THE DRAFT wEANLlNG.

Colts Need Feed That Will Develop
Bone and Muscle.
Oats, preferably crushed or ground.
is the best single grain to feed a
weanling colt. Here at the station our
weanlings have developed well when
the grain ration was two-thirds by
weight Of ground oats and one-third
ground corn. the hay being alfalfa.
When the roughage is anything but a
good quality Of legume hay it is best
to make the grain ration one:f0urth
to one-ffth bran. says Professor j. L.
Edmonds Of the Illinois experiment
station. 1t is not possible to state in
pounds just the amount Of feed that
will be required, but good. sound draft
weanlings will pay handsomely If fed
all the grain that they will clean up
three times per day. Good quality oil
alfalfa and clover are the best rough
ages. They are growers of bone and
muscle.
Weanlings ought not to be exposed
to the elements at night or on the
stormiest days. Access to q roomy.
closed shed or run in tours in a roomy
box will be found right. The run Of
a good blue grass field will afford ex
ercise and some feed. Plenty of ex-
ercise in the open with the chance to
grow a good coat is as, essential as
feed in making a good frame. Wean-
lings handled in this manner may look
a bit shaggy: but they will do much
better than the pampered kind. 1t is
hard to feed too much If the feeding
is done regularly and the opportunity
for exercise is right. Puffy joints and
cooked ankles. unless the tendency is
strongly inherited. come from heavy
feed and not enough play in the open.
Weanlings do better when by them
selves than when running and feeding
with older horses.
Grooming when the bedding is plen-
tiful is not much In need under this
system. The feet should be regularly
looked after at least nee a month. A
good hoof rasp is the proper tool with
which to level up the foot. Don't let
the. toes get too long and keep the

in THE DAIRY BARN.


, Do not ask the COW to make
!. milk and keep herself warm with
the same feed. At least give her
a fair chance to be protected from
the storms and then let her, use
the feed for milk making alone.
The COW is a machine that must
convert food into milk. This is
one reason why she should have
such a large middle, for there is
the place where the food must be
worked over.
Milk that is kept clean and
properly cooled needs no preserv-
alive.
Comfort is essential to pro1ta-
BILE milk production. and a cow
cannot he comfortable without
good bedding. Don't forget the
straw.
1t pleases the COW to be MIXED
quickly and gets her in the hab-
It of giving down promptly. 1t is
often the slow mixers that make
the strippers.

.ZOELLNER QUARTET
REPEATS SUCCESSES

A stellar musical event in Fargo
last night was the appearance of the
zoellner quartet father. two sons and
a daughter, which was presented at
Stones muse hall as the last number
OF the Artists course given during
the. present season by the Dakota con-
serVatory. The quartet was greeted
by an audience worthy it's metal and
every seat in the great room was filled.
Some music enthusiasts had to stand.
The ensemble work of the quartet
was perfect and the musicians present
certainly derived a great amount of
inspiration from the concert afforded
by the Zoeilners. Nc wonder was it
that wonderful, ",the best music of
that character ever heard in Fargo,
We're some of the comments heard as
the lovers of music emerged from the
building. The published program was
followed except the last number, which
by request was replaced by the suite
Oriental. :. magnificent work by he
distinguishes Russian composer. Ola
zaunow. Fol- an encore number which
followed was a movement by the fam
u French composer, Debussy, the
first time played in Fargo. The play
ing artists proved themselves not only
finished musicians but they play with
a display of artistic feeling which is
rarely heard. 1t was a wonderful pro-
duction and a glorious ending for the
artists course which at periods during
the winter has afforded so much pleas
ure to music overs who took the trou-
bic to avail themselves of it.

sound Manhood Wanted.

Washington Star: The rmy navy
and marine corpE standard of physical
manhood is one to which comparative
ly few Americans measure up. This
fact should turn peoples minds to the
question of good, wholesome living,
which means clean eating and plenty
of clean exercise. Because of the mar
tial uproar recruiting offices of the
army and navy have been besieged by
applicants for an enlistment. 1t IS re-
ported that at a recruiting office in
New York city one day last week 200
applicants were given physical exam
nations and of these only twenty-five
were enlisted. There are two ways OF
considering this condition. One is that
the military physical standard is very
high and the other that the general
physical average is very low. The
truth lies between these extremes.
However, there is in it a hin that boys
should take such care of themselves
that they shall grow up into sound and
strong men, and that men should take
such care Of themselves as to preserve
their strength and vigor.

something in the change t9at IS not ell
tirply apparent on the surface.
To those of us who were boys IN
those benlghted years when we refer
red to an automobile as a 'horselesS
Carriage' and considered it an lmprac-
tiCable fancy to be classed with per
pctual motion, the barn holds halloWed
place In our memories. What matters
if il sheltered. more often than not, the
winters woodpile and was the scene OF
our painful struggle with the buck ana

matter merely of refeCtion-that here
also was the scene OF humiliating
chastisement with the parental hand

These unpleasant reCOllections fade be

the haymow-

The good old hays so dry and soft,
An feels so fine, an smells so sweet,

And the barn was our haven and our
refuge. Here. if the mood seized us, we
found solitude, or, if we craved com

was better than the c~omradeship of ole
DObb!n and the sympathetic friendli-

the automobile must be housed. But
perhaps we may be ~pardoned If, with
the passing of the old and the advent
Of the new, we sigh for what used ia
