Harness Calls (sitfasts).
Wounds or abrasions Of the skin of
work horses are frequently caused by
limiting harness or saddles. When a
horse hns been resting from steady
work for some time, particularly after
being idle In stable on scanty al
lowance OF grain, as In winter, he Is
soft and tender and swcats easily, and
ls liable TO chnfe under the harness.
especially IL II Is hard and poorly
fitted. This chatting is likely to cause
abraslons of the skin, and thus pave
the way for an abscess or for a
chronic blemish, unless attended TO
very promptly. Besides causing the
animal considerable pain, chatting, IL
long continued, leads to the formation
Of callosity. This may be super
fetal. involving only the skin, or ii
may be deep-scated, involving the sub.
cutaneons fibrous tissue and sometimes
the muscles and even the bone. This
causes a dry slough to form. which Is
both inconvenient and unslghtly.
Sl0ughs OF this kind are commonly
called "sltfasts" and, while they occur
In other places, are most frequently
found under the saddle.
Treatment.
Chatting Is best prevented by bring
Ing the animal gradually into working
shape after 1t has had prolonged
rest, Ia order that the muscles may be
hard and the skin tough. The harness
should be well fitted, neither too large
lor too small, and II should be cleaned
md oiled to remove all dirt and to
mike It soft and pllable. Saddles
'hould be properly fitted so as TO pre-
tent direct pressure on the spine, and
he saddle blankets should be clean
Ind dry. Parts of the horse where
hating Is likely to occur, as on the
lack under the saddle, should be
leaned and brushed free of dirt.
The remedies for simple harness
gals are numerous. Among them may
be mentioned alcohol, one pint, in
which are well shaken the whites OF
two eggs; a solution Of nitrate of sill
yer, ten grains 10 the ounce OF water (;
sugar of lend or sulphate of zine, 20
grains to an ounce of water; carbolic
ncid, one part In Is parts OF glycerin.
Any simple astringent wash or powder
Will effect cure, provided the sores
are not irrltated by friction.
II a sltfast has developed, the dead
hornlIke slough must be carefully cut
out and the wound treated carefully
with antlseptles. During treatment II
Is always best to allow the animal Il
rest, but II this Is inconvenlent care
should be taken 10 prevent injury IL

harness so that chatting cannot occur

BRITAIN'S WAR BILL
SIX MILLION A DAY
England National Debt Will
Be Near Four Billion Pounds
at End of the Year.
ANNOUNCEMENT BY LAW

London, Feb 1.-The average
daily expenditure of Great Britain is
now 95,790,000 Andrew Bonar Law
chancellor of the exchequer, an
nounced in the House of Commons
today.
The chancellor said the total ex-
penditure since the beginning of the
war was G4,200000,000.
At the end of the current year the
national debt would stand between
G3,800 100000 and $4,000, 900 900. Ad-
vances to allies and dominions would
be approximately 9390,0O0,000.
The number of applications and the
amount applied for by the general
public for the new loan, the chancel-
lor said, were larger than ever before
The chancellor pointed out that the
total votes of credit for the current
financial year would amount to fl,.
950,000000. He said that was in ex-
cess of the estimate of Reginal Nc
Kenna, chancellor of the exchequer
under the Asquith government, and
that the increase was due to add
tional expenditures for munitions and
advances to the allies and dominions.
The average expenditure had in
creased by G1,000,000 daily as COM
pared with the first sixty-three days
Of the financial year. There also had
been an increase in expenditures for
the army, but it was proportionate
with the increase in the number of
troops, the army being fourteen times
as large as when the war began.
The amounts asked for, Mr.. Law
said, would enable the government
to meet expenses until the end of
May. OF the last vote of credit there
had been an unexpected balance OF
G76,000,000.
In making advances to its allies,

proval of the administration revenue
bill, as amended by the democratic
caucps, was voted today by the senate
finance committee and Chairman Sim

posal.
The 8 per cent net profit tax, in
creased inheritance taxes, munitions
excuses and proposed $100,000000
bond issue of the house bill are re-
tanned in the bill as it goes to the
senate, the whole calculated to raise
approximately $350,000,000. The net
profits tax is limited to run until July
|, 1921, and the munitions taxes
would expire six months instead of a
year after the termination of the Eu-
