How to Care for Your Work
Stock in the Spring.
orogresslye Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
April is the hardest month of
the year for the farm work stock.
They are usually soft and out Of
condition for hard work, their
coats are long and the weather
is warm, and the breaking aud
preparation of the land consti-
tute the hardest work on the
farm. No man thinks of re.
quiring race horse to work
without period of training or
preparation, but few farmers
stop to consider the necessity of
'training" their work stock to
prepare them for the extremely
hard work of putting in the
spring crops. The results of
suddenly increasing both the
work and feed during the first
few weeks of spring are that
the horse or mule suffer from
indigestion, loses his appetite,
contracts sore shoulders and gets
out of condition to do effective
work. A little care to SLOWLY
and gradually increase the work
aad feed, and thereby put the an
imal in good condition to do hard
work before requiring too much
of either his muscles or digestive
apparatus, would very greatly
increase his capacity for work
during the season, taken as a
whole.
To those who have already
gotten their work stock off their
feed and out of condi ION we ad
wise that they now pursue the
course which should have been
followed at first. Reduce the
feed to about one-tenth of full
ration and make the same re-
duction in the work. Continue
this for a few days, and then
gradually Increase both so as to
have the animal back on full feed
and work at the end of about
two weeks. Don't imagine you
can't afford to take so much
time to get the animal in condi-
ton to do work again. BY such
course you will get more work
out of him during the season.
The morning and noon feeds of
hardworking animals should be
light and the heavier night feed
be given after the animal has
had time to rest from the hard
days work. If the appetite is
poor and tonic needed, give
one dram each of powdered nux
vomica and dry sulphate of iron
twice day.
To keep the shoulders from
getting sore, use a properly fit.

Two Minute Health Talks.
Farmers Should be the
Healthiest People in the
W orld--W Why are They
Not?

"Farmers ought TO be the
healthiest folks in the world !;
but the fact is that the country
physician has the best all-round
practice of anyone"
The doctor was right when he
said the farmer folks ought to be
almost immune from disease.
Think of the pure water they
might have to drink Look at
the fresh air and pure food they
have always within their reach |
The air they breathe is pure and
untainted by any dangerous
things that come between the
city man and good health. The
farmers house ought to be free
from the many defects which
work such havoc to his city
neighbor.
Most of the sickness on the
farm is due to ignorance of the
simple laws of health or to a
disregard of those laws. / wish
these might be posted in every
farm house the whole wide coun.
try over:
Keep the source of the water
supply clean.
Do not permit the drains about
the house to become clogged.
Do all you can to make the
premises clean. Disease has its
home in filth.
Eat only wholesome well-pre.
pared food. Hosts of farmer folks
are not as careful here as they
should be.
Avoid exposure to storms. If
you get wet, put off the cold,
damp garments, and thoroughly
dry yourself the first thing you
do.
If you do not feel we'll, do not
take drugs, but do stop eating,
and drink all the fresh water
you can. Even the animals at
the barn know enough not to
keep on eating when they do
not feel we'll. Are we less intel
ligent than they areg
Finally, use good, sound COM
mon sense about your house,
your clothing, your food and
your doctor.
In every household the box of
pills is the never-failing panacea
for all stoprages of the bowels.
But that is the most foolish thing
imaginable. What then? Stop
eating and drink plenty of water
until the system has been puri-
fed of the dangerous stuff that
clogs the alimentary canal.
/ know of one farmer that had
the habit of taking pills. He be-
gan with one or two and kept on
until he would take six or seven
great pills at one dose. The more
he took the more he needed to
bring about the desired effect.
All the time nature and common
sense would have helped him out
of his trouble better and with
much less danger, if he had only
given them a chance.-E. L..
Vincent, in Farm and Fireside.

ton Of 1900 tracts Of land in the

from the tax collector. In doing
this they commit greater Of

Emigration Movements.

The United States government has
for many years kept statistics showing
the immigration from foreign coun-
tries. but none showing the emigration
from the United States to other coun-
tries. There has really been no need of
this because the emigration from this
TO other countries was so small as not
to be worth considering. AS Benjamin
Harrison said in one of his speeches.
the gates of Castle Garden swing in
ward only, and the incoming tide has
been so great as to make the outward
movement unnoticeable. 1t IS different
in most other countries. which lose far
more than they gain in population
movements.
These movements in recent years
have developed a new line of statistics
showing the tendency Of the different
peoples to seek new homes and OF diff
ferent countries to encourage them in
doing So This tendency is partly due
to the increased facilities of travel ant
partly of the growing freedom Of PEG.

WITH THE EDITORS
Garfield Is Pooling Them.

James a. Garfield continues to make
an impression. When he began as sec
rotary Of the interior there We're those
who smiled and said things about the
tennis" cabinet. Mr.. Garfield, how
ever, is fooling all such; he is making
good. He has the land grafters on the
run and 1t is announced that he will
not stop until he has them rounded up.
He says that he will get them all and
1t will be well for both Mr.. Garfield
and the public if he does. He has a
chance to make a record. and he seems
to be starting out to do so.
The effort of the interior department
TO put stop to grating in connec-
ton with public lands and also in con-
nection with the management of the
affairs of the Indians IS to be main
tanned and with renewed vigilance. At
least Mr.. Garfield says so. He pro-
/ poses to do this by thoroughly &C
/ quainting himself with actual condi-
lions by visiting the public domain
and by doing the same with the Indian
reservations. Mr. Garfield has the
right idea He will do. The first
/ thing is to get an accurate estimate OF
/ the thing that is TO be done and then
it is time to act.
The secretary may not be as highly
successful as present conditions indi-
cate He has never been what might
be termed a brilliant man and he has
not always won in what he has under
taken. He fell down on his investiga-
ton of the beef trust. but he did quite
the opposite in his oil inquiry. Mr..
Garfield has always had q way of
taking his work seriously. He is de-
termined and ready to put forth his
best efforts.
The present is the time for him 10
work harder than ever. He has 8
chance TO score his greatest victory
and an opportunity to make name
for himself. Mr. Garfield. whom Pres
i6ent Roosevelt calls Jimmie" seems
to be starting right. He is making
good.-South Bend Tribune
