Proper Feed and Care
of the Pregnant Mare

.AN many farms in Washington
" there are mares at the present
time which are with foal. So far, the
mares need Of additional nutrients
to develop the unborn youngster has
not been very great. From this time
on the amount of nOurishment that
the fetus will demand will constantly
increase, since the greatest growth Is
made during the last few months Of
pregnancy. Hence the present Is the
time to pay attention to the ration
which the brood mare is receiving.
At this season, a pregnant mare
represents two animals. OverwOrk
at this stage is equivalent to starving
the colt before 1t Is born, states Pro-
fessor William Hislop, animal hus-
bandman of the State Experiment
Station, at Pullman. II the mare is
forced to do large amount Of work,
one or the other must suffer. OF
course exercise is essential.
Furthermore, the pregnant marc
can and should do some work, for
entire cessation would be likely to
cause digestive troubles. AS long as
the mare is not overtaxed, she may be
worked moderately to within few
days of foaling with no bad effects.
Because grain-is high there is
very common disposition to save 1t
and to supply the deficiency by using
entirely too much filler" as found
in straw and timothy hay. There is
too much indigestible fiber in such
feeds, and as result the mare has a
staring coat, dull eyes, low spirits,
and a shoddy appearance.
The mare should be 'humored" In
her feeding at this time. The full
ness of the abdominal cavity calls for
concentrated feeds, rather than bulky
ones, and brings out the importance
of feeding three times a day instead
Of twice, which may be all right for
idle horses.
Good, bright alfalfa or heavy mixed
clover and timothy hay, with oats,
bran, and oil meal, fed In the pro-
portion by weight Of six, three, one,
make a most desirable ration. Pro-
tein is highly essential during the
latter part Of the CESSATION period,
while bran will tend to prevent con-
stipation in the mare.
A quiet but roomy box stall that Is
well bedded and free from draughts
should be provided for the act OF
foaling. The loss Of few hours
sleep in assisting the mare to foal, II
necessary, is but a trifle, so be on
hand when the critical time arrives.

Awful 'SpOnsibility.

Two women were absorbingly en-
gagged in an intimate conversation on
the street car No wonder another
woman was much interested when
she overheard the following:
Got a letter from my oil man.
Hadn't heard from him for a long
time. Says he's comm home"
Now, amt that too bad" said the
other consolingly. can you got such
a good start"
"Yes, hate it. Was gettin' along
so WE'LL"
MY experience was tn same. Was
maxim money and liyin' easy, when
my OF man come back. He set aroun'
and ct until my easy time was over"
Then the woman who had received
the letter heaved sigh. "It's an
awful 'sponsibility on a woman,
hayin a husban' at home,' she said.

Making the Best of
Homemade Vinegar

~ LII NlAOSdl vi CiuSl NlACSdI 10
"A now made by commercial plants
to such an extent that the homemade
product is rarely seen and has but
little place in the market.
Apple cider will go through the
normal process of fermentation and
develop vinegar of splendid quality, If
given the proper temperature and
time for development. AS the cider
is stored in the barrels 1t should be
exposed as much as possible to the
air and be kept in temperature
above 50 degrees and below 100 de-
grees.
The best results will be obtained
il the material is kept at a tempera-
ture ranging between 80 and 80 de-
grees. At this temperature it re-
4ulres approximately a year for cider
to develop enough acid to pass as
first-class vinegar. It should have
between and per cent of acid
content, and with the process of max
ing being that of slow ferment in bar
rel quantities, it will seldom reach 6
per cent of acid content.
Ordinary the vinegar that is made
by being permitted to ferment in
barrel quantities must be kept in a
basement or cellar storage where the
high temperature can be obtained. 1t
does not kill the ferment in the vine
gar to pass below 80 degrees in tenn
perature, but 1t retards it's action,
and the longer the material is in the
process Of making, the less valuable
it is and the more difficulties are
liable to be encountered in the work
The best results will be obtained
if the head Of the barrel is taken out
and the barrel left entirely open. 1t
can be stirred to advantage once in
a while, but ordinarily the process of
letting it stand entirely undisturbed
will develop very clear and salts
factory grade Of material.
The mother of vinegar that devel-
ops ordinarily in the top of the bar
rel is Of no special advantage after
1t assumes the form of a condensed
or hard cake. As long as it is in a
loose, Shiny form, it will work fairly
rapidly, but as soon as it assumes
the caked form it may as we'll be re-
moved from the barrel. Ordinarily
ii touched or pressed down on one
side, it will sink to the bottom Of
the barrel.
The live, active mother of vinegar
when collecting appears as a thin or
mucilaginous gelatine-like mass, and
is rapidly reproducing the ferment
yeast that Is making the vinegar. 1t
is not necessary, in all cases, to use
this mother of vinegar to start the
process Of fermentation. 1t Is good
plan, however, to use small quanti-
ties of it for placing in each barrel
of cider to start the process of fer
mentation.
If this is not done a great many
different kinds of bacteria will de-
velop in the cider and not all OF
these will tend directly to the manu-
facture of acetic acid, which is the
valuable acid in vinegar.
The home process Of vinegar man.
ufacture Is slow, but easily handled
and can, in small way, be carried
on very satisfactorily.

Insects That Will
Injure Clover Seed

THE adult Of the clover seed midge
! (Dasyneura leguminicola) is a
tiny delicate midge resembling the
Hessian fly. 1t appears in late Spring
when clover is beginning to head
and by means Of long tail-like
ovipositor it pushes its microscopic
yellOwish eggs in among the hairs
surrounding the seed capsules OF the
developing clover heads. The pink
ish maggots work their way into the
open florets to feed on the seeds.
Their feeding prevents the OPEN
ing of such 'florets and therefore the
heads are irregular. condition
known to farmers as slick heads. "
Toward the end of June these mag
gots drop to the ground where they
cocoon and pupate, and several weeks
later the adults of the Summer brood
appear.
At the time that the heads of the
second crop Of clover are forming
the adult midges become abundant
and repeat the life cycle just given.
There may be two or even three such
generations during the season, the
last maggots doing the most harm
to the seed.
The adult of the clover seed chal-
cid (Bruochophagus funebris) is a
| tiny black wasp which measures
about one-twelfth Of an inch in length
and whose wings are practically vein
less. These adults appear in early
June to deposit their microscopic
eggs in the soft seeds OF the wither-
ing florets.
The maggots develop from these
eggs and work their way into the
center of the seed on which they
feed. When fully grown they pupate
within the seeds and later appear as
adults during August. These place
their eggs in the second growth OF
clover heads and by the time the
late crop is to be threshed for seed
the insects have emerged.
This leaves the seeds hollow SO
that they are easily blown out in
threshing, although the heads in this
case may be we'll filled. AS with the
midge there may be two or three gen.
eratiOns during the season.
Both of these insects are widely
distributed wherever clover Is grown
for seed, and both Of them at times
prove very destructive, affecting from
20 to 80 per cent Of the seed crop

tomologist of the Washington Agri.

| man.
Fortunately the pests can be con-
trolled by harvesting the first cror
OF clover two or three weeks earlier
than usual. The cutting should be
done before the bloom withers, as
at that time the young maggots would
be unable to mature on the cut heads
This destruction of the first brood
carries with it a decided lessening Ol
the late broods, so that when prac
ticed the seed crop may be almost en-
tirely saved.
The early cutting OF the first crol
for hay hastens the development o.
the second cutting, so that when thu

are but few green heads for them tt

Needs of Dry Land
Belt in Washington

DelC IN w dSnlnStOH
THE needs of dry land agriculture
1 in Washington are great. They
may be grouped under four heads, as
follows: Improved Methods Of Till
age; Introduction of livestock; I'M
proved Crops, especially forage crops,
and Better Living Conditions in and
About the Farm Home.
Improved Methods of Tillage.
With reference to the first of these
there is needed considerable
a cunt of investigational work
along the line of moisture require
ments of plants, the handling of soil
to conserve moisture and fertility,
i and prevent blowing. Considerable
investigation has been carried on in
this line, but much remains to be
done. There Is also great need Of the
dissemination among the farmers. of
knowledge already obtained. Inves-
legations in this connection must be
carried on primarily in the dry belt.
The more extensive production OF
livestock will undoubtedly solve many
of the agricultural problems OF this
district. This problem Is one which
calls for propaganda work rather than
| investigation. II can best be made
by rendering assistance to farmers in
obtaining and selecting stock and
giving instruction for the caring of
the same and production of suitable
feed
The state can we'll afford to ex-
pend some money in the introduction
of good stock for breeding purposes
into this district. The use OF this
stock should be carefully supervised
by members Of the department staff,
and the stock placed where it VIII do
the most good.
Improved Crops.
Perhaps the greatest need in the
dry belt at the present time is in
vestigation to determine the forage
crops most suited to the district
New and promising forage crop plants
are constantly being introduced into
the country and being produced by
plant breeders within the country
These should be tested out under the
crop conditions of our dry belt and
distributed among the farmers first
in an experimental way, and later, il
satisfactory, extensively encouraged
This work of crop testing and
breeding Of agricultural plants can be
carried on adequately only by the es
tablishment Of branch experiment
station in the dry belt. This, then
becomes the greatest need Of this dis
trict. The establishment OF such 9
station will go far toward solving
many Of the problems of the district
Improved Living Conditions.

with the dry land agriculture ii
