KEEP STOCK IN CONDITION.
No Time Of Year When They Should
Be Let Run Down.

When? Right now-to-day and to-

time to let the cattle out to pasture
Sometimes we may get little care
less about this. So many men say:
What hurt does it do to let the cows
go with scant rations for few weeks
in winter? By-and-by they will go out
to pasture and then they can gain up
again. 1t will not cost so much to
get them In good flesh then as it
would now. and feed costs so in win
ter
or course feed costs. That is a
foregone conclusion If we keep
stock, however, ought we not to be
prepared to do the fair thing by it?
There are some of the best reasons
why. from our own standpoint, we
should do this One OF these is, that
II we turn the cattle out in spring
poor and weak it will take so long
to get them up in good shape to do
their hest that we shall lose more
than we shall gain by scrimping now.
We are learning that cattle are sure
to take the feed we give them il they
are lean and in poor rig and lay it on
their backs. first of all; then after
they are in good condition they will
apply the surplus to the milk-pail 1t

Tramp Returns Good for Evil.

Mark Linderman Of Pulverdale. Pa,

than formerly. and all because OF the
treatment tramp gave their little
poodle.
A ragged. forlorn looking tramp
started to enter the yard of the Lin

himself scarce about that section. The
tramp started down the road pursued
by the little dog. A team was driving
past and ran over the animal, injuring
1t, and the tramp tenderly picked UT
the dog and carried 1t back to the
house.
This act so touched the hearts OF
the Linderman family that they forth.
with invited the tramp in, gave him
good meal. some old clothes and
some money.

AEAvEs CAUSED BY HAY.
Veterinarian Cautions Against Too
Heavy Feeding.

A noted veterinarian of Canada
says that one full feed per day of
hay is enough for horse; that be-
cause the work horses are busy in
crop time they only get one full feed
Of hay every "a hours, but in the win
ter are frequently allowed to stand
and eat all day. He says that horse
to be in perfect health should have
the stomach emptied, of the previous
meal for two or three hours before he
is given another II such is not the
case, digestion will not take place in
perfect manner and disease is likely
to result. There is a remarkable SYM
pathy between the stomach and the
lungs, because of the fact that the
same nerve trunk supplies nerve force
to both organs. When the stomach
is deranged from improper feeding the
lungs are liable to become sympa-
thetically affected and heaves often
result Care should also be taken that
horse should be fed no dusty or
musty hay. This dust is as light as
air, and the horse In breathing draws
it right into the lung tissue with every
breath. and this substance, being an
irritant. is very prone to develop the
heaves. If no better hay can be OBJ
tanned, the dust should be laid by
sprinkling with water, when the horse
will not breathe it, but will be swal-
lowed with his feed and probably do
him no harm; but when at all possible
only bright, clean hay. free from dust,
should be fed to horses. Again no
horse is in fit condition for active ex-
ercise with stomach distended with
hay. because the stomach situated as
it is right behind the lung space, IL
full, bulges forward into the chest to
such an extent that the lungs have no
room to properly expand. and cannot
perform their functions properly; and
anything that interferes with the func-
ton OF the lungs predisposes to heaves.
In many cases If farmers would feed
one-third less hay to idle horses in the
winter months they would come out in
the spring in better condition.
