Only by Keeping ldlidtial Milk Record* Can the Daiiynaan Weed Out All Hia UnproHUble Coa Monthly Milk Record Sheets An Furnished Free. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) Til! 1 ; erosion of hillsides aud the flooding of the land be- low by the eroded material has long been a worry and an economical loss to many farmers In hilly and mountainous sections. This can frequently be prevented, and the method employed depends on the conditions existing, sunh as the nature of tho soil; light or hoary, the steepness of the slope, and the type of agriculture practiced; pasture or tilled crops. U'-et hillsides used as sheep pas- tures may be much Improved by what are sometimes called "sheep-drain^." These are merely shallow open dlUhea about 30 inches wide on top, nine inches wide OB the bottom, and 16 inches deep for removing the sur- face water, and carry It in a defi- nite channel to a suitable outlet at the baae of the hill. The removed earth should be thrown out on the lower aide to form a sort of em- bankment to tbe drain. The grade of the ditch should not bo au steep aa to give the water sufficient fore* to destroy the drain by either wash- ing away the banks or digging the drain, itself deeper and thus making U dangerous lor the sheep and lamba. Sub-drains are sometimes necessary. A system of terracing is quite universally used to prerent destruc- tive washouts on hillsides. The ter- races are made perfectly level and of any width and then carefully seed- ed to grass. At the time of rain the water spreads out evenly over the surface of these and then flows gent- ly over the slope below without suffi- cient force to wash away any portion of the hill and thus prevent* "gulleying." For the drainage of tilled hillsides a system of under-drainage is some- times used successfully. The amount of erosion of the land largely de- pends ou its condition. If the sur- face soil can be kept firm the erosion will b lessened. Soft spots on the hillside, though, frequently occur aa a result of seepage water from above which has penetrated the surface soil and reached an impervious lav r a.jni thus deflated to the surface on the side of the hill. Water flowing over this with considerable force will naturally wash It away more easily . nn I'M- firmer soil free from this Hi;iK< water. if tile drains are so laid to inter- cept this seepage water, considerable ei ...-nil in can oe prevented. If tbe hill- Bldo is comparatively steep, drains laid at an angle to the incline will be more satisfactory. They will natural- ly Intercept all of the water flowing through the eoil above them. Also the grade will he less and the drain* are not so liable lu be affected by the water moving .-,;..!,:. through them. If the slope Is not >..-.> steep the drains may be laid down the incline with satisfactory results. Here the tile drains tbe land on both sides and no double draining results. In this underdrainage thu general benefits are again obtained. Tho water level is lowered, thus giving more root capacity to plants nnd tho prevention of surface washing by allowing tho water to ponetratu through the soil lo Hie draiiiH, thus carrying much plant food tu thu roots of tho plants.

A Sodden Chance of Diet Not Good for the Young Colt Wean Him Gradually General Hints on Rationing and Handling. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) THE age at which foals should be weaned is to a great de- gree governed by circum- s lances. Under ordinary uondltions it is well to allow the mare to nurse her foal for four months or longer. If, when the foal is this age, the mare is required to do regular work, both will do better if the foal be weaned. On the other hand, if the mare be in fair condi- tion, not required for regular work, and still yielding a reasonable quan- tity of milk, the foal will do better if not weaned for a month or two longer, aud the dam, having no labor to perform, will not suffer. The ordinary process of weaning, which consists in separating mare and foal, and allowing no further In- tercourse for .several weeks, or until the mare has ceased to secrete milk, and the foal to look for it, is in our opinion, irrational, wasteful and un- called for. It IB probably unnecessary to state that the colt should be taught to eat chopped or rolled oats, bran, etc.; before the process of weaning com- mence*, otherwise he will surely suf- fer and grow thin. Experience has taught all breeders and feeders of stock that sudden or -violent changes of diet or usage with any class of stock is dangerous, and often expen- sive. When this Is the case with adult animals, it is reasonable to ex- pect it to be more marked in the young. Hence, in order to avoid dan- ger of digestive diseases in the young, and trouble with the mammary glands, and possibly digestive trou- ble also, in the dam, we should exer- cise good judgement, and be satisfied to take considerable trouble when weaning the colt. In most cases the mammary ap- paratus is still quite active, and a considerable quantity of milk is be- ing secreted when the owner decides that it Is time to "wean the colt." The colt, in addition to the grass and grain that It has been consuming, has thus far been accustomed to milk alao. In fact, milk has been his principal diet, and. If suddenly de- prived of It he cannot avoid fretting, and failing In condition. Then again, the seeretlon of milk in the mare will not cease all at once, and, unless the glands be relieved of it, mam- mitis will be the result. Instead of milking the mare by hand, and, of course, making no use of it, as is i-n.ihy done, the colt should get the benefit. Our idea of the proper method of weaning is as follows: When it is decided that the rolt shall bo weaned, he should be placed In a comfortable box stall, by himself, or with other colts that are being wean- ed. There should be no mangers or boxcj into which he can rear or jump, and probably liijuro himself, and the door and walls should be so high that he cannot jump over them or get his fore feet over. The diim should be tied, in a stall, or better, If con- venient, kept In a box stall, not neces- aarlly far removed from her foul. In fact, the writer has made a practice of having the stalls adjoining, so that the dam and foul can see and hear each other, but cannot get to- gether. Whether or not the mare be required for work, she should bo taken to the colt's stall, or better, the colt lead to tho dam's stall, and allowed to remain for 15 to 20 min- utes three times daily for a week or longer. Leading the colt to the dam's stall, Is a good system of giving him his in -.1 lessons in training for future usefulness. During the second week, twice daily will be sufficient to leave them together, and nftur this once daily, gradually shortening the length of the visit until the mammal becomes practically inactive. In this way each gradually becomes accus- tomed to be separated from the othor. The change of diet for the colt is gradual, and he receives the bene- fit of the milk that otherwise would bo wasted. It also largely obviates danger of mammltis in the mare, and the glands gradually become inactive. In the meantime, the colt should be allowed about all the well-saved clov- er, hay and chopped or rolled oats, that he will consume. A satisfactory and palatable mixture is made by putting a little cut hay and the ra- tion of oats In a pall In the evening, pouring some boiling water on it, covering with a rubber sheet and allowing It to stand until morning, then preparing another feed for the evening,. This, with a ration of whole oats, with a carrot or two at noon, in addition to the amount of whole hay he will require, usually gives excellent, results. Of course, this re- quires some time and trouble, and when this is not convenient the colt will do very well without the prepar- ation of food noted. When practic- able, the addition of cow's milk gives excellent results, but this la often not easily obtainable. After the colt has ceased looking for his dam, he should be allowed to take daily exercise in a yard or pad- dqck, and hla feet should be trimmed at least monthly. Usually under these conditions, the wear IB not equal to the growth, and if not attended to, the feet will become abnormal In size and ahape, which may permanently Injure him. Hence they should be trimmed to the natural sise and shape, as conditions demand. Prof. 3. H. Reed, V.S.. O. A. College, Quelph.
