and unable to rise. This condition may
result from paralysis, from azoturia,
from forage poisoning, from lockjaw,
or from painful conditions of the
bones or feet, sucis as bighead or
founder. Lying down at unusual times
or in unusual positions may indicate
disease. The first symptom OF collie
may be a desire on the part of the
horse to lie down at an unusual or
inappropriate tine or place. Some
times disinclination 80 lie down is an
indication of disease. When there is
difficulty In breathing, the horse
knows that he can manage himself bet
ter upon his feet than upon his breast
or his side. In nearly all serious dis
eases of the respiratory tract he stands
persistently day and night untii re-
covery has commenced and breathing
is easier, or until the animal falls
from sheer exhaustion. If there is
stiffness and soreness of the muscles,
as in rheumatism, Inflammation of the
muscles from oyerwork, or of the
bones in bighead, or of the feet in
founder, or if the muscles are stiff
and beyond control of the animal, as
in lockjaw, standing position is main
tanned, because the horse seems to
realize that when he lies down he will
be unable to rise. A horse with collie
may sit upon his launches. like a dog,
or may stand upon his hind feet and
rest upon his knees in front, or he
may endeavor to balance himself upon
his back with all fOur. feet in the air
These positions are assumed because
they give relief from pain by lessen
ing pressure or tension upon the SEN
sltive structures.
By observing the condition of nutri-
ton one may be able to determine TO
certain extent the effect that the dis
ease has already had upon the animal
and to estimate the amount of strength
that remains and that will be available
for the repair of the diseased tissues.
A good condition is shown by rotun-
dity of the body, piiability and soft
ness of the skin, and the tone of the
hair. When the bony prominences
stand out, the skin is tight and inelas-
tic, and the coat dry and harsh, low
state of nutrition is indicated. This
may have resulted from Il severe and
long-continued disease or from lack of
proper feed and care. When an ami
NAL becomes thin. there is first loss
of fat and later the muscles shrink
The amount of shrinkage in the mus
cles is an indication of the duration of
the unfavorable conditions under which
the animal has lived.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

How to loosen tender corn

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone. applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

WEIGHT AND QUALITY
ARE BIG ESSENTIALS
Heavy Demand, but Small Sup
ply of Large, Sound Animals,
Says Kansas Expert.

Weight combined with quality is
the prime essential in determining the
value of work horse, in the opinion
of DIR. c. w. McCampbell, associate
professor of animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
To-day the demand is the greatest
and the supply the smallest for the big,
sound, smooth, well made, .easy-going
horse with substance and quality" said
Doctor McCampbell. "Such horses can
be produced only by breeding the best
farm mares to the best purebred draft
stations. Then the colt from this
mating must be literally fed from the
time he begins to eat until maturity"
Prices for work horses of different
weights have ranged on the Chicago
market during the last year approx
mately as follows: 1900 to 400 pound
horses, $3.50 to S1s5; 1,40O to 1,5o0
pound horses, $1S5 to $215; 1900 to
1.G00 pound horses, S215 to $3.50; 1000
pounds or more, $3.50 to $500.
