CARE OF HORSES H0oFs.
Directions For Keeping Them In a
Healthy Condition.

VOS0Ssty S0INSssV"s
Hoof dressing often is merely a black
varnish, drying quickly and doing
harm, says DIR. A. S. Alexander in
Farm Journal. Commonly such things
are put on to cover up the marks of
the coarse rasp which has been used
to make the foot fit the shoe. If 1t is
necessary to blacken the hoofs on 60
ing to town or church, apply'a mix
ture Of neatsfoot oil and lampblack
or mixture Of tallow. lard and yellow
beeswax colored with lampblack.
To learn how a healthy hoof should
look. examine the feet Of an unshod
two-year-old colt and then try to keep
the work horses feet as nearly as pos
sible in that shape. If this can be
done, the horse will wear longer and
escape the discomfort or actual pain of
contracted loofs. mutilated and abused
in the shoeing shop or stable.
Another thing that contributes ma
teriaily to the welfare of the foot In
after years of hard work is the adj
mirable practice Of bringing the colts
up ice a month, standing them upon a
level floor, studying the hoof and then
rasping the walls slightly to keep the
foot trim and level. Train the feet
In the way they should grow and they
will not be so likely to depart from
proper shape In adult years.

variably shrink as the horse hardens.
This makes it necessary to readjust the
harness and the collar, or they will be
come so loose as to rub up and down
and gall the shoulder. Working horses
with one tug a little shorter than the
other will often result in a sore Shout
der. It is a splendid plan to wash the
shoulders each evening in cold salt wa
ter. This not only cleanses the skin,
but seems to harden it.

Fourth Of July "HeaIth Don'ts."

Philadelphia, June %. Fourth of
July "don'ts' dealing mostly with the
use or, rather, abuse of ~tirecrackers and
dangerous explosives have been com.
piled by the department of public
health and charities, which has issued
a warning against serious injury likely
to result from their use. Here are the
"don'ts:"
Don't hold frecrackers Of any kind In
our land after the fuse has been lighted.
Don't use pieces Of supposedly exploded
firecrackers for 'lighters.' They may
contain sufficient powder to put out your
eyes.
Don't hold "punk' or other "lighters''
close to your face to blow the ashes off
and make them hurn more brightly.
Don't hold your hand over the blind end
Of roman candles. skyrockets or similar
fireworks when setting them off. The fire
may come out of the wrong end.
Don't let small children play with even
the harmless kinds of fireworks unless
adults are present. They may set fire to
their clothing or burn themselves.
Don't leave matches within reach of
children.
Don't hang Japanese lanterns or lighted
decorations near ~infammable material
Swinging paper lanterns or colored tissus
paper placed around electric light bulbs
easily catch fire and should not be used.
Don't e%ndanger life and property through
fires. which may be caused by careless
handling Of fireworks, especially by the
kinds which carry burning articles into
the air. The toy paper balloon is poten-
TALLY dangerous as a cause OF fires.
Don't explode frecrackers, bombs. tor
pedoes or other noise making fireworks
near hospitals or homes where sickness
exists.
Don't neglect or treat by home remedies
any injury caused in celebrating. Go to
' your physician or to a hospital at once.

mails Sucking Lambs It Was Found
by Experts Improbable il the Ewes
Were to BE Kept.
The feeding Of ewes sucking lambs
Is a factor which materially affects the
profit derived from the production Of
spring lambs. \ circular just issued
by the agricultural experiment station
at the University Of Missouri reports
the work done with ewes sucking
lambs fed on rye and blue grass pas
lures.
Ewes were placed in four lots. In
mi lot ewes received grain on rye pas
ture. Those in another lot received
only rye pasture. In a third lot the
ewes We're fed grain on blue grass pas
ture. while those in lot 4 received only
blue grass pasture. The grain for both
ewes and lambs consisted of equal
parts of crushed corn, oats, bran and
rape.
The results show that the feeding of
eAuill " C"CS ol AtC HINl DiAC SAtSS
pasture was not profitable If the ewes
were to be kept. If the ewes We're to
be marketed with the lambs the feed
ing Of grain would have been profit
able, because the ewes which did not
receive grain became very thin and
were not in condition to sell on the
market, while those receiving grain
maintained about the same condition
Of flesh throughout the experiment.
There was little difference in the ef-
iciency of rye and blue grass pasture
for ewes sucking lambs. In cases
where grain was fed the ewes on blue
grass had decidedly the advantage,
while in the other two lots in which no
grain was fed the rye had the advan-
tage. The difference in each case was
small. Rye will come a little earlier
in the spring than blue grass. but will
not afford as good a pasture in June as
blue grass. because the rye heads. and
the sheep do not like coarse, woody
stems.

Sour milk and buttermilk are
we'll sold when given to the hens
to be worked up into eggs.
Always remember that a warm,
sunny morning is the best time
to apply the grease remedy to a
lot of lousy chicks.
Gapes develop in chicks be-
tween the ages of six and eight
weeks and rarely ever in a bird
after it is four months old.
Turkey eggs set in May should,
with proper care. be turned into
profitable carcasses for the holi-
days next winter.

worthy fact that with all the

becomes lighter as the hen grows

of rms. In a recent statement anent
the sinking of the Iusitania Senator
Stone said. "We all want to avoid do
ing anything that would bring the
country wen to the verge of war"
Last October on the floor Of the senate
Senator Stone said:
"When we are performing our duty
to maintain neutrality nations involved
in war should be careful to recognize
our rights and keep faith with us. If
they fail to Go so then the responsible
ity of violating a neutral power should
rest upon their heads. The government
of the United States will maintain its
position. but it is we'll for other nations
to know that we will not look with in
difference upon the violation OF the
rights and privileges of our own gov
eminent or u own citizens."
Senator Stone was born in Kentucky
in 1913. was educated in Missouri uni
versity and admitted to the bar in 1869.
He served three terms in the lower
house of congress and for four years
was governor of Missouri. He was
elected to the United States senate in
1909 and has since been regularly re-
turned.

we celebrate on the 4th
~ Of each July the adoption of
the Declaration Of %Independ-

TATH1LE we celebrate on the 4th
WV Of each July the adoption of
the Declaration Of %Independ-
ence, we perhaps do not re-
feet on the %stupendous influence Of
that document on the world as a whole.
1t is safe to say that no political pa
per in all history has had so universal
or radical an effect. Not only did it's
promulgation mark the beginning of
the life of our OWL nation and not only
was it the mother of the emancipation
proclamation, but its advent started
the wave of democracy and liberty
nov seen In every nation on the earth.
Surely Americans have a right to be
proud Of a document that has literally
inaugurated a new era of humanity.
Although it would hardly be within
the truth to say that the Declaration
of Independence had wrought all the
marvellous political changes that have
swept the world since July 4, 1916, it
would be entirely within the truth to
state that 1t has been the greatest sin
gle influence and therefore has the
right to be considered the symbol Of
all the forces that have wrought these
changes. And what a transformation
It has been! Then liberty was no.
where. Now it Is everywhere. Then
England had sunk to we'll nigh her
lowest stage Of despotism, France was
m%isgoverned and hopeless, Germany
was a conglomeration of inchoate
states, the Latin nations were in feudal
bondage, Russia had scarcely emerged
from semibarbarism, all of Asia was
as she had been for thousands Of years,
Africa and Australia were unknown,
