ingredients Existing IN 3he Soil
Should Be Utilized and Developed.
In the unusual conditions existing in
the fertilizer trade says a statement
just issued by the secretary of agricul-
ture, it is important that all fertilizing
materials on the farm, especially those
containing potash, should be conserv-
ed. The fertilizer ingredients already
and developed to the fullest extent.
A great deal can be accomplished in
this direction by deep blowing, con-
slant cultivation and thorough tillage.
There should be a proper system of
rotation. Especially where one crop
has been grown for several years
different one should be planted this
year. Green manures and cover crops
should be used as much as possible in
their proper rotation.
OF the organic substances manure,
both solid and liquid, is the most i'm
portant and should be utilized when
ever possible. All material of an or
ganic nature, such as leaves and bed
ding of various sorts, should be COM
posted and the compost applied to the
soil, Special attention should be given
also to the conservation of wood
ashes. Depending on the character of
the wood, they contain potash in guam
titles varying ordinarily from to 10
per cent All tree trimmings brush
cuttings, etc, should be burned and
the ashes derived therefrom utilized.
The application Of lime to many
soils is of undoubted benefit Though
the availability of the fertilizing ele-
ments In the soil may not be greatly
increased by its use, the resulting i'm
provement in physical and bacterial
conditions may increase considerably
the prOductiveness Of the soil.

Caring For The Colt In Winter.


The important question Of how to
care for the growing colt through the
winter cenfronts the farmer. Many
colts will be taken from pasture with
go0dly store of fat only to be turned
out to q straw pile for feed and shell
ter and will come out next spring light
er in weight than they are now. On
the other hand, not a few colts may
be ruined by heavy feeding in stalls,
where they cannot take exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts is a tight
ly built shed, open to the south, where
the animals may go in and out at their
own pleasure and where they may
have the run of a good big field for ex-
crcise Idle farm horses can best be
sheltered in the same way. A dry bed
and protection from cold winds and
rain are all that is needed.
Two parts Of oats preferably crush
cd and one part Of bran make very
suitable feed for growing colts In
cold weather a little corn may be add
cd not to exceed p per cent Of the
ro0ta0. If clover or alfalfa is used as
half Of the rou2hage ration no oilmeal
win be needed, but if the roughage
consists Of wild hay or corn stover
about 8 per cent of oilmeal should be
added to the grain ration. Where oats
are high in price and barley is plenti-
full a ration Of crushed barley, 60 per
cent; bran. 30 per cent and clinical, 10

When oats are no more expensive

this vigorous building food. Oats put
