HOW TO KEEP A HORSE HAPPY
Practical Suggestions For Cold Wealth
er From Veterinary.

er From a Veterinary
The great prevalence of diseases Of
the respiratory organs In horses every
spring, says a well known horse doc
tor, is largely due to the weakening Of
the system by sudden chills caused by
standing in rain or sleet, especially
when perspiring, and to carelessness
in blanketing. Then comes the shock
of the cold northwest storms frequent
in winter, when the temperature how
ers around zero, and in consequence
the animal becomes too feeble to resist
disease.
Be sure If your horse is stabbed in a
cold or drafty place that he is well
blanketed, and there should be a
change of blankets, for to make him
stand under a blanket which is wet
either from sweat or from snow or
rain is much worse than giving him no
blanket at all.
Blankets for street use should be
large enough to cover the horse from
neck to tail and should come well
down all around, and chest pads are
of great service. When the horse is
making delivery trips with frequent
stops the blanket may be folded across
the withers when the animal is in ac-
tion.
Coal delivery horses should be pro-
yided with blankets reaching nearly
to the ground, and again the use of
chest pads is to be commended Owing
to the hardship of their task these
animals are often forced into perspira-
tion even in very cold weather. They
are, therefore, entitled to even greater
consideration and must have it If their
health and usefulness are to be main
tanned
Cab horses should likewise be blan-
keted with great care, since they are
often obliged to stand severe expo
sure, and the special blankets made
for them should be in general use.
No horse should be forced to stand
even for few minutes during severe
weather without covering. Above
all, see to it that when standing in a
chill stable dry blankets are provided
anu uSeu whatever you uO, uUu
blanket your horse while it is in ac-
ton. There is no more certain means
of inducing serious if not fatal illness,
since the blanket is certain to become
moist from sweat and to cause a chill
the moment the animal stands.
One other suggestion which will add
greatly to the health and comfort of
your horse. If the sun is shining on a
cold day, be sure to have your horse
stand on the sunny side of the street.
Lots of drivers do this, but the prac-
tice should be universal, for, with the
very slightest Inconvenience to your
self, you are giving your animal the
benefit of the heat and the genuine
tonic of sun bath.

How TO Polish the Hair,

If you are in the habit of wearing
your hair plain you can polish it in
the japanese fashion. Take piece of
velvet or a small piece of woolen goods
and pour a small amount of olive oil
on it and shake it partly dry. Then
rub it over the hair until it shines
beautifully, but do not use enough of
the oil to make the hair the least bit
greasy.

New Yorks State Master says ihis Is
the Most Important Question.
Especial Correspondence
If there is one question more irn-
portant than another in national legis-
lation to the people of the United
States and that the grange should
strive for it is the enactment Of par
cells post system for the whole coun-
try. / know of no other matter that
would be of SO much benefit to the
people and firmly believe would be
of great profit to the postal depart
ment.
There seems to be sentiment
among country merchants that 1t
would be a detriment to their bust
ness. This do not believe would
prove true, for with a reasonable par
cells post rate and the fact that mer-
chandise could be sold at lower price
people living in the country should be
disposed to purchase of local mer-
chants instead Of sending long dis
tances for their goods. A wholesale
merchant told me not long ago that If
there was parcels post system, doing
away with the exorbitant express
charges, he could sell his goods at from
10 to Is per cent less than present
prices. F. N. GODFREY.
