Blame it on the Tire

He didn't pump it full enought though
all the air is free;
He left it soft and spongylike and
scooted on with glee;
He skidded and he gridded and whoOp-
ed through dust and mire,
And when it burst
He cursed and cursed
And blamed it on the tire.
He drove it on the street car tracks
with confidence superb;
He scraped it on the lampposts and
he scraped it on the curb;
He slammed it and he damned it any
way he might desire,
And when it popped,
Right out he hoped,
And blamed it on the tire.
He cut it on some broken glass, but
said that didn't hurt;
He kept right on through sand and
mud and filled the cut with dirt.
1t spotted there and rOtted there and
soon he howled in ire,
When up it blew
He blew up, too,
And blamed it on the tire.
He put on chains that ground and
chewed and gouged into the
tread;
He knew his wheels were out OF line,
But what of that?" he said.
He whizzed along and sized along,
he picked up nails and wire,
And when it banged
His fists he whanged,
And blamed it on the tire.
Who is this man? Go ask the boys
Who meet him every day.
Go ask the boys who have to hear
the things he has to say,
He bores in and he roars in with
words of angry fire.
Though he's to blame,
It's all the same
He blames it on tho tire.

MARES IN FOAL
They Need Exercise and Good Feed
to Keep Them Healthy and to In
sure Strong FOals.

The mare will be healthier and the
foal stronger at birth if she is used at
slow, light work nearly every day.
Also parturition will be easier. If it
is possible to work a mare, she should
in the summer be turned in an open
pasture where she can get exercise,
fresh aid, and nutritious feed. Her
feed should supply the demand for the
maintenance of her own body and
also for the development of the fetus.
The ration, therefore, should contain
a little more protein and ash than
that demanded by working gelding.
The proportions of these should be in
creased slightly toward the last of the
pregnant period. II the mare is idle
in winter, most of the feed may be
roughage, but a heavier ration must
be fed when work is done. The quaint
ty of feed is determined by the size and
condition of the animal, whether thin
or fat, sick or well, by the appetite, by
the amount of work done, by indivi-
duality, condition of the droppings,
and whether the animal is easy or
hard to keep. The following sugges-
tons for feeding mares in foal are
from Farmers Bulletin 500, "Horse
Breeding Suggestions for Farmers,
recently issued by the United States
partment of Agriculture.
Grains
Oats is the best grain for the horse;
it is a light, palatable, and balanced
feed. Corn is a good grain, but is used
to better advantage if it forms only
from one-third to one-half of the grain
ration of the brood mare. If wheat
is fed, it must be given ground and
in small quantities. Barley is a good
horse feed; it is more bulky than
wheat and nearer like oats than corn
in composition. Barley is often cook
ed and fed once or twice a week in
the evening for it's medicinal qualities
Bran is an almost essential horse feed
Bran is an almost essential horse feed
It is a regulator and a preventive Of
overlooking. It is bulky and palatable
and lightens the ration. Soy beans
and cowpeas are relished by horses
and when accessible will serve as q

useful addition to the grain feed for
mares in foal. They are relatively
rich in protein, and consequently COM
bine we'll with corn.
ROughage
Timothy hay is popular roughage
for horses. Bronze grass makes good
hay which is equal to timothy hay in
feeding value. Orchard grass, if cut
in early bloom, is equal to the best of
hay grasses, and carries considerably
more crude protein than timothy.
Meadow fescue is not so valuable as
timothy for horses. Sudan-grass hay
is a safe feed for mares, and numer-
Gus native prairie grasses furnish hay
that is equal to timothy. Glover hay
is likely to be dusty, but it has great
fattening qualities. Millet is not a
safe feed for mares in foal. Corn
fodder frequently is used to feed idle
horses in the winter, but there is not
enough nutrition in it alone for mares
in foal. The same thing is true in a
greater degree Of straw If either
is fed, good quality hay also should
be fed. Unthreshed coWpea or soy
bean hay is also a valuable roughage
which is relished by horses. Even
the threshed hay contains consider
able nutrition. 1t should not be fed
to brood mares if it contains any mold.
Alfalfa hay makes an excellent feed
for mares if it fed once a day and
timothy or corn folder given at the
other feeding. Occasionally alfalfa
I hay is not properly cured, causing it
to mold badly, in which case it should
not be fed to the horses. Farmers
/ have reported occasionally that alfalfa
causes the kidneys to act too freely,
but it is likely that this trouble will
not be noticed if the alfalfa does not
make up over One-half OF the rough
age.
Succulence
Succulent feeds are those which are
juicy, and are easily aSsimilated. Such
feeds have a cooling, laxative effect on
the digestive system and stimulate ap-
petite The most common succulent
feeds on farms are grass, carrots, ruta-
bagas, sugar beets, and silage, Grass
although of a succulent nature, is
generally used as the entire ration
through the summer if the mares are
idle. If they are worked, grass usual
ly forms a supplement to the hay and
grain.

had been satisfactorily adjusted.
Such things as placing emery dust

business partners, but separated be-
cause of Weinigcr's attentions to Mrs.
Goold. Later Mrs. Goold the mother
of several children, eloped to Texas

Goold because of the children.
