BROOD MARES AND FoALs.

The best food for a mare in foal is
oats, bran, some corn, little oilcake,
carrots, corn fodder and good hay in
small quantities. Concentrated food
is best where there is o tendency to re.
taxation of the bowls. A large guam
tity OF food given at any time in con-
nection with vigorous exercise ishkely
to bring o miscarriage; oats or flax
straw in large quantities may produce
diarrhea, and abortion may follow.
Regular exercise and good nourishing
food in moderate quantities is always
the sure road to SUCCESS with a mare
in foal.
After the foal is up and around it
ehould have free operation of the
bowels. If it should not you will
notice that it is uneasy; it will switch
it's toll, draw up at the hanks, breathe
short nnd staring more or less. 1t is
time now to prepare an injection OF
slippery elm water, Aaxseed water, or
even CASTLE soap suds, and inject it
into the bowls until the big bowls are
omptied; to be repeated if found
necessary. But don't resort to physic
unless You are compelled to. Better
depend on laxative food for the dam
than to derange the stomach Of the
little fellow by medicines that irritate.

King Bull has very remarkable
family. He is accompanied by his
son, Balls Bull, Jr., aged ninety years,
who has son named Balls Hygd, aged
seventy-three, who has a daughter
aged fifty-nine, who has son aged
forty.one, who has son aged twenty
nine, who has a daughter aged four
teen years. who has . daughter two
years old. By this time it will be seen
that in the one family there is now in
the village child, parent, grandparent,

and great great great great great

The language used by these people
hardly amounts to the dignity of a di-
alect. People who live fifty miles
from each other can only make them
selves understood with the greatest
difficulty. The people arevery simple
in their ideas. When settlement is
made no such thing as city council
is created. Not enough people OF
sufficient intelligence to cast vote
could be found. in any one settlement.
The houses are all made of the skin of
the reindeer, and when taxation be-
comes too great they pick up their
houses and move. Here and there
throughout the country are some guide
posts erected. They do not tell the
distance and the direction to any given
place, but usually read: ''Turn to the
left if you want to get meal like your
mother used to cook.

necessity Of life to the people. The

TOMATO CULTURE.

The average productiveness of to-
mato plants, in both number of fruits
and weight of product, appears to be
in direct proportion with the earliness
of setting in the field, reports ". M.
Mhnson, of the Maine station. Little
or no benefit seems to be derived from
the practice of bagging fruit. The
individual variation OF plants is large.
Crossing between small fruited plants
of very prolific habit and the larger
fruited sorts is promising method of
securing valuable varieties which shall
be sufficiently early for the bestresults.
Plants grown from seed of small
fruits-those receiving little pollen
were slightly inferior to those grown
from large fruits from the came parent
plant. The best variety grown last
year at the Maine station was the Op-
timus. us.-American Agriculturist.

DISTRIBUTION OF FuNaous DISEASES.


There are many ways in which fung-
ous diseases arc distributed, although
the commonest method is by means OF
the various kinds of summer spores,
writes G. ID. Weed. With the great
majority of diseases these are produced
in countless numbers, and as they are
waited hither and thither by every
breath Of wind, and are washed from
lcsf to leaf and from leaf to root by
rains, nnd as they also germinate
quickly III their new situations, they
are able to spread infection with mar
velous rapidity. They are also often
carried from place to place by insects
aad birds, adhering to some parts OF
their bodies, especially the feet.
The various other kinds of spores
produced by parasitic fungi are also
distributed through similar agencies.
Some OF the smuts, as well, no doubt,
ss many other diseases, are often spread
through tie field in barnyard manure ;
and in cescs like the onion smut the
sroros may be washed with loose soil
from higher to lower levels. The spores
OF certain grain smuts appear to be
able to pass from diseased to healthy
Kernels during the process of thresh-
ing; and in some cases diseases may be
spread by means of hoes and other i'm
plemcuts used in cultivation.
In diseases like the scab and blight
or rot CT potatoec, the myceliuro of the
fungus is often distributed in the tubers
used for seed, thus being ready to in
feet the new crop as soon as 1T gets
wei, started. New York Tribune.

WhalebOne Scarce.

Featherbone, hornhone, celiuloid,
reed, rattan, corsline and vegetable
fibre are not good substitutes for
whalebone, but the latter is becoming
expensive and very difficult to obtain,
and is being gradually driven out of
many of the whip establishments In
1891 whalebones sold for Sc. 70 per
pound, the result of g corner, there
being only SO, 900 pounds available for
sale, and that in the possession Of a
company on the Pacific coast. The
price gave great impetus to substi-
tutes, and at the moment the whaling
men are walking the floor, it being be-
lieved that q very substantial substi-
tute for whalebone will soon be Oh the
market. New York Telegram.

TEE BEST ENsILAGE.

The best crop for ensilage is corn,
planted in the usual way as if for grain
that is, in drills, with three or four
seeds together at thirty inches apart.
The rows are three feet apart. This
method, by afording oil the light and
air needed by this plant, produces the
most nutritious fodder and O large pro-
portion of grain, by which the ensi-
lage is largely increased in value over
the common method of growing it
more closely. The corn is cut as soon
as the grain is glazed, and is stacked
in the field until it is partly dried. 1t
is then taken to the silo and either
packed in tightly whole or is cut by
machine into slices not over half an
inch thick. It is well trodden down
and covered with a double layer Of
boards, with tarred roofing paper be-
tween to exclude the air. 1t is thought
best by experienced siloists to defer
the covering until the ensilage becomes
quite hot. The heat kills the acid germs
and then, by covering, the ensilage is
kept sweet.-New York Times.

the surface of the fibre the scales are
left without t,protection and subject to
attrition from friction with neighbor-
ing fbres, which breaks their fine,
delicate, free margins, destroys their
lustre and Injuries the hexibility Of the
fibre.
So long as the fibres are enswathed
in the suint all dirt or foreign matter
is prevented from coming in contact
with them, for even if dirt is present
it only cakes in the suint and not in
the fibre, and when it is washed the
suint dissolves and leaves the dirt free
to fall off without any injury to the
fibre itself.
When sheep are washed with the
wool upon their backs the suint is dis
solved off the surface of the fbres, and
the fibres themselves are left dry and
hard, and even when they do not felt
they never regain their suppleness and
natural condition again.
The damage done by washing wool
on the sleeps back is the destruction
of the yolk, and the idea that in a
week after washing as much yoke would
accumulate as had been developed dur
ing the preceding year and ruthlessly
washed away is somewhat remarkable
one.-New York World.

the fur is woven into cloth, the meat
is used for food, the bones for sledges
and the milk for drink and cheese.
During the winter, which is nine
months long, they live on this kind OF
food entirely. The cold is so great
that it is a common saying that one
can hammer mercury with a reindeer
hoof and not scatter it. The summer
is only three months long, and during
that time the people usually visit the
sea shore. The people marry young.
1t is not uncommon for O grandfather
to be under twenty-five years old.
As a rule they are very religious
Most of them believe in the Lutheran
faith. Many, however, have no faith
at all. Old King Bull and his family
do not believe in anything. He has
no religious superstitions, no practices
of self-abnegation, no belief in any
thing being greater than himself. He
represents the old-time Laplander.
They were, and such of them as remain,
are utterly devoid of any sentiment of
any kind. They are as stoical as a
sphinx. Nothing moves them. Angry
they seldom are, and smile on their
faces is as rare as the sun in their ice
clad homes. The family ties among

WASHING SHEEP.

4 very strange argument has been
started in favor of the washing OF
sheep. 1t is said that the washing
causes the yoll to rise, and that in the
course OF the week that elapses be-
tween washing and shcaripg there is as
much yolk accumulated as replaces the
"weight OF dirt lost by washing" OF
course, scientifically, this cannot be
correct. Those who have made the
subject of wool the study Of thcir lives
know that the great objection 10 was!l-
iug the sheep is that it destroys the
fibre by dissolving the yoR or suint.
If once this suint is removed from

The Water Was Rather Cold.

The ocean water north of Cape Cod
is much colder than the water south Of
it, for the cape seems to turn a branch
Of the warm Gulf Stream out to sea,
leaving only the chilly Arctic current
to wash the Maine shore. A man who
went to secluded spot, not far from
Bar Harbor, for q bath on warm day
says: ga couple of fellows played it
low down on me that time. They
seemed to have just came out of the
water and I asked them how it was.

and the door is piece of wood which
fits tightly from the inside. In the

COLTS IN FRANCE.

France produces some of the finest
horses in the world, and yet in that
country colts are put to work at re-
markably early age, which is strongly
argued against by the leading horse
men of this country. At the age Of
from fifteen to eighteen months the
colts are put at light work upon the
farms, and at three years are consid-
cred as fully matured and are sold for
use as draught animals in cities.-New
