Feet Of the Horse.
To get the most from q horse its feet
must be kept in proper condition; not
emily well and properly shod,s 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 10 stand
III for any considerable time. When
the horse comes in from day Of work
in the fields, which are soft, or from a
hard trive 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-
lions Of the coat which are covered by
the harness which ought to have good
care each time the horse is brought into
the barn. First Of all, see that the har-
TESS fits we'll, then, after embarrassing
wipe off the places touched by the har-
hess, using moist rag or sponge. II
there Is any suspicion OF a 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
fulneas will do SO much to keep him In
good condition as during the period Of
hard spring work.
For Calloused Shoulders.
/ A farmer In North Dakota gives his
method of treatment and cure OF cal
loused shoulders Of work horses in the
Dakota Farmer, which he says he has
used with uniform success. as follows:
II cut slit in the front part Of the
collar opposite the callous. then cut
another slit at right angles across the
first one. then take out enough Of
the filling to allow for callous. After
soaking face OF collar in warm wafer
[ lay the front part, where cuts have
been made, on a plank or something
solid, and pound face Of collar where
1t presses on callous. with round-faced
hammer, till a sufficient hollow has
been made. This plan will work
whether collar has been used with or
without pad. Then when the horse
comes in from work l bathe the Gallons
in water as hot as can be borne ma
paint with iodine. You will find this
plan worth trying. and will guarantees
the collar will not be injured"
