AS THE COLT IS, SO WILL BE THE HORSE j
Champion Suffolk Mare.
3: A. S ALEXANDER. Wisconsin Ex
periment Station.)
Every foal should be the product of
r.;elligent. correct breeding; not hap
jzard. hii-andmiss mating,
loo many misfits and mongrels are
reduced. Tfc**y fail to make higb
laaa horses, even when properly fed
ind managed. Born wrong, they do
,ot grow aright. It is also lamentably
rue that many colts born right are
raised wrong.
Every farmer should aim to mate
•].!>- suitable sires ai d dams for the
production of ideal horses, for the va
rious purposes, and then should feed
itiJ develop the product perfectly.
Only a pure bred sire ca t beget a
grade horse. He also must be sound,
muscular, prejiotent and s titable in
vpe if tL» colt is to be it-^al. This
is equally ine of his mate. The sire
does not necessarily corre t, in his
progeny, tha E*rious fault? of con
formation of hi* mate. He reproduces
nly those cf his features which are
•tronger or do ninant over the corre
•pondieg fejtutes of the mare.
She statnl* Ps surely upon h°r off
-pring thoeo of her undesirable traits,
• h'ch are oom'.nant over the corre
- ponding traits of the sire. To have
a colt bom right, so that !t will de
velop riffV tfc" character:! of both
-ire aad d?"n 6hou!d be ns similar
:nd idoJ an possible. Violent crosses
-hould te etoicied. The most prepo
tent purebred sire should be used.
The use * all other sire--, is mere
waste of fluae End money.
Given r. foal that is bom right its
development should not be left to
rfcance or luck. It can only material
ize the hereditary possibilities of its
breeding if properly nourished. The
inadequately fed, and consequently
stunted foal never attains full size or
value. At least one-half of the growth
and weight of a horse is attained'dur
ing the first 12 months of life. That
is. therefore, the m«6t important pe
riod in the life of a foal.
The pregnant mare should be fully
fed to insure adequate nourishment
of her fetus and an abundance of milk
for its recept'on. She should be as
well fed while nursing the foal.
If the foal is to make perfect
growth it mus!, from its earliest days,
be provided with oatmeal, then
crushed oats and wheat bran and af
terwards an abundance of whole oats,
bran, grass, buy and roots. There is
no time in the life of a horse w-hen
the feeding cf oats and bran is so
profitable. T!ie foal that is not so
fed may lack fit maturity 25 per cent
or more of the size, weight, strength
and value pofyible, through heredity.
Overfeeding and pampering must be
avoided, however, as they may prove
injurious or ifcinous.
Then, too, if care is not taken to
train the foal's hoofs properly they
may grow crooked and throw the leg
bones out of p' «imb. This will spoil ac
tion and utility at maturity. The feet
must be made level and true by ex
pert raspmg once a month or so dur
ing the growiig years. Such trim
ming is all-imuortant. Postponed it
soon becomes too late to help; the
mischief *s dot e.

SUPPLY OF HUMUS
_______
Particularly Necessary Whec^
Comme-'cial Fertilizers Are
Used With Green Crops.
Except ot- foils nearly or quite vir
gin. there are few farms where bu
rn >s cannot be used by the soil to
great advar*age. In many sections
where commercial fertilizers have been
used foryea-s. to the exclusion of sta
ble immures it has been found neces
sary to grov green crops for plowing
under. Whrre the green crops are
u-.-d as a p/rt of the rotation, so to
speak, the «xclusive use of commer- ■
rial fertilize s can probably be safely
continued.
The best results come from the
combined ur- of stable manures and
commercial -Tenures. using the former

the Utter fo * top-dressing or working
in jus: unde- the surface as the crop
grows. In t. is manner the humus re

WORK TEAMS NEED
THE BEST OF CARE
Furnish Deep. Dry Bedding for
Horse at All Times—Treat
the Ar mais Kindly.
The best crdtr in feeding is: Water,
hay. water aga’n, grain. Never give
grain to a tired horse. Let him rest
and nibble hay for an hour or two
first. Water tie horses as often as
possible: but le' the horse that comes
in hot drink a »ew swallows only.
■ Keep a deep, dry bed under the
horse while he is in the stable, day
or night, on Sundays especially. The'
more he lies down the longer his legs
and feet will last. Never put up a
horse dirty or muddy for the night.
At least, brush his legs and belly and
straighten his hair. In hot weather
and in all weather, if the horse is hot,
sponge his eyes, nose, dock, the har
ness marks and the inside of his hind
quarters when he first comes in.
When the horse comes in wet with
rain, first scrape him, then blanket
him and rub hi ■■ head, neck, loins and
legs. If the weather is cold put on
an extra blanket in 20 minutes. Speak
gently to the horse and do not swear
or yell at him. He is a gentleman by
instinct and should be treated as
such.
Agricultural Fairs.
The agricultural fair has played an
important part in the history of our
country. It has been an educating
factor of no small importance as well
as serving to arouse competition and
giving recreation and social enjoy
ment. In this age of agricultural
activity, when questions of the farm
are feeing forced to the front, wrestled
v ith and\ overcome, unusual interest
is shown at exhibits of live stock,
grains, grasses, \egetables and other
farm products ^
Quail Is Farmek’* .Frieotf.
A quail killed in a potato fi-r-id had
in its craw the remains of Till po
tato bugs. Another killed in Texas
had in its craw the remains W 127
boll weevils. Another killed in la
Kansas wheat field nad the i*-maiiis
of 12100 chinch bugs. The chinch bug,
as early as 1864, damaged staple
crops $100,000,000. Protect the quails!
Home-Grown Seed Com.
The best place to obtain seed corn
is from your own fields or in year ova
neighborhood, selecting a variety that
has proved generally successful, saya
the federal department. If ycu have
an established and reliable co.m
breeder in your neighborhood. It Will
be safe and often will pay to get your
seed from him.
Freeh Manure Best.
Rains, which cause leaching, cause
the loss of a great deal of tbe valu
able part of barnyard manure. Unless
it is carefully conserved in so-^e sort
of basins or under sheds it is b«tter to
spread the manure in the field ns fast
as produced even on the snow and on
tbe side hill.
Don’t Keep Any Loafers.
Winter only the profit-making cows.
Don't guess at it, but know by test
ing. Then fatten the unprofitable ones
and turn them into profitable beeS.
Costume of Original American Design
Ol'R fashions spring from revivals
and adaptations of styles that have
been worn before our day and feel the
influence of all the corners of the
earth. For some time the agitation
on the subject of American designs
for American women has been going
on. The war in Europe brought this
matter to a climax and a fashion
show, tinder the patronage of wealthy
society women of New York city, was
staged recently at the Ritz hotel, in
which the apparel displayed—on ex
tremely clever models—was designed
by members of American establish
ments and made in their workrooms.
The display altogether was credit
able. although any startlingly new and
wholly original ideas were lacking
i In fact, few people are looking for
anything of the kind. What we really
want and take to are styles that have
associations and suggestions that make
them interesting. We like a hint of
the oriental, a whisper of the savage,
a glimpse of the ancient, and not a
bold copy in any case. In fact, when
nothing is left to the imagination,
something is lost of charm.
A lovely gown, among other lovely
things, appeared in the Ritz parade
from Kurzraan—who is famous for
trousseaux, it is pictured here and
is a somewhat radical departure from
present-day fashions. It is of white
| satin, brocaded with silver, and is
made w ithout trimming or elaboration,
j The skirt is flaring and full, hanging
| in set folds. The absence of shoulder
| straps, the pointed bodice and short,
puffed sleeves revive memories of the
days of the Renaissance. After much
elaboration it seems severely simple.
• But there is a reaction toward sim
plicity which, it must be conceded, has
improved the styles of today.
The skirt flaring at the bottom is
' dividing honors with the straight un
derskirt and long, full tunic, and bids
fair to stand in the first place by
• spring. Both are beautiful in outline.
Whether we shall look to American
designers to create our styles or find
that we have been looking to them
! (while we thought all inspiration
came from Paris) for many years, we
are sure of one thing: America is not
without the talent for cre_iing beau
tiful clothes and this talent will be
j recognized through just such events
i as the exhibition at the Ritz.

Fur-Trimmed and All-Fur Hats and Turbans
TO MEET the flying snows that can
do them little harm, fur-trimmed
and all-fur turbans and larger hats in
which fur is conspicuously figured,
have been warmly welcomed by the
world of fashion. There are few all
fur hats as compared to the great
number in which fur forms a part of
the hat or is employed simply as a
trimming.
In turbans the coronets are usually
of fur and the crowns of a fabric.
Rich brocaded silks, plain velvet and
cloth of gold or silver are featured in
the crowns. There are some novel
brimmed hats having crowns of fur
and brims of gold or silver lace. '
But it is in bands used as a trimming
that fur is liked best. There is not
much effort to use it in unusual ways.
Large flowers of silver or gold lace,
having each petal bound with fur, are
novel and these, with ribbon or vel
vet trimmings bound with fur, are
about the only new fur decorations.
A wide band about the crown, a bor
der of fur about a brim edge or band
forming a coronet are the prevalent
modes for using this most staple of
things used in millinery.
Trimmings on fur hats are very sim
ple. A single flower or a single feath
er is the rule for the small turban.
The head and neck of birds of gay
plumage umaghied by the manufac
turer and not grown by nature) are
occasionally seen, and fluffy pompions
seem appropriately posed against a
background of fur.
The hats shown in the picture are
fine examples of the way in which
furs are used in millinery. The ma
jority of millinery furs are imitations
of the skins for w hich they are named.
But they are equal to such demands
as are made of them so far as wear
ing qualities are concerned. Hats
made of fine, genuine skins are costly
but, considering their durability anc
the fact that these furs are never oat
of style and may be used again and
again, they are, after all. among the
most economical of hats.

AS TO THE HANDKERCHIEF
Dainty Trifles Never Were Given More
Attention Than They Are Re
ceiving Jsist Now.
If you have the time, it is a wise
and dainty thing to make your own
handkerchiefs. If you wish to be
really smart, remember the handker
chiefs used by the ultra-fashionable,
at least in the morning and afternoon,
are embroidered or initialed in color.
Usually the initial matches a color
in the frock or the hat or some othei
accessory, if the principal part of the
costume is white. It is well to have
several handkerchiefs embroidered in
green, it being a neutral color, so that
they can be carried with those frocks
for which you have no matching color.
Frequently white handkerchiefs
have border hems in color and an ini
tial or monogram of the hem color.
It is a pretty custom to embroider
about the monogram or initial a little
wreath or medallion frame.

MANITOBA’S AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRY
REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN
THAT PROVINCE DURING THE
PAST FEW YEARS.
The past year has shown that the
Province of Manitoba, the Premier
Province of Western Canada, stands
out prominently in point of wealth In
her agricultural productions. Mani
toba had an excellent yield of wheat
in 1914, the oat crop was not so good,
and with the high price received, every
farmer was placed in a good financial
position.
For some years, as is probably the
case in all new countries, Manitoba
went largely into the growing of
grain, and while this paid well for a
time, it was found that having to pur
chase his meat, his milk and a num
ber of other daily requisites, the farm
did not pay as it should. Now, there
is another side to it. Fodder crops
are grown, cattle are ' being raised,
cheese factories and creameries are
established, and the result is that the
financial position of the farmers of
Manitoba is as strong as that of those
in any other portion of the continent.
Scarcely a farmer today but has real
ized that the growing of grains alone
has a precarious side, and that posi
tive security can only be assured by
diversified farming, and securing the
latest modern and most economic
methods. Therefore timothy, clover,
alfalfa, rye grass and fodder corn are
universally grown. Most wonderful
success meets the efforts of the farm
ers In the cultivation of these grasses,
and the yields compare favorably
with those of many older countries,
while in many cases they exceed them.
It is worth while recording the acre*
age of these crops this season as com
pared with last, because the figures re
flect the remarkable progress that is
being made in dairying and in the
beef and pork industry. In 1913 brome
grass was sown on 24,912 acres, rye
grass on 21,917 acres, timothy on
118,712 acres, clover on 5,328 acres, al
falfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on
20,223 acres. In 1914 the respective
acreage under those crops were 25,444
acres, 27,100 acres, 165,990 acres, 7,212
acres, and 10,250 acres and 30,430 acres.
Alfalfa particularly is coming into its
own, the acreage having been more
than doubled last year.
It is simply the natural process of
evolution from the purely grain farm
ing which Manitoba knew as the only
method twenty years ago to the more
diversified fomns of agriculture that
is responsible for the development
along these other lines in this Prov
ince. Alberta is coming to it at an
earlier stage than did Manitoba. Sas
katchewan,' too, is following rapidly
in the same direction.
Then," as her fodder crop and root
crop acreage indicate, there have been
increases in the holdings of all kinds
of live stock during the past twelve
months, according to the correspond
ent for the Toronto Globe. Beef cattle
number 42,000 head this year, as
against 37,000 last year; milch cows
are 160,474 head, as against 157,963
head; pigs number 325,000 as against
24S.000; sheep number 75,000, as
against 52,000; and there are 325,000
horses, as compared with 300,000 at
this time last year. These are the
latest Provincial figures, and they
show that despite the great efflux of
live stoekj:o the I'nited States since
the opening of that market to Can
ada, the capital amount of live ani
mals has increased instead of hav
ing decreased through the extra de
mand.
Dairying the Principal Industry.
Dairying is the industry, however,
which is making dollars for the Mani
toba farmer It is developing at a rap
id rate In this Province for that par
ticular reason. The output of cream
ery butter last year was 4,000,000
pounds, at an average pric^ of 27.5
cents per pound, which was an in
crease over the previous year of a
million pounds. The output of dairy
butter was recorded last year at 4.2SS,
276 pounds. The Government depart
ment says that again this year a sub
stantial increase in the dairy output
will be shown from this Province.
From this same source of information
one finds that through the splendid
growth in winter dairying. Winnipeg
now. for tk first time in years, is
able to obtain a sufficient supply of
milk and sweet cream from its city
dairies to satisfy its demand through
out the year without having to import
large quantities of these products
from the United States as was dons
not longer than two years ago.—Ad

Mountains of Rock Sait.
Near Jelfa, Algeria, is to be seen a
mountain of rock salt, 300 feet in
height and nearly a mile in diameter.
Two other hills of this character are
known in Algeria, both being near
Biskra, and in all cases the salt is
surrounded by triassic marls and
clays. A curious feature of the Jelfa
hill is the fact that in spite of the
very soluble character of the material
composing it it stands up in high re
lief from the surrounding clay and
contains no valleys or other sign of
erosion. It does, however, contain a
number of sink holes, as in a lime
stone country. When the brief tor
rential rains of winter occur the water
sinks almost at once into these cavi
ties and soaks through the permeable
salt, emerging at the margin of the
hill in salt springs.
Another Horror of War.
The other day an innocent-eyed
young lady, whose demeanor has al
ways been sweet and gentle, went to
a bookstore and returned with three
volumes under her arm.
“What have you there?” she was
asked by a male friend. Of course,
he expected for an answer the titles
of three fluffy novels full of moonlight
and love.
Instead the gentle young thing rat
tled off glibly:
“Oh. I've just bought Armies and
Navies in the World War, The Begin
nings of the Great European Struggle
and Battles of the War on Land and
Sea.’’
"Ye gods!” gasped the man, and
then under his breath: “Sherman was
