The snread Of CHAMBERS.

Chambers is caused by special germ
which usually gains entrance into the
body through the drinking water. A
horse affected with CHAMBERS generally
has discharge from the nose. In
drinking. this discharge gets into the
water and Is taken up by another
horse in drinking and thus becomes-
exposed and liable to develop the dis
ease. The disease may show itself IN
a few days or it may take months, de-
pending on the condition of the system
of the animal.
Other modes of contamination are
through the bedding, blankets. curry
combs, brushes, feeds, etc. Horse
owners should know for their own pro
lection some of the symptoms point
ing to this disease, in order to secure
the services of some competent vet

there is some sentimentality attached

in this unpretentiuos home than oc-
cupy the palatial palace in Havana
and shine as the First Lady OF CUBA.
She possesses to great degree those
Latin-race characteristics

great social responsibilities that de-
volve upon her in the position she oc-

"The same rule will apply to the
fruit. Too many limbs furnish the
opportunity for an excessive number
of buds. and with favorable conditions
YOU get too many blossoms. with the
result of far to many SETS and your
tree unable to sustain the great
drain upon it, yields large NUMBER
of inferior apples. With fewer limbs
YOU get a smaller number of apples
