u uit of »roi’-
crowd'nfr and t E e w B r u ?tlon of
sources of water supply, says The Na
tional Stockman. A drought of any
length 'wings about a w ter famine
which la even more distressing than n
scarcity of forage. The foreit reserves,
the natural sources of water, have been
destroyed, the pastures have been over-
taxed and thinned out. And now cat-
tie are being shipped out <w lost be-
cause range privileges have been thus
abused. If official reports are to be
trusted, ranges, troth nortHem and
southern, are not capable of supporting
the amount of stock they did years ago
because of continued close pasturing.
The system which makes It necessary
for every man to get all he can from
the range without regard to Its future
usefulness is radically wrong and must
end In disaster to those who depend on
these pastures.

As sood us the colt Is-bridled aad bit
ted the surcingle shouW be strapped
lightly round him. Tbs preaker should
avoid drawing suddenly;-it first, or the
pressure may startle lfm and cause
! him to kick and throw li,mu. if down.

be sure that all tlte loose hair is
through the loop. Notllug will uiske a
colt kick sooner than ,y leaving some
of the nalr at the root of the tall out
side the crupper, for when the pressure
comes upon It It will alp his dock and
Induce him to kick ard throw himself
about In all dlrecttoia. The crupper
should be fixed to the turclngle, taking
care not to draw It to* tightly. After
this the breaker shoulc take the end of
the halter, which shouH always be left
on the head of the colt beneath the bri
dle, and bring It tliroigb between bla
fore legs and tie It list too tightly to
the surcingle. After a little practice In
this manner the side reins should be
placed upon him very loosely, the near
rein being fixed to thi off ring of the
surcingle, and vice versa
It Is a good plan to turn the colt Into
a large open court, wheif he cannot get
fast In any way, and allow him to
roam about of his ow n accord. In this
way he will soon lieglt to champ and
work the bit, and the uore he works It
his mouth will be the more evenly
made. The bit should le slightly bent,
with three small keys tuspended from
the center. The bend In the bit pre
vents the colt making bis mouth un
equal, as It Is linpos8ltle for him to
pull entirely on one slie of It, while
the loose action of the k*ys Induces him
to work the bit more fr*ely. The keys
should not be too loug, or they will
come between Ills fruit teeth, which
may give him a bad habit of tossing up
his head In future.
Some colts arc Inclined to sulk on th«
bit at first, but In time ttiey will gener
ally work It quite freely. The break

high altitudes. Some of them are too
rare and others too small to be of
much value for forage, but the ma
jority are valuable, and four or five
are of sufficient Importance to warrant
careful experimentation as to their pos
sible use as cultivated crops. From
their appearance and thrtftlness under
natural conditions or In Irrigated na
tive meadows It would certainly seem
probable that several of them would
prove of great value for cultivation,
especially In the higher altitudes,
where alfalfa and the common clovers
canuot be successfully grown.
Mountain' red clover Is one of the
most robust growing native sorts
found In the Rocky mountain region.
The flower heads are large and showy,
and the leaves are composed of from
flve to seven leaflets Instead of three,
as Is the case with the other clovers
of the region. It produces stout, deep
growing roots and lias ninny other
qualities commending It to the atten
tion of the experimenter. It Is most
widely distributed on the west side of
the continental divide.—T. A. Williams.

them they collect from the surface of
the land near hy. Teeth also of field

one-half an Inch deep, let the birds get
quite hungry, and then the first thing
In the morning I scattered wheat all
over llic loft floor. This soon got them
to digging over the sand with their
bills. I let them exercise about an
hour In this way and then let them out
In the aviary, where I kept water anil
fhe necessary grit. In the evening I
gave them a fair meal In the aviary,
but not all they would eat. At first
they would get Into the loft as soon as
possible after being fed, and I put a
stop to tills by dosing the loft. This
got them to exercising trying to get In,
and In a few days they commenced
fighting for a place on the drop hoards
while »he loft was dosed. This was
Indeed evidence of new life. After
about ten days I gave them entire lib
erty by keeping them hungry, and I
soon got them accustomed to get their
feed on the ground quite a distance
from tlie loft and their wnter In the op
posite direction ns far from loft. In
this way I got them to exercise consid
erable anil soon commenced to Increase
their feed gradually, until at last gave
them a full meal at night, aud soon
“pouter* commenced to point and fana
to fan,” ete. I got them through molt
nicely snd the next season bred a lot of
fine healthy young from them. I do
not wish to leave th* Impression that
this I* the only way to bring bird* up
to condition, hut consider this way
easy snd simple for birds that are run
down on aceonnt of overfeeding aad
