A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment. Observe
blemishes, vice, faulty conformation,
unsoundness and general characteris-
tics. Common blemishes are scars
from old wounds, poll evil, scratches,
shoe boils and small ruptures. Com
mon vices are halter pulling, cribbing,
kicking, stall walking, weaving, and
biting. Common faults Of conforn1a-
ton are straight shoulders, crooked,
weak or improperly set legs, eve
neck, long, weak back and dropping
Group.
Common un%soundness are splints,
thoroughpin, SPAWN, curb, extreme
fstula, ringbone, side bones, extreme
atrophy Of muscles, contracted ten
dons and broken wind. General char
~acteristics include 1eshing, tempera-
ment, quality, color, and age. In final
selection, look for the good qualities
and weigh them against the defects.
Engagements or scars (due to de-
formity, unusual mishap, or uncom-
mon disease) not conforming to any
Of those discussed should cause q
horse to be- rejected unless the nature
of the cause and the detriment to the
value and usefulness Of the animal is
self-evident. Experience gained by
examining large numbers Of horses
will aid in quickening the eye and
judgment, thereby making it possible
to perceive readily any unusual condi-
ton, but it should be remembered that
q hurried examination is liable to
prove a disappointment, consequently
plenty Of time should be taken In
making the examination, because time
is much cheaper than money tied up
in an unsatisfactory horse. If pos
sible, get a history Of the animal, and
While you are about it, get a history
of the person having it for sale. So
many defects may be covered up by
such unfair methods as drugging that
it is a good plan to make purchases
only from those with good reputa-
lions. Horses offered at auction sales
should be thoroughly examined pre-
vious to their being brought into the
ring, or else they should be tried out
in compliance with the rules of the
sale before time for settlement.
1t is we'll not to form the habit OF
seeing only the defects, for horses, like
people, are seldom perfect, conse'
quently in judging them weigh the
good qualities against the bad. A
horse should be valued by the amount
of service he will perform rather than
by his minor shortcomings.

APPLIANCES OF MUCH VALUE
Supply Bin, ~Self-Feeder, Feeding
Trough and Water Fountain
Can Be Made Cheaply.

Special appliances are valuable IN
poultry raising, according to Ross NJ.
Sherwood, acting head of the depart
ment of poultry husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. In
many cases these appliances can be
made cheaply at home.
The supply bin is used for con-
venience, and saves going to the gran
airy, pointed out Mr.. Sherwood. The
size depends on the number of fowls.
This bin may be Of metal or wood, or
even q tight barrel placed on the floor
or on the wall would answer the pur-
pose.
The self-feeder is used for feeding
bone, mash or charcoal. This feeder
has a sloping bottom, and the feed
slips down as fast as it is consumed.
It is we'll to have it on a platform two
feet high.
The feeding trough is used for moist
mashes. This may be made of wood
or metal. Often a V-shaped trough
with Stats across it is used. The only
objection to wooden troughs is that
milk sometimes gets in the cracks and
causes poisonous molds to grow.
A water fountain may be made by
taking a bucket, cutting a hole near
the top, and setting it upside down In
q pan. The top should not be fiat, so
that the chickens will perch on 1t, and
contaminate the water with ~droppings.
The pan should be on a platform so
that straw will not be scratched into IT.
The devices for small chicks are
nearly the same, except smaller. In
the %self-feeder, bone is used. A net
ting is placed over the feeding trough
to keep the chicks from scratching the
feed out.

This May Be Done Where Animals Arc

Change Gradually.

Calves especially strong at birth may
be put on separated milk entirely at
two weeks of age, but this should not
be attempted with weak ones Until
the calf is in vigorous and thrifty con-
dition no attempt should be made to
change to separated milk. This change
should always be made gradually.
