One Of Ex-Governor Pennypacker' S
best stories-and he has a rare cOllec-
ton of real witty stOries-is one bear
ing upon the prevalence Of divorces.
At a recent meeting, when he dis
cussed the need of uniform divorce
laws, the ex-governor told the story
saying:
TOO many Americans are In sym

THE FOAL'S feet
need ATTENTION.
An important Matter That Is
Often Neglected.

Many foals during the first months
of their lives grow bad feet and stand
badly, partly from nature and partly
from lack of proper exercise on hard
ground. Frequently the foal is COM
PEELED to remain in the stalls during
the early sucking period, and this will
almost always bring on abnOrmally
developed feet. Lack of exercise on
hard ground will allow the feet to
grow faster than they wear of, hence
the enlargement. Also, whether the
foal has exercise or not during the
very young stage. often the feet will
be more or less irregular.
The foal's feet should be examined
and trimmed frequently during the
and they should receive regular at
tentiOn till the fOal becomes full
grown work horse. After the frs
few trials the young fOaf will allow
its feet to be examined and trimmed
without trouble. In fact. 1t will sooD
seem to enjoy the work. In trimming
the fuals feet trim them so that they
Will be reasonably snort cGG level
Since the hoofs are comparatively soft
during its young age the work of trim
ming can best and easiest be done with
q strong sharp pOcketknife.
Where the hoofs of foal are not
trimmed and 1t is inclined to stand or
walk abnormally there will be more
wearing on one part than another of
the hoof to accentuate the abnormal
ity. By frequent trimming during the
early months of its life and keepinf
the feet perfectly level the feet anc
legs will gradually grow to norm.
position and shape, and the foal viii
walk with more ease and appear bet
ter generally. Allow the fOal the free
dom of good pasture as much as
possible to allow the feet to wear and
harden.
