HIGH CHECKING NOT FAVORED
People Beginning to Realize Horse 10
More Beautiful In Natural State
Hard on Colts.

In recent years there has been a
falling off in the habit of using the
check-rein on horses, at least to ex-
tremes. People with good taste have
come to realize that horse is more
beautiful in Its natural state and that
high checking will ruin any animal.
There are some principles governing
the use Of the check-rein which every
body who is humane agrees to.
Draft horses should have the free
use of their heads, unhindered. Drlv-
ing horses should only be checked
when necessary for their proper con-
troll. Check-reins cause more stiff
shoulders and weak knees than all
other causes combined.
Colts should not be made to endure
the biting bride over fifteen minutes
at a time. To keep 1t on half a day,
as some do, is to inflict one of the
worst punishments possible. Some
colts are permanently injured by 1t.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Much of the destruction to crops by
insect pests Is due to the failure of
farmers and fruit growers to detect an
outbreak at its beginning, and to delay
In getting the necessary combative ma
terial. Farmers who provide them
selves with insect poisons and then
keep vigil for the first outbreaks Of
crop enemies will bring through the
largest yields.
That great part of the annual loss
to grain crops due to insect injuries
can be avoided by vigilance and Wig
orous action on the part of growers is
not sufficiently realized. Frequently
insect outbreaks originate within
limited area, and when this is the case
1t is often quite possible to stamp
them out before any great damage has
been done. If the outbreak is general,
then community action Is essential to

Alfalfa may be successfully raised
on almost any type Of soil providing
that It is well-drained, free of weeds

(By A. c. SMITH, Minnesota Experiment

The hunger period which threatens
the United States and its allies In the
present war may be warded off, in
part, at least, by attention to the low
ly chicken.
The hen is the only producing crea-
ture that can be profitably kept on
small areas such as city and village
lots, that will transfer table waste into
a highly edible product. She selects
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses large part Of her living for
several months In the year, and dur
ing this time Is usually high pro-
ducer Of very fertile eggs. She re-
produces her kind much more often
than any other productive animal.
She can be cared for by women and
children and often by invalids and con-
valescents.
Other poultry, including ducks, geese
and squads, should also receive careful
attention, in view Of the present and
future food situation.

CAREFUL IN SHIPPING
Utmost Vigilance Urged to Pre-
vent Foods From Spelling.
Weather Reports Should Be Utilized
In Studying condltIons-ShIpper
Should Cooperate Closely
With Carrier.

tFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
Shippers at this time should exer-
else unusual care in packing and load
Ing their perlshable products. They
should grade their products carefully
with reference to the degree of their
maturity and select a nearby market
for the ripened products and q distant
market for the products that will hold
up the necessary time In transit to
reach the distant market. Weather re-
ports should be utilized in q study of
the weather conditions that are pre-
vailing In the different large markets.
to the end that foodstuffs that normal
ly are consumed In large quantities in
warm weather may not be sent to mar
kets where cool or cold weather Is
prevailing.
There should be fuller recognition
Of the joint responsibility of the ship
per with the carrier for the safe car
riage of food products to destination
the specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture point out.
Shippers should cooperate closely with
carrier by giving ample instructions
with reference to refrigeration and
ventilation, to the end that food prod
ucts may be properly conserved In
transit and reach channels of consump-
tion. Railroad agents could render
useful service II they were instructed
In some of the most fundamental
things connected with the proper care
Of perlshable shipments during the Pc
riod of loading carload shipments at
country stations.
Shippers, too frequently, through
carelessness and lack of knowledge
of the proper methods of protecting
perlshable shipments, leave wagon
loads ,of them exposed to the hot sun
for hours at time instead of loading
them promptly into refrigerator car
and keeping the doors of the car
closed between loads. The carriers
representative or local agent usually
takes notice Of such condition only for
the purpose of recording the clrcum-
stances for consideration In connection
with damage claims that may be filed.
The fact frequently is overlooked that
the carrier may render definite assist
ance In the conservation of foodstuffs
by cooperating with the shippers and
giving them all the information which
1t has as to the proper methods that
should be used.
Shippers should invariably notify
consignees as soon as shipments are
Forwarded from point of origin. Where
the distance to market Is short, the no.
tlfication should be given by wire, so
that the conslgnees may be in q posi-
ton to take more prompt delivery Of
shipments on arrival and thus elm
inate the deterioration that so fire.
quently takes place by the holding of
shipments long periods of time after
arrival at the market.
