corrRAcrED FEET.

Owing TO bad shooting and also many
other causes many horses suffer with
contracted feet.
The heels are narrowed and the horse
steps gingerly with a desire to extend
himself when forced to trot or gallon.
The writer is now using a horse q
years old and when he drove him fer the
first time in December last saw that he
experienced great difficulty in extending
himself and especially on rough or stony
roads.
He was shod with heel calks on the
front as we'll as the hind feet and 1t was
very perceptibIe that the heels of his
front feet were too narrow.
After three unsuccessful trials with
regular blacksmiths the horse was exam
med by competent veterinary surgeon
who pronounced his trouble to be con-
tracted heels.
He has them shod perfectly level In
front. springs were placed in between
the back of his shoes to keep the heels
spread and a piece of sole leather was
tackled across the hollows of the hoof be-
low the hoof and shoes to protect the
sole OF the foot and break the jar OF
travelling on rough and stony places
About once OF twice a week a hoof oint-
ment consisting of one pint of Meats
foot oil with two tablespoonfuls of oil
of tar was applied on the outside Of the
front feet with soft rag and then, rails
ing the edge of the leather, q little Is
poured over the sole of the foot and
few drops in the heel cleft
Since the last shoeing and following
the treatment above described the horse
has improved wonderfully in his road
work and rarely fiinches, even going; at
a 12-mile-an-hour clip.

OF all branches Of the dairy business
the production of high-grade article of
market milk is the most exacting.
Certified milk has it's place and is fast
becoming an important factor in the milk
trade of all the larger cities; but the
question of improving the quality of the
market milk is of far more interest, for
the reason that it concerns the larger
number of consumers and the larger
number of producers
Among the conditions that control the
value of market milk are the health of
the cows, the care of the milk, the quail
ity of the milk, the flavor and taste, the
color and general appearance of the
milk.
In actual practice 1 have found these
conditions so closely related that it is
difficult to tell where one leaves off
and the other begins. And all of the
conditions must be right if we produce
a good, wholesome grade of milk.
The cows that are producing milk must
be in good physical condition and have
healthy surroundings ard healthy atten-
dants. They should have an abundant
supply of pure water and clean. whole

provide this succulence in the best and
most economical form.
The herd should be tested for tubercu-
losis at least once every year and exam
ined frequently for other diseases and
arrangements, such as tumors. garget
and skin diseases.
That diseases may be transmitted in
milk is an undisputed fact hence care
should be exercised in all the work and
equipment that pertains to it.
There must be regularity in feeding and

SOME MIDsUMMER SUGGESTIONS

Hunt ant nests and destroy them II
the little insects persist in troubling
scatter powdered borax about the infest-
ed plants.
Remove stalks of tea roses that have
hloomed; stir the soil about them and
apply some good fertilizer, either liquid
or solid On wash days soak, the soil
with soapsuds.
Don't apply liquid manure when the
soil is dry. If the soil is dry and you
do mot wish to wait until it rains, fl soak
the soil with water and then apply the
liquid manure.
Many of the ANNALS. If sown now.
will make a fine show in late fall.
If you. do not have the so-called Ger
man ivy, procure cuttings if possible this
summer. 1t makes a charming plant for
the window even though it does not
bloom.
The perennial sweet pea is an excellent
plant for growing on fences and the like.
1t is perfectly hardy and improves with
age.-Josephine de Mars.

Every flock owner should give spe-
cial attention to providing the best or
supplemental forage and pasture for
his sheep to help out the other pasture
and supply the flock with a change or
feed.

ing his lambs in a. poor condition.

maintaining a breeding flock and fat-
tening wethers is distinctively attrac-
tive TO the trained business mind

wArrR AND SALT FoR CALVES.

Calves, like other farm animals, get
thirsty. even though milk forms large
part of their ration. Calves three months
of age will drink as much as five quarts
of water daily per head. They like TO
drink often, slipping little at time
A half barrel cleaned and replenished
twice daily. will serve nicely as water
trough. Another good device is an auto
matte waterer which may be easily
cleaned, situated little above the fit or
to keep out the litter.
Salt is essential to the development
of the calf. as of other animals. and
should be kept continually available.

when the Georgia legislature passed
a bill absolutely forbidding the giving OF
railroad passes the measure seemed to
be so strict and compelling that there
was satisfaction openly expressed.
But ] think we might find that all
the interested people ride on free
passes just the same. The employer
feature is quite enough to shelter these
folks who ride free IF every district
in the state is like the Seventh dis
trict and all the railroad adopt the
same method as are used in Cherokee
Georgia, the bill is made non-effective
under the employer and employe clause.
Every lawyer is keen to get job with
railroad pay. Being an employee, he goes
abroad without cent Of expense to him
self.
Tt was intended to reach such men
that the anti-pass bill was carried
through, but / am satisfied ii has been
made a dead letter with Ine employe
clause inserted.

of somebody. SO we hear a good deal OF
complaint of the mileage arrangements
How that will end with railroad law

ployers'' time alone can tell.

anime into the methods now used with
free passes 1t seems to be easy "to
whip the devil around the stump A
law should be passed compelling rail-
roads to set down the names OF their
lawyer employees" The list would be a
stunning exhibit. These attorneys fight
everything in the court house. They Sc
cure delays from pliable courts. The
people who have cases must be buirag-
ged by pestlferous people. who belong
to corporations. 1t is simply astound-
ing to see the easy way in which the
anti-pass law has been used to make It's
requirements nearly dead letter on the
statute books.
