HOT-WEATHER RULE.

1. Load lightly, and drive slowly.
2. Stop in the shade if possible.
8. Water your horse as often as
possible. So long as a horse is
working, water in small quaint
ties will not hurt him. But
let him drink only a few swal-
lows if he is going to stand
still. Do not fail to water him
at night after he has eaten his
hay.
4, When he comes in after work,
sponge off the harness marks
and sweat, his eyes, his nose
and mouth and the dock. Wash
his feet but not his legs.
5. If the thermometer is Is de-
grees or higher, wipe him all
over with a damp sponge, using
vinegar water if possible. Do
not wash the horse at night.
6. SatuSday night, give a bran
mash 1ukewarm;' and add a
tablespoonful of saltpetre.
Z. Do not use a horse-hat, unless 1t
is a canopy-top hat The or
binary bell-shaped hat does
more harm than good.
8. A sponge on top Of the head, or
even @ cloth is good if kept
wet. If dry it is worse than
nothing.
: 9. If the horse is overcome by heat,
get him into the share re-
move his harness an bride,
wash out his mouth, sponge
him all over, shower his legs,
and give him two ounces of
aromatic spirits Of ammonia,
Sor two ounces of sweet spirits
of nitre, in a pint Of water;
or give him a pint of coffee
warm. Cool his head at once,
using cold water, or, if neces-
sary, chopped ice, wrapped in
g. cloth.
10. If the horse is off his feed, try
him with two quarts of oats
mixed with bran, and a little
salt or sugar. Or give him
oatmeal Cruel or barley water
to drink. !
II. Watch your horse. If he stops
sweating suddenly. or if he
breathes short and quick, or If
his ears droop, or if he stands
with his legs braced sideways
he is in danger of a heat or sun
stroke and needs attention al
once.
~. If it is so hot that the horse
sweats in the stable at night
tie him outside, with bedding
under him. Unless he cools Off
during the night, he cannot
well stand the next days heat

REQUIREMENTS OF
AUTO LIGHTING LAW

The department of motor vehicles
has completed tests upon devices sub
mftted to the manufacturers to date
and has passed upon and issued a list
of approved appliances. In making
this announcement the department
especially calls to. the attention of the
public the fact that its list probably
does not include all Of the appliances
and devices which will fill the re-
quirements of the law and that the
conditions imposed by the law are
of a fixed nature, and that any de-
vice, whether passed upon by the
department or however applied to any
machine, provided it produces the re-
suits required to comply with the test
prescribed by the law, will protect the
owner.
The department is satisfied that
the requirements Of the law can be
met by the application of any one Of
several homemade adjustments. For
example, by etching or covering the
glass front front or part of the front
of each lamp with some partially
transparent material, or by tipping
the lamp to defect the rays, or by a
combination of both. The department
will not recommend any particular
device or appliance.
The following is the section of
Chapter 333 of the Public Acts of
1917 which relates to lights: Every
motor vehicle. except a motor cycle,
