Try to be patient with your colt, Mr..
Farmer. Remember that he is green
yes, as green as the grass he eats
so peacefully when you turn him out
to Craze, and the harness no longer
chafes his soft young body.
All farmers know that a four-year
colt will stand more than a, three-year
old. Bone and muscle are better ma
tured and generally of bktter size;
therefore, he is better able to stand a
days work. But when it comes to
that no green, unbroken colt should be
expected to do a full days work In the
team Of well seasoned farm or road
horses.
So many good colts have been aged
and made dull by this foolish habit
of letting them run absolutely unbrok-
en- into the spring when they are three
or four years old. and then catching
them and putting them at hard, steady
work just as the busy season comes
on. when time is precious. when the

kick or rear upon what might be con
sidered very slight provocation, or
no provocation at all to a broken mid
dle-aged farm horse.
In that section of Virginia known as
The Valley" famous for its notably
heavy draft horses, and their rule is
to break these big colts at two years
old, never working them over half a
day at time, and beginning the pro-
cess in the late winter and early
spring.
The first work to a wagon in a
steady team and with quiet teamster,
generally a white man who is used to
the daily handling of horses.
The writer visited that section re-
Gently and while the quest of a we'll
known horse breeder, saw four full
blooded Percherons working to a ma
nure spreader, nine-yearold mare
under the saddle, a three-year-old stall
lion in the off lead and a young mare
under the line.
The average weight of these splen-
did horses was about 1900 pounds
each. but the remarkable part of the
business was that these two young,
vigorous stations were working quiet
ly with mares. Their teamster had
them under perfect control, but they
had been worked the same as the
two-year-olds, and had become used
to farm labor by degrees.
OF course advice is cheap and farm
ers get lots Of it, and in the matter of
working colts and green horses in the
summer time they have heard 1t all
fitting on the harness. scraping the col
lars at night, washing off the shout
ders. and sparing the lash.
l have only to say this, and l speak
from experience: IL the farmer does
not go easy with the three and four
year-olds at this season they will be
old and sluggish before their time.

ERADICATION OF
MORNING GL0RIES
Cutting Tops Does Little Good
and PIoW Serves to Spread
the Roots.

On our lowland farms we find four
varieties Of morning glories. The
field morning glory resembles the cult
tivated kind. and unlike the bind-weed
grows only from the seed, SO the only
remedy is to prevent the seeding.
The field bind-weed is a morning
gl<ry with small flowers and vine-like
stems that ertwine closely about any.
thing they reach
The numerous roots send out plants
from every eye. These roots being
spread by the pillow or cultivator, form
new plants, until In a short time the
corn field is completely covered.
They start so early in the spring
that before the corn is large enough
to cultivate the rows are SO hidden
that they must be cleaned out with a
hoe before cultivation is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed. pea vine, morning glory has
large funnel-shaped flowers and a
more slender vine than the other va
rieties.
In the central states we find still
another Of the prolific pests. This is
the wild sweet-potato or man-of-the-
earth vine. Its roots resemble in shape
the cultivated sweet potato, but are
much longer and penetrate far below
tho blowing depths
Cutting the tops does little good, and
cutting the roots only multiplies the
number Of vines. as all pieces of roots
grow the same as the edible sweet po-
tato.
The pillow only serves as a means Of
spreading and transplanting the pieces
Of roots which grow new plants. Gov
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed, which, for
tpnately. is not so common as the 9TH
er varieties of the morning glory.
Hogs are very fond of the roots,
and are a great help in clearing up
badly infested ground. Flowing dur
ing July and August prevents the
plants from growing again in the same
season. and will make them much less
plentiful next year.
Lambs also like the vines wonder
fully well, and few will be left in the
fall IL they are turned on before the
bind-weeds go to seed.
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1913-08-09

Our experience with bind-weeds is
that spring blowing and persistent use
Of the cultivator only serve to spread
the roots over greater areas.
The lowlands where the bind-wed
flourishes are also suitable for alfalfa.
We find that between the cuttings of
alfalfa the bind-weed has no opportu-
nifty to seed, and in a few years a
plant can hardly be found in an alfalfa
field.
The bind-weed, when once establish
ed in field, is there to stay or put
up strenuous fight, and no halfway
methods will accomplish anything in
the way Of getting rid of this pest.
When plowing or cultivating through
small spots of morning glory, it pays
to clean the pillow or cultivator of all
roots to prevent the spreading Of the
growth of new plants
The use Of the disk harrows and
disk cultivators will help to prevent
the spread of this pest

Helps for Peas and Beans.

Peas and beans are checked in their
early growth when grown on soils de-
ficient in nitrogen, and are benefited
by the applications of heterogeneous fer
tilizers. Sodium nitrate is better
adapted to top-dressing than ammon-
ium sulphate on account of it's quick
action. Sodium nitrate is easily wash
ed into the 'subsoil. whereas the am
monium sulphate is more firmly held
in the soil. The continued application
of sodium nitrate tends to form crusts
on the soil
