Shoulder Calls and Assesses.
E. N. BUTLER,
County Clerk


In the fall after hard summers
work. the shoulders of the work
horse should be carefully examined
for gals and assesses. If they are
neglected during the idle months of
winter the animal is in no condition
for spring work.
The causes of shoulder gals and
assesses are ill fitting and dirty
collars, also horses unaccustomed to
work are put at hard, continuous
pulling before the shoulders become
toughened. The first symptom of a
sore shoulder is that the hair stands
erect in the location of the injury
Later, if the animal is continued at
work with the same kind of a collar,
the skin and hair slough, leaving n
raw bleeding surface. The size of
the sore may be from that OF a silver
dollar up to three inches in diameter
The sore shoulder causes the
horse considerable pain, and if not
relieved the animal soon looses
flesh, and may cause a sound animal
to become balky.
Many times a soft swelling ap-
pears just above the point of the
shoulder. If opened at the outset
a straw colored liquid escapes. On
the other hand if not molested it
becomes infected and an abscess
forms.
These abscesses are often superb
cial but may be deeply seated and
require expert attention. The deep
abscess may be located six inches
or more below the surface of the
skin, between the shoulder joint and
the chest wall. These assesses Of
ten prove serious and should only
be treated by qualified veterinar-
ian
By way of prevention of shoulder
assesses and gals, give particular
attention to the collar See that it
fits snugly at the top and only room
enough between the neck and collar
to admit the arm. Also remember
that the collar should be kept clean
Wash the dried sweat off the collar
at night, and battle the shoulders
with cold water after the horse is
embarrassed.

Stuart for
Governor

Now that the smoke of the
recent primary battle has clear
ed away, and the results makes
Democratic success so sure in
the November elections in all
parts of she State, our Roanoke
contemporary, the Roanoke
Times. has taken up the fight
for the election of Henry O..
Stuart, of Russell county, for
Governor of Virginia in 1912.
In this the Times may be as.
sured of the united support Of
the press of Southwest Virginia,
aud large part of it in other
sections, for Stuarts popularity
is by no means confined to his
own section, where he is the
idol of the people.
Stuarts career has been one
of distinguished service to the
the Democratic party, and HIS
splendid fight to wrest the
Ninth District from Republican
control is fresh in the minds of
the people of the State. He is II
strong, vigorous Democrat Of
the independent type, and
would make Governor of
whom Virginia would be proud
We unite with the Times in
hoping that the candidacy Of
Lieutenant Governor lillyson
will not bc pressed at this time.
Mr.. Ellyson hasrendercd faith
ful service TO the Democratic
party, but the revelations con.
tanned in the Thompson letters
made public recently by VIM.
y. Jones, would be almost sure
to create opposition to Mr.. FL.
Tyson from great number Of
Democrats, and perhaps result
in another campaign equnling
in bitterness that through which
we have just passed Henry G.
Stuart is n man whom all Dom
ocrats could unite upon, and
his election would go far to-
ward healing the differences
that have recently been mani
fest within the party Salem
