FEED AND CARE OF
THE MARES IN FOAL
Good leguminous hay. well cured,
bright and free from dust and molds.
Is an essential in the proper mulnte-
uance of brood mares, writes John Ma
son in the National Stockman. It should
not form the sole ration of roughage.
Some timothy or pruirie hay and some
bright corn fodder may also be fed.
but both are f>oor stuff for in foal
mares. Cornstalks are especially bad
food for mares in foul. They contain
far too much absolutely indigestible
matter that must be carried bodily out
of the system to make it right to rely
on it. Corn fodder alone will not main
tain horses of any sort. There is not
enough nutriment in it Besides, weath
er soured corn fodder Is infested with
molds and spores and other harmful
elements that should never be intro
duced into so delicate a digestive sys
tem as that o f the horse Corn and
oats, half and half, with about one-
fourtb of bran by weight, together
with a ration of clover or alfalfa and
timothy hay. half and half, will make
n splendid food for in foal mares, sud
once they are accustomed to it it should
never be suddenly changed.

Estacada Loses
To Wilsonville
The £stacada baseball team
which up to Wednesday after
noon was the only undefeated
team in the Chautauqua League,
hit the toboggan Wednesday af
ternoon against the Wilsonville
team, being defeated 12 to 3.
For the first four innings, the
locals played good ball, with no
opponent getting further than
first base, but thereafter, sad to
relate, Estacada tried football,
marbles, handball and golf, with
the result that Wilsonville took
the game.
John Moger, the local’s reli
able southpaw, pitched a good
game, but ovying to the ragged
support, finally retired in favor
of Smith and Bronson, neither
of whom were able to save the
day.
Neal Bronson and Wilbur Sim
mons were the only locals who
seemed to be able to bat against
Wilsonville, Simmons getting a
three bagger, with Neal getting
safe hits.
This leaves all teams in the
league tied with a percentage of
500 per cent, so the result of the
series is as much in doubt today
as it was a week ago.

pounds per day for each mare will do
finely. There Is something about the
good, old fashioned red carrot that is
especially grateful to the equiiie sys
tem.
Oftentimes In the depths of the cold
winter weather mares become a fillet
ed with a sort of ii d gestion most fre
quentl.v those that have boeu forced
to forage for their living in the stalk
fields or have l»een otherwise fed a lot
o f corn stover. Purgatives must not
be given pregnant mares, but the
homely old red carrot, fed In verv
small quantities at tir*t and gradually
Increased, will dire the trouble if
enough grain is fed to insure a main
tenance of strength. There are tnauy
other ways in which in foal mares
may be fed so as to insure the produc
tion of trong. straight, fully, correctly
developed foals, but the one suggested
Is the simplest diet that can lie tie

Sharpening a Pocketknife.
Cutlers have certain rules for sharp-
| ening razors, pocketknives. etc. “ A
razor.” said one of the craft quoted
by the S ientifle American, •’must be
! laid Hat on the hone, because it is hol-
| low ground and requires a fine ed e
But a pocketknife re«iulies a still' edge.
| and the moment you lay It Hat on a
stone, so as to touch the polished side,
you injure tbe edge. It must be held
I at on angle of twenty to twenty-five
I decrees and have an edge similar to a
chistd.”
Mrs. W. A. Wash and daugh
ter, Miss Eva, o f Estacada. left
Thursday for Seattle, where they
will spend a few weeks visiting
among relatives, later going: to
one o f the nearby Sound resorts
for ati outing.
Uniting tha Family.
How many households have a fam
lly hour—a definite time iu the week
when all the members of tbe family
gather in perfect serenity for an inter
val o f genuine communion? Although
civilization brings many advantages in
its train, it has tbe great fault of tend
ing to disrupt family Intercourse. Each
member has too many individual activ
ities.
Fathers have their business;
sons, their business or education; moth
ers. their domestic duties or social oc
cupations; daughters, their business,
their education or their social life.
All these things are right mid worthy
in themselves, but they do not tend to
weld the family. If mem tiers of a fam
ily will make it a rule to devote them
selves for one hour in the week wholly
to one another the spirit of family life
will be quickened and strengthened
Often the members of a family pursue
parallel courses that do not Intersect.
It is mere platitude to point out tliut
great events—travel, marriage, death
and the like—must inevitably cause
disintegration. But so long as the fam
ily is together under oue roof the spirit
of union and common interests should
be fostered.—You til's Companion.

A Bird’« Barbed Wire Fences.
There Is In Central America a brown
w ren about tbe size of a canary which
builds a curious nest. It selects u
small tree with horizontal branches
growing close together. Across two of
the branches It lays sticks fastened to
get her with tough fiber until a plat
form about six feet long by two feet
wide has been constructed. On the
end of fids platform nearest tbe tree
trunk It then builds a huge dome
*ba|M»d nest a foot or so high with
thick side« o f Interwoven thorn«. A
covered passageway 1« then made from
the nest to tbe end of the platform In
as crooked a manner as possible.
Across tbe outer end as well as at
short Intervals along the iuside o f this
tunnel are placed cunning little fences
o f thorns with Just space enough for
the owners to pass through On going
out this opening is closed by the own
er by placing thorns across the gate
way. and thus the safety of the eggs
or young Is assured.
