HORSE SHOEENC
Is SCIENCE
No Man Is Fully Equipped for
Task Unless He Understands
Anotomy OF Animals Foot
Advance Being Made.
BY VIM. ], KELLY


Formerly the ordinary blacksmith
who knew very little about the under.
lying principles that should govern
horse shoeing, was called upon to shoe
horses. As a result very much Of the
work done was inferior and such work
reacted In many instances against
the usefulness of the horse that was
thus shod.
The advance that has been made in
this branch of blacksmithing during
recent years, has been very great.
The work of shoeing horses is so
variable In its requirements that no
small degree of skill is required on
the part of those engaged in the bust
ness.
1t would perhaps be correct to say
that no horse sheer is fully equipped
for his work who does not understand
considerable about the anatomy of the
horses foot. He should also be able
to detect defects in the animals loco
motion and should know how to shoe

How to
Improve
Them

II is easy to make COWS give an
abundant flow of milk In spring and
summer when pastures are luxuriant
and. the days warm. but In the severe
winter months the greatest skill of the
feeder is demanded to keep up the pro-
duction Of the dairy herd. By buying
plenty Of expensive feeds it is possible
TO do this, but that removes the profits
and the problem is. how to get large
production of milk from an economical
system of feeding.
Many dairymen make a great mis-
take in not keeping enough grain and
roughage to carry their herds through
the winter. Instead they sell grain
and roughage In large amounts and
as result find themselves handi-
capped for feed before spring pasture
il available. Unless a man grows
enormous crops. this sale of farm prod
net In its original form not only robs
the soil of fertility but also is false
economy, for the reason that In late
winter the farmer has to buy feed at
high prices when the supply is scarce
or has to sell his cattle because Of
lack of feed for them.
Much wiser is the dairy farmer,
who fills his feed bins and his silo or
his root cellar and feeds their con-
tents to his herd during the winter
He markets his produce in the form
OF milk and besides realizing a good
profit from It also has the use Of the
manure from the herd to return to his
fields. A money value is realized
from the grains and also a fertilizing

grain ration consists of wheat bran
parts, oats 3 parts, corn meal 2
parts, and distillers' grains 2 parts.
Where the COW requires variation in
her feed small amounts of dried brew
ers grains or oil meal are used occa-
sionally
Prof. w. A. Henry speaks as fol-
lows regarding these feeds; Wheat
bran is especially valuable due to it's
laxative properties. 1t furnishes bulk
and plenty of protein and ash SO es-
sential in milk formation The COM
bination of bran and corn meal is not
excelled as dairy feed. The bulk
of the oat though carrying little nu-
triment renders this grain feed of
light character which is easily d.
gestible. Oats contain a higher pro-
portion Of digestible protein than corn
or wheat. This grain in itself is a
well-balanced ration. Corn meal is q
heavy, rich feed and should always be
lightened or extended by the use of
bran. shorts. oil meal or some other
feed of light character"
Feeding experiments prove that
dried distillers' grains are more valu-
able than oats as feed for the dairy
herd. Cows are fond of brewers
grains and their use influences a good
milk flow. Because of the sloppy
character of wet brewers grains they
should be supplemented by some dry
feed In the winter ration.
Oil meal is very healthful feed

dition. with pliable skins and oily

clined to get quality at the expense OF
weight and substance. Shows are the
best advertisement that the English
tenant-farmer has for getting rid OF
his wares to the landlord or the rich
breeder.
Shows in an English summer are as
plentiful as sparrows. They are held
upon the slightest provocation, where
two or three horse breeders are gath
cred together. -
One of the most gratifying features
of the Shire horse breeding in the old
country, is that the rich man settles
in the locality. or suddenly becomes
prominent as a breeder of first-class
animals. He spends no end of money
on buying and maturing.
These often fall into the hands of
the farmer cheaply, and very often
the farmer sells back their offspring
at considerable prices.
Shire service is cheap in England,
when one considers the enormous out
lay OF some of the breeders, and the
tenant farmer, or the farmer whose
land Is only rented, has all the bene-
fits of his rich proprietor's patronage.
The old country may have old
fashioned ways, but the farmer
knows when he is well or and he
knows that to raise Shire horses sue
cessfully Is to have a bank balance
and to have no haunting fears from
disastrous season.

NeIahborhood Exchanges.

The difficulty of exchanging tools
and labor with neighbors is in the
personality. Some men will expect
to use borrowed tools all through the
favorable weather and then return
them In damaged condition too late
to be Of much use to the owner. In
borrowing labor this kind of neighbor
will work the hired man half to death
and then in returning the labor spend
half his time telling stories. In ex-
changing labor or anything else pick

Importance.
The Laurens County Medical Soci~

hces of Drs, league and Ferguson
Monday morning A large number of
the members were present and the
best meeting of recent months was
held, Three new members applied for
membership and were placed on the
society's roll. The secretary report
ed that only three more licensed prac-
t!tioners We're in the county who had
not become members of the society. or
these one has already signified his
intention of joining and the other two
it is hoped will be reached before the
next meeting
DR.. j. II. Miller, OF Cross Hill, read
the first paper of the day, contrasting
the changes in the commoner diseases
within the past twenty five years or
during the years which he himself
has practiced. DR.. Miller noted many
instances of such changes, especially
that which has come in the malarial
fevers. He stated that the regular
malaral chills and fevers which were
so common during his early practice
hove given away almost entirely to
other forms of malaria He also stat
ed that there has been not only a
change in the character of the ma
larial fevers, but there has been re-
Iu"tion in the number of cases. Dr..
diller's PAPER was very highly spoken
of by several members of the society
who afterwards gathered together.
DR.. Rolf e. Hughes read n very time
ly paper on "Adenoids and the Import
ance of EARLY Diagnosis and Removal. /"
DR.. Hughes stressed the Importance
of early operations. He urged es-
pecially the need of impressing par
ents with the fact that children should
not be allowed to enter school until
an examination of the child had been
made. The subject is one that is be-
Ing given a great deal OF attention
right at this time and DR.. Hughes
paper was given the closest attention.
Short discussions of all the points
raised. were entered into by the physi-
clans present.
