A great many horses are laid up
every summer with sore shoulders.
This can be remedied in very large
measure with sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main
part of the harness, and it should be
of the very best kind and fit the ami
mails neck perfectly.
The collar should be kept clean at
all times and the horses shoulders
well wasaed and brushed daily.
much dust and dirt arise in
the fields and on the roads during
the warm season, and this is caught
and held on the moist and sweaty
shoulders and collar, there to form
hard Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar is put on the
horse it should be examined for those
Jumps and ridges. If any are found,
they should be carefully brushed and
rubbed away
After each days work, especially in
warm weather, battle and clean the
shoulders with a mixture of warm
water, salt and soda.
Hot water is one of the best known
natural agents for relieving soreness
due to sprains, bruises and excessive
pressure of the animal body Salt
and soda are heating and disinfecting
agents.
A little alum and fannie acid. the
juice from the bark or leaves of oak

Some good horsemen say heaves can
not be cured permanently. However,
the trouble is constantly and rapidly
increasing. If the case is mild one
and of recent origin it may often be
cured entirely by turning the horse
out to pasture for two or three
months. If it is necessary, however,
to work horse affected with this
trouble he can be relieved greatly by
feeding no hay except at night, and
then only a very small amount of
clean and bright hay, entirely free
from dust If there is any danger of
dust it is we'll to dampen it, but only
bright hay should be given. Roots
will be found helpful; beets, turnips,
potatoes or anything of that sort that
the horse will eat The amount of
water should be limited as much as
possible, and no horse with heaves
should be given water for two or
three hours previous to going to work
Dr.. Law recommends arsenic in
5-grain doses daily and continued for
a month or two months as especially
valuable, and says that the bowels
must be kept easy by laxatives, if
necessary. BY treatment of this sort
horse with heaves can be greatly re-
lieved When the disease first comes
on it will pay to turn the horse to
grass, with the hope of effecting a
cure at once and before the disease
progresses to the extent where it be-
comes ncurable.-Farmers and Drov-

Alfalfa grows best on deep, sandy

able subsoil
1t will not grow if there is an ex-
cess of water in the soil. The land
must be well drained. Pillow the land

Sow alone and screen seed before

enemy of alfalfa.
For a hay crop SOW 90 TO so pounds
of seed per acre. For a crop of seed
SOW Ia to Is pounds per acre.
Alfalfa does not attain maturity

not SOW it expecting to get the best
results in less time. Keep the weeds

The louise is a night hawk.

Rush the broilers along. The quick
err you can get them on the market the
better for you.
What is prettier than a bunch of
thrifty chicks. all of one color and
breed. and as much alike as so many
peas?
AS every chick Matched carries the
blood of the male it Is important that
great care be taken in selecting the
head of the flock,
Hens feel the warm weather as
much az other folks Give them a
shady place to sit down once in
while and rest. They will do all the
better for it,
Some folks think that hens do not
need oyster shells when they can run
out Just try giving them some and
see how that is You will be wiser
after that
One method of keeping lice from
troubling the poultry at night is to
suspend the roosting poles by wires
from the rafters of the house. If the
poles are smooth the lice will not re-
main on them if they are there at all.
Turkey hens are profitable until
8 years old, but it is good plan to
change the gobblers every year. 1t re-
uuires twenty-eight days to hatch a
turkey egg. and seven eggs are con-
silered setting. The nests should
be on the ground.

Give the cow sunlight; it has its place
in the economic production of milk
Just as well as good food.
A successful dairyman feeds his
cows this excellently balanced ration:
Glover hay and corn fodder, all the
cows will eat up clean, for roughage;
for grains. peas and oats, ground fine,
and bran in equal parts by weight,
and feed one pound of grain to three
or four pounds of milk, with sixteen
pounds of sugar beets day.
For generations English farmers
have made extensive use of dwarf Els
sex rape as stock food. This plant
may be described as a rutabaga run
to head. The seed is sown like ru.a-
baga turnips and cultivated without
thinning. Sow two or three pounds in
drills, or four or five broadcast, and
plant in early spring. The seed is not
expensive and the crop is easy to raise.
Experiments prove that a heifer is
easier to fatten than a steer.
If you have hog pasture it will
pay to fence off corner of the clover
meadow for them. The hogs will get
more value for you out of the clover
than it would be worth in the form
of hay, and save you the harvesting
of it.
If whole oats are scattered very
thinly on a floor and the brood SOW
is allowed to feed on them she will
get enough to keep thrifty, while not
getting enough to grow fat. This also
keeps her busy and contented.-Inland
Farmer.
