DEVLIN, Barrie Dealer DON'T "BREAK" COLTS It Always Pays Better to Train Them for Work, TRAIN EARLY TO HARNESS The Collar Must Fit Well and the Food Be Light at First -- Feed ~Must Be Increased In Proportion to Work Done. (Contributed by Ontario Departmen of Agriculture, Toronto.) HERE ARE MANY colts ap- proaching the termination of their third or fourth year, tbat are practically untaught, or as it is usually -xpressed "yp- broken." The too'common practice of allow- ing such to go "unbroken" until such time as they ure required to perform the functions of a horse in the spring, is Irrational, and unfair to the animal. Colts should not be "broken," they should be taught or educated. In the unbanded or unbroken colt, the mus- cular, respiratory and nervous system (the orgaas whose functions are ta -d {n the performance of the ord!- nary functions of a borse) are weak and undeveloped from lack of func- | tion. Hence a regular course of pre- paration during the late winter and early spring months, when the time of both man and horse Is not very valuable, should be g'ven In order to have the colts In such condition when time becomes valuable that they will be able to perform a reasonable | Amount of work with satisfaction to the driver and safety to themselves.

Hotbeds should be made and the seed of tbe early plants like cabbage, caulifiower, early celery, early beets, and the long season Plants like tomatoes, egg plants and peppers should be started. Many of these seeds for small gardening work may be started inside which will re- Heve the necessity of making hotbeds until the first part of nest month. Manure for top dressing the ground | may be hauled out the latter part «f | this month. Hints For the Poultryman. The fock. should be given the op- portunity to get out of doors and er- ercise on fine days. Begin to make preparation for hatching. Clean up the incubators and brooders, get boxes ready for setting hens. Do not set bens in the laying pens where ether birds are running. If you want te raise more than 150 chickens con- der the use of a good incubator and brooder. Usually chickens of the gemeral purpose breeds hatched @uring the last week of March make the best winter layers, Where using hens for hatching dust them well with pome good insect powder before set- ting, and about two weeks later. Care of the Freshening Cow. This is the month when a large number of cows freshen. Both freso cows and newly-born calves should weceive special attention. Cows 2x- pected to freshen should be placed in a box stall for a 'ew days before and after freshening. Many valuable cows and calves are lost by neglecting to provide box stall accommodation. This should be found in every dairy stable; ar else have a special barn for the purpose. A few hours "sun- shine bath" each week will make far more héalthful stock and improve the dairying. Feeding the Ewe, On many farms lambs will begin to arrive about this time. If ewes have been liberally fed for a montir before Iambihg they will likely bave wore milk, From % to 1 !b. of grain fed per ewe per day for a month before lambing js generally good practice, especially If ewes are somewhat thin.

Let us aay it again, the Pucket stands ready to help any good cause, But where entertainments or gatherings of any kind are held with the object of ruiing money, either by entrance fees or by collections, it is our rule that the ad- vertising must be paid for. On reflection we think that the reasonableness of this will be uppurent. Advertising is whut a newspaper hax to sell, just as a merchant ells wool, or & grocer tea, or a baker bread. People do not expect the merchants to give their goods free, without stint or discrimins tion. If there are purchases to be made in connection with an entertainment, they are paid for in the usual way, And it iv un- rewonuble to expect the newspapers to con- tribute to every church, Red Cross Society, patriotic collection, lodge und charity with- in twenty miles, 'The publishers have to do their part in their own churches, societies, etc,, the same as others.

'You good s 4 y eee get notices of public meetings at which there is no fee charged for admission, though many newspapers charge for such notices, and logically there is no reason why' they should not be paid for, We cannot, how- ever, insert notices of one meeting in half a dozen places in the paper; nor expatiate and extend "hearty welcomes." That is not news, but advertising, and ix worth ten cents a line, We hope that this paragraph will save uy the necessity of constant per- sonsl explanations for some time to come, and that where notices of money-making gutherings ure sent in, the name of the person to whom, the bill is to be sent will accompany them. Those Wise City Chaps ---The city papers are full of sdvice these days to the tillers of the soil, and many hints are thrown out by the arm-chair farm- ers that no practical farmer could adopt. but it remained for the agricultural expert on the Toronto Telegram to rise to the supreme occasion and suggest that owing to the increased price of honey that every farmer should keep a bee, shoes, pitch-forks, feed-bins, etc. ete in itself.
