The horse, like person, requires
frequent large drafts of water. But
If allowed to drink all the cold water
he wants when he is heated he may
drink too much and bring on fatal
spell of collie Again. Watering
should be done awhile before feeding
and not for some time afterward, or
the quantity taken may SO weaken the
digestive juices as to prevent their
proper operation.
A horse, If he be used to violent
exercise, will stand lot of it in hot
weather without injury. But whether
he be used to 1t or not, he should be
closely watched, and when there are
signs that indicate his getting too
warm stop him. Just simple sweat
Is no sure sign that horse is getting
too warm. But when horse fathers
much and breathes hurriedly and with
great effort 1t is time to stop. Always
turn his head to the wind If possible
when stopping. You have no idea
how much good 1t seems to do If you
have never tried it.
II tnere IS time when 1t ls more
usual than Mt any other time to over
heat horses, 1t is when driving hur-
riedly to get in out Of n rain. Then
1t is time. too, when probably much
the most damage is done. 1t may not
be so Immediately apparent, but
those who attend driving horses soon
notice the difference. The trouble
comes not so much from overheating
as from cooling Off too quickly. Often
the storm will be SO close that the
team will be hltched, hot and sweaty,
to be drenched in the rain and chilled
by the wind. a few such experiences
will SO affect the stoutest horses as to
render him unfit for use on account of
rheumatism, stiff joints and other all
ments caused by taking cold.

Advantage of Crop Rotation.

Advantage of Crop Rotation.
Texas has followed the precedent set
by other States in practicing extern
sive agriculture during Its develop
ment period, and only within recent
years has the State begun to appre-
ciate and to make use of those sections
which have especial fitness for inten-
sive agriculture. Evidence Of the de-
velopment In this phase of its indus-
trial life is now found in the largo
number Of men who are practicing
fruit and truck growing. During the.
first period Of development of this
State cattle raising was great means
for transforming the natural agric:il-
tural resources into product which
could be marketed. Following upon
the development of the cattle industry
came the tendency to develop the pro-
duction of the staple farm crops, corn,
wheat and oats. In the practicing Of
field agriculture, which would nor
lnally include the raising of staple
crops, system of rotation has been a
matter of growth and development
due to circumstances. and was not in
the beginning based upon scientific
principles.-Austin Statesman.

may not be profitable for some farm
