HOW TO CARE FOR A MARE
AND FOAL.

T HAVE mare due to foal next
/ month and have never had any
experience in handling such case.
How long can l work her? What
do you advise me to feed her? How
long will it be before I can use her
again?"
1. If the mare is given neither
fast nor hard work, she may be
worked up to the day she foals. She
should not be loaded heavily so as
to cause her to pull hard, and should
not be worked so as to get her too
warm; but gentle, regular, light
work will be better for her than idle
ness, if she. has been accustomed to
work. The exercise obtained in pas
ture is enough for such a mare; but
such work as described above will
not hurt her and if she is worked in
foaling it is probably better to keep
her at it than to suddenly stop all
exercise just a few days before the
colt is born.
about the same as she has been accus-
toned to, especially if the work is
continued. Sudden changes of feed
or work are to be carefully avoided.
A mare carrying foal should receive
balanced ration and one of such
a nature as to keep her bowels open
or normal. Grass is the best feed
for an idle brood mare; but she
should also have moderate grain ra-.
tion up to the day she foals. If on
grass, a moderate grain ration of
equal parts of corn, oats and wheat
bran is good. If at work make no
radical changes in the feed. A good
grain ration for a brood mare is four
parts of corn, four parts of oats and
one part of cOttonseed meal The
hay may be half from the legumes
and the other half from the grasses
or corn fodder. The amount should
be proportioned to the work she is
doing and her individual needs. For
mare on grass, probably about one
half to three-fourths pounds of grain
day to 100 pounds weight is about
right; but If she is at work she should
have about one pound of grain per
day for every 100 pounds of her
weight. If this quantity Of grain is
not enough to keep her in good flesh
and condition more should be given,
but it is probably better to decrease
the work rather than increase the
grain
3. 1t is usually best to allow the
mare at least six to eight days rest
after foaling. and longer is better
unless she is worked lightly and care
fully. During this six or eight days
rest the grain feed should be light.
For the first day or two good hay
is sufficient and at any time not more
than one-half the usual amount.
When the mare is put back to work
1t should be light at first and the
work and grain increased slowly and
gradually. When the colt is three or
four weeks old the mare may be
brought back to moderate work and
good liberal feeding.
II the mare gives liberal supply
OF milk, care must be taken to not
iced too literally or the colt NAV get
more milk than is good for it.

Get MORE PROFITS
Tobacco Raisers Blamed for
Not Raising Full Crop.
Like Other Farmers, They Use
Wrong System.

Washington. Aug. 19.-Tobdcco
planters throughout the United States
should make larger profits than they
do. according to department of agri-
culture officials who have been study
ing the question. Planters now re-
ceive about S10O,00O.0OO a year for
their average crop of one billion
pounds. Their profits should be much
greater, say the officials.
Improper cultural methods keep the
product down to- one-thiFd Of what it
should be, the experts declare In the
Connecticut valley where the soils are
maintained in a high state of fertility,
Yields of two million pounds and more
to the acre are common, it is pointed
out, while on similar soils in many of
the manufacturing and export districts,
the average yield is scarcely one-third
of this.
The one crop system, instead of ro-
tation, is one of the improper cultural
methods, it is said, which is response
BILE for this condition.
The use of unadapted varieties or
strains of tobacco damage by insects
and disease, an imperfect knowledge of
+he principles that apply to the pro-
cesses of curing, fermenting and han
ding the leaf, are given as other
causes of small profits to the farmer.

DAWSON GETS IN
General Gives Opinion
in Sinking Fund Case.
Tells School Board Don't Have
to Establish 1t.

In letter to L. M. Penwell. chair
man of the Topeka board of education,
Attorney General John S. Dawson to-
day differs from the opinion of County
Clerk Zimmerman and states that 1t is
not necessary FOR the Topeka board TO
raise the $4,000 school bond deficit
in one levy. While Dawson declares
that former boards have erred in not
providing a sinking fund, yet he says
that a levy to raise the money in the
1912 budget, would be oppressive ana
is not necessary.
Dawson, in his review of the trouble
in Topeka states that situation is not
new one and that many OF me
boards in the state have pursued the
same course followed by local boards
1t is also recited by Dawson that the
school fund commission will take new
5 per cent. bonds to replace the ola
ones and that the shortage OF Iunus
to provide for the taking up OF the
bonds at this time, can be met IN sew
eraI subsequent lev1es.
The Dawson letter to Penwell reads:
Touching your telephone inquiry
concerning the sinking fund levy OF the
board of educat ton of the city of To-
peka, I beg to say that your board this
year cannot be expected to assume the
responsibility of imposing sinking
fund levy of such magnitude as would
be necessary to pay off all the bonded
indebtedness maturing within the next
about $4O,000.00. The present predica-
rrent of your board is brought about
by the fact that for long series of
years the board of education has failed
to make a sinking fund levy to raise
some substantial portion of a sinking
fund each year. 1t would, in my opinion,
amount to an oppressive levy to under
take to raise in one year the amount of
money which should have been appor-
toned over a long series of years Of
Of cot on
the part of the board of education in
bygone years that they did not take
these maturin bonds into account and
make a sinking fund provision therefor
but that neglect should not be made a
basis for an extortionate levy this year
Your situation is not at all an unusual
one. It is only too common for the
various municipal authorities and off,
ciaI boards to neglect to begin to raise
sinking fund until their payment is
near at hand.
1T is not necessary for your board
to raise enough money this year to
pay off the bonds due the state and
now maturing. / suggest that your
levy should be just what the taxpay-
erS of your community can pay this
year without its being unduly burden
some. AS to the bonds which the
state holds, it will be necessary for
you to make provision for their pay
ment, and as was stated to you in a
communication by the school fund
commission on Saturday, we will take
either new five per cent refundeS
bonds, or you can issue them at a
lower rate and they will be declined
by the school fund commission and
you can sell them elsewhere and we
will accept the cash. You will under
stand that during the present admin-
istration, at least, and L think for
sometime prior thereto, it has not
been necessary for the school fund
commission to buy any bonds bearing
less than five per cent

that TAX LEVY
Now About Decided 1t Will Be
High as Ever.
Experts Figure 1t Will Be $1.SO
as Against $1.77 Last Year.

That the general tax levy in To-
peka will reach its highest mark this
the belief of local tax experts. The
aggregate levy promises to tapproxi-
mate $1.SO on the valuation of 500
against SLIT last year, and may go
even a little higher.
1t was stated authoritativeIy at the
court house today that the county levy
will be 25 cents on the $100 valua-
ton, reduction of 2 cents from last
year. The county board did not pass
the levy officially, but has done a
good deal of figuring, and has decided
it cannot consistently lower this levy.
The tentative levy, as compared to
last year, is as follows showing small
decreases in the general and road

Sam Schepps, the long-sought witness
in the Rosenthal murder case, would
be here this morning and that while
On the train he was given an examina-
ton by District Attorney Whitman,
who joined Schepps and his guard at
Albany, served to incite the hope that
missing links in the story which Bald
Jack" Rose told duplicating Police
Lieutenant Becker in the murder of
Herman Rosenthal would be supplied.
Rose has said repeatedly that if
Schepps would tell the truth his
(Rose) story would be corroborat ed.
Information came from the public
prosecutors office today that created
unusual interest at police headGuar-
ters. 1t was learned that for several
months prior to the shooting of Rosen-
thai, officers of the district attorney
have been quietly investigating graft
in the police department. The big
grafters, it was said, have been con-
Etantly shadowed for four months and
the Rosenthal shooting simply hurried
matters.
From members of the district attor-
ney's staff it was learned that a civilian
and two and possibly four police in
spectors are caught in the tolls The
district attorney has obtained in
formation that a collector for one man
higher up in police circles had ac-
cumulated no less than $4,000 as his
commission on collections in the last
seven months.
The investigation into police graft
started when Lieutenant Becker
through Rose, it is reported. attempted
to get $3.50 from a private poker club
His demand was turneJ down and one
OF the members of the club informed
District Attorney Whitman The grand
jury will meet tomorrow, when * is
expected Schepps will be asked to tell
his story.
