Thc Marc and FoaI.

Mares after being bred should not Dc
worked for few days, aftei ~nicii
they may be worked right up to the
day they foal, providing you have the
right kind of work for them to do.
They should not be hitched to any very
heavy loads or on to tongue that will
strike them in the side, and they
should not be backed when heavy with
foal After fall plowing is done and
you have no further work for them,
do not tie them in the stable and let
them stand without any exercise; that
is too sudden change. Let them out
in the yard for exercise every after
noon, unless very stormy. A few weeks
before foaling, feed a little iaxseed
along with boiled oats and bran. Never
allow the foal to run after the mare
when working. Always keep it in a
loose box, well bedded, and with plen-
ty of light, but no holes which it can
get its head through. Always give the
foal little feed when you take the
mare out Unless you are working a
long distance from the barn, 1t will
pay to take the mare in during the
forenoon and afternoon, giving her
drink and a handful of oats, and let
the foal suck, thus helping the mare
and also the foal. When the foal is
weened, feed it often with good clover
hay, CHOPPED oats and bran, and all
the milk it will take. Winter well the
first winter. Many foals are allowed
to winter around straw stacks and on
poor, dry feed, and are very little
heavier in the spring than when
weaned in the fall.-Farmers' Review.

Fertilizers On worn-out Soil.

A reader in Florence, Ala, asks for
formula to make chemical fertilizers
for wheat, to be drilled in with wheat"
He has been using bone-meal to some
extent, but for .he last two years has
failed to get good results, the land be-
ing red-clay upland, worn-out cotton

far advanced TO be cured by the ap-
plication of any chemical fertilizer or
fertilizer combination which I might
prescribe The soil is "worn out"
That tells the whole story 1t is life
less for the want Of humus as well as
plant foods. Chemicals might supply
the foods all right, but would not bring
a permanent Improvement The pro-
duction of wheat will only finish the
process of soil-robbery begun by grow
ing successive crops of cotton. The
remedy in this case, sin number OF
similar ones, lies in the cessation, for
a year or two, of the production OF
wheat, and in the planting of such soil
improvers as cow-peas, soy-beans,
crimson clover or other clovers, per-
haps with the help Of dressings of SUI
AMI possibly smaller dose
Of potash (murjate or other forms),
leaving the growths thus produced on

WINTER BEDDING.
How to Protect Comfort Ends, Keen
Quilts Clean md Make Paper
Blankets.

An easy way to protect the ends OF
comforts and other bed covering is to
take strip of muslin (old sheets may
be used for this purpose) about IL inch
es wide and long enough to reach across
one end of the comfort, sew this on with
long stitches, so that there will be a
width of six inches on either side of the
comfort This strip can be easily re-
moved and washed when soiled.
A white quilt will keep clean and free
from wrinkles much longer if, instead
of being allowed to remain on all night,
it be drawn down over the end of the
bedstead, care being first taken to re-
move all DUST says the Home Magazine.
Lest the quilt should reach the floor,
and thus become soiled, the top should
be folded back towards the bed and
passed over the end just far enough to
prevent its slipping off.
A dainty daytime cover is made OF
shrimp colored linen worked in
stamped spreading design, with ivory
colored flax 1t is made just large
enough to fit smoothly without hanging
off. A broad lace insertion is set in
with border to match. A toilet set
to correspond is very handsome with
this spread.
A lovely slumber robe can be made of
two summer shawls. of contrasting COL
ors; place sheet wadding between the
shawls and knot with No. ribbon.
Paper blankets are excellent for
warmth. Make by basting newspapers
or wrapping paper in six or more
layers. covering with the cheap flannel

SOCIETY AT "A DISTANCE.


Society "a Z distance Is one Of the
amusements furnished to readers Of
metropolitan dailies. These organs of
urban thought agree in deeming society
ludicrous II it is the society Of any small
place. says the News from Turkey Creek,
"V. w. Hancock and family" says pa
per in Iowa., "and Uncle John Clarke
had more places to eat and to be enter
tanned last week than they could attend
to-" This information Is printed In
New York without comment. as funny
In itself, but description Of the conflict
Of engagements of any person prominent
in the social eddy Of great city might
be serious little special" AS an In
diana journal observes: MRS. William
Thompson has her second crop OF let
tuce, which speaks volumes for our won
derful soil and climate" Why is the
lettuce of Mrs. Thompson ridiculous?
"The minister arrived on time, and just
as the morning star cast his rays
athwart the billowy fields of Indian
Creek, Lee Hawkins and Ira Eddy were
made man and wife" So far from laugh
ing at this West Virginia style, We only
wish 1t would be initiated in the society
columns of large places. 1t is the deadly
with which the metropolitan
journals chronicle the fact that certain
ladies were seen driving upon the av-
enue yesterday that adds the most ex-
cruciating quality to this conspicuous
of the news. A superiority
of smaller places is that personal infor-
nation is printed to satisfy the natural
desire to know something about our
friends. When the people of Helton-
Vile, Ind, read that curt Sowder blew

FOOD VALUE OF OYSTER.
Bivalve Does Not Rank with the Cod,
HnddOck or Mackerel-The
Blue Point.

AS matter of interest there is only
one species of oyster, ostrea virginica,
along the eastern coast of North
America, says Good Housekeeping.
The western coast has at least five
species, but only two of these are of i'm
portance, and these do not compare with
the eastern shellfish. Thus 1t is appar-
ent that blue point, a Providence
river and a Chesapeake bay oyster are
one and the same thing, SO far as spe-
cies is concerned. The difference is
merely a matter of environment, diff
ference in food supply and conditions in
growth.
The noted blue point comes from the
Long Island shore, from what was once
a natural bed. 1t gets its name from
the little town of Blue Point, off which
the beds were discovered. These oys-
ters were of handsome shape and extra
appearance, and at once commanded
fancy prices 1t was only a matter of
time when these and neighboring beds
would be worked out, and then it was
found necessary to resort to seeding
or "planting"-that is, covering the
beds with young oysters from other To-
calities.
The oyster is rich in phosphates. but is
almost entirely lacking in fatmaking,
muscle-building material and those ele-
ments which go to make up physical
force and vitality. While It is whole
some and easily assimilated. the actual
food value of the oyster is not suffi-
cient to rank it with our great food
fishes-the cod, haddock, mackerel, etc.
