FEEDING T dE COLT AT WEANING TIME The profitable draft horse is grown from a foal that has been kept grow- ing from start to fis isl1 and matured with strong sinew and muscle, writes G. W. Brown in the National Stock- man.. Such an aminal is of value, and the few pounds that are placed upon a matured animal, with size, proper shape and good weight, are worth dol- lars to the owner. '.Chis cannot be ac- complished with au 1101mal that has been allowed to go bad at the crucial point in its life -weaning. The best horse is grown from a dam that is bred only every otber season, and there are good reasons set forth. Tlie dam is not only much easier kept in condition, but the foal may be grown up from infancy much stronger and is better prepared to meet the weaning period. 'Then it isnot pies sary to wean the youngcolt at so ear- ly a period in order to avoid auger in robbing the strength of the dam and leer fetus. This is very important to the wending, as It may stay at the side of the dam a much longer time. If supplemental foods, such as bra's, middlings, gluten feed, chopped oats and corn, have been introduced in a proper ration. previous to weaning time this .period is easily tided .over In the Istsla Photo by New' York Agricultural college.'

You can slip it now and start it in bottles of water, with a little sand in the bottom. Then a little later plant the rooted slips in good, loose soil, and put :it in the rooms where you want it. One flower lover -rather plant lover -has ivy growing at the sides of all her windows. She has green fishnet curtains at the sides of the windows, and the ivy gerambles sturdily up these curtains. Very often the rooms can be cleaned without removing the ivy simply by putting it on a chair or table and looping the curtains up with it. But when it is necessary to give the rooms a more thorough cleaning the ivy can be simply taken into other rooms. When it 13 brought back it begins to cliug as affection ately and trustingly as ever to its friend, the curtains, which it evident ly mistakes for some giants of the forestgreen. It is quite possible to have a little wooden trellis, in ladder wise fashion, of twouprights, crossed by bar's five or six inches apart, The ivy can be trained to this trellis, where it will thrive and grow.
