ill-fitting harness or saddles. When a
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 sweats easily, and
is liable to chafe under the harness,
especially if it is hard and poorly
fitted This chatting is likely to cause
abrasions 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. if
long continued, leads to the formation
of callosity. This may be super
fetal, involving only tie skin. or ii
may be deep-seated. involving the sub
cutaneous fibrouG tissue and sometimes
the muscles and even the bone This
causes a dry slough TO form, which is
both inconvenient and unsightiy.
Sloughs of this kind are commonly
called "sitfasts" and, while they occur
IN ether places, are most frequently
found under the saddle.
Treatment
Chatting is best prevented by bring
ing the animal gradually into working
shape after it has had a prolonged
rest, in order that the muscles may be
hard and the skin tough. The hlrness
should be>well fitted, neither too ierge
nor too small, and it should be cleaned
and oiled to remove all dirt and to
make it soft and pliable. Saddles
should be properly fitted so as to pre-
vent direct pressure on the spine, and
the saddle blankets should be clean
and dry. Parts of the horse where
chatting is likely TO occur. as on the
back under the saddle, should be
cleaned 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 to the ounce of water;
sugar of lead or sulphate of zinc, 20
grains to an ounce of water; carbolic
acid, one part in 10 parts of glycerin.
Any simple astringent wash or powder
will effect cure, provided the sores
are not irritated by friction.
If sitfast has developed, the dead
hornlike slough must be carefully cut
out and the wound treated carefully
with antiseptics. During treatment it
is always best to allow the animal to

men callers drop in of an evening.
mentioning casually the spread they
had at this or that girls home, her
pride shouldn't urge her TO go these
girls one better and set forth refresh
ments that will be heavy drain on
the purse of her father causing
shortage in the family table for week
to come.
If girls father is a working man,
instead of attempting TO conceal il,
she should glory in that fact and be
proud of it. If her mother has I'M
fortunately missed having an educa-
ton, the daughter should not attempt
TO make her life miserable by con-
stantly reminding her of it and COR
recting her.
Where poverty exists, all the mem
bers of the household should make
the best of ii. Such a condition should
bring all the best in their natures to
the fore. 1t should be the aim of each
to bend every energy to help lift their
loved ones out of it. Few girls, even
if the opportunity was theirs, would
dress beyond their means when they
realized they could not afford it. 1t
is not the girls who have the most
dresses who generally look best or are
most admired. The poorer the girl.
the more taste she is obliged to exert
in selecting her few clothes. The diff
ference between boys and girls is that
Il young man who has poverty for
drawback will pocket his pride rather
than attempt to appear what he is not.
To be rich in pride yet poor in pocket
is the failing of young women. If their
notions are allowed to run their course
unchecked, their pride and poverty
lead them to grave follies.
One girl who was ashamed of the
house she lived in walked many blocks
out of her way to fool her acquaint-
ances into the belief that she lived
in n better place, only to be merciless-
served her locality remarked, What
are you doing way off her. Name. so
far from your home in Cherry Lane?"
1t was thus made known that her
home was in the most humble part of
the town. No girl is measured or
sought by the location of her home. 1t
is her own individuality that attracts
or repels friends or would-be lovers.
Give me the sweet-tempered girl ev-
erytime, instead of the proud one.
Men think the same way about it, !
am glad TO say.

WORTHY FRIEND OF FARMER
Especially Useful in Garden, Green

eggs a year. 1t has lived two years

beetles, worms, spiders, snails, bugs,
grasshoppers, crickets. weeyils, cater

toad consumes enough food to fill its
stomach four times. A single toad
will in three months devour over TO-
600 insects. If every ten of these
would have done one cent damage the
toad has saved $40. Evidently the toad
is a valuable friend to the farmer,
gardener and fruit-grower, and can be
made especially useful in the green
house, garden and berry patch.
