How you hated them, how you fought

Mothers who cling to the old form of

Drom Weekly Letter. United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
At this time of the year all the
heavy work on most farms has been
finished, and horses are more or less
idle. Since idle horses give no re
turn in labor performed, the feeding
should be as economical as possible,
and proper care should be taken of
the animals in order that they may be
in the best possible condition for work
in the early spring.
Horses should not be confined to
the barn during the winter on a lib
eral supply of grain. 1t is far better
to rough" them through the cold
months. They should be given tho
run Of the yard or lot during the day
They should be provided with a pro-
tected shed, ono that is thoroughly
dry and well provided with bedding
While nature does her part and pro-
tects the horse with heavy coat of
hair during the cold months, the shed
is necessary in order to afford the
necessary shelter and protection
against rain, snow and cold winds.
Winter winds come mostly from the

PRACTICAL LITTLE
HINTS ON HOG CARE
Muddy Pens Are Disagreeable to
Animals-Give Runts Atten-
tion-Give Pigs Charcoal.
By w. D. NEALL. colorado3

(By w. D. NEALL, Colorado)
Birds, dogs or men may carry hog
cholera from one farm to another.
Burning the hog that has died of
some disease is the only sure method
of preventing contagion.
The hog that has been allowed to
sleep in the old straw stack will soon
cough his health away.
Hogs of all ages and sizes do not
thrive when allowed to pile up to-
gether.
Muddy pens are disagreeable to the
hogs. Watch the hog pick the ear of
corn out of the mud and seek q dry
place to eat 1t and you will be fully
convinced of this fact.
1t pays to separate the runts from
the herd and give them special atten-
tion. BY this method you make them
profitable hogs.
Stops should not be carried from the
kitchen to the hogpen> if the good
housewife uses all kinds of wash pow
ders in the dish water, for many of
them are poisonous.
Pure skim milk Is good for the
growing pigs. Put a little bran with
1t and 1t Will be the rlcher. DO not
give much sour milk to very young
pigs for fear of the scours.
The dog that woods" the ears of
the hogs or tears their hams should
be kept away from the herd even IL
the hogs do get through the fence
into the cornfield or meadow.
Keep charcoal, salt and ashes be-
fore the pigs all the time, and 1t will
mean death to worms or bowel trou.
BILE.
Put teaspoonful of soda in the
sow's slop. and 1t will be beneficial
to the pigs afflicted with the scours.
Pigs look good in a field of alfalfa,
clover or rape, and best of all they do
well while running there.
The pig that is weaned will sQueal
around good deal. The only way
TO shut on his squeal is to fill his
stomach with food.
Kick the pigs away from the straw
stack. Don't let them sleep there. Tho
straw rick is a good place to contract
the cholera.

should be SO situated and constructed
as to give the proper protection from
this quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses the
highest-priced feeds should be avoid
ed in order to keep them in proper
condition at the lowest cost. 1t has
been found that Idle horses do very
well on a winter feed consisting of
all the hay, oat straw. cornstalks, or
sorghum they will consume, SO that
little grain is necessary.
From six to eight weeks before the
spring work is started the horses
should be put at light work and start
ed on a small grain ration in order
that they may be in proper condition
for the work required of them. The
grain ration may then be gradually
increased until the regular allowance
has been reached for the working sea,
son.
Growing colts require considerable
protein. They should be so fed as to
secure proper development and at a
minimum cost. Rough feed, such as
clean mixed hay, alfalfa, or clover,
may be fed along with a mixture OF
bran, oats and corn.

HORSES AND MULES
SHIPPED TO EUROPE
Animals Bought for Export for
Use in the Great War Are
Among Lighter Grades.

tBy PROF. e. A. TRowBRIDGE. Uni
versity of Missouri, College OF Agricul-
ture.)
About half a million horses and
mules have been sent to Europe be-
cause of the war. Although the num-
ber sounds large. it really includes
less than two per cent of the 2S,000,-
600 horses and mules on hand in the
United States January 1, 1915. and a
still lower percentage when we re-
member the 1915 colts must be added
to this number.
The 100000 horses bought for ex.
port for use in the war are among
the lighter animals ranging from 1000
to 1900 pounds in weight. Although
many of them are of mixed breeding
they are good useful horses. but dc
not sell for particularly high prices
and there is an opportunity for the
raiser to produce others of much bet
ter type to replace those that have
been sold. The increased cost of land
labor and other things used in horse
raising has gradually widened the gar
between the price of good horses and

until now only the superior animals
can be produced profitably.
About eighty per cent of the horses
and mules In the country are now
owned and used on farms. The auto
mobile, auto truck and farm tractor
| all help to replace some of these ami
mails, but any great changes in thi.
| direction will come about gradually
and production will be governed large
ly by demand. In view of these con
stantly changing conditions. however
the business of horse production of
fers unusual opportunities to the mar
who succeeds in meeting market de
mands successfully. Horses of the
draft or high-class saddle type OF
mules OF good size and quality ant
capable of doing lots of hard worl
are likely to prove most profitable.

Shaping Of a Career.

In 1884. Lord Melbourne, then still
home secretary in the reform cabinet,
and Disraeli. beaten candidate for
parliament, were talking together
after dinner, and the typical British
peer. the friend of Victoria. was at
tracted by the cleverness of the He
brew aspirast. Lord Melbourne" as
Disraeli told the story. which is con-
frmed by Melbourne's biographer,
asked how he could advance me in
life. and half proposed that should be
his private secretary. inquiring what
my object in life might be. TO be
prime minister" The condescending
Whig tried gently to argue the young
man out of what must have seemed to
him pure infatuation; but he did not
forget the remark. When, in 1S4S. as
an old man. he learned OF Disraelis s
success in parliament. he was heard
to exclaim: by God! the fellow will
do 1t yet."-Paul e. Moore. in the At

TO PARENTS.

Let me diverge for once from my
policy of addressing young people di-
rectly, that | may say a few words to
fathers and mothers.
The selection of vocation is usual
ly made either by the boy himself. by
his parents. or by both.
Theoretically, at least. the parent is
supposed to be the best adviser for his
son, because he has seen more OF him
and should be able to diagnose his
ability with some degree Of accuracy.
While the parent undoubtedly in
tends to advise the son for his good. 1t
is obvious that neither the father nor
the mother is infallible, and that, be-
ing human, they are likely to err and
influence their boy to his detriment.
We are all more or less swayed by
prejudice. II a father for example,
has made failure of his work, he is
likely to advise his son against 1t,
even though the latter may be adapted
to it. Conversely. If father has
achieved success in his vocation. he
quite naturally assumes that what he
has done well his boy can do equally
well.
The parent often forgets to study
his boy. and he is quite likely to as
sumo that his son is fit for this and
unfit for that.
do not consider that the advice of
any one person, whether he is par
ent or not, is sufficient to determine
the vocation for young man.
Composite counsel is far better than
individual opinion.
The parent should begin to study
his son when the boy has passed his
fourteenth or fifteenth year, perhaps
before; he should watch him care
fully, talk with him in friendly way,
and bring to his attention the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the sew
eral callings. especially those for
which he thinks his son is fitted.
The father should go further, and
consult with his friends. those who
come in contact with his boy, that,
from composite counsel, he may be
able to advise him more definitely and
more carefully.
To push or to force the boy into a
vocation, without careful thought and
considerable study, is as wicked as it
is to rob him of his birthright.
Thousands upon thousands of boys
have been started wrong because of
self-opinionated fathers. who, without
consideration. forced their sons into
vocations against their inclinations
and ability.
Many a devoted mother and over
ambitious father. wholly from self
pride and without any real regard for
their offspring, have attempted to
coerce him into some profession, when
the boy had absolutely no liking for it
or ability to practice it. They would
have their son lawyer when the boy
would make a good business man.
They would force him to become a
teacher when he lacked the power to
impart information. They would make
business man of student who
loved his books more than money.
Remember, parents, that your boy.
on the threshold of life, is soon to be
his own master. and that you have no
more right to force him under your
will than you have to steal his over.
