KEEPING HORSES NECK WELL
Much May Be Done to Prevent ScFo
Shoulders by Good Fitting Col
lar and HameS.

A good collar, fitting the horses
neck, and names adjusted to fit the COL
lar without too great down and side
draft will do much to prevent sore
shoulders, says DR.. M. 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 tho top Of the
shoulder is raw.
Some horses have abnormally
shaped shoulders. In this case, the
agricultural college veterinarian sug-
gests DR.. J. c.. Curryers plan Of soak
ing the collar day or two in water
Just before it is used on the horse.
While soft from soaking. the collar
will adjust itself to the horses ShOul-

"Prevention," he says, sis easier
than cure" but there are several Sim
pie remedies recommended. White
lead ground in oil is good. Stove
backing is a useful remedy. 1t forms

many Extra Eteps.

Portable corncribs holding from 100
to 200 bushels are a great convenience
in the summer feeding Of hogs, espe-
cially when the animals are being
kept in a distant field. Even when
they are FED in yards, the portable
cribs will save the feeder many steps.
If the cribs are built on skids, the
feeding may be distributed in summer

soil, the transplanting being done in
such manner as to insure the mini.
mum check in growth.
Two or three transplantings while
in plant beds are essential to secure
short, strong, stalky plants with a
compact, fibrous root system.
In transplanting we move a chunk
Of earth about four inches square with
each plant. We make rows three and
half or four feet apart and space
the plants 16 to IS inches in the row.
Each plant is confined to single
branch and trained to stake. Strong
Irvine is used to secure the plant to
the stake, one such support being
used just below each cluster.
The string is first made secure to
the stake, single knot will usually
answer and then the stalk Enclosed.
a double knot being necessary In this
case. Ample allowance should be made
for subsequent growth of stalks.
A lateral will appear at each leaf
joint and these must be removed at
once in order that the entire strength
Of the plant be directed into the
growing Of the single stalk and the
development Of the fruit cluster there
on.
In our own experience we have
found that this method Of culture has
decided advantage over other meth
DDS. First, gain Is made in securing
early maturity Of fruits; second, the
fruit is larger and finer in quality.
While there are not so many indi'
vidual fruits as where permitted to
branch freely there is gain in size
and a very decided gain in the number
Of perfect specimens.
The fruit being held suspended, the
influence Of the suns rays reaches
every portion of its surface, resulting
in higher and more perfect coloring

WHY SHEEP SHOULD BE KEPT

PROTECT TOOLS FROM RUST
Mixture of Lard and Common Resin
Is Recommended-Appiy Thin
Coating to Surface.

It Is hard matter to keep the tools
that have been laid away for the
winter from rusting, and any remedy
ought to be welcomed by the farmer.
The following has been recommended,
and there does not seem to be any
reason why it should not do the
work:
Take quantity of good lard. add
about two ounces of common resin,
melt them slowly together, stirring as
they cool This may be applied with
& brush Or cloth. just enough to give

than is ever secured when the fruit
comes in contact with the ground or
it's mulched surface.
Furthermore, air and sunlight have
free access to every portion OF leaf
surface, promoting activity in cellular
tissues and health in these tissues as
well. We found that grown by this
method there is scarcely any tnclina-
ton toward rotting in the fruit.
To secure the greatest benefit from
this method through earlier maturing
fruit it is essential that the pls nts be
extra large and strong.
