ADVANTAGES OF FALL COLTS
Younoster Can Be Weaned in Spring
When Grass is Beginning to
Come-Pasture Helps.

a very large proportion of all colts
are foaled in the spring. However.
some who have raised Il fall colt or
two each year have found the advnn-
tages are not all in favor of the prac-
tice of exclusive spring colt raising.
A colt fOaled in September or e>'ly
HE pasture dries up and winter APP
prOaches. Then the mare and colt
should receive plentiful and nour-
ishing ration through the winter. The
colt can be weaned in the spring when
the grass Is beginning to come, and
the pasture will help wonderfully to
keep it in condition and to keep it
going.

CFrom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Sound. clean. healthy seed is the
first requisite for the largely increased
wheat crOU which the United States
department of agriculture hopes 70 see
harvested next year. Whatever the
source of supply. farmers will find il
to their advantage, says the depart
ment, to see that only good seed is
planted. What has been said is
equally true of seed for the rye crop
which the department hopes to see
much larger than usual next year.
If farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far rs
variety and general condition are con-
cerned. he should lose no time in get
ting 1t into shape for storage until
planting time. The tanning mill is the
farmers best friend i'm this task. The
farmer by all means should have such
a mill. and If he has not and is unable
to obtain one. should borrow or rent
his neighbours mill, or several farmers
can join in buying one. A tanning mill
removes weed seeds. smut and shriv-
eled grain and leaves only plump kerr
nels, practically every one of which
may be depended upon to produce a
thrifty plant. After it is cleaned. how
ever, the seed should he treated in or
der that the smut may be prevented.
Scab is more likely to be prevented by
seed treatment. but the use of the fan
ming mill will assist materially in i'm
proving the crop grown from seed
known to have contained scabby kerr
nels.

have studied the problem state that as

be laid upon this activity at the pres

by proclamntions, by speeches and pie
lures. the necessity for responding to
call TO arms.
The full quota for the expanded reg
ular army has not been reached, and
many more recruits can he taken.
Therefore II is urged that all local
councils of defense concentrate efforts
