In, practice, how- ever, it is feund. that the foals of work mares often outgrow those of the idle mares. Theawork mare's foal ie given better care, aud that is pro- bably the secret, 4.8 the foal that runs out all the time is apt to be neglected. It usually gets no grain until about weaning time or afterward, and it is exposed to the daily torment of blood -sucking flies.. On the other hand, the work mare's foal is generally shut up in a partial- ly darkened box stall by day, so as to be handy for suckling the mare at noon, and for the further reason of keeping it from trying to break through barbed-wire fences in trying to reach the mare. The dark staI•1 keeps the flies away. At night the mare and foal are turn- ed together in the pasture, where the youngster runs and plays, and thus gets the necessary exercise. The work mere'e foal is also handy at the barn three times a clay 'when the other horses are fed, ,and et naturally comes in for its share of oats. Doubtless the idle mare supplies her foal with the greater flow ofamilk but the practical outcome is that her foal frequently does not grow so fest as the theoretically less favored week mare's foal.

It is not nature's way, Mit we are.not doing things according to the undisturbed natural procedure when we farm high-priced land to the limit of production. We keep horses for the work they do. We know the horses that do the f•avin work can also reproduce, and thus replace thelnselves and supply a surplus of horse -power for sale. If one farmer manages, it successfully, so can an- other. We will eventually weed out the mares and the families of mares that prove to be shy breeders when sub-, jectecl to the constant and strenuous exercise whIch farm work Imposes. We will discard one by one the mares which habitually lose their foals be- cause 'of ‚hard work during preg- tunny. Farmers will gradually learn of the limitations of safety in working in -foal mares. But the absolute ecotomy in working brood mares, and the peofit from breeding work mares, will certainly bring the horse - breeding business in Canada to tale practical and satisfactory basis, end selection will eliminate the Mares that do not fit the system, aOf For pig feeding nothing combines with corn to give more satisfactory tesults than skim -milk.

Hay and fee.ding stuffs often contain weed seeds, some of which are liable to find their way into the manure heap and eventually on to tha land. Seine seeds can pass through the bodies of animals and afterwards germinate. By the action of the wind. Many seeds, such as these of dandelion and ta,istle, are furnished with a tuft of hairs which enables. thezn to float in the air for long distaaces. In other eases the seeds or even the -whole plant may be blown over the frozen surface of the snow.
