Excellent Farr7 Draft Horses.

The custom, almost universally fol-
lowed, of giving the morning meal be-
fore water, is not very Objectionable,
either theoretically or practically. At
this time there is no depletion of fluid,
consequently the horse is not very
thirsty and does not drink rapidly or
excessively and apparently very little
evil results from this method. How
ever, the writer much prefers that the
horse should have an opportunity to
drink what is good for him before the
morning meal
Personally, l much prefer keeping
horses, both summer and winter, in
an open shed, with large water tank
In the yard, to tying them by the
head in barn.
Not only in giving water to horses
must care be exercised but in every
other way.
Many good driving horse has his
years OF usefulness cut short by being
left in the hands of some person who
does not know how to take care of a
horse or does not care what happens
" lhe HOl sc lndl AdppellS W COiue III
to his hands.
One of the most common ways of
injuring driving horse is by driving
him hard in cool weather, and when
the horse has been brought into a
sweat, leaving him uncovered and ex-
posed to cold winds or to drafts in
a stable.
1t is seldom necessary to drive a
horse SO hard on a cool day that he
will be in sweat. In warm weather
it is different, as the horse, then
sweats with little exertion
When the horse has been driven un-
til he is covered with foam and sweat,
he should be taken into stable, rub
bed down with whisps of hay or piece
of rough cloth, and then blanketed.
The neglect of such precautions has
resulted in many horse catching a
cold that has proved serious.
Driving is science itself, and there
are many mature people who have not
learned how to drive a horse. They
have no idea as to the amount of work
he is able to perform without lessen
ing his vitality.
1t must be remembered that horse
as well as man. is limited as to what
he can do.

IT HAPPENED IN COLORADO

Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture was talking on the
Mauretania about the record crops of
1912.
''These wonderful crops" he said
''are almost enough to make you be-
licve the crosseut saw story.
"a farmer, you know, sent his
hired man to neighbours with note
saying:
- Friend Smith: Will you please
lend me your crosscut saw, as l wish
to cut watermelon up, SO as to get t
into my dray?'
1.-THE neighbor wrote back:

for their carelessness, as they have
been paid as much for poor cream as
good. OF course this sort of business
did not offer any inducement to send
good sweet, clean cream to market
and to send it often. Now that many
of the big creameries have started
into this campaign of education the
farmer who produces the best cream
will have the advantage over the care
less and Indifferent dairyman that he
should have, as it puts premium on
good cream.

"It would tend to show that I've WAS

"Such remark would excite "A suspic-
