To arrange an elevator for horse

80 bushels should be sunk in the floor
close to the door and at one side to
empty grain for the wagon. The ele-
vator is an ordinary built elevator with
buckets standing upright and in the
rear corner of center bin. The box at

cry hopper by spout, with sufficient
slope that the grain will run freely.

Feet of the Horse.

Feet of the Horse.
To get the most from horse its feet
must be kept in proper condition; not
only well and properly shod, but cared
Tor by the owner in the matter OF clean
Illness. The beginning of such care
should be the clean stable; that is, the
stable clean of manure, than which
nothing is worse for the horse to stand
III for any considerable time. When
the horse comes in from a day Of work
in the fields, which are soft, or from
hard drive on muddy roads, look after
its feet and legs. Each hoof should be
looked over carefully and cleaned, and
the legs should be groomed as carefully
as the sides. Then there are the pOr-
tons of the coat which are covered by
the harness which ought to have good
care each time the horse is brought into
the barn. X First Of all, see that the har-
ness fits well, then, after embarrassing

hess, using moist rag or sponge. II
there Is any suspicion Of rubbing.
look to the cause at once and remove
it. There is no time in the work days
of the horse when good care and watch
fulness will do so much to keep him iD
good condition as during the period OF
hard spring work.

they sell them at an advance, but it IL
almost impossible for the grower to
reach these outside sources of demand,
hence he can better afford to let the
local dealer make dollar or two than
he can to take any chances in shipping
himself, and especially to people Of
whom he knows nothing. The writer
yearly sells his surplus hay to local
