Many attempts have been made to
raise skunks for their fur, but the en-
terprises have usually been given up
as Improbable. According to the bio
logical survey of the United States
department Of agriculture, the chief
causes of failure have been cost of
fencing Enclosures, cost of mainte-
nance or lack Of experience, leading
to overcrowding and overfeeding the
animals. In many cases, where the
animals were successfully reared/ it
was found that the expense of feed
ing them to maturity exceeded the
value of the fur, while in other in
stances the antipathy of the neigh
bors led to the abandonment Of the
experiments. At present the value of
the best black skins would probably
allow a margin of profit in rearing
this class of skunks. The survey
gives the following hints on skunk
farming.
In the matter Of food, the chief aim
should be to supply suitable and suf-
flcient diet at reasonable cost. A GER
tain proportion Of meat is necessary,
but the animals eat also bread, green
corn. clover, tomatoes and many other

MAKING FRIENDS
WITH THE COLTS

Have So Much Trouble
IN Breaking IN the
Young Animals.

Many good horses are spoiled when
colts by improper training. They may
have been teased by children, where
upon they developed a mean disposi-
ton.
To make a colt easy to break, you
should make friends with it. Gain its
confidence by feeding it from your
hand. petting and currying. A colt is
nearly half broken when you can
catch it anywhere.
The colt should first be halterbroke.
At first you will need the assistance
of driver, but he should be dis
pensed with as soon as possible.
A good way to halterbreak a colt
is alongside a horse. The rider can
act as leader and driver. Some per-
sons tie the colt to the harness OF the

vegetable substances. Butcher and
table scraps given when fresh are the
main reliance. The food should not
be salted, and fresh water should be
supplied regularly.
Skunks are especially fond of in
sects, and II the pens are large
enough and favorably placed, the ami
mails will forage for part of their
food.
Al least an acre of ground should
be inclosed for each fifty skunks, and
even then there is danger of canni-
balism unless there are plenty of
separate dens for the females. The
fence should be made of poultry net
ting 11z-inch mesh. The posts should
be get in bitches Is inches or more
in depth, which should be filed with
broken stone or concrete. Another
plan is to extend the wire netting
underground. The fence should be
three or four feet high and have an
overhang at the top to keep the ami
mails from climbing over.
Skunks breed once year and pro-
duce from six to eight young. They
are born in May or June, and mature
by December.

wall itself is several times wider than
the alleyways along which pedestrians
and rickshas make their devious and
difficult way in that part Of the city.
The space acquired by the removal of
the wall should therefore, IL used to
best advantage, be of considerable
value
1t appears to have been suddenly
discovered that the wall is useless as
means of defense and that 1t is an
ugly impediment to the development
and improvement of the native quar-
ters. The work was put in hand i'm
mediately the order went forth from
the town hall works department that
1t was to be executed without fail
The owners and inhabitants of
shanties on the wall have been or
dered to remove these, and any
fences, material, etc, which would
impede the progress of the work. An
outcry might have been expected,
since the scheme had been strongly op-
posed. but the order has been quietly
accepted. In fact very little interest
seems to have been aroused by the
work. even though it inaugurates a
striking change.
Two of the principal gates in the
city wall of Hangchow have been
removed. At Canton the republican
government has ordered an investiga-
ton as to the population and the num-
ber of houses along the wall inside
and outside the city. The officials
deputed to the work are to report
In month. submitting a list of the
houses and residents. together with a
scheme for the demolition of the en-

/ plow with team of horses of the
harness type. Farmers are plowing
deeply these days. and it is distressing
to see a light team struggling with a
heavy plow.
The general tendency. therefore, is,
when light team is used, to allow
the plow to skim the ground in order
to ease up on the team. If team
of sturdy draft horses, weighing 1900
to 1900 each is used, they walk along
with plow, running from six to eight
inches deep. without the slightest dis
tress.
The English Clydesdales and crosses
resulting from the use of French or
German coach horses make a good
all-round farm team. The infusion OF
the French or German Coach blood
produces horse of good action, while
the blood of the Clydesdales, Shires
and Percherons keeps him heavy
enough, and close enough to the
ground to pull almost any load with
in reason.
The Elbert County tribune., 1912-04-12

Farmers in the south still cling
TO the light breeds of horses, mainly
because there is more horseback rid
ing done. and the average farmer
wants a horse for an-around pur-
poses.
In the north. the heavy breeds, such
as the Percherons, Clydes and Shires
are most generally used.
The wise farmer will raise the type
of horse hest adapted to his needs.
Generally speaking, where only one
team can be kept on the farm, the
horses should be sizeable enough to
pull plow or draw a heavy wagon
load with comparative ease, and at
the same time light enough to get
along over the road with a surrey or
light rig at fairly good gait.
If farmer keeps a number of
horses he will. of course, use the
heavy type for plowing and other
heavy farm work, and keep a light
harness team for the road.
1t is great mistake to attempt to
