WEED OUT USELESS
RAMS AND WETHERS
Keep Sheep Supplied With Salt
Variety of Feed Is Best
Keep Lambs Growing.

Weed old rams and wethers out Of
the flock and send them to the mar
ket. They are nuisance with ewes
and small lambs.
Don't let the sheep get half-starved
for salt. If you do, when you salt
them they will eat so much they will
be sick. Give some every day. In
everything be regular and moderate.
Feed rations that will keep the
bowels regular. Variety is what we
need to aim at.
There is little to eat in the pastures
yet, so keep the sheep in. AS soon
as they get taste of green grass they
will not want dry hay, and are apt to
fall off in flesh; that you do not want
for the lambs must be kept growing.
When your lambs get enough good
milk from their mothers they will
grow. It is the hungry lambs that
stand around bleating and With backs
bumped. It looks bad Lively lambs
are the ones that will bring you the
money a little later.

WEAVING THE PIGS
is NOT DIFFICULT
Little Fellows Should Be Given
Sufficient Food to Make
Them Independent.

If the pigs have been properly man.
aged for the first month after they
begin to eat, and are taking feed in
amounts sufficient to make them more
or less independent of the sows milk,
weaving will not be difficult matter.
The time to wean will depend on tho
way the pigs are eating. If they are
not thoroughly accustomed to a grain
and skim milk ration the time must be
delayed. If the sow is not to be bred
soon there is no harm done by letting
the pigs run with her until the age OF
twelve weeks or longer.
Breeders differ widely as to the age
at which pigs are weaned. The ma
jority wean at six to ten weeks; some
wean earlier than this.
A considerable number let the pigs
run with the SOW until her instinct
tells her that they are old enough to
shift for themselves. If the sow is
taken away and is still milking she
may be returned to the pigs once a
day for two or three days until dry.

HE HAD AN EXCELLENT ALIBl
Scheme to Avoid Arrest for VIC
latlng the Speed Law.

He got himself an automobile of
standard make last summer and had
a good deal OF enjoyment out of it.
It should be explained that he is a
man of some prominence in his COM
munity, for he is the town constable
and widely and popularity known for
miles around, says the Brockton
(Mass) Enterprise. When in his new
auto he was the victim of many re-
quests for a lift" and as he is of
the accommodating sort most of the
people of the town have had ride
in that car.
But his new possession brought an
outbreak in him during the summer
season of that well-known disease.
speed MANIA After he had learned
to handle that auto it became his de-
light to go careening over the roads
at from forty to fifty miles an hour,
and to whirl down the main street in
a swirl of dust, startling every horse
in sight and sending modest plodding
teams into the gutter to make way
for him. One day friend, after wit
Messing his dash down Main street
and spectacular stop at his Office
shook his head and remarked:
"What'd We dew, constable, II they
should try tew arrest We for speeding"
Dew" said the constable. "What'd
I dew, cap'n? Why, I'd jus pull my
coat back, show 'em my badge and
tell 'em I'm tryin' to catch man
wanted on a warrant" and the con-
stable pulled his cigar contentedly.

WANTED MONEY FOR SERVICE
Much to cIergyman's Disappointment
Former Ambassador Expected
His Reward In This World.

A clergyman, whose name is not
necessary to the chronicle. had in
voked the services of former Ambassa-
dor Choate in the settlement of a
much-involved and heavy estate. He
received his bill in due time. Mr..
Choate, it may be remarked by way of
parenthesis, did not become a mil
ionaire, and thus enable himself to
accept an office whose annual ex-
penses are $4,000 more than its emol-
hments, by emitting to send bills to
clients. The clergyman, accordingly,
was not overlooked.
The client appeared in few days
with smile of depreciation.
II always understood, Mr.. Choate,"
he objected, that you gentlemen of
the bar, were not in the habit of charg-
ing clergymen for your services"
''You are much in error" returned
Mr.. Choate firmly, much in error.
You look for your reward in the next
world, but we lawyers have to get
ours in this"

FEEDING ENSILAGE
AND DRY ROUGHAGE
Success Depends Upon Produc-
ing Most Milk at Least Cost
Safe Rule to Follow.

No fixed rule can be laid down to
feeding that will apply to all cows
alike; and yet success depends upon
procuring the most milk at the least
cost, from each COW in the herd.
Cows must be fed to their full ca
pacity, to obtain the best results, but
there is as great necessity not to
overfeed as there is not to underfeed.
Care should be exercised not to feed
too large an amount of grain to pro-
portion to roughage.
A safe rule to follow is to feed
twice as many pounds Of roughage as
Of grain. If the COW will eat ten
pounds of grain food and 20 pounds
Of roughage there will be little, If
any, danger of her going off her feed.
When feeding ensilage it is safe to
estimate three pounds of ensilage to
one pound Of dry roughage.
AS rule the kinds of roughage that
have the greatest protein content will
be found preferable to carbonaceous
forage and fodder plants.

PROPER CARE FOR
HORSES AND COLTS
Oats Go Well With Timothy Hay
Straw and Corn Diet Is
Liable to Cause Trouble.

Oats are the best general food for
a horse, and go we'll with timothy hay.
Once or twice a week give a feed of
corn and clover with bran mash. Give
only what will be eaten up clean.
Some horses are predisposed to-
collie, and a straw and corn diet is
almost sure to cause trouble at fire.
quent intervals with such cases.
Horses fed regularly often get in
the habit of paving in the stable.
Feed them regularly, and if not driven
or used every day turn the horses out
into the yard for exercise.
Many horses are ruined by being
brought into the barn too hot and left
to stand in cold draft, or hitched to
a post to stand, unblanketed, facing
the wintry blasts.
If you starve the colt the first win
ter, he is liable to come out very thin
in the spring and worth less than
when weaned.
Some farmers keep their horses on
straw with just little grain in win
ter. Bran should make part of such
a ration.
1t is believed by many that clover
hay gives the horses heaves. This is
a mistake. If horse is fed the prop
en- quantity of clover and not over
fed, there is no danger of the heaves.
Do not give horses water immedi-
ate1y after eating. An hour after they
have finished their meal is soon
enough to water them.
The colts training must begin short
ly after birth. A halter should be put
on SO he can be caught and handled
every day. Never tease him.

Both for farm work and for sale, IL e
heavy horse is good money-maker.
In past years the so-called fast horse"
was the ideal animal, but now the au-
tomobile has driven the running horse
out of business. The carriage horse of
today is heavier animal than in days
gone by.
The farmer now who goes to work
in the field, or who hauls loads on the
road, cannot afford to spend his time
with light team that can draw only
a small load. Labor is too scarce and
too high priced. Deeper blowing, and
more work must be done on the same
acreage. 1t is imperative that heavier
teams must be used.
For a number of years the weight
of best selling horses on the city mar
kets has steadily increased. Only a
few years ago horses weighing from
1000 to 1,400 pounds each were con-
sidered large enough for heavy team.
ing. Now the demand is for 1000
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1915-04-23

pounds to ton. No city company can
afford to hire an expensive man to
drive light team. Increased supply
and sale of commercial products has
brought this condition.
For these reasons the heavy horse
has risen in value of late years, and
the importing and breeding of heavy
horses has been taken up on a large
scale. But the demand for heavy
horses has always exceeded the sup
ply. Good heavy drafters weighing
around 1900 pounds find ready sale at
over $500, and choice ones of this class
in the largest cities bring from $500
to $500.
There is every evidence that the
heavy horse is the coming work animal
for both farm and city, and that good
prices will hold, if not increase, for
years to come.
The farmer who is in the field for
making side money from his horses
will be wise to breed for weight and
finish.

COMFORT OF HORSE
is OF IMPORTANCE
Remove Harness at Noon While
Animal Is Eating-Remove
All Dust and Sweat.

The work horses should be fed early
in the morning and they should have
a liberal feeding. The comfort and
rest of the horses will be vastly pro
NOTED if the harness is entirely re-
moved at noon while they are feeding.
Rub them down carefully and cleanse
from dust and sweat.
Allow them plenty of time for a
good meal and partial digestion before
they are put to work for the after
noon. 1t is poor policy to put them
to work after eating a hearty meal.
