PROPER FEED FOR THE COLT
Fresh Pasture Grass Is Excellent
Supplement With OIL Meal. Bran,
Corn, Oats and Alfalfa.

Some farmers believe that a colt
will make UP as a horse the growth
that it does not make as a colt AS a
matter of fact a colt or any other
young animal that is not kept growing
Is very likely " to become as
large and strong as it would have
been had ii thrived while young. The
colt should receive the proper kind
of feed and be fed literally. The feed
should be nutritious and palatable
Among the best colt feeds is fresh
pasture grass. This should be sup
plemented with oil meal, corn, oats
bran and alfalfa or clover nay.
Where it is possible to do so the
colts should be kept in the stable
away from flies during the day, given
all the alfalfa or clover hay they will
eat and one pound of the following
grain mixture TO each 100 pounds OF
colts Six pounds OF oats or corn
three pounds of bran and one pound
OF oil meal.-Ohio Bulletin.

CARING FOR THE RAM
Head of Average Farm Flock Re-
ceives Little Attention.
Should Be Given Every Opportunity to
Keep Strong and Healthy Before
Breeding Season 5esins-GiVe
Abundance of Water.

Usually, the ram which heads the
average farm flock receives very lit
tie care from the time he Is turned
out to pasture in the spring until the
advent of the breeding season in the
fall. Then, about the only thing which
is done Is to turn him in with the ewes
and allow mating to occur at random.
Perhaps this is the sort OF care and
management which results in many
barren ewes and weak lambs.
The mating season is naturally one
of severe strain on the ram and he
should be gwen every possible oppor-
tunity to keep strong and healthy.
This means that he ought TO have the
proper kind of care, even before the
breeding season begins. OF course,
II the pasture Is plentiful, there Is not
any need OF feeding anything else
during the early part Of the grazing
season. However, as the hot weather
comes and the grass becomes less
abundant and less %succulent, 1t may
be advisable TO feed other roughage
or perhaps a little grain.
Especially during the month just
preceding the mating season should
the ram get the best Of feed and care,
for experience has shown that the ram

TREATING HOGS WITH SERUM
Produces Immunity of Sufficient Du-
ration to Allow Ample Time for
Cleaning Up the Yards.

(By J. B.. GINGERY, Missouri Expert
ment Station.)
The veterinary department of the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton has been recommending and u.s.
ing the serum alone treatment. The
question is often heard, Why the
serum alone treatment" The serum
alone treatment properly administered
has for it's object the control and
eventually the absolute eradication of
hog cholera. 1t makes it possible in
a large measure to do away with vac
cination with it's attending cost and
trouble. The serum alone treatment
is a safe method to use and is SIM
pie. 1t can be handled with good re-
suits by the careful inexperienced
man. There are nom of the bad after
results such as sometimes follow 9TH
er treatments.
Serum alone can neither start new
outbreaks of cholera nor bring the in
lection on your noninfected farm.
When administered under proper con.
ditions it produces an immunity Of
suflclent duration to allow ample
time for cleaning up and disinfecting
the yards and in this way destroying
the infection before the hogs outgrow
the immunity. Under ordinary condi-
lions this is of far greater importance
tina simply protecting hogs from the
cholera for a varying period of time
and not making any attempt to avoid
h~arboring the germs. The germs,
whether in the litter about the pens
or In the virus of the double treat
ment, will cause the disease to de-
velop. II cholera is to be controlled
1t Is necessary to destroy the germs.
The use of the serum alone is to pro-
tect the hogs until the germs can be
destroyed by cleaning up, burning and
di~sinfecting.

HENRY ALLOWED BOND
 OF $2OOO BY FERGUSON

Declaring that if jury were to bring in verdict of murder on the evidence submitted before him yesterday, he would discharge him. Judge Charles w. Fergu- son of the city court of Birmingham ad- mitted Shan Henry, indicted for train wreclSing, to bond in the sum of 5000.
 Bond was sought by the defendant by habeas corpus proceedings, which were heard yesterday and large number of witnesses were examined. Judge Fergu- son at the conclusion of the hearing TITS, set the bond at 5000, but on the pleas of the defendants attorney and the defend- ant himself, who stated he was unable to make the above. the judge reduced it 5000.
 The state did not place Amos smith and Archer Lee. upon whose confession the case of the state largely relies, on the stand, but examined the officers to whom the confession was made. The de- fendant denied all knowledge of the crime stating that he went to bed on the night of the@ wreck between ana o'clock, and did not go to the scene of the disaster until next morning. His motner-in-law, Mrs. Hyatt, testified to the same effect. He emphatically branded as false and untrue the statements made by Amos Smith and Archer Lee to detectives.

 It is said, too, that members of the department in the future will be denied the privilege of giving interviews to police reporters in which their own conduct in trying situations is the motif. All state- ments for the public will, in the future, come. it is understood, from Inspector Turner.

 Had Hearing
FEED BILL IS MORE
 THAN CUT IN HALF
Reduction of 790 Cases Result of Work of Term-Record Is Being Pre- pared and Will Show Re-
 markable Results

That three judges on the criminal bench of Jefferson county are not only furthering the ends of Justice by af- fording speedy trials, but the change has proved of great saving to the state as evidenced by the cost of feeding the prisoners confined in the county jail for the month of May 1914, as com pared with the feed bill paid for May this year. For May 1914, under the two judge system. it cost the state $s1s3; for Mry. 1915, under the three -juds system, the feed bill was s1so5. Ii is
 authoritively stated the comparison for
 theSmonth of June will show even greater saving.
 On December 21, 1914, there were 3I4 prisoners confined in the county jail. On July l, 1915. the number had been reduced to Al, the smallest number of prisoners in the county Jail at one time for many years Under the two judge system prisoners charged with
 minor offences were sometimes com pelled to stay in jail for months await ing trial under the three-judge sys-
 tenn in the large majority of cases these
 were tried in "a few days.
 On the docket of the criminal court
 on December 21, 1914. there were S2ss | cases. On July 1, 1915. the number had
 been reduced to 25o8, reduction of 7s0. During the several months Judge
 John II. Miller has been sitting as spe- cial judge In the criminal court he has
 disposed of hundreds of cases. having
 taken up the misdemeanor docket in the second division.
 This enabled Judge w E. Fort. sen
 for judge, and Judge II. P. Henin. as sociate judge, to give their entire time to the capital and noncapital felony cases. A record Is being prepared of
 the cases disposed of and 1t is stated will show a great record Before the close of the term ending June 26, prac- tically every prisoner confined in tho county Jail had been given an oppor- tunity to be tried.
 When 1t Is recalled that there are on the criminal docket at the present time 250S untried cases and that by the time the court reconvenes there will be several hundred more the necessity for the additional judge Is apparent The saving in the feed bill to the state will be far above the salary of the additional judge, but, like working the
 convicts on the public roads, the mone- tary consideration Is not a circumstance 0 to the humanitarian features, nor does 1t compare with the moral effect of speedy trials that In the opinion of all crlminologfsts best serve the ends of Justice.
