GOOD MONEY IN COLTS I
Demand for Working Animals
Continues Strong.
All Things Considered, There Is More
Profit in Raising Horses Than
There Is in Cattle—Is Not a
Heavy Feeder.
There still Is pood money to be
made by raising colts, and 1 believe
that the farmer who does not have
one or more good brood mares on his
pluce Is losing the opportunity to
greatly increase his profits.
The corning Into general use of the
automobile and other things that
would, seemingly, placo the horse on
the retired list have no effect, says a
writer in the Farm Progress. The de-
mand for horses is jusi a* strong as
ever, and the prices are continually
going upward.
All things considered, there is a
great deal more money made in rais-
ing colts for market than thero is in
raising cattle. The cost of male serv
Ice Is a heavy item, but after that the
cost of bringing a colt to a market-
able age Is comparatively small. No
batter shelter is required for a colt
than should be given to a Bteer, and
while corn must be given to the steer
by the basketful, three or four ears
and a quart or two of oats is suffi-
cient for th ecolt.
I believe that the small farmer
Bhould keep a team of mares and
raise a couple of colts each year. The
mares can be used almost up to the
day of foaling without dny danger,
and they need but a short rest after
foaling. By keeping an extra horse,
which Is almost a necessity anyway,
to take the place of the mares during
this period the work can go right
ahead. By arranging so that the
foaling dates of the mares will be
some time apart the work can go
ahead with little inconvenience.
On the farm where there Is a great,
deal of work to do It is proper to
keep several teams of mares. They

Mr. M. C. Leslie Died Suddenly.
Mr. M. C. Leslie, an old and highly
respected citizen of Montgomery coun •
ty, died very suddenly at his home in
Willis on Wednesday of laBt week.
His age was about 80 years. He suf-
fered an attack of heart failure a few
days previous to his death, but had
rallied, and at the time death came
upon him was engaged in wheeling
some fertiliser into his orchard and
/ dropped dead in the street in front of
his house. No one saw him fall, but
his lifeless body waft found a few min-
utes later. The funeral occurred
Thurcday afternoon, conducted by the
Masonic lodges of Willis and Conroe.
Mr. Leslie had been a citizen of Wil-
lis fqr a good many years and at one
time was tax assessor of Montgomery
county.

can be bred to foal at different times
of the year and there need be no in-
convenience with the work.
In raising colts, as in any other line
of work, an effort must be made to
produce an animal that possesses all
of the desirable points. The first
thing to be considered In working for
this is to breed to an animal that Is
known to get colts of quality. That
all of the qualities may be brougbt
out to their best the colt must have
plenty of free exercise from the start.
During the time that the foal is fol-
lowing the mare It is necessary to
give her the proper ration# for In-
suring a good flow of rich milk. If
the colt does not secure enough nu-
tritious milk a marked effect upon
size and appearance will be noted.
Then, when the colt is weaned It
must receive a variety of flesh and
bone-forming feeds. The value of a
horse depends upon strength and ac-
tivity, and these can be present only
In an animal of good bone and mus-
cle formation and strong, healthy
vital organs.
It may be well enough to note that
the mare that raises a colt nearly
every year and that spends a great
deal of her time in the harness keeps
In better condition and has greater
vitality and la more vigorous th*a
the mare that 1b never bred.
When this is considered in connec-
tion with the fact that a colt or two
to sell each year will add greatly to
the income It would seem that the
raising of colts Is profitable work.

Peiition for Bond Flection.
Citizens of the New Wnverly
district have petitioned the com-
missioners court of Walker coun-
ty for an election to vote $75,000
in good roads bonds. The senti-
ment is said to be strongly in
fa\or of the bond issue in that
precinct, aD<l it is expected to
carry by a safe majority.

EASY RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
The Remedy that Replaces Calomel.
Causes No Restriction of
Habit or Diet.
It is a mistake to take calomel when
your liver is lazy and needs toning up.
Hundreds of people in this section have
discovered that Dodson’s Liver Tone is
a thousand times better and safer and
its action is just as sure. There are
none of the bad after-effects of calo-;
mel to Dodson’s Liver Tone and no
danger of salivation.
For attacks of constipaeion cr bil-
ousness one or two spoonfuls of this
mild, pleasant tasting vegetable liquid
are enough and the Corner Drug Store
gives a personal guarantee that every
bottle will do all that is claimed for it.
Money back in any case where it fails.
Dodson’s Liver Tone costs only 60
cents for a large bottle. Remember
the name because there are any num-
ber of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodson claims. Some of them have
names very similar to Dodson’s Liver
Tone and are in same color package.
These imitations are not guaranteed
and may be very harmful. Go to the
Corner Drug Store and you will surely
get the genuine.
