KEEP COLTS GROWING
important Consideration in Pro-
ducing Horses ProfitabIy.
Good Horseman Endeavors to Reduce
Worrying and Frettng of Young
Animal to Minimum-Grain
Must Be Supplied.

By H. H. MCARTY, Indiana Expert
ment Station)
To keep the cold growing without
interruption during weaving time and
afterward is a most important consid-
Grafton in producing horses profitably.
A good horseman aims to replace the
milk that the colt has been accustomed
to secure from its mother. He tries
also to reduce the worrying and fret
ting Of the colt to a minimum. TO
wean a colt appears to be a simple
matter. 1t is simple as many do it,
yet the very low degree of success
that is shown on many farms by thei1
unthrifty colts is evidence that there
Is something wrong or that there is
something lacking. Often in a few
weeks during weaving time the young
ster changes from the growing sleek.
milk-fat colt to a stiff-haired and un
thrifty, stunted individual. The colt
ii properly cared for, need lose but
little of his flesh, bloom and spirit
Feed Some Grain.
Grain must be used as the milk Is
taken away. 1t is necessary that the
colt have been taught to eat grain be
fore weaving is attempted. Oats have
always been preferred by horsemen
for young colts. They are undoubted'
ly superior to any other single grain.
The colt likes a mixture or variety
of grains and will thrive best on such
a ration. He relishes corn, and it may
well be fed as part of the grain ra'
ton. 1t may be said that corn con.
tains rather high percentage of fat
True, it does, and so does milk, which
is as nearly ideal food as nature can
make. Corn should not be fed alone,
nor in too great quantities. Bran is
splendid feed and contains material
for bone and muscle. A mixture of
oats 60 per cent, corn 80 per cent,
and bran 10 per cent makes a ration
that will enable any colt to grow rap
idly. 4 handful of oilmeal may be
profitably added. Then he will be
more likely to eat enough to almost
make up for the lack of milk.
Provide Hay.
Hay should be provided in plenty.
Doubtless alfalfa or clover Is the most
desirable for young growing colts.
Both grain and hay should be of the
very best quality. If it is at all pos
sible to furnish succulent grass for
the colt it should be done. This is a
big factor in preventing any check in
the growth of the youngster.

VARIETIES OF HORSE-RADISH
MaIiner kren or Bohemian Are Con-
sidered Superior-Time For Plant
ing Is in Spring.

The best variety of horse-radish is
the Maliner Kren or Bohemian. The
root cuttings can be had from any OF
the leading seedsmen. The cuttings
are made cut straight across at top
and sloping at the lower end, so that
it is easy to distinguish between them
in planting.
The time for planting is in the
earliest spring, and the early cab
bage plantation is one Of the best
places. Punch holes in the rows mid
way between the cabbage plants with
a crowbar and put the root cutting
In perfectly straight Then, after the
eabbages are cut, the horse-radishes
are cultivated through the season.
An application between the rows Of

will promote the rapid growth of the
roots.
The crop is dug in late fall and the
roots trimmed, the side roots cut prop
erly and buried in bundles for the win.
ter, and the main roots put on the mar
ket. The roots are at their best at
one seasons growth, and will decrease
in value if left longer. The main roots
are sold by the ton usually.

POISON GOPHERS AND MQLEs
Best Time for Work Is in Spring and
Early summes--uso Strychnine
With Utraost Care.

Spring and early summer is the best
time to get rid of gophers and moles
For early spring poisoned corn is good
bait. Place some of it out early in
April, some more about May and a
third lot little later. Poisoned corn
may be prepared by soaking for Il
hours in q solution made by dissolving
strychnine in water at the rate OF
about one-tenth ounce to the quart.
Where the pests are unusually bad
at planting time, seed corn can be
treated in this way without injuring
its terminating qualities. Of course
the planter will have to be regulated
to drop this soaked corn.
strychnine is deadly poison, II
should he handled with extreme care
and both the solution and the soaked
corn kept out of the way of children
and animals.

either breeding f1ocks or in fattening
sheep for market, must be supplement-
ed with some concentrate rich In pro-
teln such as linseed oil or cottonseed
meal.
Ordinarily either Of these concen-
trates need not compose to exceed III
per cent of the total grain ration. The
millet is not so much in favor with
sheep feeders, because of the fact
that unless it is cut at exactly the
right time it is liable to produce
scours. A good quality of millet, how
ever, cut early, will form a fit rough
age for sheep if properly supplement-
ed with either some additional rough
age rich in protein, like alfalfa or.
clover, or grain rations with protein
supplement.

RIGHT ROUGHAGE FOR SHEEP
Alfalfa or Glover Hay Contains Large
Amounts of Protein Which Balance
Carbonaceous Grains.

Sheep are ruminant animals and In
the main will use the same kind of

Either alfalfa or clover hay makes
the very best roughage for sheep, since
they are both palatable to them and
contain a relatively large amount of
protein which balances the more car

Sugar cane or sorghum and millet are

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is
well kept to Judge of a woman's
|neatness, or good taste. II you are
one of the few who try to make
the most of your hair, remember
that 1t is not advisable to wash
the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes, but always use
some good preparation made ex-
pressly for shampooing. You can
enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup Of
hot water. This makes a full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough SO 1t
is easy to apply It to all the hair
instead of Just the top of the
head. Dandruff, excess oil, and
dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be SO
fluffy that 1t will look much
heavier than II Is. It's lustre and
softness will also delight you.

The Obscure Mr.. Hoover

Whenever the United States senate INDUCES
in the luxury of an executive session from which
the mere public and the reporters are kept out,
some misrepresentation can be relied upon to dis
play himself as a pluperfect ass
Our American house Of lords had gabfest the
other day in which it relieved itself of some Of the
spleen it has been cherishng against the presi-
dent, the press and the public. One master mind
spoke of Herbert G. Hoover as "a man who had
emerged from obscurity only short time ago
and whom the administration now wants to make
a food dictator"
Long before the war, it just so happens that
Hoover had made himself one of the master min
ing engineers of the world, with an income far
beyond that of most of the jackleg lawyers who
are now accidentally sitting in our senate. Wher-
ever the engineers who were doing the worlds
big work foregathered, Hoover was known and
admired and welcomed.
But it was the war which gave him his splen-
did opportunity. Dropping his own life's work
and the big emouments it brought him, he de-
voted himself without reserve and without pay
to the Christ-like service of feeding and clothing
100000 Belgians and Frenchmen.
In all the history of civilization there has been
no job like it and in all history no such job was
ever carried on with greater smoothness, swift
ness economy, efficiency and honesty. No history
of the war ever be written without devOting
pages of glowing praise to Herbert G. Hoover.
His name will be known and hOnored when the
nonentities in our present senate have become
nothing but names of those who once for brief
space held office.
