SKIMPING FOOD OF
COLT IS EXPENSIVE
Feed and Care Young Animal
Gets Determines Largely What
It Will Be Later On.

1t is a poor policy to skimp the colt 8
feed. says J. s. Montgomery Of the
animal husbandry division of the Min
nesota college of agriculture. The
feed and care a colt gets the first year
and half Of its life determines large
ly what 1t will be at maturity, Mr..
Montgomery says.
III the mare is worked, keep the
colt In cool, dark stall during the
day he suggests. For the first few
weeks after foaling, bring the mare to
the barn and allow the colt to suckle.
Do this in the middle of the forenoon
and in the middle of the afternoon, as
we'll as at morning. noon and night.
Encourage the colt to eat early,
preferably feeding crushed oats and
bran in equal parts. Let him have al
falfa and clover hay as soon as he will
cat 1t. Experience shows that . ra-
ton Of corn and alfalfa gives better
results than a ration Of corn and tim
othy or prairie hay"
Mr.. Montgomery says the best ra-
ton for the colt during the summer is
good pasture grass. Maximum growth
comes with a feeding OF some grain
with the pasture grass. Horses and
colts in the pasture should be given
ready access to fresh. cool, clean water
and to salt. A colt stunted early never
fully RECEIVERS, he says.
A little attention to the feet of the
colt will greatly repay by better feet
and legs in the mature horse. Mr..
Montgomery thinks. The heels should
be trimmed. he says. for they soon be-
come high. narrow and rolled under,
and the toes should not BE- allowed to
grow abnormally long.

SKIM MILK CALF IS
GROWING IN FAVOR
Equally as Growthy, Thrifty and
Vigorous as Those Allowed
to Run With Dams.

It is now fairly we'll understood.
says the Nebraska college of agricul.
tire. that calves properly raised on
skim milk are equally as growthy,
thrifty, and vigorous as those raised
upon the whole milk or those allowed
to run with their dams. In fact, the
skim milk calf will oftentimes show a
more rugged framework than a calf
1eaised on whole milk.
Except for the fat that has been
removed, skim milk is identical in
composition with whole milk. When
whole milk is taken into the calf's
body, the fat of the milk is used to
produce heat to keep the calf warm
and also to form body fat This same
function can be performed very much
more cheaply by starchy grains such
as corn, kafir corn and oats.
The protein of milk, which is the
constituent most concerned In muscu.
lar growth and the building up of the
vital organs, is equally as abundant in
skim milk as in whole milk.

Heidelberg went to bed with nerv-
GUS prostration when the news came
from Berlin. The leading business
men simply couldn't believe it, until
overwhelmed by the facts. Frau
Grandson was arrested, and made a
written confession, and 1t is a dis
appointment to know that she proved
a cheap sport. She tried to picture
herself as martyr of angelic quail
ties, who had been yoked with q mon
ster. But, notwithstanding all his
crimes. Grandisson retained the pub
lie sympathy. In fact. he was almost
hero; and the woman's story did her
no good. She was sent to prison for
two years. and 1t soon developed
through police researches. that she
was . detestable character. who was
honored far beyond her deserts by
her association with the magnificent

THE MAN OF MYSTERY.

One bright day in the winter OF
1902 Q gorgeous chariot drew up be-
fore the principal inn OF Heidelberg.
It was drawn by four prancing steeds,
which wore silver-mounted harness.
and the coach itself was lavishly deco
rated with expensive curlicues.
From this vehicle there presently
stepped forth a man OF stately and
commanding appearance, a lady Of
queenly bearing. and three small chill
dren. the party being followed by .
female servant.
There wasn't much doing at Heidel-
berg just then, and the coming of this
princely stranger created q sensation.
There was much coming and going OF
kings and princes in those days, and
1t was the general belief Of the town
people that the stranger belonged to
some royal house. There was some
disappointment when Herr Kinkel,
who made vinegar in large quantities,
announced that the stranger. Herr
Grandisson, was a merchant from
Denmark, and had talked with him
about buying . large shipment of his
product.
The days went by and Herr Gran
disson and his family remained at the
inn. while the herr himself made the
acquaintance Of the leading people OF
the vicinage. He was a most charm
ing man, highly educated and accom-
plished, and Of such stately manners
that people felt themselves honored
when he paused to converse with
them. 1t soon became known that II
he wasn't prince of a royal house.
he at least was a prince among mer-
chants. He had warehouses in many
lands. and ships on almost every sea.
There was great satisfaction in
Heidelberg when Herr Grandson an
nounced that he had concluded to re-
main there indefinitely. He had i'm
portant interests in Germany. and

FAVOR BLUE GRASS
FOR FEEDING SWINE
Not Generally Recognized That
Plant May Be Utilized for
Pork Production.

tBy F. B. MUMFORD. Dean of Missouri
College of AgrIculture)
Blue grass has long been probably
used by the Missouri farmer for feed
ing cattle. 1t has not been general,
recognized that it may also be util-
lied for pork production. At the Mis-
souri, experiment station during the
fve-year period from 1908 to 1912 the
average amount Of pork produced from
an acre Of blue grass amounted to S2S
when the live weight value of hogs
was calculated at eight cents per
pound.
In securing these returns from blue
grass pasture it is necessary to recog-
nize two qualities which clearly dis
tinguish blue grass from alfalfa, clover
and rape pasture. In the first place. a
much larger amount of grain must be
fed to hogs on blue grass than to hogs
on rape, clover or alfalfa. Another diff
ference lies in the fact that during the
middle OF the summer from about
July IL to August 80 blue grass is of
little or no value for hog pasture. Dur
ing this time clover, alfalfa or rape
pasture should be provided. The grain
fed to hogs on blue grass pasture
should be well balanced-a grain mix
ture OF six parts Of corn and one Of
linseed Oil meal, or ten parts of corn
and one part of tankage. A good rule
to follow In determining the amount
OF grain to be fed il to feed just as
much grain as will cause the animal
to gain an average of three-fourths Of
pound . day per 100 pounds live
weight.

An experiment for the purpose of
ascertaining the cost OF feeding mule
colts-the first accurate test of the
kind-began November 26, 1915, and
ended April 4. covering a period OF
40 days. The report of this expert
ment was one OF the interesting fea-
lures Of the third annual roundup at
Hays station of the Kansas agricul.
tural college.
The total cost of maintaining 81
mule colts, including both feed and
labor. was $252.y6, or sS16 per head
The average initial weight per animal
was 545 pounds. while the average
weight at the close Of the test was 654
pounds. gain of 1O9 pounds. The
mule colts were purchased. for the ex-
pertinent at the time of weaving.
Following is an itemized statement
Of cost Of maintenance: $50 pounds

pounds Of cane hay at $3.50 a ton,

was enamored Of the town, which
seemed an ideal place to educate his
children. He rented large and hand
some dwelling and went to housekeep,
ing in his usual princely way, with a
retinue Of servants. and fine horses
and carriages in the stables, and ev-
erything that money could provide.
Now and then he left the town for a
week or two to look after his i'm
portant business interests.
After being there some months.
Grandisson approached the chief of
police one day and showed him his
hat, which had been pierced by a bull
let.
Il have been shot at from ambush, -
said he, and you must find and pun
ish the miscreant who is guilty, or 1
must leave this town.
Needless to say. the chief of police
and all his underlings ruined their
suspenders trying to run down the
loathsome individual who had shot the
great mans hat. Most of the towns
people went sleuthing, to help the po-
lice. and the neighborhood Of Heidel-
berg was full of false whiskers and
dark lanterns, but all in vain. Not a
clew could be discovered. The leading
business men, the wheelhorses of COM
merce, called upon the herr and
begged him to remain notwithstand-
ing, but the great merchant was firm.
He didn't care . rix-dollar about his
life. he said. but his duty to others
forced him to be cautious. lisa
So he moved away. and for several
years was heard Of no more. But his
memory remained green. The leading
business men never ceased bewailing
his departure. He was the only Gus

were rs depressed as the business
men. Grandson was the life and
soul OF society. and with his depar-
ture the bottom dropped out Of every
thing.
Imagine. then, the happiness that
prevailed In Heidelberg when. In 1910,
another gorgeous equipage drew up
before the inn. and the great mer-
chant. with his wife and family, de-
scended from it! The whole town
gathered around him and cried "wie
Gehts?" and the leading business men
embraced each other and wept for
pure JOY. Herr Grandson was moved
to tears by the warmth Of his recep-
ton. He had come to stay this time,
he said. His heart had been aching
for Heidelberg wherever he roamed.
He had made up his mind to establish
q vine and fgtree among his good
friends. even if his hat were shot full
Of holes every time he went to the
post office.
His wife, dignified and beautiful,
was less enthusiastic, but she seemed
pleased to get back. The children had
grown into fine young springalds. and
the heirs first action was to engage
q learned professor to act as their tu-
tor. The family secured another fine
house, and settled down to the fami-
liar life. Grandisson's popularity in
the town increased. He was SO free
with his money. and he had such
coolies Of It; he was such a good talk
er. and knew so many amusing sto-
ries; he was SO deep in great CONNER
cial affairs. and 30 thoroughly posted
on all matters touching the wars, that
his company was a delight to every
body.
As In other days. he made occasion
al trips from town. and he never took
anybody into his confidence as to the
nature Of those trips. 1t was assumed
that he was looking after his business
interests
Thus things moved along, and
Grandson had become town insti-

seemed probable that he would live to
a green old age and die at last COW
cred with honors.
But one day the learned professor
who was teaching the children asked
for few private words with Frau
Grandson.
Your husband is away on one Of
his business trips?" he inquired, when
they were alone.

pressed anxiety; why do you ask"

In Case Of Influenza,

When influenza or distemper breaks
out among your horses it will save
much loss of time to have them vac
cinated with influenza antitoxin as
soon as the first case appears. Two
doses should be given about six days
apart. Better consult your veter-
marian.
