they were taught one of the most i'm
portant things in horse-breaking,
namely, to stand tied when hitched.
This one quality is about half Of
the education of a horse, and without
it no horse is properly broken.
When old enough to eat solid food,
they were fed each day, and later on
turned out to pasture, but still were
given some extra feed and their
mothers milk until ready to wean,
when they were put out in a good
grazing field.
The dams were well fed, and regu-
larly worked at least eleven months
out of the twelve, If the weather per-
mitted. They kept in good working
order, did good work all the year
round, and four out Of five raised a
thrifty colt.
Never let a colt grow to any age
and size without halter breaking him.
Hundreds of valuable young horses
are much injured in disposition by
letting them run until they are from
two to three years of age, and then
for the first time cornered in a stall
by several farm hands, which may be
a frolic to the latter but quite the
contrary to the former.

Excellent Lesson from Automobile

When ice forms on the streets and

in order to travel in safety, it's a

On soon wear OF, however, and then
the horse is in as bad shape as ever.
That is, unless his owner chances to
have bought him set of anti-skidding
chains.
For the makers of harness and
horse accessories have learned from
the motorist, and today chains are
made to fit horses hoofs, clad in
which they can safely traverse the
most slippery hill.
The anti-skid attachments are very
simple, consisting Of a stout strap a
bit of rope and two strong chains that
go under the horses hoof and take
firm hold on the icy surface.
Several hundred of these horse
chains" have been sold this winter,
though it costs 81 to fit a horse out.

DREADED ATAXIA
What Active Treatment With
d.. Williams Pink Pills
Accomplished in a
Recent Case.

Mr.. Francis NJ. Poole, harness maxi
Or, of Garvin, Lyon Co., Mimi, says:
my illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains all through my limbs. At
first thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting more and moro
severe and | grew steadily worse. Later
a numbness came over my feet. 1t
gradually extended up my legs to my
spine and waist. By this time l had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and L
aost all control of them. At this stage
of the disease I was perfectly helpless
and from November, 1905, to April,
1906, was confined to the bed. My
memory was so affected that thought
I would lose my mind. I looked just
like dead person. My lips and finger
nails were blue. I suffered with ter
rible sharp, shooting pains and could
get relief only from the use OF morphine.

tors. ALI of them pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia. One said / could
not live year and another told my
wife all he could 90 for me was to give
medicine to relieve the pain. l was
discouraged and, when my brother-in-
law urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, I did SO willingly
for he had read of their curing case
similar to mine. I started to take the
pills in March, 1906, while was still
confined to bed. I took several boxes
when [ felt g slight change for the bet
ter and had a healthier look. was
finally able to go to the country but
kept on with the treatment. The
blush color left my lips and my eyes
became brighter. I took the pills a
long time and the next spring in May !
could walk around. In June l went to
work although still weak. L kept on
gaining and am now working without
the return of a symptom of my former
trouble and without losing q days
work. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People absolutely cured me and I
want all fellow sufferers to know Of my
wonderful recovery"

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David

he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,

harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap-

used-up feeling, which practically I'M

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close.
~ the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss Of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign Of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, if necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. It's tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DR.. w.

sILAGE is GOOD FOR SHEEP
Will Be Found Most Beneficial Feed
for Animals During Long Winter
Season for Feeding.
(By J. C. COURTER.)

(By j. c. COURTER.)
There has been great difference OF
opinion concerning the value of silage
as a sheep feed. In our opinion sill
age is good and safe feed for old and
young sheep if it is free from mold,
and if it is fed carefully. Moreover.
the central western farmer will find
silage most beneficial food to tone
up the digestive tract of his sheep
throughout the long winter season for
feeding. Silage acts through the win
through the summer, keeping a bloom
and a thrift on the sheep that is hard
to equal without it.
Lambs which are being fattened for
market need less silage than the older
ewes, and particular pains must be
taken to keep only fresh, sweet silage
for them. Cattle feeders find good
sound silage very excellent fatten-
ing feed in itself, but sheep will not
handle as much straight silage as cat
tie.
Lambs being fed for the market
should be slowly started on silage, CIV
ing them only a taste during the first
week Gradually then for three more
weeks the quantity should be in
creased until they are getting all they
will eat up nearly clean.
All these rules can be changed
somewhat, of course, yet they will
serve as a reliable, practical guide,
for they are the result of experience.
However, any farmer feeding silage
should remember:
1. Never feed moldy silage.
2. Never feed silage for a long
time that is noticeably sour.
8. Never start in heavily at first.
4. Never feed silage heavy in the
grain one day and silage light in the
grain the next.
5. Never allow silage to lay in the
troughs from one feeding time to the
other
6. Never feed silage that is notice
ably frosted.
7. Never leave the salt box empty.
8. Always watch the appetites Of
the sheep, and if they seem tired of
silage cut down on the ration until
they grow eager for more.
