Farm Horses
And Their Care

There is no more important animal
on the farm than the horse No farm
is complete without them But the
care these animals so often receive
makes one wonder il the farmer really
knows OF their value. This neglect is
more generally caused by the man in
charge, and in many cases the owner
is ignorant OF this neglect.
Extreme hot weather brings more or
less suffering TO n horse, The animal
that has not received the proper care

and attention is apt TO become a vic.
tim OF sheer exhaustion.
Poor nutrition and badly ventilated
and filthy stable will bring about a
bloodless, delapidated condition, while
overlooking and lack OF proper
work will produce state of obesity
with habby muscles, impaired circula-
ton and eXcretory organs which are
not sufficiently active.
During hot weather, especially the
stable must be kept clean, and il must
be well ventilated wthou, any draughts
The horse should be given pure, cool
water, and allowed TO drink at ire
quent intervals. His food should not
only be nutrition, but should be COM
posed OF such materials as will have a
cooling rather than heating effect.
His skin must be kept healthy and the
pores open by proper grooming.

COMFORT is AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR.
1t is important that the collar fits
the horse properly An aggravated
cause oi beat exhaustion is often traced
to- collars that fit too tightly Con-
siderable comfort is also given by pro-
viding a sunShade for the crown OF the
head. provided, OF course, that il is so
arranged that the air can freely circu-
late beneath it. The plan OF fastening
sponge on the poll or crown OF the
head is not good one. In fact it is
injurious unless kept wet and cool,
which is practically impossible.
In thrcc-horse team the middle
horse is more liable to heat exhaustion
than the rest, on account OF the add
tional amount Of heat radiatcd from
the horse on either side OF him. 1t
therefore is advisable to so change
horses that one will not be compelled
t" be in the middle more than half OF n
day at time.

The Stones Bear Witness.

II is truly marvellous how the truth
OF the Word OF God Is being vindi-
Gated by modern discovery against
the attacks made upon It by interest
ed critics. Few more exciting stories
have ever been told than that which
was narrated last week at the annual
meeting OF the Palestine Exploration
Fund
At the very time when the earlier
parts of the Old Testament were be-
ing dismissed with contempt as "un-
historic" the spades OF eXcavators
were busy dlsinterring long buried
CanaanItish cities, with the result
that high places" OF idoltary nave
been brought 10 light containing re-
mains OF human sacrifices ohered 10
heather deities. Thus the abomlna-
tions OF the AmmOnites are actually
exposed TO our gaze.
Even more interesting Is the dis
covery OF the form OF the ancient
Philistine temples. Men who nave
made sport OF the story OF Samson
pulling down the pillars OF the tenn
ple upon the heads OF his enemies,
become. in turn, the objects or de-
rision. as II r. now clearly shown
what the pillars" were, and how
easily strong man could have dis
pIaced them TO the undOing both or
himself and OF his foes. In the light
~ these expert discoveries, believers
have no need To apologize for their
Bible: rather. they ought 10 expect
on apology from those who have re-
lied upon Imagination rather than
sound fact.-London Christian.
