existence

The mare should be given a roOmy
stall; liberal diet of oats, bran and hay
is necessary. If mares foal in early
spring, or at any later period, it is essen
tial to the well-being of the offspring that
they should be turned on pasture for Mt
least three weeks before foaling, to get
used to the change from dry food; foals
will stand what expose the bans have
been accustomed to. How often does one
hear one hear of the loss of foals from
cold, inflammation or diarrhea through
mares being turned out on succulent pas
lures for the first time after foaling.
Mares kept for breeding purposes only
not required to work are better for hav-
ing dry food given after foaling, mares
should have oats given them morning and
evening; then gracs alone will be suffi-
cient Foals VIXEN month or five weeks
old should be shut away from their dams
for an hour or two each day to be taught
to eat dry food, such as bran and ground
oats. Before weaving, the foals can be
separated from the mares longer at a
time and thus, when taken away entire

tent as they would if suddenly taken

is strongly advised to raise young AMI
mails on pasture instead of in loose boxes
or warm yards. We do not, however,
wish to be misunderstood as supposed to
be advocating this treatment in all cases
--as in this case, for instance, of back
ward or delicate foals. We have never
known a case of injury from eating
frosted grass. BY this treatment the
growth of bone, muscle and hair will be
encouraged, the constitution strengthen
ed, the elasticity of action retained, while
the danger of getting over on their joints
or letting down at the hooks is reduced to
minimum. Foals require good and
suitable dry food during the winter
months At no other period Of life viii

most everywhere coming short of what
was looked for early in the season. Con
siderable threshing has been done in
Suffer, and the farmer reckons that not
more than half an average will be har-
vested in that country. Reports from
various sections of Butte agree that the
yield at best is only medium, and ac-
counts from Solano are equally disap
pointing. In Colusa, sooner after the
recent norther, an estimate, placing the
damage to the crops at $4,000 was
deemed extrayagant, but last weeks Sun
declares that the loss in that country,
those two days, was 100000 bushels of
wheat. 1--WE would he says, "have had
100000 bushels Now 10000 600 is
large estimate of what we viii have to
sell. The loss to the white wheats have
averaged from 60 to 20 per cent, and to
the club not less than an average of 10
per cent and some say 20 per cent. From
every one who was cutting before the
wind we hear of vast difference in
grain cut before and after the wind.
There are sacks to sell on all sides by
people who have purchased too many"
The San Joaquin Valley seems to have
suffered less by the winds, so only slight
injuries are reported. The barley har-
vest is turning out farley, and very
heavy and plump grain is being secured.
The late nay regions are turning out
well.

in recent address on Agriculture as
& source of prosperity" Col. j. b. Mayard
of Indianapolis, Ind, used the following
beautiful language eve read that God
himself planted the first garden. He
fixed its foundations Each fruit. bearing
tree and each towering shrub took its
place in the garden. Eastward in Eden"
by the direction of Jehovah, as certainly
as the stars with which he decked the skies.
We think of God as the builder of the
universe, of suns and planets and systems
of worlds, but it should be remembered
that he came down TO the earth, not as on
Sinia amidst thunder and lightning, but
in Eden where he planted a garden
and placed Adam in it to tend it. Here,
then, and | say it reyerently, we have the
Creator and Adam, proprietor and tenant,
engaged in the first agricultural and
horticultural enterprise of which history
supplies an account. Hence, claim for
agriculture a heaven-ordained rank, a pri-
NAL exaltation, such as belongs TO no
other occu.ation known to the human
family. And | anticipate a period, not
remote, wh9n young men Will esteem it an
honor Ito be known as agriculturists,
scientific tillers of the soil, and when
agriculturists, by their learning, their
ability and their influence, will compel
the acknowledgment that agriculture, by
hold contributions to the wealth of the
country is entitled to distinguished recog-
milton in the affairs of government"

Preparing Land for Wheat.
!. j. Shener1 in Farmer and Stnckn

The work of preparing land intended
for wheat should be commenced as soon
as possible after the grain is stacked
Plow well and reasonably deep If the
land has had shallow blowing previously,
1t Is not good plan to pillow very deep
now. Too much new under soil thrown
upon the surface will not produce as good
a crop as when a greater depth is secured
gradually. After blowing, narrowing or
dragging should be kept up, SO as to
pulyerize the surface thoroughly. If the
soil can be well packed underneath, and
then worked into fine filth on the sur
face to the depth of two or three inches,
1t will be in good condition to receive the
seed. Do not permit the weeds or grass
to make a start. You not only have your
soil in better condition by attention to
tins suggestion, but you run much less
risk from Hessian fly.
If 1t Is intended to apply a dressing of
OF manure to the crop, let it be done after
the land is plOwed, and before the ground
is narrowed. prefer this plan to plow-
ing under, The larger proportion of
wheat roots are near the surface, and the
manure should be kept near the top
There are three plans of applying ma
nure TO wheat, One is to spread it on the
ground after the wheat is stacked, and
then blowing under; another way is to
make top dressing after the wheat is
sown, spreading it evenly; the third
method Is the one l have mentioned above
a' that followed by myself applying to
me plowed ground and working in with
the harrow
IKE to pillow early, so that the weeds
ana stubble will be thoroughly rotted be-
fore the wheat is sown Then, too, there
is plenty of time for the ground to be-
come thoroughly settled before sowing
'ne seed; and as the fly derives its susie
nance between the time the wheat ripens
ana time it starts to grow in the fall,
from the volunteer vegitation, it will be
seen that early blowing and frequent
narrowing materially aid in keeping down
inns pest. Ordinarily l prefer to SOW
wheat reasonably early, provided the soil
can be put in good condition and there
is moisture enough to cause quick ger
mination; but if the field is badly infested
WIN fly ! should undoubtedly wait until a
nara frost before sowing Do all the
"otk thoroughly. There is nothing gain
ed by seeding large acrege on poor, lily
prepared land. A more profitable crop
'@h be grown by sowing less acrege on
7.'uhd properly prepared

Feeding and Driving Horses in Hot Weather
Practical Farmer

Feeding ana DflNlng Horses IN HOt W Gather
Practical Farmer,
Cold is one of the best tonics as an in
yigorator of digestion as well as of ner-
yous energy and muscular contractibility
Heat on the other hand, takes out the
tension from all the tissues, chemically,
as 1t does out of ovsrheated metal; and
physically, by lessening the appetite,
and IN the manner stated re-
laxing, and thus enervating, the func-
tions. If the owner or driver could but
realize that ennui overtakes the horse
precisely as it overtakes the man when
oppressed by heat and fatigue, and how
ever much the lash may be brought into
requisition for the purpose of infusing
new energy the reaction relaxation
following the hurt caused by the whip
leaves the poor brute more exhausted
than before.
The trouble in hot weather is that the
horse, as mentioned, can, not replenish
rapidly enough to enable him to keep up
a severe strain continuously, simply be-
cause the appetite and digestion are
weakened and the relaxing effect of the
heat is eneryating. This emergency may
be met by driving in the early morning
and in the after part of the day. If the
drive continues all day, one of the best
modes of relief is to now and then get in
the shade for half an hour, loosening the
check; and, while taking this little re-
spite, if the horse can get access to a bite
of grass for five or ten minutes, this will
be found to be wonderfully inspiring.
Driving with a check short enough to
glue WEAKNESS to. the neck when the heat
is facilitating is one of the most unwise
practices that can be uentured upon. The
horse, if checked up at all, should have
this done very moderately, and an occas-
ional stop at the water trough, the check
being taken off, will give great relief
Frequent watering, small amount being
INDUCED in, is best; and the principal
feed should be given at night, that it
may be eaten at leisure and digested and
assimilated before morning. To impose
the carrying of half peck or more of
oats within the digestive organs when
under exertion is unwise, and should
whenever possible to do so, be avoided.

ment. The motion was lost yeas SO, nays

SATURDAY.

Saturday was known as children's day
Mt the Monona Lake assembly, at Lake
side. The regular early morning devo-
tiOnnl exercises were indulged in. At
about 1890 possession of children
formed, numbering not less than five
hundred, and TO the music of Lueders
band, march was made about the
grounds. After this feature, which
brought real enjoyment TO thelittle ones,
and to all, in fact, the regular pro
gramme was taken up.
The exercises in the afternoon was of
musical nature, to start with. Signori
Fanelli and Vitale were called out several
times. A lecture by Mrs. Alden ("Pansy'D
created a great deal of merrment.
lecture by Prof. Holmes kept a vast au.
dience in close attention. Lueders' or
chestra entertained the vast throng for
more than an hour.
In the evening tine programme was
q MUSCLE one. The gathering at this
time, as during the forenoon and after
noon, was exceedingly large.
About 300 tents are already occupied,
and il is expected that fully $50 will be
occupied before the close.

from burglary. The large lodging tent,
Just opposite the cot tent Office, was en-
tered Thursday night and two watches
and a small amount Of money stolen from
the inmates. A couple of suspicious look
ing characters were noticed about the
grounds Thursday afternoon, and IL is
presumed that they are the guilty parties.
Pres. Coleman has warned the cam pers to
be on their guard and the night force of
police has been increased. 1t is not
thought that any Of the burglars will at
tempt any more depredations after hav-
ing so thoroughly alarmed the people.
OUNCE trees should be mulched as a
protection against extreme heat and cold,
as the roots are small and usually near the
surface. The ounce bears every year,
but requires some care and may be pruned
annually with advantage.
