Veterinarian Cautions Against Too

A noted veterinarian OF Canada
saws that one full feed per day OF

cause the work horses are busy In

For a brief space her truthful. angry
eyes rested scornfully upon his face.
her lips parted as though trembling
with a sharp retort. Then she delib-

without uttering a word.
For what may have been the first
and only occasion in Mr.. Hampton's
audacious career, he realized his utter
helplessness. This mere slip OF a
red-headed girl, this little nameless
waif Of the frontier, condemned him
so completely, and without waste of
words. as to leave him weaponless.

when man domesticated the horse he
immensely increased his own power Of

Farmers try to economize on the num-
Der Of horses and have to leave much

possible 10 offset this lack by increas-
ing the number of horses kept In
some parts of the west and northwest,
declares the Farmers Review, the
scarcity Of help has resulted In more
horses being used. Five are hitched
to double pillow. and one driver Is
thus enabled to turn two burrows at a
time and practically double the work
that one man has to do. This is the
result OF the complete utilization OF
horsefesh.
