THE MARE WITH FOAL.

The care given mare will materi-
ally influence her foal. She cannot
be expected to do we'll as breeder if
she is forced to subsist all winter on
the strawstack, sheltered by barbed
wire fence on the other hand mares
that are kept idle and fed heavily on
corn and other heating foods will
have about as unfavorable a chance
as the starved animal AS in most
other things, the happy medium is
the royal road to success. The writer
is firm believer in the efficacy of
moderate work as panacea for most
of the ills to which brood mares are
addicted. Exercise mare must have
in plenty and it is better that she
should have it in harness than run
ming in yard. OF course it is much
better to have her run in freedom
than to have her stand in a stall, but
the mare that is properly fed all win
ter and worked moderately every day
will have more chances to come out of
her foaling all right and produce a
good, healthy, strong colt than the
mare that runs in yard or loose in a
stall.
The feeding of all kinds of animals
has been discussed before this insti.
tute and little need be said about feed
ing the brood mare. Suppose the mare
has come through the winter in good
fix, and is due to foal about the last
of April Let her work right along,
feed her literally on good, sound,
bright oats and hay. 1t is we'll to give
her crushed or ground oats, with
little bran. At this time corn is not
good for her. If enough oats are not
raised to feed all the year, corn should
be fed during the cold weather. AS
to quantity of food, great care must
be taken about the only rule that can
be given is Give enough to keep
the mare from running down materi-
ally in flesh. No horseman will neg
lect to groom his mares regularly and
well, and do everything in his power
to keep them as comfortable as posi-
BILE all the time.
Hard driving and hard pulling
should be avoided at all times, since
there is danger of the mare slipping
her foal, caused by overexertion or
strain. The mare should never be put

ance. - william Hixon, before the

WHEN POULTRY PAYS THE
FARMER.

When farmers are in good circum-
stances and the farm brings in gem
erous income, it is doubtful if the
poultry business is profitable.
Upon large farms, where large num-
bers of live stock are raised, there is
great demand for the farmers time
and attention, and the poultry yard
is something that must not be neglect.
ed If any profit is to be derived from
the business. This, we think, is the
reason we so seldom see large, extern
sive farmers and stock raisers engage
in the poultry business, except upon a
small scale for family use.
For small farmers, whose income
is not sufficient to meet the demand,
the poultry business is especially
adapted. 1t requires but little capt.
tai to begin with and brings in quick
returns.
In this way the wives and daughters
can earn quite sum of money with
which they can supply themselves and
the home with necessaries and many
comforts which heretofore may have
been considered luxuries.
Boys and girls can embark in the
business and earn money enough to
help educate themselves and at the
same time be acquiring good business
training. 1t requires close attention
to details, stick to it-iveness and in
dustry which are good training for
any business. When one acquires
sufficient ability to properly manage
a large poultry plant he has good
business training for managing almost
any branch of stockraising.
The incubator will do much to in.
crease the poultry business. With il
large numbers of chicks can be hatch.
ed and raised. This will make it pos.
sible to dispose of the old hens each
year, as new supply can be raised
every spring, Also large numbers OF
broilers can be raised early in the sea
son, when they command high prices.
Producing eggs and broilers offers
a good opportunity for those witt
time and attention to devote to the
work, and it is much better business
for the farmers children than ped
ding small articles for sale, which
has been so popular the last few
years--Rural, in Indiana Farmer

DANGER IN CROSSES.

There is much ambition occasionally
evoked by enthusiastic sheep bree ders
in the attempts to found new breed
of sheep l have had personal ac-
quaintance with two American breed
ers and one breeder in France who
have made attempts in this line. One
of our own breeders made a most dis
astrous failure in the attempt to found
a new breed by mixture of about every
breed in existence in the United
States, while an old personal friend
signally failed in starting what he
hoped to make breed of-which was
mixture of Southdown and Cots
void. Both these attempts necessari-
ly failed for want of that close affini-
ty which is necessary to meet the law
of nature in this respect.
Nature abhors forcible attempts to
disturb its balance. There is a firmly
fixed set of rules in this regard,
which no man as yet has been success
full in violating And the most effec-
tive of these rules is that in the at
tempted union of any two animals of
different breeds there must be some
natural affinity and no extreme varia-
tion between the characters. So that
for example, in the crossing of any
two breeds of sheep the most satisfac-
tory results have been gained by the
early lamb producers, with whom the
| Southsdowns or Cotswold ram on the
Merino ewes has made the best prog
eny. But this breeding has not been
in any way with the intention of max
ing a breed of the cross for, scientifi-
cally considering it, there is greatly
too much difference between these
sheep to admit of sure fixed mixture
by one cross. The first cross makes
a very desirable market animal but
every good quality is lost by any fur
ther mixture of blood and so far there
is that want of adaptability called
nicking in by the breeders which has
made complete failure in every at
tempt.
So, too, the same has happened by
a cross of the Southdown on the Shrop
shire, which was tried by New Yorb
breeder some years ago. This fail
ure was distinctly foreshown by the
writer on the first suggestion of the
attempt, for the reason that there wa!
already too close relationship be
tween the two breeds and not a suffi
cient variation between them to pro-
cure any sufficient distinction neces
sary for a cross which might be final
ly developed into distinct breed -

FEEDING CHICKS.

Broilers are Matched out, or are

are Matched they should be put in a
warm place. The place should be

whether summer or winner. No food
should be given them until they are
thirty.six hours old There is sin
gular way of discovering whether the
chicks are too warm or not, and that
is, if they huddle together they are
cold. If they spread out on the edges
of the brooder they are too warm.
Sometimes, however, the mistake is
made of cooling the brood off too
quickly when they are seen at the
edge of the brooder The first food
that should be given them is little
stale bread dipped in milk, squeezed
dry and placed in troughs made OF
laths. This food should be given
them three times a day, but a sep
y
before them with oatmeal in it.
The oatmeal should be graduated.
Three times week a raw egg should
be beaten and mixed in with the milk
before the stale bread is dipped in it.
Hard boiled eggs cause bowel dis.
ease, and so will too much meat, but
a little meat should be given them
twice week, chopped very fine.
Mashed potatoes are excellent foI
young chicks, and after the chicks
are week old screenings and cracked
corn may be given them. Green fooc
of any kind is excellent although il
is not essential. AS soon as they are
large enough to eat it, whole wheat
should be given them The meat beinG
insufficient may cause bowel disease
and that among young chicks is very
fatal. If lice are troubling them lool

Sometimes the mistake is made OF
suppOsing the bottom heat in the
brooder is too high when the chicks
appear weak in the legs. If they try
to run around the floor, in most case,
it is symptom of rapid growth ant

forcing them too rapidly. Plenty OF
fresh water should be kept before
fowls of any kind, but the young one,
must have the water tanks so arrang
ed that they can only get their bills
in, as dampness is very fatal to young
chicks The key to success with very
young chicks is in keeping the brood

garding the temperature. If the poul
