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-

the colt can at its full- .allowance ot

handle carefully, halter them and
teach them to lead. Mw inspect
their feet and gentle them in regard

carefully handled a few times each
day for several days, it will greatly

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

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-

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. The best
way is gradually to introduce the sub-
stitute till the whole amount is Oaten.

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."

some eases was &are its true 'value.
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

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

grade fowls for low figure3, and tee

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.

THE CIGARETTE BEETLE.
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

stery, ergot, turmeric, books, cane

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

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

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

abandon many of the safeguards 'whin

A MOTHER'S DUTY
TO HER DAUGHTER
Her Health Must Be Carefully
Guarded as She Approaches
Womanhood.
The mother who calls to mind her
own girlhood knows how urgently her
daughter is likely to need help and
strength in the years between early
school days and womanhood. It is
then that growing girls droop, become
feeble, bloodless and nervous. 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.

am sure they will do as much for
them as they did for me."
