COLTS WORTH TAKING
r.. CARE OF THIS YEAR
Farmers Not Raising Enough
Foals to Replace Horses.

Foals born this spring will prove
to be good investments If they are
properly grown, says A. l.. Harvey
of the division of animal husbandry
at University farm, st. Paul, Mimi.
At the present rate of production.
he says, farmers are not raising half
enough colts TO replace losses OF
horses by death; consequently the
impending shortage of horses will
tend to increase the demand and
the prices. In view of this situa-
ton. it will pay the farmer-breeder
to give careful attention to the
growing colt.
First of all the foal should he
given feed in addition to the moth
er's milk. Most colts will start nib
bling a little grain out of the mares
feed-box when they are three or
four weeks old. Soon they will eat
out of a box of their own. In
crease the amount of grain fed as
the colt is able to handle 1t.
Exercise is another essential, but
In many cases this Is overdone.
Colts may get the proper amount
Of exercise in two ways-by being
allowed to run with the mare at
night in grass paddock. or by al
lowing two or more colts the run
of small lot during the day while
the mares are at work. If the lat
ter method is followed. II is a good
plan to allow the colts access to
q dark, cool. box stall where they
can get out of the heat and SUD
when they wish. 80"

tween the kitchen and dining room.
On the second floor are three large
bedrooms and bathroom.
How these rooms are arranged and
their sizes are shown on the floor
plans which accompanies the exterior
view of the house. It will be noted
that the living room extends practical
ly the width of the house with the ex-
ception of space for the entrance hall
and the stairs leading to the second
floor. Back of the living room Is the
dining room and to the right are the
breakfast nook and kitchen. The
steep pitch of the roof is broken by
dormer at the front which permits
space for double windows for each OF
the front bedrooms, while another
window on either side permits excel
lent ventilation.
How attractive this home can be
made when surrounded by paintings
of shrubs and flowers is shown in the
illustration.

Small Streams Furnish
Power for Farmers Use

Harvesting the small streams on
the farm to produce electrical pow
er for the farm is becoming more
common in North Carolina and fur
nishes the means Of Tightening
many farm jobs.
1.-THE slopes Of western North
Carolina furnish excellent condi-
lions for the establishing of small
power plants for home use," says
David S. Weaver. agricultural engi-
neer at State college. "North Caro-
lima has a large area where streams
flow rapidly and where the water
may be harnessed by water wheels.
Some farmers are using overshot
wheels, understood wheels, turbines
and impulse wheels, but for average
conditions the overshOt wheel Is the
most desirable. In some instances
the results have been unsatisfactory
because of variation in the stream
flow and poor estimate of obtain
ing heads"
Before going to the expense OF
establishing a plant of this kind,
Mr.. Weaver suggests that the site
be studied in careful detail and the
possible horse power available be
estimated. For large installations,
an engineer should be secured, but
for smaller streams, the preliminary
estimates may be made by the land
owner himself.

Farm Teaching in
School Is Favored
Authority Says Education
Is for Good of Masses.

From New York State College OF Agri-
culture.-WNU Service.
DIR. r, M. Steward of Cornell uni
Fersity deplored the trend toward
book teaching and defended the old
principle of learning to do by do
ing" in addressing the agricultural
section of the American Vocational
association.
81 cannot become enthusiastic
about such a school problem as
pruning an apple tree without hav-
ing an apple tree. To make the
problem difficult, vague, and indef-
mite adds no merit to teaching; the
boy may learn about pruning with
out having an apple tree to prune,
but only with extra effort. Real
situations have more influence and
beget a better type Of thinking" he
says.
He upholds the teaching Of voca-
tional agriculture, or special train
ing, although he agrees that educa-
ton should be designed for the good
Of the masses and not for indi-
Viduals to "outstrip" their neigh
bors. However, until society takes
a much different attitude on train
ing lawyers, physicians, dentists,
and other individual "outstrippers,"
agriculture Is not yet doing yio-
,lence to that principle. A high
school course In agriculture, prop
,erly organized, provides the best
means of a general education pos
sible for many rural communities.
Agricultural training may be called
special, but the group Of agricul-
tural vocations touch life at every
point and lend themselves better
to human and social influences than
any similarly related group Of vo-
cations. aa-. #.Es.
Vocational education has no quar-
rel with general education; each
has too much to offer the other and
the sixteen years experience of vo-
lcatiOnal training has contributed
much to the general education field,
he says.
'If we begin with the general, as
we probably do, it remains barren
and futile until vitalized by special
experiences. If we begin with the
special, as we probably do not, we
shall soon discover that the prin-
ciples from which fundamental val
ues of life arise, are the same prin-
ciples that other types Of special
education come to recognize. 1t is
then the business of vocational ed
ucation to check periodically Its
purposes, points of
views, methods, and results with
general education, of which IT is an
Integral part, to find the common
bases of mutual help"

Low Influence of Boar
Upon Size of Litters

1t should be understood that the
boar will have little or no direct In
fluence upon the size of the filters
which he may sire, except In SO
far as his general vitality may
have an influence On the vitality of
the male cells. 1t Is a fact that
frequent matings Of boar within
short time simply tend to lessen
the vitality of the male cells, con-
sequently double or multiple serv-
ices are likely to decrease the size
of filters rather than increase them.
yet pasture or barnyard breeding
is rather a common practice. Pas
ture breeding is also undesirable
from another angle, since i'm such
cases no records are usually kept
of the narrowing date of the sows,
which may result In unnecessary
loss of pigs at that time.

Farming by Mail
Correspondence Enrolling
Drawing Students From
Various Occupations.
Prepared by Ohio state University.

Prepared by Ohio State University.
Ks WNU Service. ...--
To study farming by mail, 2S,o9o
persons have enrolled in the cor
respondence courses conducted by
the college of agriculture since
their inception in 1915. Enrollments
in the "a courses offered to resi-
dents of the state include business
men, farmers, mechanics, police
men, bankers, inmates OF state
penal institutions, teachers, ana
scores of representatives from 9TH
er Occupations. All correspondence
courses are offered free with the
exception of the course In poultry
farming, for which fee is charged
to cover mailing and other costs.
: The most popular course is that
on vegetable gardening, next In
popularity is poultry farming,
which is followed by small fruits,
and soil fertility in the total num-
Der of enrollments. -. s..
The courses contain from three
to fourteen lessons. Each lesson
consists of number of mimeo-
graphed sheets, and set of exam
ination questions. The courses
have been prepared and revised by
members of the faculty of the col
lege of agriculture. Each course
deals with one particular subject In
as brief manner as is consistent
with clearness and has, in most
cases, special application to Ohio
conditions. Many Of the courses
are illustrated.
At present Ii courses are offered
by the college. They are In the
following subjects: pork produc-
ton, Bookkeeping, corn culture, farm
accounts, farm lighting systems,
farm water supply and sanitation,
orchard fruits, potato growing,
poultry farming, small fruits, soil
fertility, vegetable gardening, and

CAPON PRODUCTION -.
INCREASES PROFITS
An Added Amount of Flesh
Makes Market Demand.

By L. F. Brumfield. Farm Agent. Yadkin
County. North Carolina--WNU Service.
The capon retains the tender,
juicy and sweet quality of flesh that
was possessed in it's younger life
and finds q ready market when
there is q scarcity of other market
fowls.
The production of capons will add
profits to any poultryman's annual
income. The increased amount of
flesh on the body, especially the
breast, and the improved quality Of
meat gives to the capon it's high
value and market demand. The
percentage Of edible meat on the
capon will average 81 per cent as
compared with about SO per cent for
the cockerels and SO per cent for
the fattened fowl. Properly fed,
the capon uses a good part of the
ration to make body growth and a
large, strong frame is needed to sup
port the increased amount Of flesh
which the bird puts on. The Ca
pom also has the ranging ability Of
the turkey. ~" .--~s
, The best method in producing
capons is to select cockerels weigh
ing about IL pounds at eight weeks
of age. These are caponized in the
late spring and early summer when
broiler prices are low. The birds
are then fed so as to develop body
growth and are fattened to be sold
when about ten months Of age.
When choosing cockerels for capon-
izing, get only those which show
only good vigor and vitality and
have tendency to produce large
bones. An individual of this type
will recover from the operation very
quickly and with the least hating
in growth.
The grain produced on the farm
and free range supplemented with
some animal protein and mineral
mixture may be used as feed. Rye,
oats, rape, soybeans, peas, lespede-
"a, alfalfa and clover will furnish
range pickings through the entire
period Of growth.

Oak Flooring Proven
Best by Hard Test

A young man consulted friend OF
his who was in the lumber business
about building a home. They went
over the plans carefully, and when
they had finished the lumberman
turned to the young man and said:
aOf course, you will want oak floor
ing"
The young man had not thought
great deal of the foors-he was too
occupied with other details. The "of
course, you will want oak flooring"
seemed so much like foregone con-
clusion the young man wondered why
he would "of course" want it.
As an experiment he talked with an
other man who was well known for his
business ability and his sound judg-
ment. During the conversation the
older man remarked:
"You have forgotten to specify oak
flooring"
There 1t was again, that taken-for-
granted remark.
When the young man built his home
his floors were oak, and years later as
he looked at their unchanged beauty
he knew why If he built again he
would want oak flooring, 'of course"
That was not an unusual happen
ing. 1t has been years since the SUI
premacy of oak flooring has been dis
puted. Oak flooring has grown to be
a necessity to the majority of home
builders. The permanent beauty and
durability of oak flooring, the perfect
floor, have made it highly desirable
and almost Indispensable in the plan
of home.
The reason it has enjoyed popular
ity, besides those mentioned above, is
that it is so easy to keep oak floors
in state of high finish. In the floors
lie a great part of the charm of the
interior of home. b.. =: H.. -
Upon entering room one of the
first things that meets the eye and
leaves either favorable or unfayor-
able impression is the floor. If 1t is
an oak floor that has been given the
little, though necessary attention,
there will be recognition of its beauty
that cannot be described, but is felt
by ALA feeling of quality and rich
ness that speaks of refinement and
taste. s.=~:
Floors are not only part of the
house, but they are part of the fur
nishings as well. Yet they are sub
iected to daily service far more Sc
rere than any piece of furniture. To
withstand this service and still look
well they must be considered as to
material, methods of laying and fin
fishing, and attention given their up
keep. A.. ez=ss =. .za

Crooked Breastbones

The cause Of crooked breastbone
Is said to be due to lack of lime, and
phosphorus in the rations, which
are said to make bone or give it
strength. Others say that making
birds go on the roost too young will
cause the deformity. The probable
ity is that both conditions contrib
ute to the defect; so feed given
young birds should contain suffi-
cheney Of these elements which
should be contained in most COM
mercial chick ratiOns.
