shoeing is rinous to any horses feet

horses allowed to carry their shoes for
three months, and some until they are
worn of. No wonder so many horses
feet are ruined. We frequently see
colts shut in stables for all winter and
no attention paid to their feet. and by
spring their hoofs are two or three and
even four inches too long and pasterns
sprung back and toes turned up until
you would declare that both feet and
pasterns were ruined. Yet when prop
erly trimmed and turned out to pas,
ture they soon come all right
Blacksmiths often damage u horses
foot by holding redhot shoes too long
ut one place and by making shoes too
short and narrow, producing contract
ed hoofs, cOrns. side bones. etc. Black,
smiths are often in hurry and some
times fit the foot to the shoe instead of
the shoe to the foot. which is the prop
er way. Another fault of too many
smiths is they do not cut or trim
enough from the bottom of the foot
and, ON the other hand, cut back too
much of the shell in order to make the
foot fit the shoe, exposing too much of
the tissues of the foot, thus allowing
water to soak in and oil to evaporate.

alfalfa and clover are the best rough
ages. They are growers of bone and

Weanlings ought not to be exposed
to the elements at night or on the
stormiest days. Access to a roomy.
closed shed or run in fours in a roomy
box will be found right. The run of
a good blue grass field will afford ex-
ercise and some feed. Plenty of ex-
ercise in the open with the chance to
grow a good coat is rs essential as
feed in making a good frame. Wean-
lings handled in this manner may look

hard to feed too much If the feeding
is done regularly and the opportunity
for exercise is right. Puffy joints and
cooked ankles. unless the tendency is
strongly Inherited. come from heavy
feed and not enough play in the open.
Weanlings do better when by them
selves than when running and feeding
with older horses.
Grooming when the bedding is plen-
tiful is not much in need under this
system. The feet should be regularly
looked after at least once a month. A
good hoof rasp is the proper tool with
which to level up the foot. Don't let
the toes get too long and keep the
hoof wall slightly beveled on the out
side to prevent splitting. Much can be
done to remedy faulty conformation
Of legs by skillful and regular atten-
ton to the growing colts feet. If the
stable is clean and free from mites at
the setting in Of winter there is likely
to be no trouble from lice Free the
colts from worms at the beginning Of
winter rather than wait for the foals
to get out of shape generally.

General Purpose Sheep.

General Purpose Sheep.
Considering facilities for handling
such as lay of land. feed, shelter, size
of flock to run together. etc.-each Of
the modern breeds of sheep has its
qualities. peculiarities. adaptability,
and some require more feed and care
than others, but all can be used for
special purpose in crossbreeding or
breeding up common stock.
The Delaine Merino eXcels in Ion
gevity, also in weight and fneness Of
fleece; but the lambs are not as good
sellers on the fall market as the Down
breeds Yet the Merino blood is the
cornerstone of the sheep industry.
The long wool sheep. such as Cots
wolds and I.incolns, raise large mar
ketable lamb. their wool is weighty
and coarse and is often discounted. A
cross between these fine and coarse
wool breeds makes one of the best
general purpose sheep for this cOun-
try we have.
These half blood sheep shear a
heavy fleece of medium wool. which
brings the highest market price. and
the lambs are better for market under
the care of the average farmer than
either of their full blood ancestors.
High class sheep are as beautiful in
lines of form and style as are fine
horses. So. after throwing out i'll
shaped sheep. the basic principle in
studying your flock of ewes is the
weight and quality of their wool and
the value of the lambs they produce.
If the flock is of two or more distinct
types it may be necessary to divide it
and use different rams until you can
Gull down and develop uniform flock.
which is most desirable. If your ewes
are Of good form and size, but shear
light feeces. or if their wool is coarse
like the Lincoln or C0tswOld De
laine ram will increase the constitu-
ton and shearing qualities of the
lambs. II your flock shears well. but
ewes are small. get an Oxford or a
Hampshire ram. If your dark faced
ewes. which yOa perhaps call Shrop-
Shires, are short wooded and light
boned use dark laced Oxford or white
faced Ramboutflet rams.

IN THE DAIRY BARN.

Do not ask the COW to make
milk and keep herself warm with
the same feed. At. least give her
fair chance to be protected from
the storms and then let her Use
the feed for milk making alone
The COW is Il machine that must
convert food into milk. This is
one reason why she should have
such a large middle, for there is
the place where the food must be
worked over.
Milk that is kept clean and
properly cooled needs no preserv-
alive.
Comfort is essential to profita-
BILE milk production. and a COW
cannot be comfortable without
good bedding. Don't forget the
straw.
1t pleases the COW to be MIXED
quickly and gets her in the hab-
1t Of giving down promptly. 1t is
often the slow mixers that make

D0NOVAN'S FIGHT AGAINST RAISING
 PRICE OF FOOD
Willing to Aid All Who Have Felt the Hardship of Increased Cost of Ilife's Necessities.
Especial to The Farner)
Washington, D. C., Aug. r.

Washington. D. G., Aug. IT, Representative Jeremiah Donovan has been active with the attorney generals department for the past few days concerning the boost in the price of the necessaries of life which followed the war outbreak. D1r. Donovan has received numer- ous complaints from residents of Fairfield county of the increase in the price of those foods which are necessary to sustain the life of the GOiHer. He has determined to de- vote all the time necessary to over coming this outrage and has been assured of all of the assistance that may be needed by the law officers of the government. Mir. Donovan says the people who suffer can best help themselves by giving state ment of the real facts in each case to a special agent of the govern mentn from the department of jus tice. Those who know of such i'm stances are invited to forward their names to Mir. Donovan and special Investigators will be sent here to look into the situation as soon as, possible. The administration is thoroughly in earnest and pro- poses to make am object lesson of those guilty of such outrages when proof of conspiracy is ob- tained.
 Retailers and wholesalers who, have been forced to quote higher prices arc invited to make known the conditions and in each in- stance the. supplier of Information will be protected from publicity Of course the government expects that the person making the state ment will specify the actual facts s which will then form the basis of an independent Investigation. In this way the government will be able to trace the source of the con spiracy if one exists and the whole sa1er and retailer will be fully pro- tected and the consumer will know just where to place the blame. All information furnished to Mir. Don Ovan will be forwarded at once to the special investigators who have the matter in charge and a prompt and thorough investigation will be conducted. Such an investigation will surely result in ferretfng ont those guilty of boosting the price and their punishment will follow.
