CARE OF HORSES.
Some Instructive Points Which Should
Be Followed.

|. Do not fail to provide clean, warm
quarters in which your cows, ewes and
mares can bring forth their young, Navel
i'll comes from dirt.
2. 1t is dangerous to expose young
stock, especially foals and colts, to
spring rain storms A days exposure, if
not fatal may stop a months growth.
3. 1t is bad policy to turn the stock to
pasture before the grass has well started
bad for the pasture and bad for the
stock
4. When the pasture season begins,
turn the stock out at night, instead of
in the morning. Then they will feed
through the night, and not lie down until
the sun has warmed the air and the
ground.
s. Get your horses into condition for
spring work-the young horses especial
". Many colt has been ruined by be-
ing put to hard work without prepare
ton. 1t is the same with green horses.
& In warm weather, thorough groom
ing is almost as important as feeding.
Without it, dried sweat, dead skin and
dirt clog the pores, make the horse I'M
comfortable and affect his health.
T. Look out for sore shoulders and
backs, especially in blowing. Be sure
that your collars fit. A collar too big is
as bad as one too small. If the collar
rides up, use a martingale, or a girth
running from trace to trace, back Of the
forelegs
s. When the horses are at work on a
warm day, lift up the collars now and
then to cool their shoulders, and wipe of
the sweat and dirt with bunch of grass.
8. Wipe off the harness marks on your
horses when you stop work at noon and
at night, and clean the inside of the har-
ness, the collars especially. The salt
sweat, drying on the skin and on the
harness, is what makes the trouble.
10. If the skin is wrinkled under the
collar or saddle, battle it with diluted
vinegar or witchhazel If the skin is
broken, battle it with clean warm water
containing little salt. Fix the collar,
with padding or otherwise, so that it
will not touch the sore spot the next
day. A little carelessness at the begin
ming may cause a lot of trouble to you
and suffering to the horse.

Sheep or Goats?

The sight of men in soldiers or sail
ors' uniforms selling buttons and other
gewgaws on the street is not pleasant
one Yet the fault may be ours, not
theirs. They may be honorably engaged
and quite as Inundated by doing as we
are by seeing.
On the other hand, some Of these men
are promoting business by methods
smacking of the strong arm, one OF them
pinning a button on his victim while his
pal demands a quarter, with the com,
ment. "We fought. What did you do?'
In New York, where this kind Of hold
up has become a nuisance, eight men
out of IL in sailors uniforms who We're
gathered in by the navy department
proved to be imposters, unable TO dis.
tinguish the starboard from the port side

who were discharged sailors scorned the
suggestion of job when he could make

tons-with little pressure on his reluc
tant patrons.
All this is regrettable, but it was to
be expected. Patriotism has always been
profteered upon. Rascals have always
masqueraded in the livery Of country's
defenders; and not every bona ide sol
der or sailor is good citizen.
For the sake of the honest soldier or
sailor driven to mental work, it behooves
citizens not to be oversuspicious At the
same time it is their duty not only to
society but to the honorable returned
soldier or sailor promptly to report to
the authorities, either civil or military,
any DULLES or strong armers with whom
they come in contact. Chicago Evening

WORSE THIS SPRING
Owing to Rundown Condition Caused by
the War.

Anxiety and worry have bad effect
on the nervous system, and derange the
bodily functions, especially digestion and
excretion. Who escaped them during the
war? They have made nervousness,
paleness, lack of vitality worse this
spring.
The very best medicine to take now
is Peptiron. 1t strengthens and tones
the nerves 1t gives good color to the
lips and cheeks 1t is the great vitalizer,
giving healthy activity to all the vital
organs.
This good medicine, which is a real
iron tonic, makes the blood rich in red
corpuscles, an abundance of which is in
dispensable to perfect health. 1t prompt
ly relieves mental and physical exhaus-
ton, creates an appetite, and promotes
sweet, refreshing sleep. Peptiron is in
the form of chocolate coated tablets, and
is pleasant TO take.--Ady

with the recent fair in this city that
were praiseworthy. so many in fact
that The Tribune avoided attempting tc
treat on them personally. There was toe

pany gave $3.50 in premiums $50 for

Mr.. John p Bowles of the firm was

THE PUBLISHERS PLIGHT.


Since our last issue got into circula
tion we have been "called" for omis
sions and at the same time rendered {
left handed praise for what The Tribun,
did say in its writeup of the fair
One of our omissions, according tc
one critic, was failure to dwell on the
smallness of premiums for live stock as
compared with the largeness of purses
for races.
What could we say what can we say
We can only guess on the expense of
preparing horses for racing and that
OF preparing animals for exhibition,
yet we imagine there is quite a differ
ence and that one necessitates much
larger outlay of cash than the other ;
and we do think there is difference in
drawing power. From the time of ere
alton man has been endowed with a
liking for daring, desperate, exciting
contests, and it is so today 1t is in
the makeup of man.
For fine horses, cattle, sheep. swine
and the like there is great admiration,
and he who owns and brings out the
best is not only enhancing the merits of
the fair, but gets favorable comment
and due praise, say nothing of prestige
to follow These animals are at once
marketable quantity at fancy prices
as a rule, and it seems to us that there
is financial advantage worthy of con
sideration by the owners that should
induce the owners to take them to the
fsir irrespective of the size of the
premiums.
That the exhibit in the different
classes of stock was meagre is regarded
as an oversight in blocking after per
sonal interests, to say the least. There
is no better stock in the world than
right here in Southwestern Wisconsin.
and hasn't the Mineral Point Fair been
prime factor in bringing about such
a grand condition? Together with the
writer there are many whose memory
can go back to the first ir-fifty years
ago. Whata contrast between then and
now in quality We detect it. The
stride forward has been gradual, but
positive; and has it not come through
these annual fairs moreso than any
other medium?
If our views are right, then is it not
reasonable to claim that the raisers Of
the superior animals of today would
exercise appreciation by bringing them
to the Mineral Point Fair in large droves
and herds - the fair association that has
done so much toward the developing of
high grade stock, and by which the
raiser has profited, if anyone? The
goose that lays the golden egg should
be well fed
Another critic showed signs of think
ing The Tribune was derelict in not
dwelling on every animal and article
awarded premium, together with the
name of winner and gushing compli
ments. Wish he would try it just once.
As stated last week, our fair this
year was a splendid success, as have
been its forty predecessors, but to
make it a 'whirwind, world-re-
nowned fair, every man, woman and
child in this section, regardless of voca-
ton, should be active in helping.
Outside knockers have signally failed
and ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Home knockers should be knocked in
the head, if any exist.
