RENTING FARM FOR DAIRYlNG
Half-and-HaIf System Proves Most
Successful In Representative Sec.
ton Near Chicago.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The so-called half-and-half system ia
the most common in use and the most
satisfactory in renting dairy farms in
representative dairy regions near Chi
cago studied by farm management
specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. Generally
speaking, under this system the land
lord supplies the land, the tenant the
labor, and each shares the expenses
and income equally. The study was
made on 143 farms in Green county,
Wisconsin, and Kane county (the FL
gin district) Illinois, where dairying
is comparatively old, well-developed
and profitable industry. In the report
Of the study, published as Bulletin 6O3,
of the department, 1t is brought out
that while this system is particular
ly applicable to the regions studied,
sections generally.
Under the half-and-half system the
landlord furnishes the land, buildings,
the greater part of the seed and fertil-
izer, and half the productive stock,
while the tenant furnishes horses. ma
chinery, half Of the productive stock,
part Of the seed, and sometimes part
of the fertilizer. All stock is fed usu-
ally from the grain and hay owned in
common. When a feed of any kind is
bought, its cost Is shared equally be-
tween the landlord and tenant. In
general, each party pays the taxes on
all property owned by him. including
the farm road tax, though in many
cases In the North Central states all
the farm road tax is worked out by
the tenant.

lied numbers, by the tenant, and he
gets the proceeds therefrom, but with
this exception, each party generally
receives half of the proceeds of farm
sales of all products of whatever ma
ture.
Less frequently dairy farms are
share-rented on the third system, the
landlord supplying everything but the
man-power, which is furnished by the
tenant. and getting two-thirds of the
sales of all products while the tenant
receives one-third. When feed is pur-
chased the tenant pays one-third of
the cost.
The length of lease In the regions
studied ranges from one to five years.
In the Wisconsin district rs per cent
of the leases were for one year only.

three years, while In the Illinois dis

MANAGEMENT OF COLT
Practical Suggestions for Feeding and
Care During Early Life-How
to Promote Growth.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Colts should be housed In dry, sani-
tary quarters, which give fairly warm
protection from winds. Where sew
eral Of the animals are kept togeth-
er 1t is important to make provision
for the weaker ones and see that they
are not driven away from their feed
by the stronger animals.
The quarters should be kept clean
and well bedded and occasionally
should be disinfected. Lice are to be
suspected when the animals get to
rubbing and lose patches Of hair.
Thorough washing with the proper
solutions of coal-tar disinfectants will
kill lice. It costs money to feed lice.
consequently efforts should be made
to keep them down. The foals should
be out in the open every day that is
not stormy; 1t Is harmful, however,
for them to remain out in cold rain.
The foal should be taught to lead and
to stand tied during the first winter.
Feeds that will promote growth

hay is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dus. is
one Of the best roughages for growing,
but because of its relatively high pro-
tein content it generally is economical
to supplement 1t with other roughage
such as timothy, mixed hay, or corn
fodder. Besides lending variety to
the ration such a method of feeding
alfalfa would offset any likelihood Of
kidney or bowel Irregularities. Sheaf
oats can be used t. advantage to sup
plement other roughage. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn,
and peas, preferably fed ground. are
suitable grains. Bran. Oil meal, or
gluten feed will add protein and lend
variety. Cottonseed meal should not
be fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-

lions for the first winter are: Two
parts corn, five parts oats, three parts
bran, and one part oil meal; or four
parts oats, one part corn, and one
part bran.
Silage should not &c fed to foals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have a cooling eff
feet on the digestive system. The
quantity of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although
occasionally the appetite may be too
ravenous to be good indication. The
general condition of the colt and
the droppings should be observed
daily. Usually not over one pound
of grain per 100 pounds of live weight
should be fed until the animal is two
years old. A liberal supply of salt
and good water and plenty of fresh
air and exercise are essential for the
proper development of young horses.
Idleness succeeding exercise will cause
constipation. 1t Is often said that a
horse is made during his first winter.
Certainly this Is a critical time in the
animals life, and at no other age will
proper feed and attention do so much
to make of him good horse. If
stunted during the first winter he
oever will gain proper size and shape.
Foals should be changed from dry
feed to pasture gradually ana should
not be turned on pa-ture until the
grass is old enough not to become
washy. Grass is an indispensable fac
tor In the economical and proper phys
illogical development Of young horses.
During the second winter the feed
and management should be nearly the
same as for the first winter, except
that the quantity Of feed should be
increased somewhat, the colt tied up
In his stall, and handled frequently.
Education by gentle and careful but
firm handling ut this age will save
later much strenuous labor.
The succeeding years are largely
repetition of those already discussed
80 far as feed and management are
concerned. although the quantity Of
feed must be gradually increased as
the animal grows. The prime general
essentials for the proper develop
ment Of horses from the yearhng stage
until they are put to work are: Fresh
air. pure water, plenty Of exercise
nutritious, palatable feed In sufficient
quantity. and shelter from storms.
