HORSES AND HOT WEATHER

Hot weather is always the occa-
sion of great suffering among horses
on the farm, as wcll as elsewhere.
We frequently hear of horses being
overcome by heat, or dying from the
an overheated condition.
One of the most common causes of
death to horses in hot weather is go
ing too long without water. 1t is not
Unusual for teams to be kept in the
field from one o'clock in the after
noon until seven in the evening with
out having an opportunity to slake
their thirst. The man who driyes
them has a supply of water in jug
from which he draws frequently. 1t
is safe assertion tha4 the horses
would drink nearly as often as their
driver if they had the chance to do
80. Anyone who has had to work
while thirsty can readild appreciate
how the horse must feel when in the
same condition.
Another common cause of death
among horses, and one that natural
~ follows the above. is drinking too
much water while warm We do
not believe that it Injuries a horse in
any way to drink water when he is
warm, providing the water is not too
cold and the horse is not so thirsty
hat he will drink a large amount The
great harm that comes TO horses drink
ing water when they are warm lies in
heir being so thirsty that they drink
an excessive amount Where horses
: gre denied the privilege of drinking
,Es they become thirsty it is no doubt
wise to keep them from having their
ill when they reach water.
The better plan is not to allow
horses to become SO terribly thirsty
that they will drink to excess when
they get at the water tank. If it is a
practical plan, and we believe it is
in many cases, water should be TAX
en- to the field for the horses as well
as for the men who work there. If
this is not feasible, then horses should
not be kept SO long in the field
There is more than the humani-
tartan side to this question, for with
out doubt horses which receive wa
ter when they become thirsty are
given new life Sust as man is renew
ed in energy when his thirst is
quenched. The horse with salts
fed thirst has more spirit and great
er capacity for work Then the occa-
sional loss of valuable horse
through overheating or drinking too
much water when warm is another
material consideration. Thus both
from the side of Kindness to animals
and from the financial side. it pays
TO keep horses from becoming ex-
ceedingly thirsty Nebraska Farmer.

Another Link Added to
Puzzle Of Mems Arrest

WASHINGTON, March ia ques-
ton Of the ownership of the land
where they were arrested, added a
new and probably serious feature to-
day to the dispute between the Uni
ted States and Mexico, in the case
or Edward Blatt and Lawrence Con-
verse. Americans held in jail at
Juarez, Mexico.
The state department demanded
their release, asserting that they were
arrested on American soil. The Mex
lean government replied that they
were arrested in Mexico. Inquiry de-
velops the fact that they were taken
into custody on strip OF land which
Is in dispute.
They were captured near the Rio
Grande river bed. opposite Guade-
loupe, Mexico. a few miles south OF
Juarez. where the ownership Of the
land has not yet been acted upon by
the boundary commission. Il is row
up to the state department to prove
Its positive assertion that the men
were arrested on American soil F"
Unless some rigorous action is
taken to force Mexico to surrender
the men. II Is probable that they will
remain In Jail indefniately while the
commission ponderously proceeds to
pass upon the land.
>The men were charged with aiding
the\
