American  wool,  to  be  associated  in  in¬ 
terest  with  our  soil  owners  instead  of 
with  foreign  junkmen  who  gather  the 
rags  discarded  by  paupers.  It  would  be 
quite  a  let-up  to  a  dairyman  who  must 
buy  cargoes  of  meals,  on  which  innum¬ 
erable  men  have  had  profits,  to  have 
some  animals  that  would  work  for  their 
own  feed  most  of  the  year,  and  if  one  of 
them  awakened  tired,  say  on  the  early 
morning  of  the  Sabbath,  and  the  help  had 
not  shown  up  from  the  previous  night, 
what  solid  comfort  it  would  be  to  think 
the  sheep  were  eating  grass,  and  what 
satisfaction  to  turn  over  and  drop  off  to 
sleep  again !  w.  w.  Reynolds.

Bringing  Up  Colt  on  Bottle 
My  mare — eight  years  old — gave  birth 
to  a  cult  day  before  yesterday.  It  had  no 
milk  and  would  not  let  the  colt  suck.  We 
milked  the  mare  yesterday  but  got  in  two 
milkings  not  more  than  a  little  over  a 
pint  of  milk.  We  will,  of  course,  con¬ 
tinue  to  milk  the  marc  and.  at  the  same 
time,  try  to  make  her  take  the  colt.  The 
mare  is  in  very  good  condition. 
Could  you  recommend  method  of  bring¬ 
ing  up  colts  on  the  bottle?  w.  w. 
Maryland. 
In  case  a  mare  dies  or  has  no  milk  the 
foal  may  he  raised  on  cows’  milk,  if  the 
attendant  conducts  the  work  patiently 
and  intelligently  Choose  the  milk  of  a 
cow  that  has  recently  calved,  preferably 
one  which  gives  milk  Tow  in  butter-fat,  for 
mares’  milk  while  rich  in  sugar,  is  poor 
in  fat.  Sweeten  the  milk  with  molasses 
or  sugar  and  dilute  with  warm  water. 
Give  a  little  of  this  prepared  milk  at 
short  intervals  from  a  scalded  nursing 
bottle  and  large  rubber  nipple.  Be  care¬ 
ful  to  keep  the  bottle  and  nipple  scrupu¬ 
lously  clean.  Add  an  ouuee  of  lime  water 
to  each  pint  of  the  prepared  milk  and 
allow  half  a  cupful  once  an  hour  as  first. 
As  the  foal  grows,  gradually  increase 
the  amount  of  milk  fed  and  lengthen  the 
intervals  between  meals.  In  a  few  days 
food  may  he  given  six  times  a  day  and, 
later,  four  times  daily.  The  foal  will 
soon  learn  to  drink  from  a  pail,  if  allowed 
to  suck  the  attendant's  fingers  at,  first. 
Until  the  bowels  move  freely,  give  rec¬ 
tal  injections  night  and  morning.  If  the 
foal  scours  at  any  time  give  two  to  four 
tahlespoonfuls  of  a  mixture  of  sweet  oil 
and  pure  castor  oil  shaken  up  in  milk, 
and  stop  feeding  milk  for  two  or  three 
meals,  allowing  sweetened  warm  water 
and  lime  water  instead.  Let  the  foal  lick 
oatmeal  as  soon  as  it  will  eat  and  grad¬ 
ually  increase  the  amount  and  add  wheat 
bran.  In  five  or  six  weeks  some  sweet, 
skim-milk  may  be  given  and  the  amount 
gradually  increased  daily  until,  in  three 
months  or  so,  it  may  be  given  freely  three 
times  a  day  in  place  of  new  milk.  The 
foal  at  this  age  also  will  be  eating  freely 
of  grass,  grain  and  bran. 
At  all  times  supply  pure  cold  drinking 
water.  Let  the  foal  run  out  in  a  lot  or 
grass  paddock  for  exercise.  Accustom  it 
to  be  handled  daily.  Feed  small  quan¬ 
tities  of  nutritious  food  often,  keeping  all 
feeding  utensils  clean,  and  the.  foal  should 
thrive  and  develop  well.  Remember  that 
a  colt  should  at  all  times  bo  adequately 
fed  so  as  to  develop  it  perfectly.  Practi¬ 
cally  half  of  the  full  weight  of  a  horse  is 
gained  during  the  first  12  months  of  its 
life.  If  stunted  during  this  period  the 
colt  never  develops  properly;  it  therefore 
pays  to  feed  generously.  A.  s.  A. 
Handling  the  Brood  Sow 
Pigs  will  always  do  best  on  pasture 
supplemented  with  grain.  When  we  do 
not  have  pasture  we  feed  pigs  Alfalfa  hay 
in  racks  as  much  as  they  want.  During 
gestation — until  about  three  days  before 
and  after  farrowing — we  food  a  mixture 
of  400  pounds  cornmeal,  300  pounds 
middlings,  50  pounds  ground  oats.  50 
pounds  tankage,  50  pounds  bran.  50 
pounds  oilmeal,  10  pounds  bonemeal  and 
10  pounds  salt.  We  feed  skim-milk  and 
garbage  when  we  have  it.  At  fan-ow¬ 
ing  time  we  feed  a  mixture  of  100  lbs. 
bran,  100  lbs.  ground  oats,  100  lbs.  mid¬ 
dlings,  25  lbs.  oilmeal  and  25  lbs.  tank¬ 
C/><?  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
age.  On  farrowing  day  we  give  a  warm 
bran  mash  with  a  handful  of  oil  meal  in 
it.  We  nip  ofi'  the  eight  long  teeth  in  the 
little  pigs  the  day  they  are  born.  We  do 
not  feed  much  bran,  except  at  fan-owing 
time,  and  do  not  recommend  it  as  a  pig 
feed  in  quantity. 
Little  pigs  should  have  all  opportunity 
for  running  out  for  exercise  at  all  times 
they  wish.  When  the  little  pigs  are  10 
days  old  wo  put  four  sows  iu  a  one-half- 
acre  pasture  lot  in  two  A-shnped  colony 
houses,  and  give  them  tankage,  corn  anil 
middlings  in  a  self-feeder.  Charcoal,  salt 
and  wood  ashes  also  as  a  conditioner.

The  following  is  given  by  the  Colorado 
Experiment  Station : 
Table  for  showing  relationship  between 
the  radius  and  the  height  of  a  silo  per  ton 
capacity  of  silage. 
Note:  One  cu.  ft.  of  silage  weighs  ap¬ 
proximately  40  lbs.

For  example:  Suppose  a  silo  with  a 
7-foot  inside  radius  contained  silage  to  a 
depth  of  10  feet,  or  120  inches.  It  would 
contain  120-:— 1,  or  30  tons  of  silage.

Soy  Beans  for  Fodder 
The  Connection!  Experiment  Station 
urges  farmers  iu  that  State  and  through 
New  England  to  grow  Soy  beans  as  a 
fodder  crop.  They  have  demonstrated 
the  value  of  this  plant,  especially  when 
mixed  with  corn  in  the  silo.  They  advise 
the  following  varieties:  Ilollybrook,  Me¬ 
dium  Green,  and  Ito  San.  These  yield 
well,  the  seed  is  not  expensive  and  they 
are  well  suited  to  the  climate.  The  Soy 
beaus  may  he  grown  separately  and 
mixed  with  the  corn  at  the  cutter,  or  the 
two  seeds  may  be  grown  together.  In 
the  latter  case  one  part  of  So.v  bonus  by 
measure  will  be  mixed  with  three  parts 
of  corn,  and  dropped  out  of  the  corn 
planter  in  this  proportion.  It  is  better 
to  sow  the  two  seeds  together  rather 
than  to  wait  until  the  corn  is  up  and 
then  drop  the  Soy  beans.  If.  is  better 
to  use  lime  with  them,  although  they 
will  grow  fairly  well  without  it.  Inocula¬ 
tion  is  needed  when  the  Soy  beans  are 
grown  for  the  first  time,  hut  after  the 
crop  is  grown  two  years  in  succession  no 
further  inoculation  will  he  needed.

New  Jersey  Dairy  Law 
The  New  Jersey  Legislature  has 
passed  a  new  law  covering  the  weighing, 
testing  and  purchase  of  milk  and  cream, 
under  which  all  glassware  used  in  test¬ 
ing  milk  on  a  hutterfnt  basis  must  he  in¬ 
spected  and  approved  by  the  State  Kx- 
periment  Station.  Anyone  making  such 
tests  must  first  pass  an  examination  and 
secure  11  license  from  the  State  Kxperi- 
ment  Station,  and  this  license  may  be  re¬ 
voked  in  cases  of  incorapetency  or  vio¬ 
lation  of  the  law.  Fraudulent,  tests  or 
weights  are  prohibited.  The  L’xperiment 
Station  has  the  power  to  inspect  prem¬ 
ises.  books  and  records  where  cream  is 
purchased  on  a  butterfnt  basis,  and  may 
also  inspect  composite  samples  of  milk 
or  cream,  which  are  to  he  kept,  for  at 
least  10  days.  Fines  of  $100  for  the 
first  offense  and  $200  fo  reach  subse¬
