The horse market calls for greater
age thau formerly. A few years sinoe
our draft colts were largely sold at
three years old; now, in oommon with
roadsters, there is little call for them
younger than five years old, and the
best markets require six years. From
three yeurs old until sold they should
"work for their board" npon and
around the farm. This oan easily be
accomplished with the draft oolt, but
the production of a salable carriage
horse oalls for finer work than is fur
nished upon many forma. If a high
priced horse is produced it will be the
result of cureful handling and good
driving, for this horse must be good
mannered and kindly disposed as well
as attractive. The very nature of the
oouditiuns and surrouudiugs requisite
to the production of first-olass car
riage horses will long stand in the way
of au over-supply. This is a oharmed
oirole within which not all should seek
to enter. This position is taken by a
noted breeder nnd it is correct.

Corn aud (lob Meal vs. Cornmeal.
The question is often asked as to
which is tne more valuable food, oorn
and cob ground together or cornmeal
alone. Considerable experimental
feeding has been oonduoted to throw
light on this question, and very gen
erally, says Indiana Corn Culture, the
information secured favors the grind
ing of the oorn and oob together. It is
assumed that the pure meal packs in
tbe digestive organs and is not so read
ily peamuuted by the digestive fluids as
iu the oorn and oob meal, the cob mak
ing the mass more porous. .
At the Maine Eexperiment station
Jordan fed two lots of pigs eighty-one
days, one receiving corn and oob meal,
the other pure meal. . There was" but
little difference in tbe gain made by
each lor. Shelton at the Kansas sta
tion fouii.l that it required 650 pounds
of corn uud oob meal to make 100
pounds of gain when fed to pigs, while
it required 070 pounds of pure meal to
make an equal gain. In a steer-feeding
experiment Professor Shelton also
secured results favorable to the use of
the oob with the oorn.
Management of Manure.
Unless very careful provision is made
for conserving the fertility in farm
manures, it is far better under ordin
ary oironmstanoes to draw them direct
ly from the stables during winter on
pastures, meadows or fields which will
be devoted to oorn the coming year.

ores, but a good rule to keep in mind
is to spread thinly and evenly on the
surface in the fall and early winter
where plants are growing. This is
nature's method of utilizing her waste
vegetable products. It is seldom a
good plan to plow manure under Imme
diately after it is spread. That which
is put upon the fields in the fall will
have largely lost its fertilizing constit
uents by spring. They will then be
found in the soil or stored up in plant
roots ready for the coming season. It
will do them no harm to plow under
the corpse, sinoe the spirit has largely
departed. Sinoe all the manure oannot
be applied iu the best possible manner
on account of season and oonditious,
it is well to preserve as far as possible
that made in the latter part of the win
ter and spring until September, when
it will be fairly fine. It can then be
spread on the fresh plowed land and
harrowed in preparatory to seeding to
wheat or rye, or it may be sproad evenly
over grass lands, ,

of the butter, especially if given iu
large quantities. I speak of it as a
substitute for cornmeaL There is no
substitute for fide ground corn-meal,
not crushed, but flour of corn. The
energy of oows must be turned to milk
production and not to oorn-frinding,
nor to carrying two pounds of corn to
digest one with its interference with
digestion. We cannot afford to grind
80 cent corn for steers, but for cows
we can. Oats will not give the color
to the butter that oorn will, while the
oil meals give a less desirable color and
poorer texture. A small amount of
cotton-seed meal is favorable to quan
tity if a lugre amount of oorn fodder is
giveuy and in small amounts not cen
surable. Two to three pounds a day is
all that I would desire, while . ten
