HALTER-BREAKING
----- -- -
Turned Out
(Br J. m. m:u..)
Twenty-odd years ago the writer
met a New York horse dealer; this
same dealer came to Virginia and
bought a farm. Ha wanted to raise
colts In addition to email (arming.
First thero was a pure bred l'erch
eron stallion, then a number of well
set, well made draft mares good In
dividuals, no nondencript. but as thts
article doala with the colt proposition
we'll get back to it.
At thirty-six hours of ago thoy wero
haltered and left in tho stalls one
to a stall, of course, an their dams
slept there at night.
Very soon tho colts wero perfectly
halter-brokon (long boforo thoy wore
weaned) and In being halter-broken
they were taught one of tho moot im
portant things In homo breaking,
namely, to stand tied when hitched.
This one quality Is about half of the
education of a horse, and without It
no horso Is properly broken.
The dams of theso colts were
worked regularly on tho farm, earning
their own living and at the same time
making something for their owner.
When old enough to eat Rolld food
they wore fed each day and later on
turned out to pasture, but still were
given some extra feed and their mo
thers' milk until ready to wean, when
they wero put out In a good grazing
field.
Tho dama wero well fed and regu
larly worked at least eleven monthR
out of tho twelve, If tho wcathor per
mitted. They kept In good working order,
did good work all tho year round and
four out of five raised a thrifty colt.
Never let a colt grow to any ago
nd slzo without halter breaking him.

PIG-EATING HABIT
' ONLY IN OLD SOWS
Characteristic Never Laid at
Door of Young Mother Rem-
' edy Found in Exercise. -
It Is a well known fact that tho pig
eating propensity Is an attribute of an
old sow; tho characteristic Is never
laid at the door of the young mother.
If not the old It 1b the mature bred
sow; she with the second or third Ut
ter, and It will be found that she Is
usually of the slow, sluggish disposi
tion. An argument put forth is that this
Is tho falling of the domesticated, but
uncivilized hog alone. Under natural
conditions tho mother will sacrifice
ber own life for that of her young, but
the roverso has never been heard of.
Why, then, with this fact should we
be led to believe wo feed our hogs
too much; that the cure is more ani
mal food and protein? Why cultivate
a tasto for meat?
Which sow Is It that most needs
protein? Is It the gilt that must grow
both ber own frame nnd her litter, or
Is It the mature sow that has only
ber litter?
It Is a known fact that on stock
farms where as many as fifty or more
brood sowb are kept they and their
progeny run after the cattle.
The only feed of these bows may bo
corn In tho winter, either fresh or In
the droppings of tho cattle. In the
aummer corn and grass. In this bill
of faro It Is seen that protein. Is con
spicuous by its absence, yet from
those farms come no reports of pig
eating sows.
Instead, the complaints of the sow
with a tooth for her own offspring
come from farms where the sows are
fcept In a small 8x10 pen, living a life
of Idleness and suffering from a slug-,
glsh llvor, constipation, malnutrition,
anaemia, melancholia and various
other ills, and curable, all of them, ac
cording to experiments In turning
them out to exercise and scouring for
morning's breakfast.
However, If exercise must be de
nied, the man who must needB keep
his sows In this 8x10 pen can at least
,soo that her bowels aro well exer
cised. A llttlo amount of bran Is a good
thing to add to the ration. It Is usod
ifor mechanical effects only, so enough
should be used duly to keep the bow

eral farm hands, which may be n frol
ic to the latter but quite contrary to
tho former.
A wild, green colt Is as strong as n
bull when thus cornered, a man trlei
to throw a nooso over tlio terrified
animal's head, ho misses, the colt
springs to the far sldo of the stall,
rears nnd attempts to break over the
partition; back ho Is forced by a fel
low with tho handlo of a pitchfork or
somo other equally servlceublo wen
pon. Again they try the noose, nnd this
time successfully. The sweating,
plunging young animal Ih now drawn
up to tho partition by three husky
farm laborers, a bridle Is placed on
his head, the doom art opened nnd

Men are hanging to tho end of th(
long rope, an end of which Is rur
through the bit.
Tho colt reaches the end of Iti
tether with n Jerk which nearly dlsjo
cates his Jaw; he is brought sudden);
to a stop, when one of the men walki
up to him.
Tho colt backs, the three fellows at
tho end of the rope Jerk and swing
on It until tho colt comes to a stand
still, with eyes staring and the sweat
running nut of every pore.
Now ho Is forced to move. Away
ho springs, to bo Jerked back sudden
ly. In the courso of an hour the men
und tho victim aro equally worn out
and tho colt, having received his first
lesson, Is put back in tho stable with
tho bridle on and the rope dragging tc
bo left In this way until another day
when tho samo Idiotic pcrformnnct

So much for this kind of halter
breaking. Thero should really be nc
kind of halter-breaking except thi
sort that tnkeB place when tho colt li

BUCKWHEAT MAKES
GOOD CATTLE FEED
Quick Growing Crop and Straw
Is Good Absorbent for Use
About the Stables.
(By A. J. LnGO.)
Thirty years ago farmers were pre
Judlced against buckwheat as a farn
crop. They thought buckwheat a verj
exhaustive crop and that It rulnet
their soil.
Now nearly every farmer In thii
section grows a fow acres of buck
wheat, and while It Is a quick-growing
crop and, of course, removes cousld
orablo of 'the plant food, It does not
seem to be harder on the, soil than
corn or oats.
Buckwheat will keep down tho weede
and keep the soil practlcaly free from
them. It Is an excellent crop with
which to sow grass and clover on ac
count of this, and also because It ma
tures quickly and leaves the young
plants In complete possession of the
soil.
As to the value of the buckwheat, It
makes a good feed for all the stock
and tho straw la a good absorbent to
use about the stable. The nutritive
ratio of buckwheat Is about one to
seven.
As to Its cultivation, It may be
sown hero as late as August and ma
ture a crop. It only requires about 60
days In which to. mature. An acid
phosphate seems to be the fertilizer
to use.
The West Virginia experiment sta
tion found that 160 pounds of acid
phosphate per aero was the most eco
nomical fertilizer to use on buck
wheat A heavier application did not pay
the extra cost of the fertilizer In in
creased yield.
One bushel of Japanese buckwheat,
or three pecks of the Sliver Hull varl
oty per acre, Is enough seed to use.
The soil .should be well prepared,
by plowing, narrowing and rolling. It
Is usually better to plow tho ground
two or three weeks before seeding.
The crop Is sown here at any time
from May until August, with fairly
good results.
The earlier sowings do not usually
yield as many bushels per aero as tho
late ones, but tho seed is usually bet
ter matured and weighs heavier.
Alfalfa and Sweet Clover,
Where It Is difficult to obtain ni
stand of alfalfa It Is qulto possible
sowing sweet clover a year or twe bo
foro seeding to alfalfa would provo
advantageous. Sweet clover will In
oculate the soil and put It Into good
condition for seeding alfalfa.

Tho lessons for tho pant quarter bo- j
gin with the dclivernncn of the child i
Moses and end with the apostasy of1
the golden calf nnd cover a period
of approximately 80 years. In almost
very lesson thero Is something pro
phetic or typlral of Christ, but two
'things may be mentioned with special '
etnphusis, viz., tho passover. lesson VI, l

For the younger classes a most fas-1
clnatlng story ciui be told when pre-1
eentlng this review. Describe Miriam l
watching the ark, Pharaoh's daughter i
espying the ark, sending the bubo to
Its mother and Inter adopting it an I
her son. Tell of the day when Moses .
made his great choice, of the time he I
thought he could frco his brethren,
but failed, not yet having tho neces.
sary power from God. Then tho 40
years bb a shepherd (John 10:14), the
revelation at Ilorcb, the conflict at
Pharaoh's court, tho passover, nnd tin
flight by night, the crossing of thn
Red een, tho gift of tho qunlls and
the manna und thnt dramatic scene of
the giving of tho law. Knough Is here
presented to moro than occupy the
lcsBon period.
Four Episodes.
For tho older classes. Tho lessons
of this quarter seem to group them
selves Into four general episodes:
(1) Moses, his salvation, education,
flight and call; (2) Pharaoh, his pride,
humiliation and the passover; (3) thn
flight, at the lied sea, being fed in tho I
wilderness, nnd (4) tho law, God's I
holiness, his commandments nnd tho
great apostasy. '
Tho following bilnf review Is sug
gested: Havo one class member tell
of the Bteps leading up to the Israellt
ish slavery In Egypt. Let nnothor pu
pll present either orally or written, nti
account of tho life of Mobcs up tc
tho time of his appearing before Pha
raoh with his apparently audaclout
request, "Let my people go." Let thai
student not only recito tho historical
.facts but also show God's dealing
with this son of nn obscuro slave. He
nlght Illustrate by alluding to othen
whom God has raised up to "do ex
ploits" In his dealings with men, Dan
lei 11:32. This will cover four les
sons. Another pupil should then pro
sent m concisely no poselblo that re
markable conflict which God, through
nil representative Moses, worked out
with rhoraoh. This whole episode 1
waa treated as lesson V, the text be
ing Ps. 105:23-36, and In leRson VI
the record of tho passover. This lat
ter, tho "great feast of tho Jows nnd
Christ who Is our passover ought to
be carefully nnd yet emphatically pre
eented. Let us not neglect to present
tho Bible teaching on this, one of the
greatest truths over revealed to man

Coming now to the last great epl.
sodo of this quarter, the events In con
nection with the giving of the law,
we embrace lessons IX, X, XI and XII.
Before God gave them tho various
commandments ho Bought to empha
size his majesty and his holiness by
the smoking mountain, etc. We then
have two lessons on the decalogue, a
most fitting arrangement Inasmuch as
tho first part deals with tho God-side
of life man'B relation to his creator
and tho second part baa to do with
man'B relations to his brother man.
The last lesson is a terrible Illustra
tion of this dual fact The utter Ina
bility of the natural heart to fulfill Ita
high Bounding promises, Its exceeding
Binfulncss and the necessity of right
relations with him who alone can keep
It pure is, It seems to us, tho Impor
tant lesson-of tho Betting up of the
golden calf.
Tho two reading lessons glvo us the
true light of tho divine patience and
the dtvino persistence.
Tho golden text Is also 'an epitomv
of the spirit of these lessono.
