Don't overwork the mare; it won't
pay.
It is as easy to teach a colt good
manners as faulty ones.
II grass is short, be sure to feed q
succulent ration of some kind.
The manners of the horse usually
reveal the temper of his owner.
A good Shropshire flock should av-
erage nine to ten pounds OF wool.
Unless man has q great love for
horse he should not handle colts.
1t pays best to have q horse well
broken when he is offered for sale.
The cause of unthrifty pigs can
often be traced to a filthy swiu bar
rel.
No animal that gets only feed
enough to support life can make a
gain OF profit.
Silage is highly relished by young
stock and by idle COWS. as well as
those in milk.
A five cent straw hat filed with
leaves dipped in water may save a
5000 brood mare.
Silage is well adapted for fattening
lambs and for a part ration for win
tering breeding sheep.
Don't leave the sheep in dry, short
pasture. Give them chance in a
fresh pasture. or give good grain ra-
ton.
Most horsemen have had unfavor-
able results from feeding silage to
horses. A few report It satisfactory
feed.
Fine-wooled ewes crossed with one
of the mutton breeds will make a
sheep possessing both wool and NUT
ton qualities.
Many shepherds report as good re-
suits from feeding silage to sheep as
are reported by dairymen and beef
cattle feeders.
Men who rushed their sheep to
market last year are sorry. and men
who are rushing their best hogs to
market this year will be sorry next
year.
Silage is not of much value to hogs,
except when given in small feeds for
q variety and an appetizer. Hogs
show less liking for silage than any
other class Of farm animals.

Making 81 Cot.

The first care of the brood SOW
should be to keep her in thrifty con-
dition without laying on much fat. A
week or ten days before narrowing
time put her in fattening pen and
let her get accustomed to her new
quarters. Feed little bran each
meal, which has a laxative effect and
makes narrowing easier. Scratching
and petting a SOW while feeding is

Pumpkins for Hogs and Cows.

It is surprising that more pumpkins
are not fed to pigs and cows which
have access to alfalfa pasture In the
fall. For brood sows and shoats, ana
even for fattening hogs ration OF
pumpkins will give good results. 1t
has been found that raw pumpkins
will give as good results az though
they were cooked. II cooked and
some grain sprinkled over them hogs
will eat more of them, which is the

1t will be April 10th or 18th before
spring work can open in that section,
before farming operations can be
commenced in full blast.
1.-THE late spring will mean de-
creased acreage, as there was very
little fall blowing done. But proba.
bly, it is a good thing the farmers can
not not sow so many acres, as they
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-03-21

will be able to give more attention to
the land they do sow and will there
fore secure better results.
There is no doubt but that the
better farming methods that are be-
ing urged throughout the entire state
will have their effect. The constant
hammering away on the doctrine of
employing better farming methods
and of diversifying is showing the
farmers that the disciples of these
movements are in earnest: They are
awakened to the fact rnat there are
not mere theories but will be of prac.
teal value, and more and more far
mers are adopting them.
"Conditions were never more fav.
orable for good crop. There is
some talk of a bad season because
this is a presidential year, but If
North Dakotans reap bumper crop
in harvest time, presidential year
will have little effect on the state"
