Tbe aurplua bom, which lias a buggy appearance, la ao much wobte material, and any aurplua that can be bred Into a bog should go Into quullty.

Quantity of Silage For a Cow. ' A cow weighing 1,000 pounds will cotiHiitue on an average about thirty pounds of corn silage daily. Fifteen pounds may be fed In the morning and fifteen pounds in tbe evening. Tbe al lowance uiny be Increased or decreased In proportion to the cow's weight and Individual needs. Some cows weighing ii thousand pounds require more silage than others of the same weight. It is well to feed regularly, and It doe not make much difference when tb cow are fed provided they are fed regular ly. As n rule, we believe It better to feed tillage Immediately after milking In tho morning rather than before. If care la not exercised there la some dan ger of the silage tainting tbe milk when fed ot the time of milking. Hoard's Dairyman. ,,,,1' 8el.ctina Fjsdsr Stsera. While the butcher dealrea fineness of bene and high quality tn all parts so that there shall be little waste on the block. It Is not desirable to have thlB go to extremes. A steer with too much refinement as indlcnted by a light bone and frail head and a small paunch, will not be able to stand the strain of heavy feeding and then fln Ish out with the great weight that is desired. No one point la considered more Important In selecting feeder steers than the width and straight uess of tbe hack, with the accompany ing well sprung rib. It la an Index to the feeding quality and points to th ability to put on meat tn tbe cxpen slve cats. i ' The Globe gives all the news. THE COLT IN WINTER. drawing Animals Need a Ration f Grain and Warm Stalls. During tb cold winter day lb colt need wmie grain to keep blm growing and In good flesh. Tb older borne tuny get through fairly well on rougb dge. but tbey are not developing boue aud muscl Ilk tli colt. Then tbey are larger and naturally bar more beat In tbelr bodies. Tb groin given tbe colt should b ground so that be can thor oughly maalicat it apd get all tbe nourishment It contains. He should b fed lu good, tight troughs so that be will be certain to get all of It Also b needa to be abut away from older animal while eating so they will not ateal bis dally ration. Oat and corn ground together make a splendid feed. One-fourth out aad three-fourths corn I about tb proper proportion for win ter feed. Then tb colt abould bar good (bel ter from tb storms. Tb old borne may aland tbe aleet and enow and rntus and biting winds, but tbe colt will soon become pinched, and be needs a good warm stall where be will be protected from the furious weather. Keep blm well boused and be will need less feed aud come through tbe winter looking better than If left exposed to the storms. A box atall H by 14 feet will accommodate three or four colta If tbey are kind to each other. This should be located on tbe south aide of th barn If possible and ahould be fit ted up wltb manger and feed boxes. Tbe colta should be fed plenty of bay. and if it la clover or alfalfa so much tb better. During tho warm, sunny days they may be allowed to run out In tbe pastures or lets. This gives tbem plenty of exercise, and tbey will keep tbe more healthy. It la a good plan to watch tho colt's feet and keep tbem trl mated. Allowed to grow long, there may be a split hoof or a deformed ankle. If the colt gets lousy rub some coal oil and lard down bis backbone, and if worms bother blm feed a teaspoonful of finely ground to bacco In bis feed twice each week. While, according to tbla plan. It Is a little more expensive to take a colt through the winter than would be tbe case where the little fellow 1 all. wed to rough It. yet in tbe end there la economy in good care. Tbla applies particularly In tbe case of draft colta. where weight at maturity la a most Important factor. Treatment For Ringbona. la many cases treatment for ring bone starting on bind pastern of a clt's leg la not necessary. If lame ness la absent It la usual to leave such case to mature, aaya A. 8. Alexander in the Farm and Hreslde. Sometime tbe "bunch" Is reabsorbed. More com monly it goes on growing, and lame ness comes on wben the horse Is work ed bard on hard roads or even without the hard road Influence. If you pre fer to try Inducing reabsorptlon of tbe growth (exostosis) clip off the balr and blister at least once a month by rub bing in a little of a mixture of one dram of biniodlde ot mercury and two ounce of cerate of cantharides. The cerate keeps Indefinitely, but the Iodide of mercury should be rubbed up with the cerate Just before rise. Rub th blister in for fifteen minutes. Tie the colt up abort so that be cannot lie down or bite the blistered part. Rub lard on the part tn three days and then apply a little lard once a day. For a ringbone that causes lameness It la best to have the part puncture tired and blistered by a veterinarian and then give six weeks of rest In the stall. Tbe results will pay for the ex pense. C.us. of Mottled Butter. Mottled butter may be due to several causes. If tbe cream la not strained Into tbe churn there are likely to be large specks of curd tn tbe butter, as the curd will not tnko up the coloring matter used for coloring the butter. Tbe most common cause of mottled butter la the Improper mixing of salt and tbe preaeoce of too much butter milk. Wben care is taken to thor oughly wash out all buttermilk and to mix the anlt eveuly throughout the butter there la very little danger of producing mottled butter. Remedy For 8eour In Horses. Tbe feeding of carrots sometimes checks tendency to scouring. If that does not prove helpful mix a pint of browned wheat flour with each feed. and if that does not suffice gtve twice dally a tablespoonful of a mixture of one part each of powdered alum, sub- olrrnte of bismuth, powdered catechu, powdered ginger root and two parts powdered wood charcoal. Hog Troughs. Tbe question Is often asked, "What Is the beat style ot bog trough?" writes O. r. Williams In tbe National Stock man. We use troughs made of Inch oak boards. Bottom boards are eight Inches wide, with edges slightly bev eled so as to make the width at top about ten inches. Tbe Bides should be of six inch boards natled to the beveled edge of tbe bottom board. End boards abould be two Inches longer at each side than the width of tbe trough to prevent splitting when nailed on. Thir ty Inch lengths for Biugle hog, three feet for two or three bogs and twetve feet for general use make good stand ard lengths. Wider bottoms are likely to warp and split. Shallower troughs waste teed. Deeper troughs Invite tbe bogs to put tblr feet Into the trough while drink li& No slats Bbould be used, as they prevent easy cleaning. , HORSE SUGGESTIONS.
