SORE SHOULDER Is
EASILY PREVENTED
Collar Fitting Horses Neck Snug

A good collar, fitting the horses
neck. and names adjusted to fit the
collar without too great down and side
draft will do much to prevent sore
shoulders. says Or. NJ. Ii. Reynolds,
veterinarian at the Minnesota College
OF Agriculture. Sore shoulders can be
prevented easily by little care at the
right time.
Collars must be kept clean to avoid
sores. Many cases of sore neck are
caused also by loose names saving
back and forth until the top OF the
shoulder is raw.
"Some horses have abnormally
shaped shoulders, In this case, the
agricultural college veterinarian sug-
gests Dr. J. c. Curryer's plan of soak
ing the collar a day or two in water
Just before Il Is used on the horse.
While soft from soaking, the collar

The chimney is carried well up above

winds have the effect OF driving the
blood Of the animal from the surface
to the internal organs, which frequent
ly results in diseases Of various kinds.
The COW should be isolated a few
days before the calf Is expected. This
will prevent any possible injury or
worry either to her or to her offspring
She should also be kept out Of reach
Of hogs. At this period cows become
cross and they should be handled
carefully in order to prevent danger
to strangers or owners.
II a COW does not clean properly
within 10 to II hours, artificial means
should be taken Immediately because
the prolougation OF this condition is
likely to injure the delicate organs

IL the membrane does not come with
the calf or soon afterwards, the COW
should be given at least one pound OF
epson salts dissolved in lukewarm
water This Is for COW weighing 900
pounds. The dose must be increased
according to the weight OF the COW
above 900 pounds.
Immediately after parturiton a COW
does not need heavy feeding. At this
period she is feyerish and her appetite
is poor. She Will. however. eat food
when put before her despite the fact
that her digestive system has no use
for It. This feeding will help to Gre

should be given her. and after 10 to

The COW should be MIXED four to ten

Oregon Agricultural college has found
pepsin to be a substitute for rennet

Pepsin is a ferment made from the
lining of the fresh stomach of a pig.

up for use either as a white powder
or In the form OF yellowish scales.
The scale pepsin is the kind used In
cheesemakIng. Four ounces Of a five
per cent solution of pepsin in water
are used for each 1000 pounds of
milk. The water must not be over 105
degrees Fahrenheit, and the solution
must be made up a few hours before 1t
is used.
While pepsln is not represented as
a serious rival to rennet for cheese
making, 1t may take the place of It

beautiful fabrics and garments Of all
kinds that were different. On one oc-

fashion history intimates, Josephine
had begun to put on flesh" She took
the idea of the classic Greek dress
home with her, and adapted the long,
graceful falling draperies to her own
figure. The girdling of a Grecian robe
does not suggest a waistline, Joseph
Inc added and emphasized this, and
made II high waist at that, revealing
the bust curves. She 'reefed" the skirt,
making II tight and also figure reveal
Ing. Thus was the first empire style
of waistline born.
Many of the first empire gowns have

have tunics and straight draperies or
trains. Possibly the upper arm of the

sleeve of the first empire was added
to the newly evolved style because of
this fact.
In any event, first-emplre styles are
adopted cousins, If not actual blood re-
lations, of the classic Greek dress, and
the Empress Josephine is credited with
this family intermingling.
The sketch gives a suggestion for a
Grecian style wedding gown. Ivory
white bridal satin is used with a beau
tiful Grecian pattern embroidery done
In silver thread on the tunic, bodice
and train. The sleeves are of geor-
gette, as obviously the sleeveless gown
OF the pure Grecian period would hard
ly be advised for twentieth century
bride.
The small sketch is an exact line-for-
line copy of first empire frock. In
the high and clearly defined waistline
one may trace the handiwork of the
Empress Josephine, as In her addi-
tion and subtraction methods of style
designing she transformed a Grecian
costume into one that would 20 down
