Of urging and should stand hitched
without pulling fiercely while the dam

days old. This may easily be accom-
plished by the careful nan who will
give a little time each day to training.
Do not fail to do this and make the
excuse that you do not have the time
to fuss with the foal. An hour at this
time will accomplish more Of value
than will ten hours with the unhandled
foal six months from now and with
only a fraction of the danger to foal

The unhandled foal at weaving age
that has made a commendable growth
and has a reasonable degree Of horse
spirit is as strong and often as vicious
as a mature bull and when cornered In
a stall for the beginning Of his train
ing is liable to injure himself as well
as his would be trainers. Too many
horses have their dispositions perma-
nently injured by this kind Of treat
ment. 1t is absolutely necessary to use
considerable force under such circum.

have been secured in the foal's young

SHEEP ON PASTURE.

Shade Should BE Provided For the
Flock During Hot Weather.
A treeless pasture is good neither for
sheep nor any other animal. Sheep
may do well on the sunny open ranges
Of the extreme west, but in the corn
belt the hot weather Of midsummer
demands that they have some sort Of
a refuge at times from the direct blaze
Of the sun. says an Illinois shepherd.
I believe in this so strongly that /
would put up some sort of shelter
sheds in any pasture where sheep run
in summer if there were no trees. l
would build them on the hill slopes
and make them dark enough that they
would be a refuge from flies when
those insects are at their worst. Watch
your sheep for an hour or so some
warn day when the flies are h~arassing
them and you WILL understand why
sheep sometimes fail to gain even on
the best of pasture.

down If the bigger and tougher speci-

r, A change Of pasture makes healthy
sheep. We did not know why this was
until a few years ago. but scientific in
vestigation has shown that IN old
sheep pasture is always tainted by the
presence Of many forms Of parasitic
life that prey upon sheep. The problem
Of tainted pasture should be given
plenty Of attention during the summer.
Where the pasture is big enough and
the number Of sheep will warrant 1t,
the best possible method is to cut the
pasture up into tracts Of several acres
each and sift the sheep from tract to
tract during the summer. Two or three
weeks is long enough for sheep to re.
main on a pasture tract.

CHOOSING THE BOAR.
Head Of the Hog Herd Should Be Sc
Iected With Great Care.

Head Of the Hog Herd Should Be So.
Iected With Great Caro-.
The most exacting n should be
exercised in choosing the herd boar.
writes F. c. Minkler in Rural New
Yorker. He is by far the most Inn
portant and influencing animal in the
herd, for indirectly he stamps every
pig farrowed. Upon his potency and
ability to perpetuate fixed character
istics depend the number and type of
pigs produced. He should be pure
bred and registered and belong to the
same breed as the sows. He must
possess those qualities desired in his
pigs. for like begets like. He must be
masculine. resolute and vigorous.
Exercise is of prime importance. for
many males are absolutely ruined as
breeders by close confinement and
heavy feeding. 1t has been demon
strated time and again that small.
weak filters are the result of inactivi-
ty on the part of the male previous to
mating. He should have outdoor ex-
ercise every day. preferably in an
open yard adjacent to the brood sows.
Mature boars should be used when
ever possible. as their services usually
result in stronger. larger and more
uniform filters.
The use of the breeding crate makes
it possible to mate young gifts with
heavy males without injury. Coarse
headed. heavy shouldered. narrow
backed. deep rumped males with long
coarse legs. shallow bodies and slim
hams. should never be used for serv-
ice. The pigs sired are bound to show
like habits Of growth and undesirable
conformation. Quality. finish and EVIL
dent breeding must stand out pre-emi-
nently.
Well grown gifts may be bred when
nine months old. but in the absence of
size and vigor delay is necessary. The
period Of CESSATION is sixteen weeks
or ia days. Two filters per year
may be obtained from aged sows. pref
erably in March and September. or
April and October, provided suitable
narrowing quarters and good care AN
be furnished. Otherwise May or June
pigs can best take care of themselves.
Brood sows or gifts must not be fat or
fleshy at mating season or at any
other time unless intended for slaugh-
ter. Small. weak filters and uneasy
mothers result from such practice.

PRINCESS ALEXANDER OF TEcK.

OF TECK.
The announcement that Prince Alex
ander of Teck has been appointed to
succeed the Duke of Connaught as
governor general of Canada is of spe-
cial interest since it will give another
royal lady to Ottawa to fill the posi-
ton Of first lady of the Dominion.
Prince Alexander of Teck is the IA
vorite brother of Queen Mary of Eng
land. He is a gentleman of simple
tastes. great amiability and irreproach-
able private character. His wife is
the Princess Alice Of Albany. daughter
Of Prince Leopold, who was the young
est son of Queen Victoria. Princess
Alice's mother. the Duchess Of Albany,
is a sister of the dowager queen of the
Netherlands, and the princess is there
fore cousin to Queen Wilhelmina Of
Holland as well as cousin to the king
of England. Her brother is the reign
ing Duke Of Saxe-Coburg Gotha.
Much Of her childhood was spent un-
der the wing Of her grandmother,
Queen Victoria. Queen Mary may be
said to have made the match which
united Princess Alice Of Albany with
the Duke of Teck, who is royal only on
his mothers side. Fortunately the
match has been a happy one. Both
husband and wife are devoted to their
two charming children, Princess May,
who is eight, and Prince Rupert. who
is just seven years old.

RATIoNs FOR A BULL.

siIaas Believed to Have a Tendency to
Produce lmpoteney.
While the conditions on the average
farm pertaining to the r Of the bull
are not as bad as they were ten years
ago. still on many farms the bulls are
so neglected that their care almost
amounts to cruelty to animals, writes
a correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman.
Usually the dirtiest and darkest corner
of the barn IL selected for the bulls
stall. whereas the very opposite ought
to be true. as he must be kept in the
barn a large part Of the time. and for
this reaso particularly needs sun-
shine. light and cleanliness.
The first thing to be considered Is
the feed Of the bull. and I think the
one ideal ration for a bull is plenty Of
good clover hay or mixed clover and
timothy. Then. in addition to this. I
would give four to eight pounds a day
of grain ration consisting almost ex-
clusively Of bran and ground oats. II
l were to add anything to this ration
it would be one pound Of oil meal.
Next to clover hay I would prefer al
falfa. and the feed of a bull is per-
haps the only place where I would pre-
fer clover to alfalfa.
While many breeders have been sue
cessful in feeding a bull some corn sill
age and while. as far as the bulls con-
dition goes. it is a very desirable feed.
my own personal experience and that
Of many other breeders as well II that
1t has a tendency to make the bull i'm
potent. due probably to its excessive
carbohydrates rather than to its sue
culence. On the farm where they are
grown this succulence can be supplied
with roots to better advantage.
A bull should also be given all the
clean water be can drink at least once
q day.

Feedina Bull.


Cottonseed hulls are not q good feed
for dairy bulls. They are rich in car
bohydrates and lack in the element
protein. says Hoard's Dairyman. Cot
tonseed meal may be fed at the rate
Of one pound a day, but It Is doubtful
whether It would be advisable to feed
more than this. The bull should have
q liberal allowance Of hay rich in pro.
tein; clover. alfalfa Or cowpea hay
should be fed In abundance. This hay
may be supplemented with ground
oats. bran and corn, equal parts BY
weight, and then feed about one pound
Of cottonseed meal per day-in short,
10 bull should have plenty Of good ex-
ercise and then a ration rather rich In
the element protein.
