winner at all of the large eastern

by Brandane Rightaway and on the

The diet of the pregnant mare
should be carefully looked after. Medi-
cines are dangerous, as they may bring
on abortion. Keep her in condition by
good feeding, thus avoiding the use of
medicines. Occasionally light bran
mashes or carrots do wonders in max
ing the coat smooth and keeping the
bowels open. The food must not be
too laxative, however. Oats is good
feed as it furnishes the protein which
makes bone, blood and muscle. Don't
think she must necessarily be fat. And
remember she is supporting two. Con-
stant exercise is beneficial and not in
furious.

Money put into good stock will
double itself, while money put in
poorer breed melts away. We know
of a man who has a Shorthorn COW
that cost him SIS. The former owner
did not recognize the marks of good
blood in the animal, but the other fell
low did. That COW has made him
$4,000 in seven years and is still work
ing for him. He sold one Of the calves
for $755 and another for $500 Four
years ago he bought another for $225
He has sold three of her calves for
SE10O and she now has calf worth
$500. 1t takes some brains to run this
business.

An alfalfa pasture is probably the
most sensible and cheapest preventive
of hog cholera yet discovered, for it
furnishes the pigs just what they need
to balance UP their rations all through
the season. There is nothing better
worth while than to see if it is not pos
sible to secure a small field of alfalfa
on every farm where the raising CT
hogs is made business. The import
ance of this is fast being realized by
the farmers of some states east OF the
Rockies and when a proper soil is Sc
lected and crop put in as it should
be, a large measure of success is being
met with.

The question is sometimes asked as
to which is more important, the pedi-
gree or the individuality. We some
times have poor individuals with long
pedigrees. A bulls pedigree should
consist largely of a record of the kind
of calves he will sire. A grade bull,
according to the law. of heredity, is
likely to sire most anything from good
to bad, according to how much mixed
his ancestry has been, and this we
don't know. We do know what the
pure-bred's ancestry has been, so we
may reasonably judge as to the pro-
geny A pure-bred bull of poor indi-
viduality should certainly go to the
shambles. But breeder is sometimes
disposed to keep him for the farmer

OF the evening was spent in social
intercourse and games OF various
kinds. At about midnight an oyster
supper was served, after which sing
ing was the main feature, and then
the guests began to depart to their
homes, wishing their host and
hostess many more happy returns Of
their wedding anniversary and carry
ing away with them the remem-
brance Of an evening most happily
spent.
The past ten years have been happy
and prosperous ones for MI. and Mrs.

way and their future years bid fair
to be filled with the contentment
that such prosperity brings. The
day was also noted for being Mr..
Wright's birthday. Besides their
