1t is an ideal feed to use with corn
and Is highly palatable. 1t need not be
fed in large quantities, one part Of
tankage to ten parts of corn being
very satisfactory ration. Nothing is
better than warm slop for hogs Of all
ages during the winter months. 1t Is
hard to get them to drink all the water
that their systems require during the
winter, and if they are given all the
warm slop they will drink they will do
much better than without it. Though
personally l like to feed tankage in
slop better than to feed 1t dry, it may
be fed on the ground during the sum-
mer months in small quantities, with
salt and any other condiments. with

joaquin Miller Had
Adventurous Career
Before lie Became Poet

- P in the aerie fastness OF
woodland estate overlooking
u the Golden Gate of San Fran
cisco lived Joaquin Miller, one
of Americas best loved sons. This
unusually picturesque character, VINO
died recently, though he unused close
to nature in his woodland home far
from the sounds of modern life, was,
nevertheless. always close to his fell
low countrymen. Miller's death at the
age of seventy-one caused sorrow to
thousands of his countrymen.
For twenty-five years, while the
"Poet of the Sierras." as he was low
ing known, lived in the retreat, his
cabin was a mecca for both the famed
and unknown geniuses Of every sort.
His writings, coming out of the woods
with their seeming breath of green
things, kept him ever before thousands
of admirers.
Miller had an adventurous career
during the early part of his life. He
was captured by Modoc Indians and
reared with them as boy. Later he
fought in an Indian war, went on q
filibustering expedition and was wound
ed and captured. He figured in sew
eral gold hunting expeditions, ultimate
ly acquiring quite snug sum from one
of his ventures.
He always declared he did not care
for writing because of his belief that
a person who wrote for a living could
not think much, and a person who did
not think much was not fulfilling the
best purposes of life.
His splendid poetry almost entirely
treated Of the wonders Of nature. He
had small patience for literature that
exploited war and warriors.
Miller was far more widely known
by his pen name of Joaquin than by
his Christian name, which was Gin
cinnatus Heine. He took the pseudo
nym after making chivalrous defense

BROOD MARE TREATMENT.
to Observe to Prevent Loss
of FoaI by Abortion.


of FoaI by Abortion.
More consideration than is the gen.
eral rule should be given to the treat
ment of brood mares, writes j. A. Mac
donald in Rural New Yorker. AS soon
as it is known that mare is safely in
foal care should be exercised that she
receives no treatment or annoyance
that would endanger the loss Of the
foal through abortion. Sometimes the
teasing or annoyance by stallion or
gelding will cause such trouble. While
with foal foods that are Of laxative
and distinctly nutritive character
should be used. Besides, something
more than the ordinary amount OF
grain should be given, so that the
mares strength is not reduced while
supporting the unborn foal. Oats
should be the chief and staple article
used for grain food, and the mare
should have a fair allowance at least
twice day during the winter months.
Along with oats, bran should be free
ly and regularly used by every farmer
who raises horses. Clover hay is pref
cradle to timothy if free from dust. In
addition to these, few roots should be
fed daily or every second day at least.
If, however, wheat bran is fed liber
ally roots are not so necessary, because
bran is laxative and cooling to the
blood, which is the very effect of
roots. Raw potatoes are good and very
cooling. Not many should be fed in the
raw state l know one man who kept
two horses. One was pretty big horse
and the other was small horse. Raw
potatoes were fed every night to these
horses, to the big horse sixteen and to
the small one twelve. This was fair
proportion.
Brood mares should be kept sharply
shod in winter, as struggle to keep
their feet on ice or slippery roads may
cause abortion. Cold, icy water is dan
gerous, as it may cause collie and
eventually abortion. Mares in foal.
while better for being worked moder-
ately, should be kept out Of deep snow.
Plunging and struggling in deep snow
are very dangerous.
When there is imminent danger of
the mare aborting through slipping on
ice, plunging in deep snow, hard driv-
ing or otherwise, soft feed should be
withheld and the mare given kiln dried
grain. Whole wheat dried in the oven
Of the kitchen stove is an old estab-
lished preventive feed. 1t has long
been practice with us to feed this
dried wheat to the mare after hard
drive or at any time that abortion is
apprehended. While have known our
mares to abort several times, / never
knew any Of them to abort after get
ting preventive feeds of dried wheat.
If wheat is not at hand. dried barley
is good, or even dried oats.
With care and the exercise of COM
mon sense there should be little dan
ger Of a mare with foal doing all kinds
Of work and even driving if she is
general purpose mare.

What would the war mean? What
