A. OSTRANDER, South Dakota State Collf.) A fanner In Spink county, South Da kota, wa ahown last spring that be should get hla horse work done cheap er In order to ninke his fnrm pay bet ter. So he sold two gelding, aged seven yeara old, for 1450, and bought two marea of about tb same age and quality for which raised two colts. On analysing his business, we found that bla hurs work cost hi in practically nothing for 1010. The colts paid the bill. This fact la convincing bis neighbors that there la something la tb finer points of farm manage ment GOOD AND INFERIOR HORSES Careful Consideration 8hould Be Qlven to Sir at Present Time Differ nc In prle. i Thers has never been s time wben tba sires to which marea are to be bred ahould be more carefully con sidered than the present year.

During the last year those horses and mules which were good enough to do some Job well hove found ready sale, while others have been a drug on the market, and have lost money for tb men who produced them. PROPER EXERCISE FOR BULL Keep Him In Separate Paddock Where Ho Will Always Be Under Con trot, la 8afe Plan. When you have made your pur chase of s good baby beef sire, don't keep blm Bhut up without exercise, and by all means do not underfeed blm. More bulla are spoiled by un derfeeding and lack of exercise than by overfeeding, but In seeking to have your bull get plenty of exercise don't let him run with the cows. Keep him In s separate paddock where you will always have hltn under proper control. It's the safe and the economical plan to follow.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF COLT Practical Suggestions for Feeding and Car During larly Life Mew ' to Promote Qrewth. (From the United states Department ef ' Agriculture.) Colts shaala be honaad In Ar sunt- consequently efforts should be mads to keep them down. Tbe foals should be out In the open every day that Is not stormy; It Is harmful, however, for them to remain out In a cold rain. The foal ahould be taught to lead and to stand tied during the first winter. Feeds that will promote growth uuer. ixwuei icuuiu esnei to ; the ration such a method of feeding Btfalfa wouU, offaet ukellhood of kl(,Dey or i sbea, Mtt can be Qsed t0 adTantage to sup- element other roughage. The animals ahould not be allowed to rorre them selves on dry feed. They should be given only what they will clean up readily, but at the same time enough feed should be supplied. Oats, corn, " Pea. Preferably fed ground, are ul,bI "-"j SSlEXi b, M ,0 Approprtate I : , , I -i I " ' Bred at a Government ! ! eV Remount Station. j Hons for the first winter are: Two parts corn, five parts oats, three parte . bran, and on part oil meal; or four parts oats, one part corn, snd on part bran.

Grass Is an Indispensable fac- tor In the economical and proper phys iological development of young horses. During the second winter the feed and management should be nearly the same as for the first 'winter, except that the quantity of feed should be Increased somewhat, the colt tied up ln his stall, and handled frequently. Education by gentle and careful but firm handling at this age will save later much strenuous labor. The succeeding years are largely a repetition of those already discussed eo far as .feed and management are concerned, although the quantity of feed must be gradually Increased as the animal grows. The prime general esEientials for the proper develop ment of horses from the yearling stage, until they are put to work are: Fresh air, pure water, plenty of exercise, nutritious, palatable feed In sufficient Quantity, and sheltei from storms. 4 FOR SALE THE John MaUson Place of 203 acre well Improved; 94 acre smder tbe ditch, all fenced, two well of good water Ix miles to town.
