Working Mare with FOaI.

1t would do neither mare nor foal
harm if the work is judiciously selected
and the periods of absence are not too
long. Mischief arises when the mare
is taken out to do long road journeys,
whether at fast pace or heavily laden,
and, having been kept from her foal for
long time, is returned to it tired and
hot. The foal is then likely to suffer
in two ways, either of which is capable
of causing scour; the prolonged absti-
nence and subsequent hurried feeding
upsets the weak and easily-disturbed
digestive organs, while the character of
the milk is altered and causes bowel
disorder. The breeder of agricultural
horses enjoys an advantage denied the
light breeder, for his mares can
be employed for slow, light work about
the farm, and so be earning part of
their keep. Three or four weeks are
allowed the mare to attend solely to
maternal duties, and then she may 90
to work, of course receiving corn to
compensate for it, for work means
waste, and you cannot have milk and
work too. Some allow the fOal to run
about after the mare when she is at
slow work. 1t has some advantages,
chief of which is that the foal can suck
frequently, and get familiarized with
the objects among which it has to live,
but the youngster undoubtedly gets in
the way, and should, think, be shut
up during the mares absences, which
should be short. Familiarity sometimes
breeds contempt, and foals that are
made pets of and run about after the
mare at work, very often turn out a
great deal more troublesome than the
colt that has never had a hand on it
until taken in for breaking Prairie

be destroyed, and every seeding killed
means one less weed seed in the soil.
Barren summer following is often prac-
ticed to clear land, but usually corn, po-
tatoes, cabbage or beets may be better
grown, giving a profitable return for
the extra cultivation. As annual seeds
thrive best in soil that has been broken,
but is not occupied, it is evident that
broken land should not be permitted to
remain idle. A little grass-seed raked
in on bare hillsides will often keep down
annual weeds and will at the same time
prevent washing. Moving the road
side two or three times during the sum-
mer will subdue the dog fennel and
ragweed. Moving the stubble about
two weeks after the harvest and grain
fields that have been seeded to grass or
clover will check the annual Weeds

Beer From Bananas,


To the natives N Africa of the present
time beer prepared from malt and hops is
unknown. Yet there exists no lack of in
toXicating beverages among the sons of the
dark continent. They are not required tor
wait for the fire water of the Europeans to
be sent to them. They understand how to
prepare sprituous beverages of their own,
and they also become intoxicated by them.
The Africans make wine and beer, but
neither grape juice is used for the former
nor malt extract for the latter. Palm
leaves of different kinds, bananas and
millet furnish the raw materials.
Palm wine is made from the sap oozing
from the cut off blossom stems of the oily
palm tree and of the cocoa tree. 1t is
pleasant, refreshing beverage and sufli-
GENTLY known. From the fruit of the
banana tree "a beverage is made in Africa
which they drink there as vino or beer.
Banana beer is chiefly used by the ma
tivcs of Uganda, IA country bordering on
Lake Victoria The people there are fond
of such beer, and when Emin Pasha went
to Rubaga to meet King Mtesa he wrote
in his diary, This is u real beer trip, from
village to Village, or rather from beer pot
to beer pot, we are march%g on"
In that country the mtSNnfacture of the
panama beverage Is very extensive. DIR,
Felllin, an English physician, who former
ly lived there, describes the different kinds
of the banana beverages. He makes a dis
tinction between banana beer and banana.
wine.
According to his description, "mubisi,"
cooling banana wine, is manufactured in
the following manner: A big hole is dug
in the ground, lined with banana leaves,
filled with unripe bananas and kept GOV
cred by mats and earth until the fruit has
become completely ripe. Then the bananas
are slit, mixed with fine hay and placed
in large, boatlike, wooden trough, which
at one end has an emptying pipe.
After the addition of some water the
whole Is thoroughly mixed by the hand
or by short wooden sticks. Thereupon the
trough is covered with banana leaves, and
the mixture is left standing for about one
or two hours After the expiration of that
time 1t is taken out, and through glass
sleeves poured into large calabashes. 1t Is
then ready for use and represents sweet,
agreeable and not Intoxicating beverage
But II the "mubisi" is left standing foi
three days 1t undergoes fermentation
and becomes slightly acid, refreshing
beverage, which is strongly Intoxicating.

Converts to Judaism.

Converts to Judaism are scarce at all
times, but they are positively prohibited
in Russia.
Even if the law there were otherwise
however, and the attractivcncss of Juda
ism to the inndcl were greater than it is.
it is safe to say that worry few conversions
would occur, The Jewish church is not
given to prosclytzinp and the rabbits of
the orthodox persuasion at least are slow
to accept prosclytcs. eve are the chosen

The feeling against admitting the out

Draining.

There was wet strip running clear
across the front of field we bought
last spring. 1t was the outlet to a
springy spot on one side. 1t was ri sht
next to the road and looked badly.
The grass growing on this land was, of
course, wild and poor. Then again, it
was impossible to get into the field
without crossing this soft spot For
| fifty years, or more, previous owners
drove through that mud-hole. Time
and again l have seen a team just
about stuck in it. Years ago some
logs were laid down to make roadway,
and you would have laughed to see
man drive over there with load of
hay and spirited team, as l have, and
l have seen the hay go off, too. Well,
it was delight last week to me to be
be able to conquer that place, to take
little of the dominion given to man by
the Creator; and l didn't do it by
proxy, either No, l dug to the bot
tom, cut clear through, myself, and laid
the tiles and put the first earth over
them. l must know that my drains are
put in rightly, and, having no expert at
hand, l got into the ditch. fell to
thinking about men l know who are
very hard up financially, but when they
have any ditching to do always hire
some one to do it; and of other men,
who this season will crop fields where
there are wet spots, where the chances
are that they will get nothing, and still
they need the money badly. When
asked why they don't do this draining,
they say: ooh, l can't afford it,"
My way would have been to get some
tile and put them in myself during the
open weather in fall and spring. Many
day have | worked at such work
when it would have been much pleas
anter by the fire; but this is the way
success comes After all, however, 1
have enjoyed the conquering of such
bad weather to do it, and 90 without
new clothes to get the tiles. Partly as
a result of such work in the past, how
ever, we are not short of money to buy
tiles, or hire them laid, either. AS the
land is quite flat, we used three-inch
tiles. We started in about three feet
deep at the outlet, which was as deep
as we could go and get fall, and gradu-
ally graded up to about two feet at up
per end. The fall was made uniform,
clay was packed firmly over every tile,
and they were all bedded in groove
cut in solid clay, and every tile was
hard burned so it would ring. know
all these things, for | was right in the
ditch watching every point. That wet
strip of land, that miserable nuisance,

cerned) abated-if the outlet is kept
open. If l had done as many farmers
do, had emplooed some irresponsible
ditcher to do the draining and left him
unattended, the " forever" in the last
sentence would probably end in two or
three years. The truth is l have never
known but one ditcher whom | would
trust to do work for me unattended

Killing Out Weeds.

For the complete eradication of
weeds, Professor Lester says: "The
production of seeds must be prevented,
and, if the plant is a biennial or a per-
ennial, the root must be killed The
processes by which this may be done
are comparatively simple, and in no
case are they impracticable. But, in
the case of weeds that are widely dis
tributed, the conditions under which
many of them occur are such that the
farming community regards their ex-
termination as impossible, and we can
only hope for their reduction to state
comparative harmlessness. A species
newly introduced might doubtless be
eradicated if taken in time. y
Unless stronglylsupported and enforced
by the people, laws for the extermina-
tion of weeds are of little avail. y
Each landowner should be on the
watch for new plants and learn their
character, if possible, before they be-
come established and assert themselves
as aggressive weeds on his farm. Any
species of weeds can be subdued and
controlled within the limits of an ordi-
nary farm, and, unless the value of the
land is low from other causes, may be
profitably undertaken. If the weed ia
an annual, reproducing itself from seeds
only, it may be subjected by preventing
seed production. For permanent pas,
lures, lawns and roadsides this is quite
sufficient if persistently followed In
cultivated fields the land thus seeded
should first be burned over to destroy
as many as possible of the seeds on the
surface. 1t may then be plowed shaI-
low, 30 as not to bring the remaining
seeds too deeply in the soil. The sue
ceeding cultivation, not deeper than the
blowing, will induce the termination
of seeds in this layer of soil and kill the
seedlings as they appear. The lane
may then be plowed deeper and the
cultivation repeated until the weeG
seeds are pretty thoroughly cleared on
to as great depth as the pillow evel
reaches. Below that depth, eight t.
ten inches, very few weed seeds car
terminate and push shoot to the sur
face. A thousand seedlings may b.
destroyed by the cultivator with les
effort than single mature plant car

What DO Your Cows Pay?

How much are the gross receipts or
how much are the profits from your
herd, is a question that you may ask of
dairymen and not half of them can tell
you, because they do not know. Why
is it that farmers, of all classes of bust
ness men, know the least about their
income and expenditures? Go into a
large mill and the manager can tell you
to fraction of cent just what each
piece costs to make, yet go on to a farm
and the farmer does all his figuring by
guess and estimates. Does the wheat
crop pay? To answer this you must
know what it cost to produce it, Does
dairying pay? Well, you must also
know what it costs to produce the but
ter or milk. 1t is not difficult matter
to find out the cost of any crop or feed
ing an animal. Take the corn crop, for
instance. Put down the amount of
labor you spend on it, the manure you
use, the seed and the interest on the
land, and you have the total cost. 1t is
an easy matter to figure out what your
profit or loss may be. With the cows
put down the feed they consume and
the labor of caring for them, and credit
them with the amount of milk or butter
they produce, the calves and the ma
nure. This is easy in theory and in
practice. But go on step further and
keep the account with each COW. The
feed and labor side you may have to
average, but with pair of scales you
can tell pretty accurately what she
brings i'll. Follow this method for q
year and you will soon have some cows
to sell-thOse that do NOT nav for their
feed and keep.-Practical Dairyman.

MANY farmers buy superphosphate
because it is fertilizer, and are con.

requirements of the crop and soil. L,

alone gives satisfactory results.
