does his broth
err that begins his earthly existence In
the spring. To make conditions as
nearly as possible like those that can
be so easily provided in the spring
must be the aim. The colt then needs
liberal feeding with feed Of good quail
ity. He needs exercise and fresh dir.
The fall colt requires more care and
attention. He cannot be turned out
in pasture with his mother and be
allowed to run week in and week out
Exercise must be provided. It most
often happens that there is Just ono
fall colt on the farm. Usually without
serious inconvenience the youngster
is made pet and given the freedom
Of the barn and yards He will get
up a stray bite once in awhile.
In case that system is not practiced
it is best to give the mother and the
colt big box stall by night and to
allow them to run in an open yard by
day. Good bright clover or alfalfa hay
is probably the best substitute for
green grass that can be provided If
the youngster is kept growing during
the first winter he will be ready to
wean by the time grass starts-Na-
tional Stockman and Farmer.

A Rhode Island correspondent of the
Rural New Yorker writes as follows on
the subject OF putting the bull to work:

bull should have some kind of exercise
to keep him In good form for service
and also for his own good physically.

ian, who is very kind with the cattle.

ed him to teach Misty, my one-year-
old Guernsey bull, to work. A few
days later we gave our young bull his
first lesson in harness. We took one
of the extra single harnesses from the
horse barn and by taking up the straps
where 1t needed it we finally got the
harness to fit the bull first rate We
used all of the harness except the bri-
die, and in its place we used a small
halter and snapped the reins to the
rings in the halter. which are on both
sides of the mouthpiece.
The first days work was simple and
easy. The young bull was first led
down the lane (one-fourth mile, and
I then on the way back he pulled along
fencepost hitched to a whiffletree.
Each day he was taught to do little
more work or go longer distance.

He seemed to have his own way

struck several chords.

The thing can't have been tuned in

Before she could stop him he had
rung up the agent on the telephone. and
she was Mortified to hear him say:
Miss Kissock. the head gardener,

leaving the piano in such a condition.

She consented to let the matter rest.
and, sure enough, the next morning
the piano was tuned Then the first
assistant gardener insisted on the head
gardener spending the morning with
him in the music room.
Finally the grounds were laid ont on
the new plan. The men the assistant
had hired kept at work and seemed
satisfied with their pay. How their
boss managed the finances to make
anything was a mystery.
! When the work was ready to turn
over to the agent the artist. took his
traps and moved on. It seemed to the
girl that her world had moved on and
left her desolate. The agent sent word
that the owner had arrived and he
would bring him to inspect the
grounds. Miss Kissock dreaded lest
her scheme should be disapproyed.
Doubtless the globe trotter owner was
used to the beautiful landscape gar
ldening abroad, and her girlish effort
would seem d botch to him. When
the two arrived she was in her room.
She hurried downstairs. There was

GREAT GROWTH OF the
MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.
Calculated TO stasssr Humanity In
Communities Where Merchants Have
Struggle For Existence.

The marvellous growth OF the mail
order business in recent years is cal
culated to stagger humanity in local
communities where general merchants
or specialists In any sort of merchan-
disc are struggling for an existence
against the gigantic concerns In the
big cities which have back Of them the
power Of millions Of dollars capital. A
writer in the Saturday Evening Post
tells how a large mail order house was
reorganized. The concerns total assets
were valued at $10,oo0,oo0 1t issued
preferred stock to that amount and
common stock representing good will
to the amount Of S3o,0O0,D0O.
To appraise the good will Of mer-
chandising concern-which, in the ma
ture Of the case. could have no monop-
olistic advantages-at So for every dol
lar Of its tangible assets seemed rather
excessive.
A syndicate of shrewd capitalists in
tmately acquainted with the business
was said to have bought n large block
of 1t at high figure At current quo
tations, then. this concerns mere good
will was valued at $36,OOO,OOO. More
over, this house was founded not many

a comparatively few years in the bust
ness of selling at retail groceries. dry
goods, furniture, and so on, to farmers,
villagers and the residents of the
smaller towns and cities throughout
the United States.
The local merchant finds himself con-
fronting a proposition that means n
fight to the finish for self preservation.
The lightweight as to capitalization is
pitted against the heavyweight. If the
townsmen and personal friends of the
lightweight fail to back him in the
ring there is a likelihood of knock
out In an early round. They can back
him by giving him the cheerful aid Of
trading Mt home instead of increasing
the advantage of the heavyweight by
doing catalogue buying.
