TOO MUCH Hay.

ITeayps is a disease much too COM
mon, and my observation has led re
tC the conclusion that larger per-
centage of farm Ecrses suffer from
this malady than in the towns AMI
cities OF our country: and the rea-
son fer this is, in my opinion. due
to the fact that q large number OF
or farmers feed too much hay.
Nc horse requires mere than one
full feed of hay once in the twenty
four hours When farm horses are
working every day they are subject
to just this condition, because they
have not time either at their morn
ing or noon meal to eat too mucn
hay, but in winter they often stand
all day with lay before them all the
time A horse to be in perfect health
should have the stomach emptied or
TIL previous meal for two or three
hours before he is given another.
# su-h is rot the case, digestion VIII
not take place in perfect manner,
and disease is likely to result. There
is a remarkable sympathy between
the stomach and the lungs. because
OF the fact that the same nerve
trunk supplies nerve fcrce to both
organs When the stomach is de-
ranged from improper feeding, the
lungs are liable to become sympa-
thetically affected and heaves often
result
Care should also be taken that a
horse should be fed no dusty or mus
ty hay. This dust is as lisht as
air. and the horse in breathing
draws it right into the lung tissue
with every breath. and this sub
stance, being an ir-itant, is very
prone to develop the heaves. If no
better hay can be obtained, tle dust
should be laid By sprinkling with wa
it, but it will be swallowed 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 nos horse is in
fit condition for active exercise with
a stomach distended with hay. be-
cause the stomach. situated as it is
right behind the lung space, if full
bulges forward into the chest to such
an extent that the lungs have not
room to properly expand, and cannot
perform their functions properly, and
anything that interferes with the
function of the lungs predisposes to
heaves
In many cases if farmers would
feed Dne-third less hay to idle
horses in the winter months they
would come out in the spring in bet
ter condition, and we would have
fewer cases of heaves in the coun-
try than we have at PRESENT.. P.

MOLD ON MAPLE SYRUP.

According to experiments made by
the Nebraska Experiment Station it
has been ascertained that the mold
which has frequently been observ-
ed growing upon various brands OF
maple syrups after they had been
exposed to the air in the household
for two Or more weeks, it has been
found that this is due to too dilute
form. The recommendation is made
that if the syrups are made sufficient
ly concentrated little Or no growth
of mold is likely to occur.

The Borgia apartment, adorned by
the celebrated Umbrian painter for
Alexander VI, is situated On the first
floor of the Vatican palace under the

them and for 400 years they re-
manned untenanted.
In 1916 they were again taken into
use as picture gallery, but subse-
auentiy, owing to the scarcity Of
light, the paintings placed there were
removed and the rooms were convert
ed into a somewhat miscellaneous
sort of museum and library. Their
restoration was begun by the late
puntiff, Leo Kill, in 1891.

SHEEP AND WOOL,

The outlook for the sheep industry
is very good now, and those who
keep advised feel sure that the CON-
ing year will be a good one, and are
preparing to avail themselves of op-
portunities for more breeding and
better breeding than usual.
Touching the wool part of the In
dustry 1t may be said that there are
strong tendencies to outfank the
eastern wool combine by establish
ing wool storage in the middle west,
so as to have better control Of the
market Last year this tendency was
seen in western warehouse storage
and where better results were realiz-
ed in the sale Of the clip. The
Breeders Gazette says upon this sub.
ject:
Obviously as long as Boston deal
ers go to the grower and purchase
the clip the prestige of the eastern
markets will be maintained, but If
wool is to be consigned as the bulk
Of it was this year, the selection
of some point in the West for the
changing-hands process wilI' be newt
able sooner or later. There exists
in producing circles considerable diff
ference OF opinion as to the best
point for the location Of a new trad
ing center. Some growers favor the
local warehouse system and have al.
ready planned the construction OF
storage capacity at certain points in
the range country. Omaha is anxious
to develop wool trade and is Of
fering growers inducements in the
shape of warehouses and banking ia
cilities. A definite proposition has
been made to the wool growers OF
Montana by Chicago capitalists and
will be considered at meeting in
Helena. That Boston will surrender
its wool trade tamely is improbable.
