ATTENTION At F0ALING time
Nothing Better Than Alfalfa or Glover
Hay and Bran for Rich Bone
Forming Material.

It is undoubtedly the best practice
to work the mare regularly until with.
in two weeks of foaling time. After
that make the work lighter but keep
up the exercise. The mare at this time
requires more feed than otherwise,
and it should be rich in bone-forming
matter. There is nothing better than
alfalfa or clover hay and bran. AT
this time corn should form at least
one.third of the ration. never more,
and oats one-third.
At foaling time cleanliness and
quietness are two most important re.
quisites. If previous to pasture time,
a comfortable, roomy box stall should
be provided. This, however, should be
thoroughly disinfected, as should be
the bedding which is placed in it.
1t is very important that the colt
should be nursed after birth. For ten
days after foaling it is very advisable
not to work the mare, but simply to
exercise her. The colt should not fol-
low the mare while she Is at work, as
this is too hard for the colt and does
not do the mare any good. 80

OVERLOOKING ROSES

Everblooming roses should be at
their best during the fall months.
Tea roses must be fed literally; old
yotted manure, cow-manure Is best
but bone meal is good.
Dig several big spoonfuls OF fer
lilizer about the roots OF each rose
planted, replacing the mulch. 4
Cut back the blooming branches as
soon as the flowers fade; work the
soil under them and give good soak
ing with manure water early in Sep.
TENDER and you will have abundant
bloom until frost.
Sharp pruning and good feeding is
the sure means OF getting fall roses,
Keep down all insect pests with spray
Of sulpho-tc bacco soap used according
to directions on the package.
A tendency to blight Of buds at this
season means insects at the roots
Dissolve peck Of fresh lime in a bar
rel OF water and give the ground a
good soaking with the solution, using
only clear water on top. ...
When pruning the roses, use all cut
tings four or five inches long for root
ing. Insert the cutting In well-worked
soil, leaving one eye above the sur
face, firm the earth about them, give
good soaking, and turn over them q
glass fruit jar, pressing it into the
ground. Draw the soil up around the
lar but not over 1T, keep the ground
moist. and leave until spring.
Rose cuttings may be rooted In
moist sand in any warm place, but the
sand must not be allowed to dry out
