From our Rsgula Correspondent.

The Senate still founders

The last two. or three days
have been spent in a disputa
ton over Culberson's resOln>
tion asking the President to
send all letters and manu-
d riPts bearing upon the Pan

SpOoner and Aldrich contend
ed that the resolution WAS
discourteous and illegal. Sen
ators RacOn, German q u Il

1t was proper for the Senate
to have in dealing with trpa

SORE NEcxs ON HORSES.
Some Timely Suggestions Team Own

Non .hwestern Agrcultu.st: The
most of the machinery now used on the
farm is balanced by the tongue. and
consequently a great deal of weight
comes on the horses neck. which is
liable to get sore during the hot
weather. | know how disagreeable it
is to drive Il horse With Il sore neck.
besides The pain and annoyance it gives
the horse. / find t,iat the trouble can
usually be avoided by observing the
following rules: Never check the horse
while at work so he cannot lower his
head and work the collar front slightly
while standing. You will always notice
/ it is the horse that carries its llead
high that is most liable to got a sore
neck. See that the collar fits the neck
of the morse so it VIII not rub from
side to side AS he walks. See also that
it is not too short "A short collar is
sure 10 make sore neck in warm
weather.
See that the names fit the collar. A
hame that has TO be let out by length
ening the strap at the top is also liable
to make Il sore neck. AS the horse
pulls the names will spread on such
| fit. pulling the collar together endwise
and spreading it at the same time, so it
will work back and forth and it is sure
to cause trouble. For this reason I
prefer the high hame to the short one.
| With the short hame any alteration
has to be made by lengthening or
shortening the strap, While it is the
hame that should be shortened or
Heightened. l have found sole leath-
or pad that is very generally used u
very good pad for the top of the Collar.
A pad made of leerskin and heavy har-
ness leather is excellent where the COLI
lar is long enough to admit of its use.
1t requires Il collar an inch longer
where it is used than with the leather
pad.
a sore mock is usually preceded by n
/ Duncll coming ON the top of the neck
where the collar rests. if This is left
and the horse worked it soon becomes
a deep seated sore, causing no end OF
trouble. Ii this bunch is noticed the
| first day il appears 1t can be entirely
| removed and the horse worked con-
/ tinually if ihe cause of the trouble is
removed and the lump treated with oil

pays to look after the horse as he
is our main dependence during the
rushing work of summer and n horse
| with Il sore neck cannot do his work
easily nor as satisfactorily as though
he were sound. 1t never pays TO overdo
a horse when the weather is excessive

/ sore shoulders or sore neck. no mat

meals in very warm weather. 1t may
mean some work but it will pay in the
| long run to not neglect anything that
| will add to the comfort of the hard
| worked animal.
