Means Much to the Farmer When
His Four-footed Help is
Efficient

The horse is so much in demand at
this time Of the year on the farm that
it is well to look into his condition.
and keep him in the best OF strength
and vigor.
A state of staleness quite often SUI
pervencs in stabbed horses, as the re-
suit of long-continued regular work.
and especially so when the work is
hard and of rush order
But constant work alone is not the
sole cause-it is only a primary one,
for the usual stable dietary is likewise
factor which contributes eventually
to bring about such staleness on ac-
count of its dry character. Heavy
feeding Of corn. or other whole grain.
especially has this tendency. Oats en-
tail certain heating effect, though
in themselves oats is a perfectly
wholesome food, and the more heating
and stimulating the diet is, the more

BY stale condition is meant the
more or less impairing of the horses

the animals vital energy. and not in
its fun flush Of health and vigor.
The Symptoms Of Staleness.
One OF the most promising systems
of staleness is shown when the horse
ceases to thrive and loses bodily con.

drawn and looking somewhat tucked
up in the belly, the latter being a
specially Characteristic sign. The
coat of the animal appears harsh and
dull presenting "dried-up" appear

instead to d certain degree shows list

fifty steamships lay at anchor in the
