merce in the articles produced on the
farm and consequently little need for
transportation As large cities devel-
Oped the demand for roads on which
products might be easily transported
grew.

KEEP YOUNG HORSE GROWING
Good Practice, When Not Carried TO
Extremes, TO Allow Colts TO Rough

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Colts that are kept growing make
the best horses. Some farmers allow
their young horses TO trough it"
through the winter and, although this
is a good practice when not carried to
extremes, If the feeder is not careful
it may give the colt a setback which
permanently retards its development
Feeds that will promote growth
should be supplied Good, clean clover
hay is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust Is one
Of the best rOughages for growing, but
because OF its relatively high protein
content it generally is economical to
supplement it 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 to good advantage to supple
ment other rOughage. The animals
should not be allowed TO gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they viii 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 glu-
ten feed will add protein and lend vari-

fed to foals. Appropriate grain IA

parts corn, five parts oats, three parts

bran
Silage should not be fed TO foals TO
any considerable extent Sliced roots,

CLEAN SEED BEFORE SOWING.

Cleaning and grading the small
grains for spring sowing should be
done before the spring rush In pre-
pairing the land and sowing the seed
Wheat, oats, barley, and fax can be
improved for seeding by running the
seed through the tanning mill at least
once. The cleaned grain viii run
through the drill or other seeding ma
chinery more evenly and thus insure
a more uniform stand than can be OBJ
tanned from unclaimed grain
Cleaning grain removes most Of the
weak and diseased kernels, many Of
which may not grow at all, or If they
do grow are likely to produce small,
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels terminate more evenly, pro-
duce stronger plants, and yield more
than ungraded grain containing small,
shrUnken kernels.
Thorough cleaning also removes a
large part OF the weed seeds the grain
contains The preparation Of the land
for seeding destroys many seeds that
are in the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds In check, but the value
OF this work is largely lost If foul seed
