SLAMS AMAZON GUARD

Siam is one OF the few countries
which boast OF corps of women police
The members OF this Amazon Guard
are all Old and ugly They wear uni
form though they are not armed. Their
chief duty is to act as gate keepers
OF the inner. or women's palace at
Bangkok They follow any stranger
who enters the palace and remain
with him until he takes his departure.
They see that there is no mischief
made and that no one makes love to
the royal wives and concubtnes. Men
who have business inside the palace
doctors, architects, carpenters, cleo
trio light filters, etc-enter the pal
ace freely, but are always accompa-
MED by some Of the Amazon guard.
The palace has some difficulty in re-
cruiting these guards, as the work is
hard and the pay poor. and the quail

Prize-Winning English clydesdaIe.

The greatest leak in American ag-
riCulture is that of barren mares.
That the horse breeding industry can
stand such a waste Of energy, money
and time is positive proof that the in
dustry can be made one OF the most
lucrative Of any carried on in cOnneC-
ton with the work of the farm The
loss in my state, Nebraska, resulting
from mares that do not reproduce
themselves, exceeds $4,000 600 every
year. In all Of the United States. the
loss from this source Will exceed $780,
100000. In the United States slightly
less than 40 toals are produced from
every 100 mares bred. A small frac-
ton less than % foaIs are produced
by every stallion owned in this coun-
try and it requires nearly four ser
vices of a stallion for every live foal
added to the horse population OF this
country These facts are small credit
to our breeding Intelligence, writes
DR.. G. l.. Carlson in the Farmers
Mail and Breeze.
\ record kept of many imported
stations, covering a period OF many
years, gives the following results:
The Suffolk stations left SO per cent
Of foals, Belgians 81, Percherons so,
Clydesdales "a, and the Shires 40
per cent. Feed is an important factor
in the case Of stations. Data gath
cred in several states. and covering
period Of several years. teaches us
that a corn diet does not produce a
high per cent Of foals. Oats mixed
with corn increased the foal crop by
per cent Oats gave an increase OF
IA per cent. as compared with corn.
Wheat bran added to the oats ration
resulted in per cent. more foals,
while grass or alfalfa, with no grain,
gave 81 per cent. OF fCals. Here We
learn that the nearer We get to a
corn ration the smaller number OF
foals produced, while the nearer We
get to grass ration with no grain
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1912-03-07

the larger the number Of fOals pro
duced. In other words, the nearer We
approach natural conditions the more
foals we Will have.
Data along these lines secured from
a different angle, show quite as con
clusively that corn is not good for
breeding stations. The foal crop in
Missouri from the best stations is but
Al per cent. of the mares bred, and
corn is the chief ration In Kansas it
is Al; Illinois, 4G; Iowa, Al; Nebraska,
40; Minnesota, G1; Ontario Il; Mon
tana, 70; Wyoming, -, and Idaho, -
Here again We notice that tho foal
crop is small in the corn states as
compared with the states producing
no corn. and the large foal crop is in
those states known as grazing states.
Overlooking is bad, too, regardless
Of what the grain is Il IS muscle,
rather than tallow, that is wanted in
reproduction. Tallow is degenerating,
impairing the vitality Of all cells,
glands and nerves around which it is
deposited. Everything fed a stallion
should be clean and wholesome. Oats
that have been wet before threshing
and musty or dusty hay should never
be fed a stallion Vigor tablets, ton
les or stimulents should never be
given stallion.
The manner Of feeding our mares
has much to do with foal production.
The following includes large list OF
mares kept on different feeds, and
the per cent. OF toals produced by
them. The range kept mares pro
duced 81 per cent. Of foaIs; those fed
grass in summer and alfalfa in win.
ter, 81; hay, oats and bran, IS; corn.
alfalfa or clover, IS: corn, bran and
hay 50; hay and corn, 49 per cent.
Here again, the nearer We get to a
corn ration, the smaller the foal crop
and the nearer We get to a grass IA
tion without any grain, the larger the
number Of foals.

MEASURING STARLIGHT

Starlight has been measured in com
parison with sunlight and the follow
ing results nave been announced: The
light received from a star of the first
magnitude like Vega is about one
housandth-mnHonth OF the
suns. Young places the total star
light received by the earth at the
value Of 5000 first magnitude stars,
thus making the whole starlight to be
one-siXtieth that Of the full moon.
