(BY W. NJ. KELLY)

There are many reasons why the
practice Of breeding the farm mares
for fall colts should prove advantage
GUS; however, very few farmers have
made it a success.
To be sure a mare can rear her foal
very nicely during the winter and if
she fails to get with foal in the spring
there is no good reason why she
should be allowed to miss the whole
year, but as a general thing the spring
colts pay best.
Spring is the natural season for
mares to bring forth their young.
This is not the most important reason,
but we all know that grass is the best
food for young foals that is, Of course
when properly supplemented with
grain.
In the winter when fed dry rough
age the effect upon its digestive sys-

the height and width Of the recess,
but they generally conform to this
design rather closely, Sometimes the

they cannot be opened. That is when

PREVENT DISEASES

Foundation of Success Next Year

and Good Soil.

III the soil is made sanitary by dis.
ease control, a large annual loss in
garden crops will be avoided when
the seed is gathered from last years
crop is planted in the spring 1t may
be laid down as a principle that the
foundation of success next year will
depend upon the care which is given
to keep the seed free from disease
and to prevent the soil from becoming
unsanitary
One vegetable which is directly con-
cerned is the potato. The tubers of
the potato plant may be troubled with
number of diseases. In Minnesota
the potato scab and the internal
brown rot must be contended with
Both diseases live in the soil and
tubers, and 1t is necessary that the
soil be free from the disease if next
years crop to be a large one. If
diseased seed or soil be used year
after year, the yield of the sound DO
tatoes becomes smaller and smaller.
Other common crops which are af.
fected with disease in Minnesota are
the bean, cabbage, onion and beet
Many of the diseases are so serious
as to endanger the production of nav.
ing crops. Some of the seed may be
diseased, and yet show no trace of
disease. Bean anthracnose, bean bac.
teriosis and black rot of cabbage are
among the diseases.
To prevent disease from obtaining
hold, spraying should be done wher
ever possible. If the soil is diseased

TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS

= The teachers of the township
schools met superintendent, d. A.
Haylor in the high school room for
their regular monthly meeting, Satur-
day, Mch. 29th. The high water pre-
vented a number of the teachers from
reaching their schools on Tuesday and
Wednesday. The special topic pre-
sented by the Sup't was"The Teachers
Experience" The reports presented
showed that there were some few boys
who were interested in the great Corn
Contest which will be conducted in
every county of the state this season.
Blanks will be secured for these boys
and trip to Washington is in pros.
pect for one or more of them.
The Twp. schools are beginning to
suffer from the loss of upper grade
pupils who are needed at home for
Spring work. The law of the farm
for the parents of these boys is more
binding than the school laws of the
State of Ohio.
The evening social gatherings at the
school houses under the direction of
the teachers and directors are proving
beneficial in raising funds for books
and school appliances.
The teachers decided to have meet
ings every two weeks the remainder
of the school year.

up room in the town hall for school
purposes. The first gradeipupils have
been attending school in half-davs ses-
sion throughout the year thus far, but
in view of the additions which come
in the spring the only thing to do was
to arrange for another room. This
room will take care of all newcomers
and portion OF those who have at
tended in the afternoons. 1t is hoped
that this room will be ready by Mon
day, April Z. All first grade pupils
Will have whole day sessions as soon

POST OFFICE ROBBED

The third attempt to burglarize the
Bradner postoffice this year was sue
cessful Saturday morning at 1875, 5,when
two men gained an entrance by jim
mying a window and then blew open
the safe with nitro-glycerine.
The men obtained something less
than $100 in money and probably as
much as that in stamps, although the
postmaster has not disclosed the
amount. Mrs. O'Brien heard the ex-
plosion and saw the men running
away. The job looks like the work of
amateurs.
Ruth Warden, the telephone oper-
ator next door, heard the men work
ing, but thought it was made by a
man in his grocery store. After she
heard the explosion, she knew differ

A prominent Perrysburg business

WORKING GIRLS

Much is being said just now about
working girls. 1t is claimed that
those who work in factories, stores
and offices do not get enough wages.
Several states are investigating the
causes that take girls to ruin in the
cities. A lot of things are being pub
lished that is foolish. A law is pro.
posed to make the wages of every fac
tory and office girl not less than So
per week. Some extremists want the
girl to receive big wages regardless
Legislatures have fad at present of
wanting to regulate everything under
the moon. The city papers have been
filled up with lot of cheap stuff on
this question until many girls ar.
coming to the conclusion that if they
are not paid more wages, they have
perfect right to sell their virtue.
The public morals are not improved
by such yellow stuff.
Undoubtedly many of the large III.
stitutions that employ hundreds of
girls could afford to pay better wages.
These plants make millions of dollars
for their owners. Labor ought to
have its just reward. But wages
should be raised by a different plan
than of accusing every girl who gets
low wages of vice and immortality
