It the fowl has beeu properly cared for during tile summer Menthe, betitg fee a little grain in additien to the roughage and dam's milk, weaning tints will be merely a matter a sop. aration. The time of weaning will vary with vonditious, but the best, rule i$ to al- low it five to seven menthe as the thne will. be merely a Matter of sep- aration. The time of weaning will vary with eonditions, but the best rale is to al- low it five to seven mouths as the work of the mare varies from heavy to light, but if possible don't wean the foal before four months. The important stage of the young- ster's life is now at hand. Separation from the dam must be complete to be eatisfactory, and the colt kept in a small lot fenced either with boards or .poles. 'While all colts may not run into the wire, the one that tangles itself in the wire is invariably the most valuable. The weaning that is most suceess- fully accomplished is the one through whieli the colt suffers the least set- t/it-0e in growth, if at weaning time the colt can at its full- .allowance ot grain, 2 to 3 pounds of oats or 1 1-e pomade of oats and 2 pounds ot ground barley mixed together with plenty of clean alfalfa or timothy hay, It will continue growing and cease to fret for its dam. Weaning time is the best time to gentle the youngsters, Catch them, handle carefully, halter them and teach them to lead. Mw inspect their feet and gentle them in regard to handling the feet. If the colts are carefully handled a few times each day for several days, it will greatly simplify the breaking later on,— R. Bentley, Colorado .Agricultural Col- lege, Fort Collins, Colo. CARING FOR THE COLT IN WIN- TER. As the pastures dry up and cold weather approaches, the question of how to care for the groWing colt -through the winter confronts the far- mer. Many colts will be taken from pasture with a. goodly store of fat, only to be turned out to a straw 1110 for feed and shelter. and. will '‘01118 out next setring lighter in weight than they are this fall. On the other 1 and, not a few colts may be ruined by heavy. feeding in stalls where they cannot take exercise. The ideal shelter.for colts is a tieht- ly bullt shed, open to the south, wheie the animals may go in and out at their awn pleasure, and "where they may have the run of a -good big Baia for exercise. Idle farm horses can best be sheltered in the same way. A dry bed and protection from cold melds, snow and rain is all that is needed. Two parts of oats (preferably crushed) dnd one part of bran makes a very suitable feed for growing colts. in cold weather a little corn may be added not to exceed 25 per cent. of Ile ration. If clover or alfalfa is of the roughage ration But if ns sts of. wi1d—L7:5re cern; stover about 8 per cent. of oil meal should be added to the grain ration. Where oats is high in price and barley is plentiful a ration of cruehed barley 60 per cent., bran 80 per cent .arid all meal 10 per cent. ,sllould give good results. / There is a little danger of over- feeding a colt it it is properly exer- cised, • A colt eshould receive at least one pound. daily for each 100 pounds of lire weight, and if out in the cold a little more may be- used to advan- tage. Growth can he made more rapidly and cheaply during the first year than at any other time, and feed should not be spared at this time.—J. S. Mont- gomery University Farm, St, Paul, ' Minn. A SUBSTITUTE FOR BUTTERFAT. The very best way to feed the calf Is to allow it to run with the cow. There is nothing like its mother'so milk to make it grow rapidly. Dut I since the advent of the separator it has become a common practice to separate the butterfat and feed skim milk to the calie This calls for a re- liable substitute for proper nourish- ment. In preparing this substitute it Is welleto :consider the composition of ' Whole Milk. Chemical analysis shows that whole milk containe one pound of protein to every J. pounds of carbo- hydrates and fat combined. This, then, will have to be our standard for the calf rations. -The average nutri- tive ratio of skim milk is 11.9. Tak- ing the adopted standard ratio of 173.8, we find that something wider tban skim milk will have to be used. In making up a calf meal there is nothing better than tmbolted corn, meal, ground oats and wheat bran. This gives us the following propor- tion: Lbs. Corn meal .... ....... Ground oats—. ... 15 Wheat bran .. ......... 16 Skim. milk 75 Mix the ground feed together and give the calf two parte of this to nine parts of skim milk, The main thing is to get the calf to eat it.

Potatoes may be used for feedeig cows, horses. sheep and pigs, but theY aro best adapted for pigs. To secure thu best results for swine, according to a Government stock -feeding expert, tho potatoes should first be cooked and then made into a thick mush mixed with corn meal or other grain. If sktm milk is added the value. or the feed is increased. In feeing rota - the feed is increased. In feeding pota- to one peck should be fed to start with. They should be given raw and should be run through a root cutter, to prevent choking the cows. An ex- cassive feed of potatoes to a dairy cow is liable to cause SWUM, but as much as one -hale bushel per cow per day has been fed. without bad results. In a,dditioa to the nutrients contained, potatoes give succulence to ratiens, a factor of importance in feeding dairy cows. Farmers have long known that skim milk is a profitable hog feed, but they have had no means of knowing how this compared with grain, Experiment station tests have shown that five Pounds of skint milk are equal to one Dound of grain for pigs. A Buffalo live stock commission dealer says that the hog weighing from 160 to 190 pounds is the most Profitable. "If I were raising swine," he says, "I should. make it a point to turn them into mouey as soon as pos- sible and have others coming on in tbeir place." Whether you realize it or not, your plaits and methods are imitated by your neighbors. A successful farmer has the satisfaction of helping his neighbors by helping himself. The unsuccessful man may be leading others to fail. A few selfish people may not like to see you succeed, but most people are glad to have neigh- bors 'Who do great things, and very few are So eelfish as not to be willing to follow a successful example. A good many fruit trees age set out every year and allowed to just grow in their own way and fashion, -without cultivation or pruning. This is espe- cially true on village lots, grain and dairy farms. And it is also true to some extent in the fruit belt, where fruit culture has developed to a high state of efficiency. No farmer should make the blunder of breeding to a nondescript she). FIGHTING BY NIGHT. "A nocturnal attack on the firing line looks like an exhibition of fire- works magnified a thousand fold," says ' a writer in the November Popular Science Monthly and World's Advance, describing the various devices used by the warring armies to illuminate the battlefields. "At the first shot in the blackness brilliant searchlights, mounted on mo- tor trucks, criss-cross the battlefield with their blinding shafts of light, con- fusing the attackers anti exposing them to a deatlodealing fire of guns and rifles. A sound like a giant sky- rocket is heard, and over the opposite trenches a huge rocket bursts, and, descending slowly under a parachute, an incandescent ball throws down a fan of light, which illuminates the surrounding territory for seVeral min- utes. Before it goes out others take its place, keeping the field under a brilliant light during the entire engage- ment. A glance down the letigth of the lin.e reminds one of the drop lights of the stage, magnified a thousand times: As far as one can see thee lights are dropping, shedding their lights the better to. allow their makers to kill. . "The whirr of an aeroplane's pees- peller is heard overhead. Another danger is added to the melee, end bombs drop in rapid succession from the swift machine. The searchlights flash upwards, sweeping the sky, and finally focus their pencils of light upon the fragile, flying thing. One beam holds the range, while the rest return to the battlefield. Guns fire in quick suecession and a series of fireballs chase across the sky. The anxious gunners follow their shots with their eyes, only to see them fall wide. By watching the course of the illuminated projectile, they are sometimes able to reach their mark, and the aeroplane crumples and falls to earth, "From three-legged standards, much like our own skyreeket holders, rockets are shot out over the field and explode in a great glare of light. "The soldiers defending their trentli- es place sniall grenades in the barrels of their rifles and, resting the butts against the ground, pull the trigger. There is a violent recoil, .and an il- luminating bomb is shot, to explode over the heads of the attackers and bathe them in light for nearly a mitt ute." ••••••••:••••••••410.....••••••.W.

When the boozn days ends, a reaetion in prices Bet in, and with the ,so-ealteil utility craze starting on Us boom, prices fell to figures far too tow, with the result that Many beginneryet un- educated In the true value- of good stock purchased much of the cheap bargain counter fowls, whtcit were little nteire than culla The °Weenie of stock of this kind can have but one result—failure. To -day the purehasera of poultry are asking for ate& at figures far below what good stock a; worth, with a result that the so-called utility poultry keeper Las obtalued trade on elteap stock. The beginner who purchases sheen tock has no one to blamo but him- self, for it is utterly impossible for any poultry brpecler to properly handle the flock, trap -nest the pullets each year or determine the future breeders. 'rile knowledge in the art of properly mat- ing the flock for best mints, in se oaring for the flock that it remains healthy; the extra poultry buildings required to handle the breeders; the aOvertising bills to pay—for advertis- ing must be resorted to—that poultry keepers can know of the merits of the fowls, all this, and much more will show that no sane. poultry keeper could afford to sell stook at but a few cents above the market quotations. Yet that is what many beginners expect, and in the bargain -counter seeking they find stock that in a measure meets their ideas of poultry value, but cannot in a majority of case glee lasting results; nor does it meet with elltionscexrpected requirements of the por- „ In plain words (since the reaction of the poultry prices has set in, above v. hat -was received in tho boom dam bich granted in some cases was too high) the 'beginner is asking the im- possible in demanding good hatching eggs, day-old chicks, or breeding stock at a figure far below for what they can be produced. Haphazard bred stock can be purchased at any time for almost market quotations, and the purchaser will obtain the full value for the price paid, but seldom "an this kind of stock give the returns ex- pected by the"purchaser, who Inc read front time to time of the producing powers of the hens. Proper housing, feeding and care play important parts, but the founda- tion back of it all, the first essential, itt .fact, toward the beet results, is in Proper brdeding. Hence greater care should be observed by beginners in their efforts to obtain as good a foun- dation in the way of breeding stock, whether it be from the results ot egge for hatching, day-old chicks or stock. Unreasonably low prices will not do the industry any good, for the poultry breeder cannot possibly oell high- grade fowls for low figure3, and tee beginner obtaining- any other than the kind. of stock that must make good es on the road to failure. The trend to- eay should be for a better standard - bred fowl, one that is. a good producer, and looks like the breed it is named for. At fair prices the beginner can obtain results from the etock pur- chased. At so -caned bargain -counter rrices the result will be failure. FOWLS NEED MEAT.

This Tough Little Pest Will Flour- ish Even in Cayenne Pepper. 'A tiny but withal practically om- nivorous little felled, the cigarette beetle is known to science as Laslod.- erma serricorne. It is common In nearly all tropical and subtropical countriee, and as a sample of its catholic tastes, we may mntion that it will breed in raisins, rhubarb, cayenne pepper, rice, ginger, dried fish, uphol- stery, ergot, turmeric, books, cane work; gun wads, liquorice, ;saffron, belladonna and in pryrethrura powder strong enough to kill cockroaches --a varied catalogue to be sure. It is .chiefly as a pest of tobacco, in var- ious forms, however, that the cigar- ette beetle has become notorious. The greatest damage is done to the wrap- pers of cigars and cigarettes, through which it eats small holes. The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf, and a very intereeting fact is that the size of the adult beetles, into which are larvae eventually develop depends not only on the quantity, but also on the quality of tobacco that has been devoured in the immature stages. Experiment has shown that in every case beetles obtained from selected cigars were double the size of those front low grade tobacco. It will be remetnbered that the eltesee "skipper" is partial to the better eheeees; shnilarly, the cigarette beetle is somewhat of .a connisicettr, for given a free chola() cigarettes, are always tile first to be infested, wbile cheap grade tobacco and time deePt in the same room will rernein uninfested for years. A.part froin the actual destruction of the tobacco leaf, the larvae spell ite aroma and arcordingly depreciate Its value; it is some Consideration to knoW that the adults themselves do no damage. This little beetle is most difficult to eradicate, and, to that end, an experimental X ray machine was built at great memo in America, Tire machine was to be capable of "eternizing" cigars, on a commercial scale. at the rate of 40,000 xi, day; voltages of 04,000 to 75,000 and exposures as long as an hour were 'lied without the slightest effect upon sggs, larvae, Pupas) or adults — the ?,xperiment was a failure.—"Insects cud Mau," by C.

Marvelous Change in War Owing to the Airmen, That the English. have had battle aeroplaneapable of developing speed as high as, if not higher than, that of the famous German Fokker aeroplane vvaa asserted recently by Henry Wood- house, a governor of the Aero Club of America, who has been. in close touch with the aeronautical development on both sides ever since the naginning of the -war. These machines have not been generally used, because in the beginning there 'were not enough pil- ots to be spared to take them out, al- though a few have been used on the western battle front for reconoais- sancta "Englan.d developed more than a Year ago planes that could make from 140 to 100 miles an hour," Mr. Wood- house said yesterday. "The Royal air- craft factory developed machines of both the Bristol and Sopwith types that could make 150 miles an hour with ease. In addition to theSe, there vvere various other fast machines, such as the Avro, Short, Wright, and Mar- tinsyde types, all of which were small ecouting aeroplanes, and usually man- ned by the pilot only. "It was the very fact that they were not needed tb.at kept them off the bat- tle front. The Germans had nothing that could compare with them, and the ordinary planes of 'from fifty to sev- enty-five miles an hour speed were all that were needed for observation and bomb dropping. Now, however, that the Germans have developed their Fokker class until they are nearly as re,st as the Sopwith and other British speed machines, the fast British ma- chines ‚will be sent to the front." N. W. Wilson, of London, England, in writing on the developments of the war, has dwelt at length on the changes wrought by the use of the aerial scouts, and shows what chatigee their use has made in strategy. The annual manoeuvres of the British navy, Which, 'were to have taken place a few weeks before the war, were abandoned because the use of aerial scouts made the sham battles and other evolutions useless. 'The airmen were able to follow the movements of the opposing fleets so well that the 'secrecy necessary to the success of the manoeuvres was (Ione away with. Mr. Wilson, in reviewing the work of the aerial scouts daring the last Year of the war, says in part: "This remarkable simplification of the art of war was the suprente achievement of the military airmen l duringthe first nine mrcreased s of the campaign, Next to it was importance of long-range" s howitzer fire, and the gezteral improvement in the destructive power of artillery due to fire direction from aeroplanes. In the third place came the long-range Power over the eneeny lines of com- munication, derived froni the bomb - dropping art of the airmen. The best example of it was seen in the part played by our Royal Plying Corps ddritig the attack on Neave Chapelle In March, 1915. "This was, in plan at leapt, the that classic airmen's battle. Mit for an ac- cident it might have resulted itt the breaking of the German front and the recapture of Lille. Much time was spent in preparation. The enemy's trenches were minutely studied and photographed from the air, The artil- lerymen had simply to calculate the elevation of their howitzer, so as to drop an enorinotts ntiMber of high -ex- plosive shelle into the Gernlan lino. "Then 'when the terrific boMbard- inelit opened, and our infatitry ad- vanced, our Royal Plying Corps Was used, probably for the first time in the history of warfare, in a masterly man- ner, They flew behind the enemy's lines and bombarded the railway eta - tion at Don and the rensvity bridge at rileinin, by which reinforcements eould have beert sent to the breaking -point of the German front.

When the war le over letir. ape will be faced with a gigantic, teak of reconetruction, and h is the duty of the workers to ensure, that In the carrying mit of that task their rights are aafe- guartled and their Just deinands satisfied. 'rills will uot happen, if, as the result of an unsatisfactory peaee, tele country finds Itself. with. diminished resourcee and a vast accumulation of debt, forced to maintain for its defence a larger Navy and an Army on the Continental Seale. It will not happen if we are beatensAna it will not hapnen if, through impatience, or shortsightedness, -or eectional Jealousy, organized Labor compromises that unItY mw h i isleadc h hlabeen so nobly manifested un- der the stress of war, but which will be even more required in the coming years of peace. For, unless all experience is s tie', the first years of peace will be a time of grave depression, affecting not one or two trades, but tbe whoie of our industrial system. Machinery has been diverted from productive to unpro- ductive uses; the savings of past years are being absorbed in the cost of the war; the whole economic system, under which Labor produces capital and capital In turn maintains Labor, has been violently disturbed. The labor has gone into other channels, and the capital is being eon- sumed ia indispensable but unreentmera- tive manufactures. The utmost economy that ean be prac- tised in war may alleviate but cannot wholly' overt the distress that is bound to follow it. There are Indeed etionoiniee than inaY aggravate the evil. Every eenny that is wisely spent on the care and upbringing of children, and on the health of the people, will shorten the Period of depression by increasing our canacity for productive Industry, when the war is aver. And every penny which, in response to ill-considered appeals, for economy. is unwisely saved will posteone the return of prosperity. In the inter- ests of the coining generation and their welfare organized Labor has a duty to protest against misplaced parsimony by nubile authorities as much as against timely extravagrance. Both politically and industrially, the next few years will be a time of trial for organized Labor. For a national object the unions have been willing to abandon many of the safeguards 'whin have been devised by the experience of generations for securing the rights of the workers. The most definite pledges have been given and received; the unions will have to see that on both sides they ar scrupolously observed. ganized Labor to be regarded as During the past twelve months or- hasanPsitnatbeigl the national liTe.

Na- ture is calling for more nourishment than the blood can supply, Signs of distress are plainly evident in dull eyee, pale cheeks, weak and aching backs, fits of depression and often a dislike for proper food. These signs mean anaemia—that is bloodlessness. The watchful mother, takes prompt- eteps to give her girl the new, rich) red blood her system calls for, by giv- ing her Dr. Williams Pink Pills, which transform, weak, anaemic girls into a conditionof perfect health, through 'he rich, new blood these pills actually Make. No other medicine has ever succeeded like Dr. Williams Pink Pills and thousands of 'weak, dis- heartened girls have proved their worth. Mies Mabel Sinclair, Cobourg, Ont., says: "About three years ago I Wit s a very sick, nervous and run down girl. At the least excitement I would treMble and faint away, and the slightest noise would annoy me. I had severe pains about the heart, and would often take dizzy and smoth- ering speilc. I lost in weight and the color all le my face. My Mother got all sorts of `Medicine for me, but all failed to do me any good and I was still going down hill. One day we read - in the newspaper of a similar case cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills and the -next time my mother went to town she got three boxes. In a short time I felt the Pills were helping me and from that on every day they help- ed me moro, I took altogether nine boxes and felt like a new pereon. I 'was ready for all my meals, gained iff weight; the color came back to my cheeks, and I was again enjoying per- fect health, and have ever since en. joyed that blessed conditiot. I earn. estiy adviee all weak girls to give Dr. Williains Pink Pills a. fair trial, as I am sure they will do as much for them as they did for me."
