Mares Must Be in Good
Flesh Before FoaIing

At this time of the year care Of
= the Kentucky farm brood mare so
she will be in good flesh, is
the most important thing in prepar-
ing for the arrival Of the colt, is the
statement Of w. s. Anderson, Of the
Animal Husbandry Department Of
the State College Of Agriculture. II
the mare is not in good flesh she
should be examined for bad teeth,
her feet inspected for defects and
her coat Of hair for vermin. Her
feed should also be changed so that
she is receiving good supply OF
bran mash mixed with linseed oil
meal in her grain ration and if nee
essary more grain and roughage
supplied. By foaling time she should
be in good condition, in order to be
able to properly nurse her colt, ac-
cording to Mr.. Anderson.
Further suggestions by Mr.. An
derson on the care of the mare at
this time included the statement that
as the time for foaling approached
she should either be placed alone or
where she would not have more than
one or two quiet horses with her.
Little work should be given the mare
for three or four weeks before the
time for the arrival of the colt, and
If it is necessary for her to be put
in the harness she should do nothing
that is of a severe or rough ma
tnre.
Unless it is warn enough for her
ITO foal in the pasture, the mare
should be provided with comfort
able box stall. The stall should be
cleaned to the solid ground and it
covered with Stacked or powdered
lime, according to Mr.. Anderson.
The walls should be sprayed with a
disinfectant of whitewash and
thick bed Of straw placed on the
floor of the stall.
Infection of the navel of the colt
may be prevented by busting it with
powdered lime, according to the re-
commentator Of livestock special
lists. For the first few days after
the arrival of the colt the mare
should be fed lightly after which she
should have plenty Of feed or enough
for herself and an additional guam
tity to make milk for the colt. If
she has done well she may be rebred
after eight or nine days.
Mares with colts at their side
should not be given any work for
two or three weeks after the arrival
of the foal and severe work only
after 60 days. If the mother is re-
CURED to work after this length of
time she should be given extra feed.
According to Mr.. Anderson the best
treatment for the colt is to leave it
in the box stall, or turn it out, to
run with other colts on the farm,
while its mother is at work. 1t is
only necessary for the foal to nurse
during the noon hour when it stays
with its mother at night.

You have to roll with the world
if you wish to get to the bright side,
and incidentally give it push when
the wheels run slow.

for he'll soon blind himself with the

Doom, Holland, April l2.-Former
Empress Augusta Victoria of Germany
died here. BY a strange coincidence,
the end came just one year after she
suffered her first serious attack of
heart disease.
A cablegram from Amsterdam to
London says the body of the former
Empress of Germany will be buried
at oPttsdam Saturday. That state
ment gives ris to two questions.
1t was while she was preparing to
enter the house of Doom, the present
home of rhe former emperor of Ger
many, after her long residence at Am
erongen, that she was stricken with
what at the time was believed to be a
fatal attack. That was on April IL,
1870. For few days there were
reports that her death was mOmen-
tafily expected, but she rallied, and
accompanied her husband to Doom on

Interested In the Poor.
Augusta Victoria was notable chiefly
for her keen interest in charitable
work and in the betterment of the liv-
ing conditions of the German poor. Ii
has been said of her that she was rot
an especially gifted woman, and that
she cared more for the simple duties
of home life than for royal functions.
1t is not known that she ex-

or that she desired to do so. Her
talents seemed instead to be directed
to the task of becoming a helpful wife
and devoted mother to her sons and

aim the former emperor attested fire.

KEEP YARDS CLEAN

Moscow needs a thorough cleaning,
and the alleys and yards need to be
kept free of noxious weeds. The law
requires this and pride prompts it.
People living in town should take as
much pride and interest in keeping
their residence lots free from nOxiOus
weeds as they expect the farmer to
exercise in keeping his farm and the
adjacent roads free from these pests.
An amusing incident which is really
a joke on the editor occurred here a
few days ago. anent this proposition.
c. L. Butterfield, who takes great
pride in a clean town, was discussing
the advisability of starting a campaign
to keep yards and alleys and streets
clean and lawns moved. He thought
the newspaper ought to take the mat
ter up. He was asked why don't you
see the editor and ask his coopera-
tion?" to which Mr.. Butterfield re-
piled: "Why, the editor has the most

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION?

Some time ago the Liberty theatre
contracted for the appearance there
of two small boys, twin brothers, from
Spokane, who had given athletic ex-
hibitions at Spokane and many other
places, for an athletic exhibition IN
The Liberty theatre here The exhib-
ition was advertised and a large num-
Der of persons bought tickets for the
show. The sheriff forbade the boys
to appear, under a state law which
forbids minors under 16 years to ap-
pear in public entertainments.
This week two small children, girls,
said to eight and 10 years old, are
giving an exhibition in the chautau-
qua, and officers have not stopped nor
forbade it. Why? The law is sup
posed to be impartial but why is its
enforcement so partially administer
ed? II the law forbids boys under 16
to appear in public entertainments in
Idaho, does it permit girls of tender
years to violate the law, if they APP
pear under the auspices of the chau-
tauaua? The people are entitled to
an explanation of this apparent favor
itism.
Sunday shows, where admission is
charged, are prohibited in Moscow.
Will the chautauqua operate on Sun
day? If it does, will it charge admis-
sion and thus "commercialize the
Sabbath" or will the shows be free?
If it is against the law and public
policy" for children to appear in a
brick building is it not against the
law for them to appear in tent? 1T
the people who live in Moscow, make
their homes here, buy all their sup
plies here, pay taxes and license and
operating expenses here are forbidden
to give shows on Sunday, why should
a travelling troupe, non-residents of t.;
the state, non-tax-payers and people
who spend nothing here but take
away from here money given by peo
pie OF Moscow, be permitted to oper-
ate on Sunday? These are public
questions of interest and should be
discussed or explained, publicly. Let
us have the explanation.

disreputable looking yard in town.
The sad part of it is that he was
more than half right. But the editors
home in town has been closed for two
months while the elitor is living in
the country, few miles from town,
which is his only excuse for not hav-
ing the lawn moved. But the editor
believes Mr.. Butterfield will find his
farm about as nearly free from weeds
as any farm in this section, and he
promises to have the lawn in town
moved, if for no other purpose than
to set a good example and make his
advocacy of clean town carry more
weight.
