SOME HORSE SENSE.
Observation-Disclosures:

A small amount of linseed meal add
ed to the horse ration is invaluable.
Train the colt before he is six months
old and you can control his disposition
when he Is older.
1t weakens tho horses to keep them
shut up in a close stable during the
hot nights. Turn them out.
Horses that are clipped dry off fast
ut night. which is to be preferred to
standing in n heavy wet coat of hair.
1t is not the quantity of food taken
into the stomach. but the amount alb
sorbed in it. which benefits the system.
Raise the type of colt that sells best
in your community. Select the sire
and dam that will bring this type Of
colt.
Newly broken colts should not be
worked too hard. They are apt to
oyerstrain themselves and be injured
for life.
Do not let the little colt follow the
dam while she is at work If the dam
becomes heated the milk Is injurious TO
the colt.
A balky horse is made so by cranky
or cruel driver and can rarely be cured
SO be very careful in breaking the
colts.
If the skin of the horse is kept clean
he will sweat more freely, which Is
necessary to keep him in good condl-
ton.

Don't Burn Straw.

Rotation investigations by many OF
the experiment stations indicate that
vegetable matter Is very important
ingredient in the soil and that straw
from any OF the grains, returned to the
land, adds materially to the production,
Hopkins of Illinois gives the value of
cat straw for manurial purposes at
$3.50 per ton. Wheat straw is valued
ut SOS per ton. The same relative
comparison gives the value of fresh
farm manure at 500 and barnyard
manure at S2.34 per ton.
ANY one who destroys a ton of wheat
or oat straw. therefore. is destroying
more fertilizing ingredients than are
contained in the average ton of manure
from the barnyard
The place for the straw Is back on
the land If it can 90 through the
medium of live stock, as food aud bed
ding for them, that is the best way to
return it. Where sufficient live stock
is not raised. however, to use all of
the straw in this way the straw should
