OCTOBER COLT SHOW.
How To Feed Animals While Yet
Young.

In view of the widespread interest
manifested in the proposition to have
colt show in Oakland in October, at
which prizes will be awarded for the
best colts, it may be of interest to give
some pointers in growing and the care
of colts.
A local breeder prescribes the follow
ing simple rules:
Colts should be curried and brushed
twice day for at least ten or fifteen
minutes.
Use care when colts are Young, and
do not take them on long trips.
When feeding them bran, the bran
should be from a local mill that grinds
on old-fashioned, stone burs, as it is
much better than the commercial.
The following is from the Breeders
Gazette:
MAKING FoALS GROWING.
Few foals are made to grow; most of
them are not even given chance to do
so. This season, with an abundant
growth of pastures, the Youngsters are
left more than ever to shift for them
selves. If foal gets what milk its
dam happens to give and what grass it
cares to eat, that IS generally consider
ed enough. The difference in effect be-
tween such treatment and careful feed
ing is seldom realized. The foal will
live and gradually attain more size even
under plan of semi-starvation, but no
big horse was ever made that way.
We mate ton stations with 1000
pound mares and raise colts of more
size than the mares. The trouble is
with the feeding, and mainly with the
feeding during the first year. The ton
weight is an unnatural size and its pro-
duction calls for more than the natural
amount of feed, and yet with mares
giving less that the natural amount of
milk and foals running on restricted
pasture some wonder why they cannot
secure as much size as European breed
ers. Economy usually demands that
brood mares be worked, but hard work
unavoidably decreases the milk flow to
some extent. Necessarily on high
priced land our pastures are small and
give little choice of heritage. We must
supplement the foal's consequent short
age of nourishment and also allow a
surplus for the extra growth sought,
and it takes the best of feed to do so.
AS soon as foal shows an inclination
to nibble at the grain in its mother S
feedboX it should be regularly supplied
with all it Will eat two or three times a
day. Nothing is better than crushed
oats and bran to start with, and later
on the crushing may be discontinued as
the youngster gets able to do its chew
ing thoroughly. A toal eats best when
standing beside its dam with feedbox
Just out of her reach.
1t takes more grain to raise colt in
this way than when leaving it to rustic
for itself, but size has more cash value
than the enforced rustling habit. Be-

WRIT OF ERROR GRANTED.
Supreme Court Considering Suit Over
Board Insurance Policies.

The question as to whether COR
poration has an insurable interest in
the life of its president, was present
ed to the State Supreme Court Of
Appeals for decision, the problem be-
ing involved in the suits of the B. F.
Board Motor Truck Company, Of this
city against the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New York, and
Board, Armstrong G. Company against
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
Of New York. The courts granted
writs of error and supersedeas in
Doth appsals.
In October of 1911 the Mutlal Life
) insurance Company of New York,
wrote one policy for $4,000 on the
life of Benjamin F. Board, with the

as beneficiary, and a second policy on
The same day for $4,000 on Boards
life with the Board Armstrong Com
pany as beneficiary. In both in
stances the beneficiary corporations
paid the initial premium and contract
ed to settle other premiums as they
fell due.
Board was killed on March Is, 1912,
oy falling sixty-two feet from a wind
nil tower at night, under circum-
stances that led the insurance COM
pany to suspect suicide. 1mmedi-
ately after his death, the company re-
fused to pay the premiums. The two
cases were carried to the Circuit
Court in this city and the juries
awarded the plaintiffs the full amount
Of the policies with interest in each

REVISION DOWNWARD.
Better Understanding, it is Believed,
Will Follow Between the White
House and Capitol.

Washington, March 24.-President
Wilson became very potent factor in
the tariff revision situation Today. II
was announced at tine White House
that the President ana Oscar W. Un-
derwood chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, and man
whose name the new bill will bear,
will hold a conference in the executive
office at $50 tonight.
Tariff revision downward will be the
subject of the conference. Underwood
will bring along his bill for inspection.
1t is not expected to meet with the
entire approval of the President. The
latter changes that he believes the
gest changes that he believes the
party is pledged to and the result will
be a much better understanding be-
Tween the executive and legislative
branches than has ever heretofore ex-
listed on a matter of such vital import
ance.
Underwood comes at President Will
sons invitation. The latter believes
there is no reason why weeks should
be wasted in debating minor parts Of
a bill that must be made a party
measure. ?
So President Wilson will endeavor
to have the majority members of the
House and Means Committee and the
Senate Finance committee a unit on
Legislation before the bill is aatuallly
introduced
1t will be an easy matter to make
the tariff bill a caucus measure and in
sure its passage whether there is dis
satisfaction with its provisions by GER
tain members or not. As party meas
ure approved by the caucus, all Demo-
Gratis will be forced to vote for the
bill. Ard clog rolling" os the trading
off of schedules has been characteri-
zed, will be thing of the past.
This is the first time in many years
that president has openly taken a
hand in a tariff fight. Heretofore it
has been the custom for the executive
to do his work "behind closed doors.
But Wilson has positively refused to
eliminate his personality in this mat
ter. He takes the position that he is
the regularly constituted leader Of the
Democracy and that the people look to
him to redeem the party pledges.
Whether there will be any serious
friction because Of what some of the
older senators and congressman char
acterize in private as Executive in
terference with the legislative body"
is problemaric. The President has
made it very plain that he does not
care, that he will insist on party pied
ges being kept, and that if Congress
does not do its duty, he will appeal to
the people forthwith.
