Every colt should in its weanling form be gentled so that all of its feet may be picked up without any fuss. Get the colts up on the barn boor. If the hoofs have grown long, cut away the projecting portions with a chisel and mallet and, then rasp the ground contacting surface of the wall level.

Simple Method of Measuring Grain For Dairy Cattle. Sometimes farmers tbink they have to weigh the grain every time they give It to the cow. We make up a balanced 'ration of grain which •we don't change during the year. We have a box that bolds exactly two pounds of this grain. A wire is strung 1 in front of the cows .on the feeding' alley and a board on which are tacked card, that bare the figures 1, 11/2, 2,, 214 3, 8'/. 1 can take a foreigner into the barn and sbow bite the box and the figures and be; will put In so many boxes to each'cow as Indicated by the figures on tile cards. We ebaoge these cards every two weeks. 1f the cow is dropping from. thir{yfive pounds of milk to say thirty pounds her feed is reduced in proper- tion, ropertion, so just as the cow begins to go back on us we begin to ge back on her. When she gets down close to the pe' rlod.when we ought to dry per up we start to crit off the grain entirely until the cow is dried ori' completely. As soon es oheis dry we start to feed four pounds of branand one pound of linseed to put tier in good condition fur. maternity. It is wonderfully easy. —.1. S.

It pays to begin to fatten the sow the least bit when ready to breed het and to continue to keep her in a thrifty. condition while, carrying her litter' if large, healthy litters are expected, writes J. S. 'Dunlap in Better Farm. Ing: it is not a good thing to allow more than five or six sows to sleep in one cot or house while they are carrying pigs, and a few weeks before they are due to farrow 1 put them in separate pens, with a house for each sow. This pays during the spring months, and one should be oar r that the bed- WESTERN OATS Broed sows should haveaccessto a blue grass pasture or fall sown rye in the spring if possible. It is a fine thing to let them root a little if they can get to a wood lot or to waste land, By all means see that their bowels are kept open and that they are not allowed to become con- atipnted, It is very importsht pot. ..to allow the sows to become, con- stipated, and they should he fed with this Idea in mind.

Carload just arrived, highest grade. selling at 43e: Corn and Potato Fertilizer stay on the sows the pigs will be free from there when farrowed. Crude pe- troleum, black oil and any of the coal tar dips are good for this purpose. The sows should be kept as quiet and gentle as possible, so that when they farrow you can .handle them_ if neces- sary. I have never bad any trouble with sows at ibis time where they were fed on a balanced ration withtankage and not too much ear corn. There is a great deal of talk about feeding corn to a pregnant sow, but the money making brood sow can use all the ear corn she can get once a day. In addition, it is well to feed her a bad. anced ration to help nourish and.de- velop the litter shewill farrow in the fall. In case of gilts or sows that are fat at breeding time it is better not to allow them too muc'li corn. They will need a feed rich in' protein. I have found that after farrowing it is not best to change the ration to any great extent. Our reason for this Is that when any abrupt change 13 made•in;the sow's ration after farrow- ing that it is more likely to affect the pigs injuriously than where the ration is pretty much the same as that given her before farrowing. There may be some change in the amount given, howmake ever, in order to -up for the wants of the litter of pigs. A great many farmers wait untii a week or ten days before their sows are due to farrow and then begin to slop them and care for them. With the present prices of, pork it will pay to take good care of sows while carry- ing arrying their pigs, and after they farrow to rive close' attention to their ii*fora For well-cohhed corn and large even" sized potatoes use Gunn's Sltur-Crop Fertilizer scientifically prepared by men . of twenty years experience.

Sugar beets will form a very valuable addition to the diet of the hogs during the winter season and, when grain feeds are scarce, might be relied upon quite largely in the winter- ing of stock hogs.
