The wheel of fortune favored Mrs.

prizes Wednesday, when ticket No.

handsome $500 clock, which had
been on exhibition in the window of
Gotham Bros. jewelry store for the
past week. The crowd on Wednes.
day was considerably smaller than

to revive again Friday, as that will be
the first day of the aero meet TO be
held here the latter part of the

expected in the city.
All of the merchants who are inter

the 1925 worth of grand prizes during
the aviation week in the city are more
than gratitied at the excellent show

Saturday, when hundreds of people
living in the country who have not so
far attended the aviation week sales
will be in the city. The additional in
ducements offered in the program for
that day will draw out an unusually
large crowd. The biggest prize in
the collection is offered for Saturday,
when 800 dollar buggy will be CIV

mer Is Coming.

1t is hoped by the farmers through
out the county that a lull has come in
the constant rains which have held
sway here for the past two weeks.
Not only do they need the dry wealth
er to continue planting the corn crop,
but the wheat, oats and clover, as
we'll as the other farm crops that have
already been put into the ground need
few days of warm sunshine in or
der to give them growth.
Wheat and oats are going forward
rapidly. One of the county farmers,
In town today, said: "I don't think
| ever saw oats look so pretty by the
Goth of April" In a few weeks the
wheat will begin to head out, and it is
expected that there will be a hand
some yield. The crop is looking un-
usually well.
Several fields of corn, which were
planted before the rainy spell, are be-
ginning to show fair stand, al
though week of sunshine would help
the young plants right now. The con-
tinued wet weather, it is feared, will
do considerably damage to certain
crops
1t will be few days before farm
ing operations can begin again, even
under favorable conditions. The
ground is pretty we'll soaked, and a
great deal Of clear weather iaust be
had before it can be put into condi-
ton for blowing.
With the coming. of Blackberry

weeks, the last of the cold weather
will have been passed, and the real
weather will be in order.

GOOD CARE OF BROOD MARES
Attention Given to the Mother Greatly
Influences Colt-Alwsys Buy
Young Animals.
(Ry s. c. MILLERN

10y >. 4. MllslsEk)
Any breeder OF experience, knows
well that almost as much depends on
the brood-mare as on the stallion in
the raising Of any breed Of good
horses
Many colts take their conformation
from their mother. especially from
their shoulders back For instance,
If a mare has wide. ragged hips, her
colts are most liable to inherit this
tendency. Many colts also inherit
their dispositions from their dams
Brood-mares should be sound OF
quiet disposition, strongly built, and
they should be we'll cared for.
1t is severe loss to the farmer
who pays $25 stud fee, loses two or
three months work OF his mare. and
then loses the colt at birth. or after
ward and all from neglect Of some
sort
The mare can be worked up to a
week or two before the colt Is drop
ped. In fact she is better of for
the regular exercise, but she should
be handled by a careful man. who
will not excite her, and she should
have a roomy box stall for sleeping
quarters.
Although many may disagree with
me. | am firmly convinced from nearly
90 years experience on breeding
farms, that It is a risky business pur.
chasing aged mares, who have spent
the best years of their life doing work
in the cities. and trying to make
brood mares Of them.
Even If they are only eight or ten
years old, 1t is an expensive expert
ment. The reason is obvious.
In the first place when a mare has
arrived at that age, and has never
had colt. her chances of getting In
foal are lessened each year.
Furthermore II Is safe to say that
a reasonable proportion Of these
mares have slunked their colts. and
for this reason they have been sent
from the farms and sold in the cities,
where they can do excellent work.
In choosing brood-mares, always buy
young ones. say from three to Ave
years old. then you should be able to
count on all of them getting in foal,
or certainly nearly every one. when
II you pick up lot of secondhand
mares. Of uncertain age, your per.
centage of colts will be extremely un'
certain
One good, sound young mare
bought from some reliable farmer
or breeder is worth more for breed
ing purposes than half dozen so
called bargains" picked up In the
city.

Ground for Early Vegetables.

II is a good idea to select the spots
now where the early vegetables. such
as radishes, lettuce, etc, are to be
grown next year, and to cover those
spots with about four inches Of fresh,
strong manure. This Is allowed to lie
there until the beds are to be dug
over for planting, when the soil will
be found as rich and mellow as anyone
could desire. The available fertility
has reached into the soil, while the
covering has protected It from the
heavy rains that beat down and pack
naked soils. When planting time
comes. rake of the coarse litter, loosen
the soil with fork and SOW the seed.
Asparagus and rhubarb should be GOV.
cred the same way-four TO six inches
with strong, fresh manure, This is
left on until growth begins. then the
coarse litter is just moved on the
crowns of the plants and left to decay
beside the row of hills.

Reckless Feeding.

A great deal of food is wasted on
hogs in winter on account of the care
less way in which they are kept No
domestic animals are probably more
susceptible to cold and weather
changes than swine. and none are pro-
vided such poor shelter, generally
speaking. On some farms rail pens
with a leaky covering serve as winter
shelter. The filthy conditions in which
hogs are kept is also a subject for
severe criticism. Many persons take
It for granted that the hog is natural
ly a filthy or unclean animal in its
habits. Force of circumstances over
which the hog has no control makes
him so. II hogs are provided with
good pens with place for sleeping par
titioned by a six-inch board. they will
keep their straw beds and sleeping
apartments very clean.

WHEN SHALL MANURE Bt HAULED?

At this season of the year many
people wonder as to whether manure
had best be spread Immediately or
stored, awaiting the time when the
crops will use it.
A Perishable Product.
One thing must be remembered.
manure is valuable and perishable
product. No system of storing has
entirely done away with the losses
In connection with it, of which there
are three. One or all of these may
occur in stored manure.
In the first place the liquid, which
Is the most valuable part, containing
as it does nearly all the nitrogen and
potash, may soak into the floor, or
If that is tight, it may run down the
hillside.
Second when there is no cover
over the manure heap, the rain may
leach out the soluble plant food.
Third, whether the manure is shell
tered or exposed to the weather,
heating may go on and drive off the
ammonia to such an extent that a
large Part OF the value is lost.
Amount OF Loss.
The amount of these losses will
vary with conditions, but expert
ments at Cornell and at the Ohio
Experiment Station show that from
80 to so per cent may be lost, de-
pending upon the length of time that
the manure is exposed and upon the
rainfall.
There may be loss in the field II
there is a large amount of rainfall
on the manure while the ground is
frozen or water-clogged. Whenever
conditions are such as to permit the
drainage water to soak into the soil,
there will be a minimum loss.
In brief, II the time of manure
hauling is to be governed by rule
rather than by common sense, haul
Immediately from the stable. On the
other hand, storing may occasionally
be made necessary by soft ground or
conditions as indicated above.

LIVESTOCK
.sNOTES N

Young calves are generally delicate
feeders.
Animals on pasture naturally take
exercise.
It is not the best practice to feed
silage exclusively
The pig should be kept growing
from start to finish.
Animals should be kept out OF doors
as much as possible.
The best way to prevent hog chol-
era is to keep the germs away from
the hog.
The first and most important thing
in raising hogs successfully is to haye
good stock.
Young colts should not be left out
in the pasture until they begin to get
low in flesh.
The pigs should be taught to eat
as soon as possible, slop being the
principal feed.
After the calf is past it's babyhood
it's growth and development are still
to be promoted.
A soft fat horse will shrink during
the first day of plowing. So look well
10 the shoulders.
Do not turn stock onto winter
wheat for pasture until the ground
Is frozen fairly hard.
The bad effect of feeding cotton
seed meal to pigs comes from giving
1t in too large amounts.
II we are going to have good brood
sows we must give proper attention
to the makeup OF the young gifts,
After the sows begin to get heavy
they should have separate sleeping
quarters. or not more than two should

no one will keep much stock or go
