At the beginning. however, we may
be sure `that halter handling from a
very tender age is essential. It is one
thing that a colt never seems to learn
well after he has become large and.
strong, and a horse that does not step
up promptly to the halter and that
does not firmly believe that hiscon-
nection with the man at the .other end
of the halter is absolutely unbreaka•

means for twenty years or more—a
long time to contend with any nut.

As to the advisability of • further
training of the draft colt beforehe,is

doubt Our drafters take naturally,tc

true and energetic workers. But, per-

those who handle horses possess. This
question of extended,early, training of

DISEASES' OF • HOGS.
Worms and Lack of Mineral Matter
O•ften Cause Serious Loss. `
Whenever and wherever hog cholera
Is prevailing, all other epidemics ,to
which swine are subject are apt to ebe
classified as bog cholera.' Here is an.
incident that took place In Will coun-
ty, I11., which is u case in point. The
same is related by the Farmer's Re-
view as illustrating the value of a
county adviser;
One 'day a hurry up call was re-
relved from a farmer whose hogs were .
dying from supposed cholera. Of 300
head but -fifty were left, and the ex-
ternal appearance of these did not in -
dictate cholera. •The adviser bad a sick
one killed • and Immediately made' a
postmortem examination. The vital
organs were found to be in a healthy
condition, but the intestines were full
of worms: Mr. Grannie advised u
vermifuge for expelling the worms and
the feeding of a mixture of limestone
screenlu gs, rock phosphate and wood
ashes. This advice was followed, and
po further Toss of pigs followed. This
advice is Invaluable to the hog raiser.
Worms and lack of minerAmatter are
two great causes that contribute to a
bad physical condition, which makes
pigs susceptible to any disease that
may come along, and If they die in apy
number it is called cholera.

Prevention of Disease In the Hog Herd
Better Than Treatment.
. There is 'a farm in central Ohio
which is noted for its Eine hogs. There
are always from 150 to 300 good pork-

Cholera has raged all about It. but
there bas never 'been a case on the

One day a neighbor came wandering,
through the place. The owner halted
him and asked him whether the report
was true that he' citnme from a farm
infected with cholera. The neighbor
ndinitted that his hogs were dying of
it. "Then get off my place" said the
owner. The neighbor grew hntfy,

"Yes, isn't it a fine night?" answered

"So you'll have a nice drive and
won't wish you hadn't come to see

"On the contrary, 1 assure you; I al.

of swine paralysis. and this may be

Do not ask the cow to make
milk and keep herself warm with
the same feed: At least give her
a fair chance to be protected from
the, storms and then let her use
the feed for tniik making alone.
Tbe'cow is a machine that must
convert food Into milk. This is
one reason why she should have.
such a .large middle, for there is
the place where the food must be
worked over.
Milk that is kept : clean and
properly cooled needs no preserv-
ative.
Comfort is essential to profita-
ble milk production, and a cow
cannot be comfortable without
good bedding. Don't forget the
straw.
It pleases the cow to be milked
quickly and gets her in the hab-
it of giving down promptly it is

Weanlings -do better when by them-
seises than when running and feeding
with older horses.
Grooming when the bedding is plen-
tiful is not much in need under this
system. The feet should be regularly
looked after at least once a month. A
gond hoof rasp is the proper tool with
which to level up the foot. Don't let
the toes get too tong and keep the
hoof wall slightly beveled on the out-
side to prevent splitting. Much can be.
done to remedy faulty conformation'
of legs by skillful and regular atten
tion to the growing colt's feet if the
'stable is clean and free from mites at
the setting in of winter there is likely,
to be no trouble from lice. Free the
colts from worms at, the beginning of
winter rather than wait for the foals
to get out of shape generally.

Colts Need Feed That Will Develop
Bone and Muscle.
Oats, preferably crusbed or ground,
is the best single grain to feed a
weanling colt. Here at the station our
weanlings have developed well when
the grain ration was two-thirds by
weight of ground oats and one-third
ground corn, the Say being alfalfa.
When the roughage Is anything but a
good quality of legume hay it is, best
to make the grain ration one-fourth
to one-fifth bran. says Professor J. L.
Edmonds of the Illinois experiment
station. It is not possible to state in
pounds just the amount of feed that
will be required, but good, sound draft
weanlings will pay handsomely if fed
all the grain that they will clean up
three times per day. Good quality of
alfalfa and clover are the best rough -
ages. They are growers of bone and
muscle.
Weanlings ought not to be exposed
to the elements at night or on the
stormiest days. Access to a roomy,
closed shed or run in fours in a roomy
box will be found right. The run of
a good blue grass field will afford ex-
ercise and some feet. Plenty of ex-
ercise in the open with the chance to
grow a good coat is as essential as
feed in making a good frame. Wean-
lings handfed in this manner may look
a bit shaggy, but they will do much
better than the pampered hind. It Is

the road over which I travel was built, I had to
get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to start on my
journey, The limit of the load I could haul with
a team of 1800 pound horses was 2500 pounds,
and after visiting the factory I would arrive back
at my home late in the evening. But look at the
difference now that a permanent hard surface has
been laid down. I start on my trip about 8
o'clock and need only a team weighing 1400
pounds to haul, a load of 5000 pounds of cabbage,
which is double my previous, capacity. And,
best of all, I find on my return to the house early
in the afternoon, that I have finished the day's
work without the horses having turned a hair."
