Take half a day to examine and
trim up your colts feet. Many young
horses are injured by letting their
feet grow wild.
Rasp the rough edges, and in case
Of sand or quarter cracks rasp at the
top of the crack deep enough to stop
it, and then trim down the edges.
Sometimes it is best to have the
blacksmith put light shoe on.
Don't neglect a sand or quarter
crack that may lead to serious injury
later on.
While it may pay any farmer to buy
heavy work horses it will pay him still
better to breed them on his own farm.
Use big draft mares for farm work
and sell the geldings to swell the
bank account or make substantial pay
ment on the mortgage.
The larger the geldings grow the
more money they will bring. The
more feed they get, as a general prop
osition, the larger they grow.
The tillage, the crops and the in
come from the farm are all more or
less dependent upon the economical
management of the work teams.
Attention to feeding, with respect
to the feed itself and to the method,
will reduce the cost of horsepower re-
CURED to do the farm work.
An attractive opportunity awaits
farmers who undertake the production
of high-class commercial mules, and
it is certain that many farmers will
grasp the opportunity within the next
few years.
Whether brood mares or geldings, it
is the well-fed horse that exhibits the
greatest endurance and efficiency in
the harness.
All kinds of breeding stock require
good shelter-that is, dry, clean, COM
Portable and so constructed that there
Will always be an abundance of pure
air without exposing the animals to
cold drafts.
Brood sows and breeding ewes re-
quire plenty of room and will thrive
best if separated in punches, so as
to prevent crowding and fighting at
the trough and feed racks.
Pregnant animals should not be
kept with other animals, where they
will be compelled to fight their own
way for a place to eat and drink, as
they are more subject to injury, and
violent exercise is quite apt to cause
serious trouble.
Exercise is an important essential
in the winter management of all kinds
of breeding animals, and the yards
should be large enough so that the
animals may go out and in as they
please during every pleasant day.
Many swine breeders make prac-
tice of feeding their brood sows at
quite a distance from their sleeping
quarters, in order to induce them to
exercise freely, and l have found this
an excellent plan, for many sows be-
come sluggish during pregnancy and
will not exercise unless compelled to.

There is no avoiding the fact that
we must reckon with the San jose
scale if we are to raise good fruit.
Some states have escaped it longer
than others, partly because they were
not so generally engaged in frult
growing, partly, perhaps, because they
began at once to look after the pest
when it's presence was discovered IN
other states. But the scale has been
gradually invading our orchards until
it is now liable to be discovered on
fruit trees anywhere in the United
States. This means simply that we

For small nursery of a few thousand

The inside of the box should be paint

wedges so as to prevent the escape

WHITE HOUDANS
by Louis Paul Graham

OF all the new breeds and varieties
OF poultry which have been introduced
to the poultry raising public during
the last half century not one on its
initial appearance has been presented
so nearly perfect as has the White
Houdan.
Their originator worked on them
for seven or eight years before he Of
fered any for exhibition or for sale
and his first exhibit of these novel
fowls was striking. White Houdans
are equally as good in shape. size and
laying qualities as the original mottled
variety. which has won such fame as
a heavy producer of large white eggs
and as n good table fowl at the same
time.
The greatest drawback to the dark
variety as a table fowl has been its
dark pin feathers. This, however. is
entirely eliminated in the new variety.
and this feature alone is sufficient TO
commend the variety to those produc-

ers of table variety for certain mar
ketS.
The Houdan is an old French breed
and has been we'll known in certain
sections of France for many centuries,
where it has been continuously held
in high esteem as wonderful egg
layer and table fowl of superior eN-
cellence. During all those years il
has been bred continuously in its mot
tied black and white plumage. but it
remained for the ingenious fancier of
the twentieth century TO change its
plumage to white and thus make the
Houdan even more valuable.
These fowls give good results either
on free range or in limited quarters.
The chicks are rapid growers when
once started. doing best. of course, on
free range. They make excellent
broilers and splendid roasting chick
ems. When full grown the females
weigh ) y to . Il pounds. and males
6 y to : y pounds. They are very do
cile and easily confined by a rather
low fence.

Use and Value
of the Trap Nest

The trap nest is another of
mans inventions that has reduced
the hen laying business to
science. 1t is a great economizer,
as it eliminates the loafing hen
from the flock and heads her to
the market.
The industrious hen has nothing
to fear from the trap. She is la
beled at once as a paying proposi-
tion and often rises to the distinc-
tion of being set aside for the
brooding pen. as egg-laying is the
quality most sought by poultry
raisers.
Next weeks article will tell how
the trap nest can be used to best
advantage.
Look for it appearing exclusively
