Last week a proposal was publicly
made in London by Mrs. Edward Lyt-
Teton that there should be a general
token of mourning for those who in the
glorious exploits of British arms in

King and country. This proposal was
to the effect that those families who
lose loved ones in the war should wear
purple armlet bearing in gilt letters

Lansdowne and other ladies have an
nounced that for those of their relatives
who die ut the front they "will not show
their sorrow as for those who come 10 a

of mourning will be restricted TO the

III A. Gossard, writing of the work
In ohio of the endeavor to save the
crops from the attacks of the chinch
bug. says:
Each female is capable of laying
500 or more eggs. The period of egg-
LAYING for the individual lasts from
ten days to three weeks, and for the
brood from five to six wee S. The
eggs hatch in from twelve to twenty
two days. and the young require forty
days or more TO become adults after
issuing from the eggs. 1t thus re-
qures two months, or few days
less, to pass from the newly-laid egg
to the adult condition
The eggs are laid on the roots OF
the plants on which the bugs are
feeding, at or just below the surface
of the ground; or they may be laid on
the surface about the bases of the
plants, or in the leaf-sheaths OF
grasses; in short in almost any place
whore the surroundings are cool and
damp.

THE MARE AND HER COLT AT
WEAVING TIME.

Weaning the colt is not simply an
act of separating the colt from its
dam, but it is a matter that will re-
quire careful feeding and manage
ment Of both, just the same as
changes in other conditions demand
different rations and handling.
From fOul TO six months is the
usual age at which the cold should be
weaned. OF course, there are eXcep-
tons to this rule, some doing better
if weaned earlier, where the mare S
milk does not seem to agree with the
colt, and some requiring the dams s
milk for longer period on account
of the colt being puny or unhealthy,
but in most cases this is the proper
range of age for weaving.
However, if the mare has been re-
bred and is thought to be pregnant,
the colt should not be allowed to
suckle over four or five months at
the fartheSt, as the composition of the
milk begins to change at this period,
and will WELD a deteriOrating effect
on the health of the sucking colt,
| at the same time tending to rob the
| colt in fOal Of the nOuriShment that
| should be transmitted to it, while the
complications caused by these unfaV
orable conditions also detract from
| the health Of the mare.
In weaving the colt, one must be
| guided partly by the amount OF mix
| produced by the mare: her adapta
bility to dry up quickly and prop
| erly, without damage to the udder.
These are the points that should
| be given special attention in connec-
ton with handling the mare. and
while some will require several days
| Of gradual separation from the colt
| before the weaving IS made perman
ent most dams viii stand the more
| sudden weaving.
| To guard against mistakes in this
respect, let the colt suck only at nigh,
and in the morning for two days then
| allow it to suck only once a day for a
| couple of days. Next. let it suck
| every other day for four days, then
| shut it away from the mare
| permanently.
| At this time the mare should be
| milked three times a day. or oftener
! if necessary. Milk her just before
| the colt sucks every time.

ply to make the weaving gradual for
both dam and colt, and to keep the
fever and heat sucked out Of the
udder.
After the colt has been permanently
removed from the mare her teatS
and udder should be given a thin
coating of homemade soap, which
will assist in the drying up process
and also prevent inflammation of the
teats and udder. Again. if the colt
should chance to break out and 90
with the mare, the soap would not
be at all inviting for it to take hold
of and is apt to prevent it from SUCK
ing.
Right here we may mention the i'm
pOrtanCe of making sure that the
mare and colt do not get together
again after the weaving once is be-
gun as this makes it much more diff
fiCult than it was at the start, and
one may be the whole fall and winter

When the final separation of the
dam and its colt is made for weaving,
it will be a good plan to Confine the
colt in box stall, where it cannot
injure itself. next to the dam.
In this way it will quickl. become
accustomed to doing without milk

that it will not fret much.

corn. Also, have a little clean salt
where it can reach it at all times, and
be sure to keep vessel Of clean. cool
water before it.
If fed and watered plentifully, it IS

and remedied at once. The tendency
