Fhsir Proper Treatment Before and
After Parturition.
Mares carrying foals may work up
to within ten days of the date of foal-
Ing and be benefited by it. They should
be given moderate but steady work.
Good oats four parts and bran one
part, along with mixed hay GLOVER and
timothy which has been well cured
makes an excellent ration. The rule of
n pound Of grain and one pound of
hay to every hundred pounds Of live
weight is a good rule to use as a basis
for feeding, considering also the varia-
ton Of individuals. AS the period Of
pregnancy advances the ration will
need to be increased somewhat.
The mar should be gaining in con-
dition and the bowels loose at the time
Of parturition. 1t is a good plan to feed
rather sparingiy for two or three days
just before parturition. and the ration
at the time should consist largely Of
bran.
Mares should be given a box stall at
least four weeks before they are due
to foal. In order that they may become
accustomed to 1t and may also have a
place large enough { be comfortable
during the night. The stall should at
all times be kept clean and well bed

parturition. II truly known the source

due to a dirty stable or yard. As q

Of carbolic acid.
In developing the youngsters the first

Mr.. Barry is from Norwich, Connect

Incident in Washington's career which
happened at that place.
II seems that General Washington
was passing through Norwich on a
Thanksgiving day when he, with a
large part Of tue continental army. was
searching for Benedict Arnold. Arnold
was supposed to be hiding IN his home
10 Norwich at the time and Washing
ton during his search OF his property
happened to throw barrel on a fire
with the exclamation that he wished it
was Arnold instead. Ever since that
time the city OF Norwich celebrates
Thanksgiving by the burning OF bar
rels-most OF which duty devolves
upon the small boys. Mr.. Barry states
that when a fat little kid' he was
twice ''pinched" for stealing barrels
but that there is no record on the po-
lice court books to prove the fact.
