WORRY ABOUT HAY CROP.

Willard. Utah. Nov. 22.-Never in
the history of Utah, or her sister state
on the north. has the hay situation
been so serious. A shortage stares
Us in the face. II is the duty OF ev-
cry citizen TO think seriously and
quickly. Something must be done
without delay. The consumption OF
hay in Utah Is much greater than
the production, and though at late
date | may discuss a remedy for this
condition, it is my purpose at this
time to urge the people to take ad.
vantage OF the one alternative left
Now, the proposition is this: There
is goodly supply of beets in the
country and according TO tests made
at the experiment station there is
much more nourshment in a ton OF
beets than in three tons of hay. Act
quickly before the bects are all sold.

POINTS FOR
THE HORSEMAN.

Concerning brood mares, there Is no
danger of working them In foal provid-
ed they are properly handled, says a
writer In the Breeders Gazette. Chica-
60. A mare will be better il worked and
will produce more vigorous foals. How
ever, judgment should be exercised in
working mares heavy in foal. They
should not be required to haul heavy
loads over muddy roads or work In
the field where they would be required
to turn in soft, mucky ground, as they
might strain themselves and cause Sc
rious injury. The man who uses more
than one team on his farm can easily
give the lighter work to the mares in
foal and In this manner get substan-
TALLY the same work out of them as
nny other team.
It IL not a good plan to turn mares
In the pasture with other horses when
heavy in foal unless they are known to
set along with them. A kick may kill
q colt. Brood mares need about the
same feed as other horses, but when
nearing foaling time 1t is better not
to feed much corn or other heating
food. Many think mares when at
work, as well as other horses. should

Great MARS From Trifies.


Great wars, pregnant with bloodshed
and all the horrors accruing thereto,
have very often been the outcome Of
trifling incidents which might, had they
been treated properly, have been
smoothed over and the slaughter avert
ed. More often was this the case In
earlier times than it is now. Every
one knows that William the Conqueror
lost his life in France through his
horse treading on redhot cinder
while he was experimenting the burn
ing Of Nantes. but few people know
the fact which gave rise to the cam
paign that cost William his life.
During the latter part of his reign
he became abnormally stout and con-
sequently the laughingstock Of not
only his subjects. but his neighbors
across the water. One day his con-
temporary, Philip of France, compared
him to fillet of veal on casters and
suggested that he should be exhibited
at a prize monarch show. This so en-.
ragged William that he straightway
made war upon his ridiculer, and the
loss of thousands of lives was the re
sult.-London Tit-Bits.
