Concerning brood mares, there Is no
danger of working them in foal provid­
ed they are properly handled, says a
writer in the Breeder's Gazette, Chica­
go. A mare will be better if worked and
will produce more vigorous foal*. How­
ever, Judgment should be exercised in
working mares heavy In foal. They
abould not be required to haul heavy
loads over muddy road* or work in
tbe Held where they would be required
to turn In aoft, mucky ground, as they
might strain themselves and cause se­
rious injury. The man who uses more
than one team on his farm can easily
give the lighter work to the mares in
foal and In this manner get substan­
tially tbe same work out of them as
apy other team.
It is not a good plan to turn mares
in the pusture with other horses when
heavy in foal unless they are known to
get along with them. A kick may kill
a colt. Brood mures need about the
Mine feed as other horses, but when
nearing foaling time it is better not
to feed much corn or other heating
food. Many think mares when ut
work, as well as other horses, should

The origin of “rotten cotton gloves,"
a phrase which for some years be­
longed to tbe slang of England and
America, Is worth relating. At a time
when John le Hay was playing at the
Prince of Wales’ he was "command­
ed” to give his ventrlloqulal perform­
ance at a birthday entertainmeut at
Sandringham.
His two figures, the usual squeaky
old lady and the usual rude old man,
had been newly dressed for the occa­
sion, that their clothes mlglit not suf­
fer too keenly by comparison with the
rich surroundings. But when Mr. le
Hay bad placed them in position and
was about to begin bis “show” he
fouud to his disgust that ills costumer
had forgotten to change the old man’s
dirty cotton gloves for a pair of new
kids.
The tone of shabbiness this gave to
the male figure was too conspicuous
to be ignored by poor Mr. le Hay, and
hi an eternal half minute his quick
wit found a way out of the trouble for
him.
"A nice thing,” remarked the male
doll, looking around at the royal audl-
enee with alarm, "bringlug me to a
swell house like this in these terrible
gloves!”
This caused so much amusement
that tbe i ventriloquist decided to make

1908, she freshened again, and her rec­
ord for this third year is 17,253.2
pounds of milk containing 954.1 pounds
of fat.
It goes without saying that she was
well born, but none of her immediate
ancestors was especially renowned,
Ida of St. Lambert being her great-
greut-grandum. Indeed, so far as can
lie learned, the others left no records
from which one could predicate the
wonderful producing ability she has
demonstrated. About all that can be
said is that her dam, Pogls Irene II.,
was less than twenty-three mouths old
when Jacoba was born, that her
grand« m, Pogls Ireue, was three years
old when Pogls Irene II. was born and
that this grandum was a heifer’s first
calf. It would seem, therefore, that the
more or less widely disseminated opin­
ion that a heifer’s first calf is of in-
feror quality has no foundation in fact
and that early breeding does not neees-

carriage horses on au American foun­
dation. When this experimental work
was taken up carriage horse breeding
was decided upon because such horses
are, as a rule, the most valuable on the
market and as a result of the strong
d< mand the supply was gradually di­
minishing. Most Important of all, how­
ever, was tbe feeling that steps should
be taken to correct tbe practice of cas­
trating valuable stallions and selling
valuable mares for other than breed
lug purposes. Among the number of
stallions and mares purchased was tbe
stallion Carmon (formerly shown as
