THE HORSES HOOPS.
1t Pays to Watch For Evidence of
Lameness From ShoeinQ

Lameness From ShoeinQ.
You may groom your horse until his
coat shines like a mirror. but if his
feet are neglected the animal Will soon
become worthless. says Rural Farmer.
Draft horses are especially liable to
have poor feet if proper care is not
given. They do almost all of their
hard work at the walking gait
The feet should always be set down
squarely and firmly and lifted quickly
and evenly.
Stand back of your horse and see if
when walking the soles of the feet turn
up and you see the shoes plainly.
The fore feet of draft horses are
often poor. Watch them closely. The
ideal foot has beauty and it shows
strength.
The hoof should be large, sound,
smooth and symmetrical. The color
counts for little. The horn should be
smooth. waxy looking and free from
ridges Or cracks. The coronets should
be open, prominent and wide at the
heels. The sole must never be fiat or
bullying, but slightly cupped. The frog
and this is very important-must be
large, elastic. healthy and without a
deep cleft.
Go to a blacksmith that understands
his business. Make him fit the shoes
to the feet. Almost every horse must
be treated in different way.
Watch the feet. If you observe the
horse trying to save them in any way
Or imping have them attended to at
once.

Admirers of the Guernsey breed
of dairy cattle maintain that it
has no pronounced weak points;
that the addition Of Guernsey blood
in crossing with COWS of mixed
breeding will result in a higher
milk flow and in richer milk. The
deep and prolonged milking quail
ties Of the pure bred Guernsey, to-
gether with the adaptability to the
conditions of the average farm,
make this type of dairy COW a
formidable competitor to the breeds
which have a wider and greater dis
tribution. The production Of milk
that tests per cent and even 5
per cent and sometimes per cent
means much when taken in connec-
ton with the fact that the Guern-
sey is an economical producer. A
fine type of the breed is herewith
illustrated. She is an economical
butter producer.

How pitifully inadequate the meas
ures of precautiOn sometimes taken by
state legislatures for the safeguarding
Of live stock interests against disease
is rather strikingly shown in the
writer's home state. The last session
Of the legislature appropriated $4,000
for the purpose of equipping a serum
plant. In connection with this it may
be recited as a matter of economic his
tory that since that time in one county
Of the state alone, CerrO GOrdO. the
losses from hog cholera are put at
S1,O00,OOO and for the state as a whole
it is fair to assume that the losses Of
the past year will total between $780,
100000 and $7O,OOO,OOO. It would seem
as if an industry of the Importance Of
the hog industry Of the state was en-
titled to more protection than that af-
forded by $4,000 appropriation.
The 1913 farm year beats all records
with ten billion dollars worth of
products. Of this big total six billions
was in crops and the rest in animals
sold and slaughtered. The value of
the 1913 crop is twice as great as that
of 1899; more than a billion dollars
over 1909, and substantially greater
than that of 1912. Of all the crops,
however, it is estimated that 81 per
cent will remain on farms and that 20
per cent of the animal production will
remain On that basis, the cash
income is estimated by the department
of agriculture at S5,847, 100000. And
yet there is no lowering of prices in
sight nor any prospect of such lower
ing, for one reason. the food prices in
all the countries of the world are high
and we can export if we do not get
the prices at home. The prices of Ia
principal crops average about 20.2 per
cent higher than year ago and 4.6
per cent higher than 2 years ago. Their
total values average about 3.8 per cent
higher than a year ago, and 7.6 per
cent higher than two years ago.

DOING IT'S WORK WELL.

There is a field for systematic charity work n
every place where people live IN numbers, ard
where the poor are to be found. Work Of that
character is being done IN Raleigh by the on
eanization known as the Associated Charities,
and it is doing this work we'll.
There is published this morning in this paper
a review of the work of the association for the
past six months Of last year. 1t makes a most
interesting story, showing in what manner has
been expended the money which has been con-
tributed by the people of this city.
The Associated Charities of Raleigh deserves
the full support of the people Of this city, and ali
who are able should regard it as a privilege that
they can contribute III a worthy cause. Invest
cations made by the officers of the association are
such as to put the money donated to proper
use, and the work is SO systematized that help is
given where help is the need.
The superintendent, Rev. R. S. Stephenson,
who is ever diligent in his work, says that night
now there is a need for money to aid sufferers
who are not able to provide for themselves. 1t
is winter, the weather is Of the kind which calls
for fuel and clothing and medicine. Now is the
time to help the organization and there should
be a prompt response to the urgent call which IS
made for help OF the substantial kind.
