LOOSE COLLARS ON HORSES
Cause Of More Sore Shoulders Than
Tight cnes-Wash Sore Spots
With Water at Night.

Loose collars make more sore
shoulders than tight ones. Use rather
long names, and squeeze the collar
snug against the sides of the neck.
Lift the collar up once in a while and
let the breeze cool the shoulders off,
just as you lift your hat to let the
wind blow on your brow. Unharness
at noon, and wash the shoulders with
cold water at night. Get along with
out a sweat pad. Don't let the name
get under collar. and see that it isn't
wadded under the pad at the top OF
the collar.

FRESH EGGS ARE VALUABLE
Safest Plan to Market Only Those

ment Station.)
To have the eggs fresh market only
eggs that are gathered from regular
nests. disable eggs now may not be
usable by the time they reach the city
market, and all eggs of this sort
should be kept at home and used at
once. Do not hurt the sale of your
good eggs by including eggs gathered
from stolen nests, extra small or ex.
ira large eggs. The latter are like
ly to get broken and soil the good
eggs in the case. Gather eggs daily,
and as soon as possible after they are
laid; store in a clean, dry. cool place,
free from bad odors, until ready for
market.

One Way to Economic.

Less meat" is the cry Of many
economists; and some gay statistician
has calculated that if we each denied
ourself four beefsteaks a month there
would be no shortage. But, if it must
be meat once a day, why not call ur
the horses? (You cannot eat motor
cars!) There is still a club in Paris
reminiscent of the siege days of 1870
which dimes complacently upon horse
meat. And it needs but a decent cook
to give the horse his splendid sepul
cher at the human dinner-table. -

A convenient granary is 32x32x14

carrier it is very easy to raise a wagon
bed Of loose grain and turn it around
ead dump it in any bin or crib de-
sired and the scale makes it possible
to know the exact amount of grain

This is also a help to the farmer

hooked together he readily has stock
