THE FRENCH-CANADIAN HORSE. f
e
The French-Canadian horse, which fi
is comparatively little known outside
the province of Quebec, is claimed to t
be one of the most durable and other- 0
wise useful horses to be found any- v
where- in Canada. in bulletin 95 Of e
, the Experimental Farms, the author, ,
Mr. Gus.� Langelier, points out that t
this breed Is descended from the old a
time French-Canadian pony, sent from I
France to Canada by Louis XIV. t
These ponies were of the best that V
,could be procured in their native land.
They remained for three years the S
property of the king, and were then u
distributed among the farmers Of Can- i
ada, in order to encourage the de- s
velopment of agriculture. a
Some years ago the Pedigree re- t
cords for the French-Canadian horse, I
,
maintained by the Quebec Govern- o
ment, were transferred to the Nation- t
al Live Stock Records. Other steps 'I
have been taken to maintain the breed v

I OVERFEEDING CALVES.
Overfeeding is one of the common
,,causes of scours in hand -raised
calves, (says Professor 10 H. Eckles,
of the University of Minn;sota). It is
a migtake, to think that because the
cream has been removed the -calf
needs More of the skim milk, or that
because the calf Is not doing well It
is not getting enough milk . The Calf
gulps its milk down so quickly that its
appetite is only half satisfied even
when gtttingag Much as it can digest.
Agood, rule Is always to keep the calf
a little hungry. it It does not show a
strong appetite for more than it gets
something is wrong with either the
calf or the amount of milk given. The
amount to be given varies with the
age and size of the animal. At the
age of two or three weekg whet' first

ay is to regulate the amount of milk
ach animal receives by feeding in
eparate pails. Allowing two to drink
ogether from a bucket or several from
trough is a bad practice, and will
ead to ,sickness sooner or later. By

mount of milk should be out down
o one-third for two or three feedings.
t generally helps matters to give 3
zs. of castor oil in a pall of milk to
he animal showing the first signs of
ndigestion. it is far easier to pro-
ent than to cure scours, and care-
ul attention to the amouint of milk
ed will help greatly in preventing
hese troubles.
Why Plough Clover Under?
I am very partial to the practice of
toughing under the second growth of
lover late in the'fall or very early
n the spring. one reason for Plough -
ng under t>e second growth of clover
s that the roots build up the fertility
f the soil below the ploughed soil,
which is very important In the produc-
tion Of crops. Late in the fall the
clover plants move -a large part of the
food materials from the tops to the
roots, and part of these materials will
be stored In the roote of the clover
below the line of ploughing, and as
the clover roots decompose there will
be furnished available food for the
succeeding crop. If the tops be cut off
by ploughing, the food stored in the
roots will remain at a -good depth to
decay and supply food for coming
crops. This not Only builds up the
humus and plant food in the soil
deeper than it can be ploughed, ,but
the perforation of the subsoil by these
roots will Permit of a deeper aeration
and storage for moisture.
It the ploughing Is not done until
late in the spring after considerable
growth has been made, these food
materials which were stored in the
roots in the fall will be moved up an4
used In making growth, and It ther
Ploughed under the tendency will bc
to make the ploughed soil more for
tile Instead of the deeper soil; an�
when the ploughed soil only Is for
tile, the roots of crops will remalt

this becomes dry in a time of drought
the crops may suffer for lack of moiE

change pasture every three or four
weeks. This is about the only way
stomach worms, which kill a good
