CARING FOR
FARM HORSES
BY Observing a Few Precautions
Farmer May Avoid Loss of
Time, Expense and In.
Jury to Animals.
(By H. E. KINGMAN.)

A horse cannot do satisfactory work
with shoulders that pain him every
time he takes a step. The horse may
expected to do SO much work, and II
some of the mechanism Is out of order
then the amount of work Is lessened
But, also, the animal must be looked
upon as a creature with feeling and
ambition, taking pride in its work, that
is willing. obedient and therefore
valuable servant, and should be proper
ly cared for.
The first thing of Importance to con-
slider in the draught horse is the col
lar. Most OF the injured shoulders are
the result of poorly fitting collars, and
the fault usually lies in a collar. being
too large. 1t Is good idea to have a
harness maker fit the collars to your
| horses. He may be able to remove
padding and in other ways make the
collar over so that it will fit nicely.
Heavy collar pads are to be avoided If
possible. They are hot and cause the
shoulders to sweat: this keeps the pad
and shoulder wet, and the skin be-
comes soft and blisters easily.
Dirty collars are probably as respon.
sible for sores houlders as i'll fitting
ones, in the spring especially. when
the horses hair Is long. He Is soft from
lack Of work, and sweats profusely
This forms gummy dirt that adheres
to the collar and makes, when dry, q
hard, rough surface. The ordinary
farm hand feels that his duty is done

with the back of his jackknife This
method, however, is not an especially
good one for the leather of the collar

LII
The truck farmer who is farming
without manure maintains the supply
of nitrogen in his soil by the use OF
legumes and buys fertilizer rich
in phosphoric acid and potash. In
this way he secures a better balanced

would be for the dairy farmer to
lengthen his rotation one year and
grow some highly organized market
crop that would sell for more than
enough to pay for the purchased
grain foods required to feed the

labor cost of raising calf should not
be counted, as the farmer should at
tend to this part Of the business. He
has abundant time not only to raise
the calves, but also to feed and help
