Narnisk. and Enamel.

Paints which dry with a high luster
or gloss are called enamels. These
are made from zinc oxide ground in
varnish. Varnish is produced from
fossil, resins such as copal, kauri, etc.
These resins, which originally flowed
from trees, have been deposited for
centuries in the earth. They are mined
in Africa and New Zealand and are
found in big lumps.-Popular. Science

FEEDS FOR PREGNANT MARES
Nourishing Ration Previous to Foal-
ing Is of Importance for Good
Start for the Colt

Feeding the pregnant mare good
nOurishing ration previous to fOaling
is of prime Importance if rapid de-
velOpment of the young colt is ex-
pected. a good start in life is half
the battle and only by being large of
bone and strong of muscle when born
can the colt develop into n grOwthy
horse. A proper balancing of the
mares feed will do much toward
making a strong colt at BIRTH
Oats form the basis of the mares
ration. They have high nutrftive
value, but still do not supply an ex-
cess of fat as would corn. However.
it is well to mix the two using about
three times as much oats as corn by
weight. Olmeal or bran in small
amounts once daily will keep the d.
geStive tract open and act as general
conditioner. With the present high
feed prices the former will probably
be the more profitable of the two.
Any kind of hay may be fed de-
pending on the availability and price.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Farmers can make the cultivation
of corn most effective and go Il long
way toward assuring themselves of
harvesting good crop by getting the
start of weeds. When these robber
plants are small, before their roots
have taken firm hold and before they
have used much soil moisture. they
can be destroyed by Il light stirring of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however. deep cul
tivatiOn only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only means more labor.
but it cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying many corn
roots.
If corn land has been properly pre-
pared deep cultivation is not advisable.
1t should never be given close to the
plants after they are foot high as
much harm would be done by breaking
the roots.
To get an early start of the weeds,
in many sections or in seasons when
seed terminates slowly. it is advisable
to harrow once or twice or otherwise
to cultivate the field before corn comes
up. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary and it is poor man.
agement TO allow grass and weeds to
rob the corn of this moisture.
Aside from destroying weeds, time
ly cultivation is beneficial in prevent
ing the loss of moisture by evapOra-
ton and also in fastening the warm
ing of the soil. The loss of soil mOis-
ture by evaporation continues much
longer from a compact, damp surface
than from loose, dry surface. and
the evaporation tends to keep the soil
cold.
In Northern localities and at high
attitudes the conservation of heat is
frequently as important as the con-
servation of moisture. Luckily, both
heat and moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat is
wasted in evapOrating or wasting soil
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil heat and soil
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
Cultivating after heavy rains is a
good practice. To be most effective
the cultivating should be done as soon
as the surface is dry enough to work
