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

(From the United States Department of
Agricultural
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
+ 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 d~isinfectants will
kill lice. 1t 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 a cold rain.
The foal should be taught to lead and
to stand tied during the first winter.
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 pro-
tein content it generally is economical
to supplement it with other roughage
such al 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 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 anne 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. C%ottonseed 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 be fed to foals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have q cooling eff
feet on the digestive system. The
quantity of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although
ravenou to be a good Indication. The
general condition Of the colt and
the droppings should be observed
daily. Usually not over n 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 a good horse. If
stunted during the first winter he
never will gain proper size and shape.
Foals should be changed from dry
feed to pasture gradually ana should
not be turned on pasture until the
grass is old enough not to become
washy. Grass is an Indispensable fac
tor in the economical and proper phys
biological 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 at this age will save
later much strenuous labor.
The succeeding years are largely a
repetition of those already discussed
so 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 yearling stage
until they are put to work re-: Fresh
air, pure water, plenty of exercise
nutritious. palatable feed in sufficient
quantity. and shelter from storms.

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

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The so-called half-and-half system is
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 a comparatively old, ~well-developed
and profitable industry. In the report
of the study, published as Bulletin 603,
of the department, 1t is brought out
that while this system is particular
ly applicable to the regions studied,
1t Is believed to be suitable in dairy
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.
Under this system the poultry fire.
quently is owned exclusively, in lin
tied 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-thlrd. 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 70 per cent
of the leases were for n year only,
none being for a longer period than
three years, while in the Illinois dis
tricty63 per cent Of the leases were for
one year. In the Wisconsin group 35
per cent and in the Illinois group %
per cen of the leases were verbal.

Civilians Must Not Use
What Government Needs

Frank B. Anderson, the San Fran
cisco banker, says:
when Congress appropriated $780,
000000,0 for the first year of the
war it, consciously or unconsciously
appropriated the labor and services
of all of the people of the United
States-not $20,0O0,0O0,00O, but raw
material and the labor to turn that
raw material into the finished pro-
duct needed in the prosecution of
the war.
The production of the country be-
fore it entered into the war was ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000, the con-
sumption approximately $35,0OO,OOO,-
600, the excess approximately $5,00O,-
100000 Consequently he ability to
make good the appropriations of
Congress requires increased produc-
ton or decreased consumption, or
both, that would raise the surplus
from the normal $5,O0O,OO0,0O0 to
$4,000, 100000.

Savings Stamps.

4 ooNiiSp oIo"pp'
The Government asks us to 10
this because the amount of labor and
materials in the country is limited;
there is not enough of either to per.
nit us to use it in the some free way
as we did in peach times and at the
same time to leave enough in the
markets for the use of the Govern
ment. 1t is purely question of
supply and demand. | FIVE use the
supply the Government does not
have it for war needs. And the
smaller the amount the Government
has for use the longer will the war
last. That is the primary reason for
the savings campaign.
But Their is another side to the
question. The Government ask us to
pledge ourselves to save to help win
the war. 1t does not ask us to give
it anything except our cooperatiin.
In return for our help we receive a
Government security which pays us
a good rate of interest.
If we do as the Government asks,
and as we should. this, then. will be
the result: (D We shall buy only
those things necessary to maintain
us in the best of health and spirits;
(2) by refraining from buying unnec-
essary things we shall leave in the
markets for Government use a great.

which to win quicker victory: (3)
by not frittering our money away
on things that do not make for effici.
