The best way to fight off season Of

Care of Mare In Foal.
Mares in foal may be worked up to
the time of foaling provided they are
worked carefully and not called on ia
travel over plowed ground, although
they may be used for blowing, nor in
deep mud, nor where it is slippery, as
on Ice, nor at pulling heavy loads. In
other words, take pains to use them at
slow, moderate work under the best
conditions, says Professor l. p. Roberts
Of Cornell university. Usually they do
better if kept at light work than II
they are allowed to stand in the stable.
If the mare foals later in the season,
she may be turned out to pasture,
where she. will get considerable exer.
else and succulent food, which tend to
greatly minimize the pain Of parturt
ton. If she is kept at light work
which Is recommended, take pains to
see that she has some succulent food.
Mangels or beets are good; carrots
are better than either Of them. II
none Of these can be secured, small
unstable apples or potatoes may be
fed in limited quantities. Lacking
these. feed pretty literally of scalded
bran salt regularly, and take care to
furnish all the water the mare will

Division of Interests.
We do not believe in division Of in
terests among the breeders Of any
breed Of live stock, says Stockman and
Farmer. Many breeds have too many
registry associations for their own
good. They are less able and less in,
duential because they are so divided
Therefore we regret that the breeder,
of Percheron horses are not pulling to

Those states which are noted for the
production of forage crops not only
have maintained the original fertility
Of the soil, but they spend for CONNER

the annual value of their crops, while
those states which pay least attention

Adam and Eve.


There was young man named Adam
and young lady named Eve;
They lived in the garden of Eden, l be-
lieve.
For gardening purposes they did not
suit,
They persisted in eating the forbidden
fruit.
There are many mean men as every one
knows;
They live in every part of the globe
from whence the wind blows;
But Adam was the meanest all the
Really have forgotten his other name.
He stood before the Lord like billy
goat,
He had on neither pants, shirt nor coat
He said the yonng lady gave me the ap-
pie and l did eat;
1t was very good and very sweet.
He should have said, Lord, ate the ap-
pie every mite,
The young lady has never taken bite.
If he had not have been so stupid and
so easily taken in,
We would not now be groaning under
original sin.
If they had have summed the tree of life,
1t would have saved their descendants
much toll and strife.
Adam was no good as every one can see,
And now we are in for it through all
eternity
