SORE SHOULDERS AND NECKs
Trouble Found In Many Horses Due
Ordinarily to Improper Fitting
Collars and Hames.

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
Sore shoulders and necks in horses
are, as rule, due to an improper fit
in collar orhames. Occasionally un-
even surface or hard lumpy areas in
the filling may be the cause, or Inn
proper care of the horse in early
spring before the skin and underlying
Tissues have become hardened to the
collar pressure.
Diseased conditions of the foot or
limb may cause sore shoulders from
an abnormal gait. A horses collar
should be fitted with greater care
than a pair of patent feathers on an
aggregation Of bunions, corns and in
grown toe nails. Why? Because the
horse has no means Of making his
pain known to the majority of driv-
ers, while the wearer Of patent leath-
ers can grin and bear it." consoling
himself with the thought that his un-
derstanding shows up well even if his
face does wear peculiar, puzzling
expression.

with fair amount Of springiness ON
pressure, smooth, even surface, and
adapted to the use required; as, f3r
instance. a heavy collar for heavy
draft work, while q lighter one can
be used for driving horses. Let it be
sufficiently long that the hand may
be easily passed beneath the under
surface Of the neck and wide enough
that tho fingers can just be passed
between the front border and the side
of the neck.
This rule varies somewhat, Of
course, in the various types of horses
as some thiek-necked horses expand
the neck when drawing load. These
will require slightly wider collar
Let the collar fit snugly over the en-
tire bearing surface. Having fitted
the collar, next comes the fitting Of
the names to the collar and the prop
er adjustment of the height Of the
attachment of the tug.

Cleanliness adds much to the ap-
pearance Of a hog.
Hogs require attention regardless OF
conditions, age or sex.
A hog once stunted can never be
fed so economically afterwards.
Barley has practically the same feed
ing value as oats for work bosses.
Pure bred stock fed literally and
handled right will surely make q
profit.
Farming on a business basis elm
mates small mules just as it displaces
small horses.
It is conducive to health to feed hogs
when they can have the range Of the
pasture field.
Bran is worth more pound for pound
as q part Of a ration for a work horse
than alfalfa meal.
Dusty feeding places are very in
furious and lack Of sunshine for early
pigs is detrimental.
The young pig wants to be got out
into the sunshine and on to the dirt,
as early in life as possible.
If pigs are well fed they will usual
ly wean themselves at the proper
t!:ae, without any trouble.
A good way to make start with
the use of cement ON the farm IL to
build q concrete feeding floor for hogs
The general health and condition Of
work horses is greatly influenced by
the regularity and manner of feed
ing.
One of the most common mistakes
is to let the colt grow up big enough
| to work before bothering to teach hin
much.

platform made of several planks. The
one shown is made Of three half bar

larger than the other two. They were
held in place on the planks with a

were notched to fit the barrels. Two
short pieces of pipe connect the cen

A Perfectly Dioested Breakfast Makeo

Everything goes wrong If the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud

Lambs and Parasites.

The greatest loss of lambs is due to
tape, stomach and lung worms. and
these parasites are always most num-
erous In old pastures; the proper
plan is to frequently shift pastures.
When they are attacked there are
numerous remedies, but one of the
simplest and best is tablespoonful

used as a drench twice about three
days apart. Care must be taken to
avoid strangling.

that awful pace. He got his for
fair this time.
jeff Tesreau was the elusive
kid. The bean-eaters jumped
on IL of his spitters at that.
The account of that first in
ming will be found in the obituary
notices. The first home-runs OF
the series came yesterday when
Gardner and Doyle each pro-
PEELED one of the four-sackers.
McGraw framed a system which
had Woods angora dashed to the
mast. "Hit the first ball pitch
ed" he ordered-and most OF
them did.
Charlie Hall Gust think OF 1t,

the day. Chas. batted perfectly,
getting three hits out Of three
times to bat.
For genuine, pure, unadulterat-
ed excitement the close running
in this worlds series is enough
to wreck anybody's nervous sys-
tenn.

been an unusual one for Hooper

TACOMA SHOULD PLAY
BEST GAME OF SEASON

termine the standings in the stu
dies knock out some of the play
ers it will be hard to say just
how many and which men will be
sent on the trip this week. There
are more than two complete sets
of backs since Rushmer is getting
into shape again and Ives has
threatened to root Horejs from
fullback position. After being
laid up for the first two games of
the season, Rushmer was showed
into the last quarter of the game
with Olympia and on the first
down the bad ankle was hurt
again. He will probably be in
shape for the Spokane game.
Horejs' knee is about we'll and
the supposed fractured arm prov
ed to be an injury which he re-
ceived two years ago and will
hardly keep him out.
Coach Perkins is not certain
how many men he will take on
the Spokane trip nor just what
day they will leave, put it is ex-
pected that they will go Thurs
day evening, giving them chance
to rest after the long trip and to
have a workout ON Friday In Spo-
kane. The team was sent through
signal practice yesterday after
noon. copeland and Pringle were
not out but are expected TO be all
right for the week S work.
The Sophomores defeated the
Juniors Monday afternoon in the
