There is 8 great tendency on the
part of many to neglect the colts on
the farm during the winter says a
Minnesota bulletin. 1t too often hap
pens that there is apparent shortage
Of feed. and the result Is that colts
are Sighted. One way OF running q
young colt is to have his growth
stunted during the first year or two.
Most OF the colts on the farm get a
good start the first six months of
their lives, from the fact that they
are allowed to suckle the dam during
that time. Early fall provides them
with good pasture, and possibly they
have been receiving some oats or
shared a part OF the feed of the mare.
Such treatment puts them in good
shape for the winter, but liberal feed
ing must be kept up If strong. we'll
developed and matured horse is ex-
pected.
The colts system requires a con-
siderable amount Of bone and mus
cle-building material, and this can
only be had by feeding heterogeneous
feeds. such as oats, little bran, oil
meal; and, if obtainable, SOME clover
hay. The feeding. of corn, so often
practiced, is not desirable for the
growing colt, but bad better be con
fined to the matured horses Access
to the straw pile will noe hurt a
growing colt, but it should not be
compelled to rely on the straw pile
for livelihood
The question is often asked: Why
do we find so many promising colts
at the county fairs. during the fall,
and such poor yearlings? The fore
going statement is in part explanatory
OF such conditions of affairs.
One of the best forms of investment
on the farm is the liberal feeding Of

PLANT ALFALFA
TO IMPROVE SOIL
Less Expense and Work Required
to Handle Than Grain Crop
High Feed Value.

(By w. c. PALMER. North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Statiou)
One ton of alfalfa hay has the same
feeding value as 60 bushels of oats.
Alfalfa can be expected to average at
least two tons per acre. This is the
equivalent of 120 bushels Of oats.
There is no land that will average 100
bushels of oats-in fact it takes good
land and good handling to average GO
bushels of oats per acre.
The alfalfa requires less work and
less expense to handle than grain
crop. And the alfalfa will improve
the soil while the oat crop will reduce
it's productive power. TO get this
value from alfalfa it must be fed on
the farm.
1t needs to be kept in mind that the
alfalfa is roughage.

THOROUGH Preparation.

The better the preparation Of the
soil the less seed will be required.
Many failures in seed are not due to
so much lack of vitality in the seed
as to the unfavorable condition of the
ground. Thorough preparation not
only saves seed, but lessons the work
of cultivation.

SENIOR MANUEL De ZAMAC0NA

Manuel de Zamacona, once Mexican
minister at Washington, arrived IN
this country short while ago on a
nissiou from President Huerta. His
mission was said to bear some sem
bIance to that of Ex-Governor Lind,
who was sent to Mexico by President
wilson. It is understood that Zama-

official status.
