IN SELLING A HORSE FROM YOUR farm
IT IS WELL TO RECALL These Things

To say that man buys or sells a
horse with intelligence implies that the
man knows the horse in every detail
Farmers Bulletin 779, published by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, gives
these details. This bulletin may be
secured from the Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee, Knox
willie.
Among the suggestions made in this
bulletin are these:
The soundness of a horse is one Of
the first considerations of the buyer
and should be of the breeder. If the
animal is not sufficiently sound to with
stand the use for which he is intended,
the logical time to learn of this is be-
fore the purchase.
Selections must be based primarily
on a thorough, systematic examiHa-
ton; the examination should be based
on clear knowledge of desirable and
undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence of unsound-
ness, but also the condition or seri-
BUSINESS of the unsoundness, should be
noted
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1917-05-11

Temporary unfitness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound
ness.
A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment
Observe blemishes, vice, faulty con.
formation, unsoundness, and general
characteristics.
Common blemishes are scars from
old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe
boils, and small ruptures.
Common vices are halter pulling,
cribbing, kicking, stall walking, weav.
ing, and biting.
Common faults of conformation are
straight shoulders, crooked, weak. or
improperly set legs, eve neck, long,
weak back, and dropping Group.
Common unsoundness are splints,
thoroughpin spawn, curb, extreme
fistula, ringbone, side bones, extreme
atrophy of muscles, contracted tendons
and broken wind.
General characteristics include flesh
ing, temperament, quality, color. and
age.
In final selection, look for the good
qualities and weigh them against the
defects.

The remarkable improvements that
have been made in labor-saving farm
machinery in the past half-century
have reduced the cost of farm produc-
ton very materially. The success of
the farmer depends largely upon the
wise use Of modern equipment. The
machinery needed to operate farm
successfully represents large invest
ment This capital should be made to
realize as large dividend as possible.
II farm tools were well housed and
kept in good repair, they would last
and do more satisfactory work. Some
times farm machines are left in the
field from one season to the next be-
cause of failure of the owner to realize
that this shortens the life of any ma
chine. In many instances farmers
have, by good care, kept their imple.

thought that neither will have an
opponent and will be declared the
nominees. We do not know any,
thing about Baptist, but he has
the endorsement of several strong
bars. Mr.. Alternately is too we'll
known to our readers to require
any endorsement from US. That
ne is popular and eminently fitted
for the position, no one questions.
We have long believed that the
custom of selecting young strip
ling lawyers for Attorney Gener-
al was one reason why so many
guilty men escape. The law Off
Ger Of the state should be the
equal Of the ablest member of
the bar who appears in the de-
fense of criminals before jury.
We have seen the i'll results from
weak prosecutors.

The Kaiser's Prayer
By Rev. c. P. Bridewell

Mine Gott will you be mine partner
You don't know who am?
| am the German Kaiser
De Emperor Will-l-yam.
You know whipped dem Belgians,
And mid bullits filled Russia full;
Und I'll whip France and Italy,
Und blow up Johnny Bull.
Now for all dem other Nations
don't give dam,
If you will be mine partner
Und whip that Uncle Sam.
You know got dem submarines,
All Europe knows dat well;
But dat Edison got a patent now
What blows dem all to hell.
Now, Gott, if you will do this,
Den you, will always love;
Und will'be Emperor Of de earth
Und you, de Emperor above.
But Gott, If you refuse me this
Tomorrow night at eleven
I'll call my Zeppelins g!nt
Und declare war on Heaven.
| would not ask dis from you
But it can be plainly seen,
Dot when Edison pushes dot button
got no submarines.
Exchange.
