Mares vs.. G|e'ldings.
BY Thomas p. Cooper, Mime
sofa University Farm. u.

\ ! !. !: !. !. \ !. + !. + !. !. !.
Many farmers find that the cost of
horse labor may be materially de-
creased by the use of brood mares on
the farm. These may be bred annual
ly; and they can easily accomplish an
average amount of labor, and at the
some time raise foal. The colts may
be raised until four or five years of
age, and then sold. The number of
aged warehouses; required upon the
farm may be naturally decreased by
this method, as the three and four.
year-old colts may be used in their
place. BY this means, depreciation is
largely eliminated as an item in the
cost, and the interest charges are
lessened; for three or four-year-old
colt is increasing in value, and is SUBJ
ject to only the small charge of insur-
ance or liability of death. About five
horses are kept to do the work on the
average 100 to 1SO-acre farm. #
this method of handling the horses
were adopted, three brood mares
should be kept and bred annually. This
would probably insure two colts each
year. If the colts were retained until
the fall or late summer of the fourth
year (about the age and season at
which they would bring top prices),
and then sold, the two colts over three
years and two over four years, with
the three mares, could easily accom-
plish the work that would be per-
formed on the farm by the five horses
ordinarily kept. This method is par

ticularly adapted to the small farm,
where the owner is his own teamster
On the farm which is operated without
raising any foals, no profit is possible
from the horse enterprise or horse
department" as the cost of main
tenance represents also the entire in
come that could accrue from the
horses. But, on the farm largely ope-
rated by brood mares and colts, an adj
ditional source of income would be
afforded. The cost of horse labor
would not only be at a lower rate, but
there would be the additional oppor
tunity of profit by the growing and
sale of colts

Crop Rotation and Seed Treatment
Will End Trouble.

Crop Rotation and Seed Treatment
Will End Trouble:
Flax wilt is caused by mOld-like
fungus. The fungus threads attack
the young seedlings, and may either
kill it outright or merely stunt it's
growth. The fungus may live for a
number of years in the soil, on old
flax straw, or on other decomposing
material. 1t is for this reason that
flax should not be sOWn on the same
land more than once every five to
seven years. The disease may also be
carried on the seed. The reproduce
tive bodies (spores) at harvest time
are scattered over the seed and re-
main there during the winter In the
spring, even though the flax be sown
on unaffected land, the spores on the
seed will terminate and infect the flax
plants. There may be then two
sources of infection, the soil and the
seed. Danger of infection from the
first source may be avoided by proper
crop rotation and from the second by
seed treatment
Seed flax should first be very thor.
oughly famed in order to get rid of all
light seed, chaff, pieces of straw, etc.
Then it should be spread out on floor
or canvas, which has been previously
we'll washed with boiling water or
strong formalin solution. Spray the
seed with formalin, used at the rate
of one pound to forty gallons of wa
ter. It is necessary to use a com.
pressed air sprayer, which will throw
fine, misty spray. While one man
rakes or shovels the grain over, an
other should apply the spray, being
sure to moisten every seed, without
using too much of the liquid. The
fax should then be covered for a
couple of hours with previously
cleaned sacking or canvas. It should
be shoveled over, and may then be
sown.
If the seed is carefully treated, and
Is sown on land which has not grown
flax for five to seven years, there
should be no wilt. It is important to
remember that untreated seed, grown
on clean land, may produce wilt-af-
fected crop; and, in the same way,
treated seed, sown on unclean land,
may produce diseased crop. There
fore great care should always be taken
to get clean seed and SOW it on clean
land.-E.' G. Stakman, University

Washington, April 29.-The senate
formally organized for business by
adopting the list of appointments to
committees drawn up by the majority
Of both parties.
The expected fight against the adop.
ton Of the lists threatened by the
progressive Republicans did not de-
velop, Senator La Toilette contenting
himself with reading a formal protest
against the selections made by the
regular Republicans.
pared at a conference of the thirteen
D1ogressives, Senator Kenyon, the new
senator from Iowa, having joined the
original twelve, set forth at some
length the growth OF the so called pro-
Eressive movement in the Republican
party. 1t asserted that the progress

Gressives now have more than one
fourth of the Republican membership
In the senate and they have become
settled and established fact in po-
Ntisal history"
The progressives, it was claimed,
had a right to one-fourth representa-
ton on the various committees. The
protest was directed especially
against the finance committee, on
which. the insurgents" wished to
place Senator Bristow, and the inter-
state commerce committee, on which

Reactionlsts in Control.
Three of the nine Republicans on
the interstate commerce committee,
1t was pointed out, were from New
England and it was asserted that this
committee had been left in the hands
Of persons not friendly to advanced
legislation regarding the railroads and
that the finance committee had been
left in the control of ultra high tar
iff Republicans"
. When Mr. La Toilette had conclud-
ed the progressive statement Senator
Galllnger, chairman of the committee
on committees, said he was quite CON
tent to let the '1nsursent' statement
60 before the country, together with
the list of committees as framed.
Mathematically, he declared, the "n-
surgent" wing was entitled to 100
committee places. AS matter OF
fact they were given ia places.

added, "the committee of committees
believes 1t was acting equ1tably and

The committee list then was adopt
