AS the harvest season draws near,
a word in favor of the horse-one of
mans best friends-is in order. 1t is
the time when the SUMS heat is most
severe and the work must DO done.
The humane societies of our land are
doing much to encourage the use of
hats for horses. There is special hat
made for horses, but an ordinary
cheap straw hat will do, by cutting
holes for the ears and binding the
holes to prevent the straw from irri-
tating the animal. Insert in the crown
of the hat pieplant leaf, or sponge
dampened in water and your herse
will appreciate it and be able to &C
complish much more work and with
far less danger of becoming overhead
ed. It is the brains of the animal that
becomes overheated; protect that in
this way and note the result. A few
cents and few moments of time may
save the price of good horse Or two,
Isn't it worth trying? What is so sue
cussful and beneficial on the streets OF
the overheated city, will be just as
successful in the hot fields of the farm
during harvest.-Willmar Republican
