which are the result of improper
breeding. 1t would seem that our
breeders would tire of such animals
because there is always demand for
horses of real value.
There is very little doubt that
mare ought to be worked during the
weeks prior to foaling. The mare
that is allowed to stand up in close
stable is more apt to prove unsatis-
factory at foaling time than the one
that has been worked up to within a
day or two of her time.
But there is danger of overwork-
ing. A mare that is put to the plow
and plols all day through soft
ground, such as is often encountered
in spring blowing, is apt to strain
herself dangerously.
While the crop that is to go ill., the
ground is important, the value OF the
mare and the future colt deserve
equal consideration. By keeping ex-

A few words of advice to the farmer
who intends breeding his mares this
season may not be amiss. There Is
certainly room for improvement in
the way some men attend to this part
of their work. Seemingly, they do
not mix in enough brains and com.
mon sense.
Each breeder should firmly impress
upon his mind the fact that he is do.
ing the wrong thing when he breeds
small mare to a large horse, says
writer in Farm Progress. True, the
large horse will bring the better price,
but the horse raised from mare that
has been bred to large sire is not
worth the price, even though it has
the size.
We might say that quality and fin
ish are the two most essential points
to be considered in a horse and these
can be obtained only by proper mat
ing. Mismating Is what has filled the
country with so many scrubs, and un-
til breeders give this matter more at
tention, there is likely to be little i'm
provement.
Over in England a great many of
the breeders give their attention to
rearing cobs, but our breeders seem to
pay scant attention to the demands
for that sort of animals. The man
who owns a compact little mare of
less than a thousand pounds weight
has the opportunity to raise very
valuable animal if he will use little
discretion in choosing the sire.
BY breeding to a short-legged, COM
pact and handsome sire he will be
able to secure an animal that is
stylish, of good bone and full OF &C.
ton.
On the other hand, if he choose a
big, stupid sire weighing a ton or
more it will only be a freak of nature
if he secures colt of any real value.
1t will be almost certain to inherit
more of the weak points of both sire
and dam than it will of their good
points.
1t is contrary to the laws of nature
for the small mare to produce large
colt Her capacity is such that the
foetus is cramped and starved, hence
it is foaled a large, raw-boned, un
calmly colt. Even after foaling the
mare cannot furnish enough nourish
ment, and the body is built up weak
flabby and without muscle.
Every breeder must admit that the
country is full of just such animals
as described above, nearly all OF

be best to drive her in team. The
single buggy's shafts sometimes have
too narrow a space between them for
the mares comfort. Their constant
pressure on either side may cause her
serious injury, and be the means OF
losing colt.
OF course, the stall where she is
kept should be roomy and the doors
should be wide enough that the mare
will have no trouble in passing
through them. A narrow doorway
is sometimes the occasion Of the
mare being seriously injured.
There are instances in every neigh.
borhood where the mare has been
worked hard all the day before
foaling, and then having got through
the ordeal without the least trouble.
The colts seem as sound and vigor.

these do a great deal of harm. Not

gets around that they can, and much
harm results in some cases.
There is difference between over

day following another, is too much
for mare. Most OF her energy is go.

PROFIT MADE IN
RAISING SWEET PEA

Soil to Attain Grace and
Beauty-FeW Hints.

Sweet peas do not need any special
soil to attain grace and beauty, ana
while one sweet pea specialist claims

air the best for sweet peas. Wherever
you live and whatever your soil and
climate, grow sweet peas and make
the best of existing circumstances.
Here are a few pointers by one who
has grown sweet peas in the middle
west which were awarded prizes. and
we found no mystery in their growth
or care.
Select a sunny locality, and have
the rows run north and south. Dig
the soil deply and stir in plenty OF

nure will do if COW is not to be had.
Wait until the frost is out of the
soil to do this. Even if the earth
freezes it will not hurt the sown seed.
After the soil is we'll spaded and en-
riched. firm it we'll, and then run two
burrows two inches deep and eight or
ten inches apart. Cover the Seeds
and firm the soil. You may soak the
seeds for "a hours before planting If
you wish. Sow the seeds thickly, and
ONLY when the vines begin to spin
thin out so that the vines stand three
inches apart.
Remember that sweet peas like
firm soil and therefore, when it is
necessary to have them to kill the
weeds. firm the soil we'll about the
pea stalks.
If the season is very dry, water
and when the flowers begin to bud
stimulate the vines with weak liquid
fertilizer. A weekly drink Of soap

for them to climb over, or wire trel-

A neighbor fitted a deep and long,

 The editor of a certain scientific jour nal. however, was much surprised and shocked at NJ. Monselet's ignorance when he took up the book. and he wrote an article about it in his paper which ran as follows:
 "A certain Nj. Monseiet has publish ed a dictionary for the use of children which contains definitions showing the most extraordinary ignorance, such as the following:
 'Sardine-A little fish without any head which lives in oil "As if fish could live without . head and in oil!
 Another definition:
