SORE SHOULDERS OF HORSES
Animal Should Be Given Frequent
Breathing Spells When First
Started at Hard Work.

When the soft horse is started at
heavy work, the shoulders should be
given a good deal of care. The horse
will need frequent breathing spells
and at these times lift the collar so
as to give the shoulder a chance to
cool and to dry. When it becomes
moist from sweat, it will become sore
much quicker than if dry. The col
lar should be kept smooth. If any in
crustations form on it, scrape them
off. Care should be used in making
sure that the horse has thsecollar that
is fitted to its shoulders. A misfit col
lar is apt to lead to shoulder trouble.
When starting the horse at hard work,
watch its shoulders and neck too,
carefully. = Extension Department,

GEESE ON RANGE OR PASTURE
If Grass Is Plentiful Fowls VIII Take
Care of Themselves During
Whole of Six Months.

Full grown geese can be turned out
on the range or pasture and if grass
is plentiful will take care of them
selves during six months of the year.
They must have green food at all
times.
During the breeding and laying sea-
son they should be fed twice a day with
cornmeai and shorts in equal parts,
slightly mOistened. If their food is
made sloppy it will cause bowel trou-
--ble.
Stale bread slightly moistened with
water is an excellent food and to this
should be added ground beef scraps.

The pulse is accelerated by the di-
gestion of rich food, by hot wealth
er, exercise, excitement, and alarm.
1t is slightly more rapid in the eve
ming than it is in the morning. Well
bred horses have slightly more rapid
pulse than sluggish, cold-blooded
horses. The pulse should be regular
that is, the separate beats should fol-
low each other after intervals of equal
length, and the beats should be of
equal fullness or volume.
Pulse In Disease.
In disease, the pulse may become
slower or more rapid than in health.
Slowing Of the pulse may be caused by
old age, great exhaustion, or excessive
cold. It may be due to depression of
the central nervous system, as in dunn
miness, or be the result of the ad-
ministration of drugs, such as digi-
tails or strOphantus. A rapid pulse
is almost always found in fever, and
the more severe the infection and the
weaker the heart the more rapid is
the pulse. Under these conditions, the
beats may rise to 80. 90, or even 100
per minute. When the pulse is above
cry is not promising, and especially if
this symptom accompanies high tenn
perature or occurs late in an infectious
disease. In nearly all of the diseases
of the heart and in anemia the pulse
becomes rapid.
The pulse is irregular in diseases of
the heart, and especially where the
valves are affected. The irregularity
may consist in varying intervals be-
tween the beats or the dropping of one
or more beats at regular or irregular
intervals. The latter condition some
times occurs in chronic diseases of the
brain. The pulse is said to be weak.
or soft, when the beats are indiStinct,
because little blood is forced through
the artery by each contraction of the
heart. This condition occurs when
| there is a construction of the vessels
leading from the heart. and it occurs
in certain infectious and febri1e dis
eases, and is an indication OF heart
weakness.
The heart lies in the anterior por-
ton Of the chest slightly to the left Of
the median line and extends from the
third to the sixth rib. 1t extends al
most TO the breaStbOne, and little
more than half of the distance between
the breastbOne and the backbone. In
contracting, it rOtates slightly on its
axis, so that the point of the heart
which lies below, is pressed against the
left chest wall at place Immediately
above the point of the elbow.
If the horse is not too fat, one may
feel the impact of the apex Of the
heart against the chest wall with each
contraction of the heart by placing the
hand on the left side back of the fifth
rib and above the point of the elbow
The thinner and the better bred the
horse is, the more distinctly this i'm
pact is felt. If the animal is eX
! cited, or if he has just been exercis
ing, the impact is stronger than wheI
the horse is at rest. If the horse i.
weak, the impact is reduced in force.
Certain sounds are produced by eacl
contraction Of the normal heart. It i:
customary to divide these into two. anC
to call them the first and second
sounds. These two sounds are hear:
during each pulSation. and any devis
ton OF the normal indicates some alter
alton in the structure OF the function

The pulse Of a horse may be counted
and its character determined at any
point where a large artery is close to
the skin and above hard tissue, such
as a bone, cartilage, or tendon. The
most convenient place for taking the
pulse is at the jaw. The external max
Hilary artery runs from between the
jaws, around the lower border of the
jawbone, and up on the outside Of the
jawbOne to the face. It is located i'm
mediately in front of the heavy mus
cles of the cheek. Its throb can
be felt most distinctly just before it
turns around the lower border of the
jawbone. The balls of the first 5and
second or of the second and third
fingers should be pressed lightly on the
skin over this artery when its pulsa-
lions are to be studied.
The normal pulse of the healthy
horse varies in frequency as follows {:

Count Tisza, the Iron Man." of
Austria-Hangary, has been for many
years the leader of the pro-German
party in the Dual Monarchy and was
the last survivor of the little group Of
statesmen who surrounded Emperor
Francis Joseph when the European
war began On the accession of
Emperor Charles the majority of the
officials of the previous regime were
either dismissed or resigned. There
have been persistent reports from
many sources that Emperor Charles
keenly resented the dominance OF
Berlin in Austro-Hungarian affairs,
and that Count Tisza was the one
great obstacle which prevented him
from freeing his empire from the in
fluence of Potsdam.
There have been several reports
recently that the fall of Premier
Tisza was imminent, hut the rigid
censorship imposed by Vienna has
prevented the outside world from
learning the exact condition OF af-
fairs. At the outbreak of the war
a truce was declared between the
policicial parties in Hungary, but last
August Count AppOnyi. leader of the
