shoulders and showered kisses on his
little face. laughing and protesting that
the pretty dress would be quite, quite
spoiled. Then she Strengthened at
cleaning eyes.
IT'S good thing that you have some

tone that scared Letties flesh. Other

Lettie had always auivered under the

told the boy. and suddenly bent down
and kissed him again. "Good-oy: dear"
she said. "Good-by. little boy" Then

her cry out.

Jordan'S was a fashionable summer re-

summer under its magnificent oaks, rev.

mosphere and the pleasures that only

the bed chambers and all outdoors was

responsibility for the other.

Then she floated into the ballroom and

EXAMINING HORSES FOR UNSOUNDNESS

The nostrils should be of a reddish
pink color and moist and any varia-
ton from the normal color or any
discharge present are ground for
suspicion of CHAMBERS, nasal gleet,
or influenza.
Have Light On Eyes.
The eyes should be examined in
a clear light but not with the sun
shining fairly into the eyes of either
the horse or the examiner. The eyes
should be elliptical, which shows
normality and health, while spherical
eyes may be considered signs of dis
ease. The .whitish growth over the
upper part of the eye indicates cata-
ract.
"Parrot-mouth" and undershot
jaw are the chief mouth troubles
and comparatively rare. In the first
the lower jaw is not SO long as the
upper, and In the second the reverse
is true. In both cases the teeth fail
to meet evenly, and while not con
sidered unsoundnesses, they are seri-
Gus defects. The space between the
bones of the lower jaw should be
examined carefully to ascertain
whether there is any hardening or
swelling of the glands. Any such
swelling in this region is IN unsound-
ness.
The withers should be examined
for indications OF fistular swelling
with O. without discharge. The
presence of scars here is sufficient
indication for condemnation. The
top of the neck and the shoulders
should also be examined carefully.
The Importance Of examination for
soundness can hardly be over esti-
mated and methods Of detecting un-
soundness and undesirable confor-
nation of the feet and legs and also
Of the respiratory organs, will be
explained to the readers of the Farm
Magazine in a subsequent article.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-12-17

OF several feet noticing the general
conformation of limbs and body.
One of the most important joints in
the whole body Is the hook, which is
liable to unsoundnesses, frequently
very difficult to detect. An intimate
knowledge of the shape of the normal
hook Is absolutely necessary to de-
termine whether or not the horse is
sound In that part. If unsound, the
hook may have a bone SPAWN, a bony
enlargement on the inside and rather
low down on the hook, and also a
bog SPAWN occurring nearly in the
same place, but being larger and
softer, not produced by bony growth.
Both of these spavins may be de-
tected from a front view.
Frequent Leg Troubles.
The set of the four legs should
next be noted and any unsoundness
of the knees should readily be de-
tected. The most frequent troubles
are knees sprung forward or swayed
backward, known as calf-kneed.
Again viewing the hind legs from the
side the set Of the hook may be seen
and the presence Of curb noted. Curb
is an enlargement Of the rear border
of the joint and Is due to a straining
of the %ligaments. From the point
Of the hook to the pastern joint the
line should be perfectly straight.
In examining the head, the hand
should be passed over the poll to
search for poll evil or Indications of
recovery from this disease. Either
swelling or soreness of this region
is sufficient to cause condemnation
and If cavities showing operations
for the disease are found, the ami
NAL should generally be rejected,
since the disease is very likely to
occur.
Next the face should be observed
for scars that indicate trephining.

are taken elsewhere for feed. After
the sheep have been removed from
the field, the timothy plants and the
clover OF alfalfa plants have a short
time in which to develop some growth
before Winter.
A meadow composed of a mixture
of timothy and alfalfa or clover will
generally produce more pasturage
than a meadow of timothy alone. A
mixture of timothy and either clover
or alfalfa makes a better pasture
than either of these legumes alone.
The sheep or cattle are less likely to
become bloated If there is a consid-
cradle mixture of grass growing in
the field than if the clover or alfalfa
is growing alone.
