One thousand cities and towns have reported plans to the central government. The man who invented some- thing to take the bubbles out of wine would have made a bigger hit with the prohibition element, had he made a machine to pull it’s-sting.

Monthly conventions are cementing localities together and President McPartlin is entitled to great credit for his untiring efforts on behalf of the northern country. Develop- A SOMEWHAT GLOOMY VIEW. The Manufacturers’ Record com- the proposition to unite all the corporations of the menting upon country into a political party to hold the balance of power, remarks that this country is ' suffering today from overorganization, social and politi- cal; from a specialization of human activities, leading the individual to center his attraction upon some par- ticular organization supposedly of benefit to his special interests or ambition, and diverting him from the broader view embracing all his fellows and the whole country. This absorptson in specialties nar- rows the mind of the indiyidual and tends to fertilize the fields in which class distinctions, un-American dis- tinctions, dangerous distinctions, flourish rankly. It threatens to pre- vent the well-rounded growth of a government by a sane majority restrained by constitutional law from imposition upon the minor- ity and to expedite the instability of a government by force of mere num- bers, unregulated by reason or by respect for law, or of an equally dan- gerous government by the power of money massed in the hands of a small minority.” But in spite of all these threatened evils the country is going along briskly enough to suit anybody who does not want to kill himself working for riches. l BY THE WAY l Educating a boy for president sometimes ends in the penitentiary. It takes'a good deal of conceit on the part of the judge to decide that a mother is not entitled to her own children, Nobody éver accused a woman of wearing her dresses too long. (The last word refers to time.) It is not going away for the sum- mer that is so pleasant as it is to surprise the neighbors. SCQRE' OF PERSONS' INJURED 8treet Cars in Rear End Collision at St. Paul. 8t. Paul, May 25.—More than twen- ty persons were injured, mostly by flying glass, when a Hamline car, go- ing at good speed, crashed into a St. Paul-Minneapolis car. The rear plat- form of the latter car was demolished and every window in the Hamline car was shattered. Panic reigned among the passengers and they rushed for the entrances of both cars. Fully twenty people emerged from the Hamline car bleed- ing from cuts caused.by bits of flying glass:: Several others were crushed and bruised by being thrown -against seats by the force of the collision.

There- fore hreed sound, symmetrical mares-to sound, symmetrical stal- lions, and colts of like character will be the result, as a rule, There will'be exceptions. Breed draft mares to draft stal- lions. The pinnacle of foolishness is reached by the man who breeds a thousand-pound road mare to a ton stallion; or vice . versa;” expecting both draft and- road qualitiesin the progeny. The inevitable result is mediocrity, nothing to breed to and 1almost nothing to sell. I believe in breeding in line, also. That is, if I have a good grade or pure-bred Clydesdale mare, I should certainly find the’ very best -Clydes- dale stallion I could reach to breed her to, and I would goa long dis- tance to find the best one. So also of Percheron, French Draft or Bel- gians, j This does not mean necessarly that you could 'not geta good colt from.a grade Percheron mare anda Clydesdale stallion. Some of the very best draft colts I have ever seen have resulted from this cross, but then you are done. It is uncertain what criss-crossing of ‘this kind, if continued ' beyond' the first cross, will produce. T had rather breed in line, getting high-grade mares- and geldings of one of the breeds—the one T-liked best. I cannot too strongly emphasize the importance - of using' pure-bred sires that are sound and of excellent conformation. The breeder cannot be too particular in this regard. “Like begets like.” An unsound stallion will likely beget an unsound colt.' Shy away from him, seek a good one, sound one, don’t let a few dollars in service fee or an unreason- able warranty induce you to -use an inferior or unsound stallion. The market demands a drafter that weighs 1600 to 1800 pounds; therefore' you must stint your mares to a stallion ‘that hovers about the tor mark. He should be alert, good style, symmetrical in body, color is not very important, flinty bone, good feet, and should go with a spring- ness and straight ahead. Discard the sluggifh, awkward stallion, the big-headed, pig-eyed, slouchy one. It should be the object of the breeder to improve his stock of rough, $9.40@9.55; good to -choice heavy, $9.55@ ; Dlgs, $9.20@9.65. Sheep—Native, $3.50@5.80; yearlings, $5.00@7.60; lambs, $5.50@8.60. horses. However good your mare may be, try to find ‘a stallion of greater “excellence.” You caunot be too’ particular: about: choosing a sire; * When you breed your mare return her regularly to the stallion until she is safein foal. Care in this respect may avoid great disappointment the next spring when ‘you discover your mare is not in'foal.” You' cannot be too particular about this. Every mare, except one, on our farm ‘is in foal, the result'of our overparticularity. in‘this regard: The mare may be used ‘at farm work during the period of pregnancy, avoiding pulling, or slipping on ice, or-other severe strains.. She' should be fed liberallyon oats, bran and good, clean hay. I feed my brood mares ensilage every day during- the winter and am much pleased with it as a food. Before the date when' the little colt should come prepare a roomy box stall. Disinfect it, bed it with clean straw a-plenty; and let’the mare get used to her new surroundings. ‘It is well to keep pretty. close watch of the mare at foaling time. - You may. save the colt by a little help. After it comes it may need a little assistance ‘to get ‘the first milk from the mother. Not usually, but sometimes, that is the case, and you: can well afford to give the help. Thoroughly disinfect the navel cord and do' it frequently until it is healed. The greatest loss among young. foals ‘is due to the so-called: naval - disease; which results in dullness, swollen- joints and usually death. Feed the mare liberally when she is raising the colt. Oats and' bran and pasture are the best feeds.: The colt will learn to eat some oats and bran at an early age,' if you:' will give him a chance, and will do well asaresult. If you must work the mare, keep the colt in the ' barn dur- ing the day, letting it go' to the mother “three or four. times during the day if possible. I like to wean my colts at about 4 months of age. If they have been taught to eat grain they will make the shift without any-loss of flesh or impairment of-the growth.” A little amazingly to keep the colt going ahead at this time. Feed liberally iof oats and bran, about all the colt will eat, and keep him going in this way until he is a year old, when he should be thrifty and 'strong, weigh- ing from 850 to 1000 pounds. He will not be much trouble after that time. One important matter that should not be neglected - is the care of the colt’s feet. Keep them level; you may prevent a blemish” by doing so. Broken, uneven ‘feet cause a strain and a side bone ‘is not un- likely* to be the result,” as well as cow’s milk, skim milk, is-good, helps/| crooked ankles:: It is easier ‘to keep'a colt that isin” good flesh than-it is to'main- tain a thin or a poor one, and then they look much better. I like to see them thrifty, in smooth flesh, and at'all times improving, It is the. way. to get-good ones.- - Start right, keep going that way and you| will come out alt-right. The same-principles-of the--above article also apply to other kinds of horses, racing trotters and pacers, and toall kinds of stock. The article was reproduced from the Minneapolis Journal of May 15, 1910, at the request of Dr. ], War- ninger, the local veterinary surgeon, for the benefit of the farmers, breed- ers and stock raisers of this com- munity, Dr. Warninger, who has made a life study of the American trotting and pacing horses, has two great stallions in General Blackford and Ham Nut, the latter being ‘sire of Roy B, the fastest five-mile "pacer in the world, 12:25 3.5. _KEEP THE KIKNEYS WELL Health is Worth Saving, and Some Bemidji People Know How to Save It. Many Bemidji people take: their lives in their handsby neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. responsible: for 'a vast amount: of suffering and ill health, ' but there is no need to " suffer nor to remain in danger when all diszases and aches ‘and pains due to weak kidoeys can be quickly and' per- manently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Bemidii citizen’s recommendation. Mrs. Ella %Barrett, - Sixth. and American Sts, Bemidji, Minn,; says: “I used Doan’s Kidney- Pills: and|’ was well pleased: with the results. I was nervous- and at times had - dull pains in the small- of my back, ac- companied by an:ache across my kidneys.. These organs did not act properly- and ‘caused me ‘much dis- comfort. I decided to try a kidney remedy and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at the' Owl Drug Store. - In a -short time after using them I felt a great deal better and am ‘now'in fairly good health: I have no- hesitation in recommend- ing Doan’s Kidney-' Pills.” For sale by all dealers: cents.
