ing the seed in small quantities

The colt likes a mixture or a var-
iety of grains and will thrive best on
sueh a ration. He relishes core, and
• it may well be fed as part of the
grin ration, but it should not be fed
alone nor in too great quantities. Bran
Is a splendid feed and contains mater-
ial for bone soul muscle. A mixture
of oats ei) per rent., corn 30 per cent.,
and bran, .10 per cent. makes, a ration
that will enable any colt to grow rap-
idly. A handful of oil may be pro-
fitably added.
The following ration is recommend-
ed by a winter Itunb raiser in Eastern
Canada: I3y weight, rolled or crack-
ed corn, one part; barley, one part;
oats, one part; bran, two parts.
When the lambs have learned to eat,
they should be fed with scrupulous
regularity three times per. day, and all
food removed frail' the trough before
any new is added, as the Iambs have
very fastidious appetites and will not
eat food after it has once been "nosed
over." '
At thb University Farm of the Mis-
souri College of Agriculture in greas-
ing the plow to prevent rust, good ree
sults are obtained front a mixture of
whiting and hard oil. A thick paste
is first made and then thinned by
adding, more oil. • This is applied to
the moldboard with a brush and rub-
bed off with a gunnysack just before
using the implements in spring.
The North Dakota Experiment Sta-
tion says that barley is nearly as good.
for fattening hogs as corn. On ac-
count of the hull it is less digestible.
Oats is also a good hog feed when
combined with other feeds as barley,
corn or shorts. For fattening hogs
It can form up to one-third of the ra-
tion. For growing hogs as much as
one-half oats can be fed with good re-
sults.

The claimant 'spraying which de-'
Stroys the bark scale and the eggs of
injurious insects is the most important
spraying of the year, in the judgment
of some orchardists.
The trees should be sprayed
whether there was a crop or not.
-Spraying in off -years is just as Im-
portant as in years when there Is a
full crop.
The dairy heifers should be kept in
a healthy condition during winter. If
their growth is stunted it will reduce
their milk yield and their value as
breeding animals when mature.
To help in conteolling twig blight
In fruit( trees it is ueceseary to get rid
of all old, useless pear, apple or wild
fruit trees, prune out badly -blighted
twigs and cut away blighted spots on
trunks or large limbs. -
• Repeated tests and well-established
official records show that a. pure-bred
cow of the standard breeds will give
several times more milk and butter in
a year than the average dairy cow.
The pure-bred dairy cow, therefore, is
the all-important factor in raising the
average produet of the dairy cows in
America.
IRaising good dairy heifers costs less
than to buy cows; it insures better
cows; it secures a uniform herd; it
provides a surplus to be sold; it sate -
guards the home herd against disease,
and it make e dairying most satisfac-
tory.
The best way to get better teams, so
better implements may be used, is to
• start with heavy draft mares and raise
colts. The mares will do the farm
work and raise their colts, By breed-
ing the mares to desirable pure-bred
stallions, so that they will bring colts
at a time when work in the fields is
not so pressing, the Mares will be sat-
isfactory as teams.

to be worth half as much per 100'

THE PLATE ON THE
Curious Story ofa, Prophecy That
WAS
Visitors at Museues often comment
on the sadness of the present state of
the Egyptian !mummies who were
burled with such great care en hope
that their rest Might never be disturb-
ed. But such thoughts never eater the
minds of natives who pillage their an -
'costars," graves, nor do they disturb
then more civilized eaplarer. To a
superstitious person, however, a
story of a mummy that R. Caton
Woodville tette in "Random Recollec-
tions" Might have it sinister Meat*
Inge
After the ill-fated expedition to re-
lieve Gordon, Waiter Ingram brought
to Londoti the mummy of an Egyptian
high priest that he had bought from
an. Arab near Assuan. When he Un-
veiled the IntunnlY he 10=1 on Ito
chest a gold plate, Upon which wart in-
scribed: .,"He who disturbs My rest
and takes'Ine to a distant land shall
die a violent death. His bones shall
ntVer be found. They shall be scat-
tered to the four points of tb,e world."
Shortly afterward Ingrain. Went to
,$oniallland on A big parade expedi-
tion. He had a four bore rifle and
when in the elephant region got two
good tuskera. So he lent his rifle to
one of his companions, who had not
ea !Wavy a weapon, to give hire a bet-
ter auto of begging an elephant. He
himself mounted a pony arid went off
with three Simons, armed with a .460
exprese, which shoots bullets of only
.260 grains to hag an antelope or per-
haps a panther.

at the beaet's forehead from about fif-

out of reach and reloaded, rode up
and fired again, with a similar result;
again galloped away and reloaded,
and so on until he had expended all
of the cartridges.
As he was galloping away after his
last shot, with the furious brute in

stock still, apparently tor no reason
whatever. The elephant thundered

saddle, clashed him 'to the ground and
trampled him to death.. The tragedy
occurred in the bed of a dry nullab
and was witnessed by the three Som-
alis, who had climbed for safety to the
tops of trees. They were armed on-
ly with spears, whieh, of course, were
useless weapons against the elepbant.
After the brute had one they climbed
down, dug a hole with their spears,
Placed the body of poor Ingram in It
and returned to camp with their sad
story..
Some time afterward Mrs, Ingram,
the hunter's mother, sent out an ex-
pedition to find and being back to
land the remains of her son. The
spot was found, but two rainy seasons
had passed, and th4 dry nuilah had
become a roaring river that had
washed away the remains of the four
points of the earth. Thus was the
Prophecy fulfilled.

SAVE THE APPLES I!
SALAIMINSOSIMIL.M.O•34••••
iS11111...1.0163•11
More people ale thinking harder
about the food question than at any
time within the memory of man, and
every stimulus is being given to the
production, of more food products, both
on the farm and in garden lots. But
twe must not overlook the fact that R.
is not the food which is produced in
the field , but that which is actually
consumed which has a food value. It
it is potatoes which come to the table
and not those which are deg from the
field, which are the true measure of
our efforts to solve the food problem.
In other words, the question of saving
food is almost of equal importance
with that of producing food, If we
apply this principle to our standard
fruit crop "the apple," we are cent»
pelted to note that even with a very
scanty yield a considerable portion of
the apples that are picked are never
consumed, but are lost in storage be-
fore they can be utilized.
A great deal of this loss is prevent-
ible, and in the present time of stress,
when every ounce of food material
should be made available, the question
of utilizing the • whole crop from the
orchard is not so much a matter of
profit to the owner in dollars and
cents as it is a patriotic duty. In many
cases it will not pay to try tOseve the
fruit, since the distance to market, the
labor involved, the cost of attention,
etc., would be greater than the amount
received.for it, hut if thisns a desire
to preserve every speck of our fead
resources, the attitude ot **profit and
loss is not the -only one. It is criminal
to llow food to waste because it will
not pay to care for it, when it can be
sold for a small amount or even giVeu
away, and thus play its part in feeding
a hungry world.
A few suggestions are appended re-
garding the losses which occur in the
storage of apples and means of avoid-
ing these, and the's° aro given in the
hope that they may help in some small
way to preserve our scanty but valu-
able supply.
enter° are two main reasons why en -
Ines are lost in storage: (1) Deterion
anon resulting from storage condi-
tions; (2) rots due to the action • of
fungi,'
(I) Many apples are brought .on the
market which are affected by spots or
are "sanded," that is, the outer tie -
sue of the fruit has turned brown and
soft. Many more are thrown away
without coming fa market, because it
is felt that they are unsaleable, or the
retnrns would not pay for 'satiating
them, and they are lost to the public.
The spots and scalding have been
shown to resulst from improper storage
conditions, and if the cause was gen-
erally known and the proper measures
taken to avoid it there is no reason
why apples should be suffered to waste
in this fashion. Scald takes plaee when
apples ate stored at a higher tempera-
ture than is desirable, but even at
this teinPerature it is maialy lack of
aeration whieh produees the spotting
and scalding, 11 a good. circulation
of eir is provided In the storage room
little or no scald will occur. Where
apples are piled together hi a large
mass In a close roam without ventila-
tion they are likely to scald.
It sheltie be understood thar the
fruit le aot dormant during the storage
period, but that there is a constant,
if small, deeelopment et growth pro-
cesses during the whole Period. These
nroeeesect result In Maturing the apple,
and the chemical changes Which oecUr
during them involve the absorption of
oxygen front the air and the glyln,g not
of carbon dioxide. It is, in feet, a sort
of breathing process. Where apples are
otOred wnere there is no free accese of
air, thy are "s.mothered," ane the
seaid witieh results is due to the ab-
normal changes which result from an
inadequate air supply, It Is obvious,
therefore, that in almost any ordinary

(2) Rotting at applee is the result
of the action ot various fungi which
are able to penetrate the skin and
grow througn the Untie, turning It
brown and soft, These fungi are aprepil
from one apple to the other by spores,
carried in -drafts or in handlingor
the rot fungus may grow directly from
an infected apple to one wbicli touches
It, The rot fungi grow more readily 1n
moist and warm conditions thatt where
the cellar is cool and dry, _Apples
which are brinseci, wormy, mined, or
have their akin broken are very read-

apples do lint fail to develop the rot.
TIte following hints will help a great
deal in leasetting the loss freni title
cause:
• On Keep the air in the cellar fair -
V' dry, The spores of the rot fungi
grow very well when the skin bas
moisture on it but may lie on the skin
for weeks withaut giving trouble if
no moisture is Present.
(2) Keep the temperature aosvn as
low as possible without freezing. Rot
fungi grows best wliere Itis warm, If
apples during storage ehow rat spots,
which are more or, less indefinite at
the edges, it is it sign that the rot is
rapidly progressing, and the tempera-
ture is probably too high. Where the
temperature is low and the lot fungi
grows more slowly the rot spots cm the
apply are usually sharply defined at
their edges, and the color of the spots
is either black or brown to the very
edge. Dispose of all bruised, wormy
or injured apples as soon as possible.
It they can't be sold, give they away,
so that your country at large will pro-
fit by their food valite and they will
notbewiaeshted.
3)pover the
apples at regular
Intervale apt' remove deteriorated
fruits or those which show signs of
rot. Fruit which is just. starting to rot
has a certain feed value, whereas if left
for a few days it is useless.
(4) Remove all rotting apples front
the storage room and aestroy them. If
left lying among other fruits they are
likely to produce immense numbers ot
spores, which will increase and rot all
the other fruits. Although we cannot
see these spores flying about, they are
a very real danger, and cleanlinese in
the matteu or the rotten fruits will be
very well repaid.
