shoeing is ruinous to any horses feet
unless frequently changed. l know of
horses allowed to carry their shoes for
three months, and some until they r
worn off. 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 500 come all right.
Blacksmiihs often damage a horses
foot by holding redhot shoes too long
at one place and by making shoes too
short and narrow, producing contract
ed hoofs, corns. side bones, etc. Black
smiths are often In a 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.
The enamel or coating of the hoof
| should not be broken or removed more
than possible.

to reach our Pacific Coast, and then
how long sitter they will reach the
Atlantic Coast. For example, if Il
storm coming from Siberia drifts
eastward around the north pole and
rcappcars in Alaska, it should appear
in Washington and Oregon in about
ten days; should get to the Great
Lakes in six days and to the Atlantic
Coast in seven or eight days.
Unexpected conditions may delay or

of these storms depletc themselves by
running into regions of high baroma-
ter which are of greater magnitude
and extent than the storm itself.
Some of them, however. travel COM

To keep tab on cold waves that

studies the Canadian weather reports.
ENGLAND sends reports from Iceland,
he BRITISH Islands and Continental
Europe. and daily reports come from
st. Petersburg on the conditions in
Russia and Siberia.
The same busincsslikc system used
in tracing the track of a storm is
aprlicd in determining the arrival OF
%frosts.
Food forecasts are made in much
the same way. Information as to the
! amount of rainfall at the head waters
! of streams that cause floods are COW
cred by Geographic reports sent by
local observers. AS this rain reaches

FROM
PAINTED DESERT

San Diego, Cal, JAIN. 22-Formcr
expositions have shown wild men and
women from the Antipodes. but it has
remained for the San Diego Exposi-
ton to find 4 whole nation Of wild
men within the borders Of the United
States, u whole vast area where no.
thing has progressed since before the
invasion of Mexico by Cortez in 1917.
This area is in northeastern Arizona
and the Santa Fe Railway will cover
ten acres of ground at the exposition
with as close a copy Of this country
as is possible to produce.
This locality is known as the Paint
ed Desert. Its a land where no white
man has dared attempt agriculture
or mining, where there is nothing but
the Indian, his ancient civilization
unaltered, living in six story houses
Of 100 rooms without an outside door
doing the same things in the same
way his ~forefathers did for centuries
before white men came to America.
Comparatively few white men have
penetrated this district. None has
remained there. At long intervals a
scientist has penetrated the fastness
Of the red and yellow hills. Indians
emerge from it occasionally but they
invariably return. Their homes are
the identical buildings erected many
centuries ago. Their pottery is the
same, used for the same purposes and
in the same rude manner Their GUS

Washington, d. CA, Jan. 22-Many
people have an idea that there is
something mysterious and occult about
the work Of the weather bureau in
forccasting the coming Of storms,
frosts and floods. Not Il few think
that the observers must necessarily
get their data by reading the planets.
the stars and the moon. AS a matter
of fact the forecastcr OF the bureau
forcteils the coming of disturbances
in q businesslikc way. very similar to
that in which a man who has ordered
a shipment Of good would estimate
the date of its arrival.
Suppose u business man had ordered
a carload Of pincapples from the
Hawaiian Islands. He would know
the average time it would take the
steamer to make the trip to the Pa
cilic port, the average time for I'M
loading and loading into refrigerator
cars. and the average number Of days
to be allowed these ears for their trip
across the continent to New York.
His estimate. however, would be sub
iect to error because the steamship
might be delayed by fog, or the cars
might meet with an accident.
Storms, like pincapplcs, as a rule
do not originate in the United States.
They come to MS, some from the Phil
ippincs. .Japntr, Siberia, Alaska. Can
ada or the Gulf of Mexico. The
weather bureau gets cable, telcgraphic
or wireless notice of n foreign storm.
Station after station, or vessel after
vessel, reports the storms arrival in
its n%ciglborhool. SO that the general
direction and rate of progress can y"
determined very nearly. In fact, the
arrival of some storms can be fore
told ten days in advance.
The forecastcrs watch for the re-
gion of low barometer which is the
storm center around which the winds
blow. This whirl or eddy moves bod
lily forward with a general eastward
drift of about $50 miles a day in our
ATTITUDES. As the lines of equal pres
sure (isobars) around the low center
crowd closer together, the winds at
tending the storm increase in force.
The forccastcr determines the direc-
ton of movement of the storm and
its velocity.
When weather disturbances are re-
ported, the forecasters know from eX-
perience about how long it takes them

DAIRY WISDOM.

Be sure the calves have a
warm and sunny corner in the
barn for the winter. No young
thing grows well in the dark.
Feed a layer from the top of
the silo every day to prevent
waste.
Don't attempt to cut out sec
lions OF the ensilage, for it will
spoil for several inches on all
exposed sides.
For the milking herd clover or
alfalfa hay and wheat bran and
oilmeal with ensilage will make
a most satisfactory and econom-
ical ration.
Get a thoroughbred butter
bred bull calf now. if you have
none, and grow him well to be-
gin to improve your dairy herd
next year.
With u good dairy sire and a
careful selection of hcifer calves
from the best COWS a man Of
moderate means can In a few
years own Il herd that will COM
pare favorab!y in production
with herds of pure blood.

Quality In Steers.

Quality In a beef animal is indicated
by the following points: Fine, soft
hair; loose, pliable skin of medium
thickness: dense, clean bone of me-
dunn size. The possession of quality
does not always mean that the steer
has better feeding ability, although 1t
has a marked effect upon the value OF
the steer after being fattened. Excep-
tonally vigorous, rough, coarse steers
often fatten more quickly than steers
that have quality, but r delicate and
dainty eaters. For the reasons above
mentioned the steer with good quality
usually proves the more profitable

Keep tho Mature sows.

The way some farmers have Of sell
ing all their large, mature sows and
keeping young things that have not
developed from which to raise pigs Is
a woeful error that brings disaster to
many an otherwise successful breeder.
Look to it that the mature sows which
show large filters and prove them
selves to be careful mothers, with full
udders, are kept to repeat their good
performance. Breeding gifts, picked
each year from the filters of well ma.
tured sows, become stronger with sue
ceeding generations and are increas'
ingly able to farrow and bring up large
filters of thrifty pigs.

rarely be necessary to move these
doors, as they may be open all th6
time with convenience. There may
however, be stormy weather at times;
then the sheep, the lambs especially,
may need protection, when the doors
may be closed. Handles should be put
on the doors with which to move them.
The rule should always be in all re-
spects in the management of sheep
that all accidents should be provided
against, and then there will be nc
losses to be regretted when 1t is too
late.

SHEPHERD AND FLOCK.

The root crop fed to the flock
now will be the key to success,
says the Farm Journal. Roots
go Il long way in giving tone
to the general health Of the flock.
If you haven't enough clover
hay for all winter save it for the
time when the lambs come.
Roots fed with the grain make
both doubly valuable.
1t is poor economy to feed tim
othy hay to sheep.
Sheep are the most timid and
nervous creatures, and fear or
, v excitement Is always
very damaging.
Fill up low places in the sheep
yard, and tolerate no wet or icy
places where the sheep exercise.
