ing of vMages and small towns.
The acetylene lighting plant con-
sists of a gas generator, gas service
piping, and gas" jets or chandeliers
-
The generators vary in size accord-
ing to amount of gas required, one
for the hot d being, of course, much
smaller tliatt that required for a large
institution or village. The chief
parts of the genrator are; Water
chamber, carbide holder, gas holder,
gas filter, gas washer, gas intake
pipe, feed pipe, safety vent, sludge
agitator sad automatic carbide feeder
device. The geleerater for a home
requires only a' few square feet of
space, as it is very com.pactly con-
structed; It ie usuallY placed in the
basement, and it is very important
that it be kept safe from frost.
The operation of the plant is as
follows: The chemical Aubstance tested
for making the gas is ealcium car-
bide, the same material that is used
In bicycle lamps, for instance. Auto-
' mat -Italie' this chemical is fed into
the water chamber as fast as the gag
ia oiled in lights. In.contaef vrifli the
water it forms a gas known as ace-
tylene gas, which colleets in the gas
holder from which is passe l§ through
imall iron piped to the lights. In the'
meat Modern plants no gas can pos-
sibly .be.generated,except as it le re-

sionally and every care taken to keep
it in first-class working order. The!
directions that come with the plant
should be followed accurately and
religiously. The _writer knows a eelet
eral plants owned by farmers for
many years, and in all eases under
proper care the results have been
very satisfactory. What does it
cost? This question can be an-
swered very generally as costs
vary with size of plant, etc. In gen-
eral I would say the initial cot
would be about $200, including gen-
erator, pipes, chandeliers and the
work of installation for the average -
sized farm home. The carbide for' a
year will cost in the neighborhond
or $12 to $15. Detailed information
regarding installation, etc., will be
answered upon request by the • vriter.

Winter Care of kregriant Mares.
Those vrito have had experience 1,1
hersebreeding have niotieed that a
considerable percentageof the spring
colts, especially those born before
the mares are on pasture, are weakly,
often not able to stand, and el:me-
th-31es -without sufficient ambition to
iturse when held up and the teat in-
troduced into the mouth. It will also
be observed that foals of this de-
scription are usually tb.ose of dams
that have been pampered during the
winter months -those that have been
well fed, and kept in the stable most
of the time without exercise.
The pregnant mare should be well
fed and given regular exercise or
light work. The idea that she should
net be well fed ie not uncommon.
The foetus is daily increasing in size.
This growth does not take place
without nutriment. The nutriment
must be supplieid by the blood bt the
dam, end, as nutriment is not a nor-
mal product of the blood, but is sup-
plied by the food -the animal 'eats, we
can readily see that the pregnant
animal has not only herown tissues
to nourish., but also those 0! a grow-
ing -foetus, which, in the latter
months Of gestation is no small mat-
ter. Hence we see that the pregnant_
mare requires more food ..than her
non -pregnant sister of the same size
that is doing the stro.e work. 'Good hay
and oats are the foods to be relied
upon to provide nourishment, and
• these should be fed in -quantities

In addition she should be -given a

to be given all the good water shee
will drink 'at least three times daily,
A pregnant mare should, where
•possible, be provided with a large,
tomfortable box stall when in the
;table. This, we may say,, is necese
mry after the ninth month of gesta-
:ion, as parturition may take place
it any time after this. -J. H. R.,

The Kaiser of the Huns has been
compared to the Praying Mantis,
which "preys with an "e' instead of
an 'a'," and there has seldom been
ate apter 'comparison in the laittory
of oratory.
Around this log -legged insect,
comnion in Africa, innumerable
legends have gathered, and all be-
cause it walks along upon four of its
six slender ambulatory legs, with its
head unlifted and ite two remaining
forelegs outstretched.
From very ancient times it has
been believed that these insects indi-
cated, by the gestures of their fore-
limbs, the road that a lost wanderer
In the desert ought to take. Ilene
they were called Mantes, or sooth-
sayers. But a stAll commoner VIOW
is that there insects, are very relig-
iouely inclined. Hence they are
known as praying or preaching In-
sects, and are supposed to be habitu-
ally engagea in praying to or in
praising the Deity.
According to a very ancient
legend, St. 'Francis Xavier, on seeing
a Mantis moving slowing along with
forelegs raised as if in devotion,
•desired it to sing the praises of God,
vrhiela it immediately did in. a bean-

- The ancient Greeks invested this
Insect with supernatural powers
and the Turks and Arabs insist that
It always prayers with its faee to-

Mohammedan.
Among the Provencals of Southern
France it Is known as the Erie Dieu,
and Hottentots regard its alighting

it is variously known as the nun, the
preacher and the eaint, but 'these

On the contrary, the Mantis is an

A translator of the Bible into the
New Guinea toffgue wanted a proper
idiom for the phrase, "Far be it ,
from me to do this thing." He eon -
suited a learned native, who replied,
"1 understand. We have the precise
Idiom; we say:- 'May I speak to my -
1 mother-in-law before I will do this _
; " That sounded rather lilvt a .
Joke to the translator, but it wasn't,
for in that land of .--.trange taboos one
of the unpredonaele sins is for a
man to open hie Iips to his wife's
mother.
