care and even then the results are
not always satisfactory.
Still another advantage of rearing
spring colts is the fact that weaving

Horses. like other domestic ami
mails, are highly artificial products.
However, the greatest success is at
tanned by raising them as nearly as
possible in their natural state. Plenty
of green grass. sunshine, exercise and
the added milk production of the mare
are the principal reasons why spring
foals are best.
On the other hand, many farmers
who advocate breeding for fall colts,
claim that they can get better service
out of their mares during the spring S
work. On my own farm have never
been able to see much in this claim.

PREVENT DISEASES
OF GARDEN CROPS
Foundation of Success Next Year
viii Depend Upon Pure Seed
and Good Soil.

Q3y +. c. STAKMAN, Assistant in Path
oogy. Minnesota College of Agricul-
ture)
If 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 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
a 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 is 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 pay
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
a hold, spraying should be done wher-
ever possible. If the soil is diseased
rotation of crops must be resorted to-
Only by such attention can perma-
nent success be assured.

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 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.

No subject is of more interest and

mystery and of early history than
that of the Indian The wrongs of
the Indian are written on his stOlid
face, and has wiped out the happier
lines that once graced his noble
features, and instead of the erect
proud carriage of former days, we
see him sitting alone bordering
over and over again, "Why?"
"Why?" The great mind that saw
his Maker in all nature, heard Him
speak his love in the rustic
of the leaves of the trees
the bloom of the flowers His wrath
in the thunder and lightnings is
almost obsolete and in his place
stands the modern Indian with
mixed blood, a wasted heritage, try
ing to initiate the manners of the
white man, not a will but because
of the higher power of the white
race. In AS Told In the Hills" the
true representative OF the American
Indian is seen in all their natural
grace, poetry of movement and

% YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually 90 together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that / could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened. tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned II it does not help you.
