:rint:.
Most ee the feeds (het contain large
emounts (•f n r cal matter—alfalfa
hay, bran, and linen,' mead—also con-
tain large amounts of dige:;tible pro-
tein. Thee ein is the muscle -forming
element, so it is evident these feeds
should enter largely into a ration fed
the growing colt during that part of
the year when grime ie not available,
With bran, linseed meld, and alfalfa
hay you should combine oats, corn,
barley, lcaftr, or mile. Clover hay may •
be substituted for alfalfa hay,
Linseed meal, while not absolutely
necessary when bran and alfalfa hay
are used, gives the horse's coat a
glossy appearance, indicating thrift
and good condition; also, it stimulates
and aids digestion and assimilation.
Horses relish a little prairie hay,
straw, or corn fodder when being fed
large amounts of alfalfa hay.
During the summer the cheapest
and probably the best ration for the
grcwing horse is pasture grass. If
the pasture is good, Little if any grain
is necessary for average growth. If
the pasture is poor, if the season is
dry, ex• if the colts do nct continue to
grow and remain in good condition,
grain should be fed, especially to the'
sucklings and yearlings. If a maxi-,
mum growth is desired, it is i000ssary

Preparing Grains for Fall Fairs.
It pays to advertise. There is no
better advertisement than to be a
prize winter at the Fall Fairs and no
crop on the farm can be exhibited to
better advantage than the cereal crop.
To attain the best results, a special
plot should be maintained and kept
thoroughly clean, free from weeds and
all impurities. Iiarvesting should be
done by hand, keeping the sheaves as
neat and straight as possible.
First and foremost the grain in the
sheaf must not be weathered, it must
be perfectly dry and of good color.
Tho best results are obtained by the
use of slightly immature straw, as it
will be found to be less brittle and
easier to handle. The straw should bo
spread in thin layers in the sun to
dry; the sun tvi11 bleach the straw as

Did you ever see a good lumberman
go into a wood lot and clean out the
underbrush and dead wood, and then
watch the way the remaining trees
grow? Or have you watched a fruit
grower clean vp an old orchard, cut-
ting out dead wood and old limbs that
were in the way, and which were not
bearing fruit, Well, that's just what
should be done to a good many farm
flocks. Not only will culling reduce
the feed bills in direct proportion as
to the number of liens taken out, but
it will give the retraining flock more
room and ti better chance.
In every healthy farms flock there
ore some hens that are laying 200 or'
more eggs a year, while there are
others, if they have never been culled,
that are laying hardly two dozen. In
recent years accurate methods have
been worked out for distinguishing be-
tween the laying and the slacicer hen.
If you have ever kept an egg record
you probably have mitered that in
June or July, about• the time when the
weather 'begins to get disagreeably
warns, the eggs will begin to drop in
number.
On studying individual records of
the average flock, it was found that
even' the hest of hens tend to let up
a little at this time. But the factor
which causes most flock records to fall
is the fact that some liens stop laying
altogether. These hens usually loaf
from early summed' until mid -winter.
They seldom lay enough eggs in a
years time to pay their beard.
The hen that stops laying in the
early summer can he easily detected,
She will usually be found to be molt-
ing, and either half bare or growing
new feathers. On handling her, the
lay bonds, the two small pin bones on
each side of the vent, will be found
hard and still and often very close
together, hardly amore than half an
inch apart. Tho vent will be small,
puckered, and dry. if this hen is fat
and in good flesh, kill and eat her fight
house and home. If
she is thin,
con-
fine her for a week or ten days and
feed her plenty of corn and skim
milk or buttermilk. She will fatten
up in a hurry, and then let iter have
the axe.
Occasionally a good hen is found
10 be resting at this season, It will
take but a second to recognize her, as
she will have, if a yellow -spanked
variety, pale yellow or ivory -colored
shanks and beak. One must be sure
that this pale color is due to heavy
laying and not illness. A description
of a sickly hen is not necessary here,
as this condition will be obvious. If
the Melt has yellow shanks, or if site
has already gone through two or three
years of laying, and is found resting
in summer, you can't make a mistake
by getting rid ef her.
The broody hens, which are so com-
mon at this season, afford a mighty
good opportunity to take out the dead
wood. Broody hens are not all poor
layers, but a great many are. While
taking these pests off the most, ev-
amino the lay bones, and look at the
vent. If the vent is dry and small,
the hen is usually a persistent setter
and a poor layer, If the lay bones
are hard 011d close together, if the
keel bone is bent up near the lay
bones, and 9f the skin over the ab-
domen is bard, thick, and tough, you
can be sure the hen doesn't pay her
board.
If, on the other hand,"this broody
hen's lay bones are spread and pliable,
with the keel bone carried low, the
skin on the abdomen soft and pliable,
the vent large and moist, her shanks
Pale yellow or ivory color, put a dis-
tinguishing band on her. She will bear
a good test Inter in the fall, when
you are selecting breeders. Whett you
make your linal culling and selection,
this type of ben is often the very hest.
This midsummer Culling is not for
the purpose of picking out breeders;
but to dispose of poor hens and non -
producers. Midsulnmer is the best
time to start this culling, but continue
it through the summer until fall,

"Oh, Uncle Henry," cried a small
boy, "whero slid you get that little
boat? Isn't it a fine one?"
"That came from up North, Don-
ald," said Uncle Henry, "It's an In-

made it."
"Oh, Uncle Henry, did you really?"
"Yes, indeed," replied his uncle,
"and it took a good deal of skill to
make it. Every Indian boy is ambi-
tious to learn how to make a good
canoe, How would you like to own
this one, Donald?"
"Own it? I own that canoe?" gasp-
ed Donald, pleased and surprised at
so geuerous an offer.
"Certainly. That'very canoe. Why
not?"
