Mares in foal should have exercise and

the other may be everything that is

1t is alike dangerous to other horses

Professor Bailey, in a talk about the
Ignotum, which originated with him
while at the Michigan Agricultural col
lege, says that it is without question the
finest market tomato which he has evel
grown. Its particular points Of superb
ority are large size, regularity Of shape
solidity, productiveness and uniformity
throughout the season. 1t is the larges'
and heaviest of the perfectly regular to
matoes, and the most solid Of any of the
market sorts. The pickings from In
patches this year were usually fit FOL
market as they came from the vines, and
the last picking, Oct. 10, after long
season, was scarcely inferior to the bes
picking Of the season.

NEW YORK, January 14.-One Of the
two parties in the Reading held that stock
was very firm around 36H to-day and adj
vanced the income bonds little although
everybody now knows that IN the year
which ended November 30, 1889, both com
panies failed TO earn fixed charges. The
other coal stocks, Wisconsin Central, Atch-
ison, Chicago Gas, the Gould stocks and
grangers went down. The presidents
meeting here to-day adjourned after ap-
pointing a committee TO devise a scheme
TO perpetuate that makeshift Of year ago.
The bear party, Of which Cammack is
leader, has done very little in the market
since it covered its shorts last week. They
have been successful and are likely at any
moment 10 attack any group of stocks. We
do not change our opinion that we are TO
have a narrow market for some time.

Don't forget the roses this fall, say;
The Farm and Field. Place a good GOV
ering of manure on the ground and fork
it in very lightly next spring. Ever
blooming roses in the open ground mus
have special care. They should always
be planted with two or three buds below
the surface of the ground. There arr
very few tea roses hardy enough to winter
out of doors in Colorado. But the hybrid
teas and the Bourbons are harder, and il
they be killed to the ground, the buds be
low the surface will send up strong canes
that will give the best Of blooms. Whether
canes be killed 70 the ground or not they
should be cut off close TO the earth every
spring. The soil can hardly be too ricl
for this class Of roses.

II costs more TO keep a poor horse than

feed for your horses often enough to
make them relish it. Improper feeding
is the cause Of nine out Of ten cases OF
sickness among horses. Every time you
worry your horses you shorten their lives
and days Of usefulness. Sweat and dust
cause the horses shoulders TO gall. So
do poor, i'll fitting collars. The temper
