Training the Colt.

On his early training entirely de-
pends the colts usefulness and value
as a horse, and 1t should begin the
day he Is foaled.
The training of colt cannot be too
thorough. half-broken horse is not
broken at all. and is always q danger
GUS animal.
There Is no better or cheaper place
to develop a young horse and put him
In proper shape for market than on
the farm.
A colt wants to be kept eating and
growing and exercising and anything
but fattening as long as he has time
assigned him by nature to grow.
When you begin to train a young
horse, do It with mingled firmness and
goodness.

COURT ADDS TO PENALTY.
Appealing From Ten-Year Sentence,
Nan Who Avenged Sisters Wrong
10 Sent to Prison for
Life.

Denver, Colo.-Usually 1t is consid-
cred victory for the defense when
supreme court reverses convic-
ton In a murder case and sends 1t
back for new trial. Such a reversal
proved stunning blow for Joseph b.
Bailey, the second trial leaving him
convicted of higher degree Of muir
der than the first one. with many
years added to his term Of imprison-
ment.
In July, 1910, Bailey killed his
brother-in-law, Eugene Smith, for al
legged brutality to Mrs. Smith, Bailey's
sister. AS her husband lay upon the
ground, mortally wounded, the woman
snatched her wedding ring from her
finger and threw 1t at him, exclaiming
that she was through with him for
ever.
In both the trials she stood by her
brother steadfastly, telling of her
wrongs, accusing the dead husband OF
untold cruelty to her. Several times
during the last hearing her sobs were
go loud that she had to be cautioned
to keep silent, for fear OF the effect
OF her emotion upon the jury.
At the first hearing Bailey's coun-
sci put up hard fight and managed
to win verdict of murder In the sec
ond degree. The defense did not deny
the killing, but hoped to show that the
brother was so shocked by Mrs
Smiths mistreatment that he was tenn
porarily out of his mind. His sentence
was an indeterminate term Of from
ten to fifteen years.
An appeal to the supreme court was
taken and that tribunal remanded the
case on errors in the trial. About the
time the decision was handed down
Bailey's attorney died.
The accused had to get another law
yer, one comparatively unfamiliar with
the case. At that the trial appeared
to go as much In the defendants ia
vor and Bailey confidently expected
nothing worse than another convic

GOOD RArloNs FOR CATTLE
Some RssuIts Obtained by Expert
ments at Tennessee station In
Feeding Dairy Cows.

The experiments conducted at the
Tennessee experiment station resulted
in the following conclusions:
Soy bean straw is valuable addi-
ton to the roughage In the feeding
OF dairy COWS. and while giving bet
ter results than corn stover. it can
be produced at about the same cost.
A ton Of soy bean hay that will
produce $50 pounds OF beans and LAO
pounds Of straw and can be pro
duced for 81 has a higher feeding
value than ton of alfalfa hay (Which
costs from $40 to $25 per ton In the
Tennessee markets).
Soy bean meal and straw kept the
COWS In healthy condition, as indi
Gated by the hair and skin.
Cotton seed meal, soy bean meal
apparently had about the same feed
ing value.
Results also indicate that 2 and 8
year-old heifers will handle large
amount Of roughage IL the grain al
lowance is small; and. In this work
when alfalfa was used as supplement
to corn silage, the milk flow was main
tained and the condition of the heif
ers was good.
A well balanced ration can be pro
duced on the farm at much less cost
than 1t can be purchased on the mar

| Since the homegrown rations used
In this experiment produced larger
yields, kept the animals in better
health and greatly reduced the cos

can be produced on any TENNESSEE
farm, the dairymen of that state
should resort to the growing Of theil
own dairy feeds as relief from pres
ent market conditions.
