The habit Of wind sucking, or stump
sucking, as many call II, is practically
tncurable, except by a difficult opera
tion which can only be performed by
an expert surgeon familiar with the
anatomy OF the parts. Buckling strap
tightly around the neck back of the
ears helps to prevent the performance
OF the habit. In the barn the horse
should be kept in a box stall from
which everything has been removed
upon which he could fix his teeth or
balance HIS chin TO perform the obJec-
tionable act. Feed him from a box TO
be removed when feed has been eaten.

/ Use the whip on rare occasions. Gov
ern your own temper. and they will
trust you. Feed your horses and water
them as regularly as possible. After
years Of experience with horses we
found the ideal feed TO be bran and
oats, each mess being sailed - four
quarts of oats, as much Of bran and
a good teaspoonful OF salt. We have
fed the grain first. giving them hay to
eat afterward. We usually offer them
water before eating.
The team is groomed at night and
in the morning, pains being taken TO
keep them clean and their collars easy

bedding. We use straw mostly, but
for one horse we buy turning chips,
because the horse persistently eats his
bedding. Our horses work hard every
/ day not stormy, excepting Sundays.
They cover eighteen miles each day,

The driver neither whips them nor ex-
poets more of them than they are able
to accomplish. He rarely uses the
whip, but often gives them something
that they love, so they eagerly watch
for his coming. Horses are sensitive

often gain courage and strength from

give the horses enough to drink. Some
horses gain quickly by always giving

New Use for Refined Paraffine Wax.

A new and important use for Refined
Parattine Wax seems to have been
discovered by a prominent resident of
OHIO, living near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged by storm,
one being a maple and the other an
apple. Iu each case large limb was
broken down from the trunk, but still
attached to it. The limbs were prop
ped UP and fastened securely with
straps, very much aS broken leg
might be fastened with spIints, and
then melted refined wax poured into
and over all the cracks. The surgical
Operation" Was entirely successful.
The Paraffine prevented the escape of
the sap, kept out the rain, and moiS-
ture which would have rotted the
trees. prevented the depredations of
insects, and the limbs seem thus far
to be perfectly re-attached to the
trees.

REV. W. A. PETERSON RETURNED.
2e-Appolnted Pastor of the NJ. E. Church for
Another Year

All the people of Grand Rapids will
be pleased to learn that Rev. w. A.
Peterson was returned by the Wiscon-
sin Methodist Conference as pastor of
the NJ. e. church of this city.
Fifty-eight changes were made by
Bishop GoOdSell in the appointments
of the ministers thereby giving new
ministers to more than one-third of
the numb Der of churches in the confer
ence. While the number of changes
made is greater than those made for d
number of years, it Occasioned no great
surprise, because the brethren, know
ing of Bishop GoodSell's peculiaritieS,
were prepared.
The appointments were not an
nounced until 1920 O'Clock Monday
night, the bishop and his cabinet hav-
ing worked steadily up to that time.
Even then, the presiding elders were
not altogether satisfied, but Bishop
| GOodseli took matters into his own
hands, obliging the brethren to be
| content.
Most of the changes are in this, the
| Appleton district, where there are
nineteen. Fifteen ministers are
shifted in the Fond du Lac district
six in the Milwaukee district and nine
each in the Oshkosh and GAINESVILLE
| districts.

God and all mankind.
He was born in Montreal, Canada,
February II, 1882, and was therefore
seventy years, six months and twenty
seven days old when he passed away.
His parents died when he was in
infancy and he was brought up by an
aunt until he was seventeen years OF
age: when he went to Buffalo, n. Y

which was at that time at it's heighth.
Later he learned the BARRIERS trade

shortly afterward suffered slight
stroke of paralysis. He made his

succeeded him In business. During
his life he was known as an expert
checker player and few men in the
country could excel him in this popu,
lar game. He was known as quiet
unaSSuming man, a great lover or his
home and family, and was beloved by
every body. He will be greatly missed.
