Farmer, a rather large snap Is chosen

BREAKING THE COLT.
Begin Early and Be Very Patient in
the Work.
When a colt is coming two years
old I put a bitting harness on it and
turn it out in a lot, away from other
horses and colts, says a writer in
Farmers' Review. I then train him to
be guided by the use of lines run
through rings low down on a wide
strap surcingle, which I use for this
purpose. I then drive the colt around
the lot for a short time. When I de
sire the colt to turn I pull one line
firmly, at the time tapping the colt
gently on the opposite side with a
light whip. I then train him to back
and also to stop by the use of the
word whoa.
I then hitch the colt fn with an old
steady horse that is not afraid of any
thing. I wish to say that a colt never
should be broken with a blind bridle.
Colts that are being broken should be
permitted to see everything that is
going on around them. When some
thing occurs and the colt sees that the
mate it is being driven with is in no
way concerned, it quickly gets over
its fright.
There is a greet difference in breeds
as to the readiness with which the
become trained to daily work.
1 nnd the Percheron by all odds the
easiest horse to train. A Hambleton
ian, I think, requires more time and
patience to train, than any other
breed with which 1 have had experi
ence. The liambletonian is naturally
'nervous and skittish. I have broken
and trained a great many of them, but
have never found one that I did not
have to watch very closely. They are
always on the lookout for something
strange.
On the part of the trainer, the most
essential elements are patience, firm
ness and good judgment.
| Choking of Animals.
Hardly a farmer has not had more
or less experience with animals be
ing choked. This can be remedied to
a very great extent, or can be re
lieved. While animals will get choked
once in a while it can be helped. The
simplest thing to do which may save
the life of a valuable animal and will
not hurt it, is to insert a piece of com
mon rubber hose about six feet long
down the cow's neck; perhaps it
would be well to hold the animal's
mouth open with a cord until you
strike the apple, or whatever it is that
chokes her. Often the apple ib so
swelled, or so firmly wedged, as to be
difficult to stir. Run a buggy whip
down this rubber pipe. The pipe will
fit against that apple, so there will be
no danger of making any hole in the
animal's gullet. Press the end of the
whip carefully down until it reaches
the stomach. The gas will escape
quickly through the pipe and the ani
mal will be relieved.—Dr. E. E. Tower.
Good Hogs Quick Money.
Good hogs are quickly turned into
money. There is little reason for dis
puting the value of a hog raised for
pork. The boards of trade quote pork,
and that brings the pig into the same
catagory as wheat, which is about the
same as money, if it is at a point
of railroad transportation. The hog is
the more a moneymaker because he
Jb easily reared and within a year
from birth is ready for the market.
He can make use of a great variety of
food and make more meat out of that
food than any other animal.
The Brood Sows.
If you expect a fine, uniform lot of
pigs next spring the brood sows
should be of somewhat the same type.
The boar alone is not capable of cur
ing all the deficiencies of ail the sows.
The profitable sow is not the big.
coarse, rangy sow nor tho fine, com
pact sow, but rather the good-sized,
even, smooth sow, with plenty of good
teatt^-
VARIETY IN HOG FEED.
The Animals Do Better When Given
Many Kinds.
There are some very important con
siderations in feeding swine which
should not be lost sight of. The hog
by nature is an omnivorous animal
and readily eats a great variety of
food. Though domesticated for many
years he has not lost his natural in
stincts and loves to roam the fields
and woods in search of various roots
and plants and is not averse to eating
meat of various kinds whenever oppor
tunity affords. This love of a great
variety of food is so deeply rooted in
the hog as to have made a permanent
impression upon the character of his
teeth which are adapted not. only to
the grinding of grain but also to the
tearing asunder of flesh. This of it
self should be sufficient to convince
the feeder of the advisability of vari
ety in the ration of the hog, but the gen
eral cultivation of corn in the corn
belt and its cheapness in years gone
by have led many farmers to lose
sight of this essential matter. More
over a variety of food while es
sential to the satisfaction of the ani
mal consuming it stimulates the diges
tive organs to greater activity, which
is a most desirable end to attain, and
this of itself would amply reward the
feeder for taking greater pains and
effort to provide the hog with a great
er variety of food suited to his nutri
tion.
The mere fact that the hog ha 3 a
ravenous appetite and will eat practi
cally anything that is placed before it
should not render it insensible to the
value of a variety of food. The in
stincts of the human being are eo
deeply grounded in this respect that
they should teach us to have more
regard for the dumb animals placed
under our control and which cannot
help themselves by reason of their do
mestication to secure many of the
things which the system naturally I
craves.
j We generally regard the needs of
j the animal satisfied when we have
j given a theoretical proportion of pro
. tein, carbohydrates and fat, trusting
to luck that sufficient mineral matter
! will be supplied in the foods fed to
! meet the requirements of the animal
| body and it is in this respect that a
| greater injustice is done the fatten
i ing hog as a rule than in any other
particular.—Experiment Station Bui

PLAN OF SMALL STABLE.
Suggested Arrangement for Limited
Space and Uneven Ground.
A Maryland farmer wishes to plan
a stable 28x36 feet to have in it two
box stalls, three single stalls and
I space for carriages. Owing to the
nature of the ground he can enter iu
only one place.
The Breeder's Gazette suggests the
following as a solution: He can have
three stalls five feet wide and ten

feet long, two boxes each 10 feet 6
inches by 12 feet (which will be
found to be large enough for carriage
horses) and a space for carriages
26x20 feet. This leaves space for a
large porch or open ehed, which will
prove useful for many purposes, wash
ing vehicles, hitching under to keep
out of the sun or sheltering an extra
vehicle in emergency.
THE LIVE STOCK.
A man can't drive a balky horse and
be a Christian.
The stable for all animals should
be well lighted.
Any one is a monster of cruelty who
will dock a horse. The horses' tails
are given them to protect themselves
from flies.
It costs no more to raise a colt than
it does a calf, and a three or four
year-old grade draft horse is worth
four times as much as a grade dairy
cow of the same age, and the labor in
volved in caring for the colt is con
siderably less.
Don't forget to buy the boar as ear
ly as possible and by all means plan to
get one of pure blood. A few dollars
difference in price between a good
registered boar and a scrub boar will
be more than made up on one litter of
pigs.
If you are crowded for pen room
during the winter a cheap shed banked
and covered with straw will be found
quite satisfactory as a sleeping place
for the brood sows. However, they
should not be allowed to remain in
this shelter throughout the day.
A creamery manager who does a lot j
of driving has driven his horse for six
months without the use of a bit. A
special bridle is just as effective to
hold and guide the horse and saves it
the discomfort of a bit in its mouth.
This same chap used a buggy which
has tires made with beveled surfaces
which do not throw mud or dust. He
says they are great success.
Give Sheep Fresh Air.
Some people make the mistaice of
keeping their sheep too closely housed
in winter. A good dry shed protected
from draughts is desirable, but the
fresh air supply should not be entire
ly cut off.

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Irishman's Mind Af
ter the Accident.
Railroad claim-agents have little
faith In their fellow creatures. One
said recently: "Every time I settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets a sheep
killed, I think of this story, illustra
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one -night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
'Where's the train?' 'Why, there's no
train around,' he was told. 'Then
Where's the railroad?' 'The nearest
railroad is three miles away,' he
learned. 'Well, well,' he commented.
'I knew it hit us pretty hard, but I
didn't suppose it knocked us three
miles from the track.'"

A Busy Locality.
Jack is the eight-year-old son of a
Philadelphia suburban merchant, and
not long ago made his first visit to
New York with his father. The
strenuosity of the big town got on
the boy's nerves, and by bedtime lie
was about run down. He tumbled
into bed quite regardless of certain
duties, but his father was more ob
servant.
"Don't forget to say your prayers,
my boy," he said.
"O, what's the use, pop?" respond
ed the boy. "God's too busy over hero i
to bother with a little thing like that." i
The father was shocked, but under I
the circumstances he thought it best |
not to urge his son.—Lippincott's
Magazine.
Where She Should Live.
"What under the sun," asked a !
father of his daughter who wanted ner j
to make a match with a young man
whose only qualification was the pos
session of a goodly fortune —"what j
earthly objection can you possibly find
to Mr. Spriggins?"
"He has habits,' replied the daugh- j
ter, "which I detest! When I marry
I want a husband who does not smoke, j
chew, drink, swear, belong to clubs, j
play cards, stay out late or go motor- j
ing by himself."
The father looked at his daughter
for a moment or two in silence and
then said:
"My child, you are but a stranger
here; heaven is your home."
The Matter With It.
"What is the matter with my
poem?" asked the amateur contribut
or; "isn't the meter all right?"
"Oh, yes," replied the editor, "the
meter is excellent."
"I think if you look again you will
find that the rhymes are faultless."
"The rhymes are very good, quite
Ingenious, I might say."
"Then why do you decline it ?"
"You have forgotten to say any
thing."
RAILROAD MAN
Didn't Like Being Starved.
A man running on a railroad has to
be in good condition all the time or he
is liable to do harm to himself and
others.
A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct a train. Even
a railroad man's appetite and diges
tion are matters of importance, as the
clear brain and steady hand result
from the healthy appetite followed by
the proper digestion of food.
"For the past five years," writes a
railroader, "I have been constantly
troubled with indigestion. Every doc
tor 1 consulted seemed to want to
starve me to death. First I was diet
ed on warm water and toast until I
was almost starved; then, when they
would let me eat, the indigestion
would be right hack again.
"Only temporary relief came from
remedies, and 1 tried about all of them
I saw advertised. About three months
ago a friend advised me to try Crape-
Nuts food. The very first (lay 1 no
ticed that my appetite was satisfied,
which had not been the case before,
that I can remember.
"In a week, I believe, 1 had more
energy than over before in my life. I
have gained seven pounds and have
not had a touch of indigestion since
I have been eating Grape-Nuts. When
my wife saw how much good this food
was doing me she thought she would
try it awhile. We believe the dis
coverer of Grape-Nuts found the 'Per
fect Food.'"

AND SHE BELIEVED HIM.
After This Who Can Doubt the Power
of Love?
George had been away on business
for a whole long week, and during
that time he had sent Clara ten let
ters, six letter-cards and 42 picture
postcards.
Why, then, was there a touch of
coldness in her greeting when he flew
1 to her arms on his return?
"Dearest," he whispered, "what Is
the matter
"Oh, George," she s£.id, "you didn't
ccr.d a kiss in your ninth letter."
"My precious," he replied, "that
night I had steak and onions for din
ner, and you wouldn't have liked a
kiss after onions, would you?"
And, such is the unfathomable pow
er of love, she was satisfied, and nes

TWO CURES OF ECZEMA
Baby Had Severe Attack—Grandfather
Suffered Torments with It—
Owe Recovery to Cuticura.
"In ISS4 my grandson, a babe, had
an attack of eczema, and after trying
the doctors to the extent of heavy bills
and an increase of the disease and suf
fering, I recommended Cuticura and
in a few weeks the child was well. He
is to-day a strong man and absolutely
free from the disease. A few years
ago I contracted eczema, and became
an intense sufferer. A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes,
nearly from the knees to the toes be
ing covered with virulent sores. I tried
many doctors to no purpose. Then I
procured the Cuticura Remedies and
found immediate improvement and
final cure. M. W.Laßue, 845 Seventh St.,

Victim of Hard Luck.
"Hear about the hard luck of Dan
Moulton, the Stanford trainer?" in
quired one alumnus of another, com
ing back from the big game.
"Xo; what happened?"
"Well, Dan. you know, used to be
a professional foot racer. Went all
over the world when in his athletic
prime, sprinting for money against all
comers. They say he won 263 races;
never was beaten but twice in all his
career. One of the fellows that beat
him Dad met later in another race
and outran him. Dad was after the
other fellow for a long while to get a
return race. But the fellow beat Dad
again."
"How was that?"
"Died before Dad got another crack
at him." —San Francisco Chronicle.
