A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment. Observe
blemishes, vice, faulty conformation,
unsoundness and general characteris-
tics. Common blemishes are a
from old wounds. poll evil, scratches.
shoe boils and small ruptures. Com
non vices are halter pulling, cribbing.
kicking, stall walking, weaving, and
biting. Common faults Of conforma-
tion are straight shoulders, crooked,
weak or improperly set legs, eve
neck, long, weak back and dropping
Group.
Common unsoundness are splints,
th%oroughpin, SPAWN, curb, extreme
fistula, ringbone, side bones, extreme
atrophy of muscles, contracted ten
dons and broken wind. General char
acteristics include fleshing, 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 diseasc) not conforming to any
of those discussed should aust 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
a 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. II 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-
tons. 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.
It 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. 4
horse should be valued by the amount
Of service he will perform rather than
by his minor shortcomings.

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
for Those Now Used, Because Of
Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price of many
of the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers to adopt or consider
the adoption of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes.
The advice of the bureau of standards
has frequently been sought in this con
nection. An interesting field of inves-
LEGATION is opened up by such inquiries.
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than others,
and a slight difference in price would
warrant Il substitution. 1t is not usu-
ally possible, however, to suggest SUBJ
stitutes offhand, as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical
and chemical properties that first have
to be determined. There is" says the
bureau. "a very wide field Of research
here, which would undoubtedly repay

Women in the Field Of Labor.

If by chance a woman does not be-

Guilty. The man has been in business
for generations; the woman Is n new
conner. Some em~ployments are closed
to her. either because they require the
great physical strength or endurance.
or because conventional considerations
forbid. Americans look with disap-
prevail upon women working In the
fields, as they do in foreign countries;
and yet there is much field work that
is more interesting. mor wholesome
and much more suitable than some
OF the work that American women are
allowed to do-such, for example, ms
they do in laundries and in factories.
Not only are women considered as
invaders In mems fields. but also they
suffer because men, invading fields
once considered strictly feminine. are
becoming dressmakers, cooks. laundry
managers and clerks. Moreover. for
the same work women received lower
nay than men. Do not those. difficult
ties constitute a compelling appeal to
give women in their schooling every
possible equipment for success?-

Psychology and the War.

Prof. G. Stanley Hall Of the Clark
university, United States, places the
subject Of applied psychology on =
high plane in relation to the var He
states: I
"Whateyer system has been EN-
ployed. it is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this wal which it was possible
to attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more heroism
and daring and have submitted to
punishment than in any pre-
vious war. No such slaughter would
have been possible in former wars
without provoking Il panic. This has
unquestionably been due to the sys-
tenn of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as Well think
of going to war without first-claxs mil
itary equipment as without a knowl-
edge Of applied psychology. The cOun-
Gil Of national defense seems to have
recognized this; and the National Re
search council within that body will, I
understand, contain representative
psychologists"

LATE POTATO BLIGHT SPRAY
Work Should Begin ~ Soon Al Plants
Are Six Inches High and Continue
at Intervals.

The weather conditions which favor
the spread of late potato blight are a
humid, still atmosphere with u tenn
p~erature around % degrees +. Above
7S II. and below SO f. there is prac-
tically no termination of the blight
spores. Since spraying for late blight
Is q preventive rather than q curative
measure, spraying should begin as soon
as the plants are six inches high and
should continue at intervals of one or
two weeks, depending upon weather
conditions until near the time Of ma
turity.
The effectiveness Of spraying as a
preventive depends upon the thorough
ness with which it is done. 1t is essen
tial that the whole plant be kept 0 II
stantly covered with the mixture If
the blight spores are to be prevented
from finding a place Of entrance into
it's surface.
The wheels Of the sprayer do not
seem to injure the vines sufficiently to
be q source Of apprehension, even
when they are large and cover the
ground, as is often the case late in the
season.

PLAN TO FERTILlzE TUBERS
Phosphate Recommended as Ideal
by Ohio Station.

Selection of q good clover sod where
potatoes have not grown for at least
five years, and the use Of barr yard
with acid phosphate are given
by the Ohio experiment station Us
ideal conditions for fertilizing pota-
toes. After % years Investigations
with this crop the experiment station
advises farmers to pillow under II to
16 tons Of manur per acre If plenty
is available, and then to apply about
300 pounds Of acid phosphate per acre
as a surface dressing. II Is
scarce four or five tons per acre may
be used, and then 400 pounds Of acid
phosphate along with 100 pounds Of nj
trate of soda will yield about the
same results. These experiments have
shown that fertilizer should be spread
over all the land and not confined to
the potato rows, for in this way the
potato roots spread out more widely
and succeeding crops make better use
OF what the potatoes leave.

ESTIMATE OF DAYS FLOWING
Time Required to Plow ar Acre De.
ponds on Size Of Pillow and Num-
Der Of Horses Used.

Farmers frequently want to know
how much land can be plowed in a day
and how much work it requires to
break an acre. Records at the Missouri
College of Agriculture or .,122 acres of
land show that it required "a hours OF
man labor and 9.3 hours of horse labor
for each acre. OF course, the time re-
quired to pillow an acre will depend on
the size of the pillow and the number
Of horses used. A four-horse gang
rlow with two Pinch bottoms will av-
erage about 4.12 acres a day of DC
hours when it is running six inches
deep. The same pillow running eight
inches deep will break a quarter of an
acre less. A three-horse sulky with a
IA or 16-inch bottom will average about
2.5 acres at q six-inch depth, and
about 2 acre less for the eight
inch depth. A two-horse 14-inch walk
ing pillow will break about Ito acres a
day at a six-inch depth and about =
acre less at the eight-inch depth.

WHERE TARLETON IS BURIED
American Tourist Discovers Tomb Of
Dashino Officer Who Won Fame
In Revolution.

What became Of Major Tarleton aft
er the Battle Of Yorktown? Except
for a very few people, says A. G..
Bradley in the Nation, everyone in
England has forgotten the very name
Of the young cavalry leader. But many
persons In America must have won
dered what became of the dashing SOL
der, and how 1t happened that in the
long years of war that shook England
and Europe his name never once ap-
peared.
When Mr.. Bradley, In a leisure hour,
entered the fine old fourteenth century
village church at Leintwardine, in
He%refordshire, he did not think that
the bare, unseated chapel promised
much of interest !; indeed, he was just
turning away when in a far corner and
partly concealed by ladders, buckets,
planks and other articles necessary to
the cleaning Of the church, he caught
sight Of q lofty mural monument. The
lettering on 1t ran as follows:
"Near this place are deposited the
mortal remains Of Sir Banastre Tarle-
ton-Baronet General in the Army
knight Grand Cross Of the Order of
the Bath, Governor Of B%erwick-on-
Tweed, Colonel of the Gallant Sth
Hussars-He represented his native
town Of Liverpool for seven Sessions
and closed his distinguished career in
this place Jan. %, 1888"
In 1913 Tarleton was sent to Portu-
gal, but was very soon recalled ut his
request, and with that exception
he never saw a shot fired after York
town or served anywhere abroad, al
though England vas constantly fight
ing until Waterloo. He got promoted
regularly, however, for he stood well
ut court and was a member of the
prince of Wales circle.
Tarleton belonged neither to the no.
hility nor to the landed gentry. He
was the son of Il Liverpool merchant,
an unusual origin at that time for a
dashing cavalry officer and the best
horseman, according to good authority,
in the British army. He had entered
oxford and had studied to become Il
barrister. but give up classics and the
law for soldering and a commission
at twenty-one years Of age. IIe had a
genius for the training of men and
officers and for rapid and successful
strokes.
On returning from America, how
ever, he turned from soldering to poll
tics: he lost no time in entering the
house of commons. and sat for his
native city of Liverpool for 20 years.
He became a major general in 1894. a
lieutenant general in 1901, a full gen.
eral in 1912, a barpnet in 1915 and a
G. G. r. in 1920. He also held the
full colonelcy of several cavalry regi-
ments in succession and was for some
years governor Of Berwick. He ap-
parently retired with his wife to
LeintWardone for the last years Of
his life, lived there quietly and did not
mix with the neighboring county fam
lilies.
