horsemen is that it is better to
house and feed the work horse dur
ing the summer than to attempt to
run the animals on grass with
scant supply of grain and hay.
Grass is not a desirable material to

to which they are unaccuStomed, is

Night Grazing Harmful
Where work horses which are fed
a full allowance OF grain are turn
ed out to Craze each night they
usually are in poor condition for
work next day, as the extra feed
they have consumed merely tends to
increase the tax on their digestive
capacity. However, where the sta
bles are hot and i'll ventilated it is
preferable to expose the horses to
digestive troubles on the pastures
rather than to attemptto carry them
in the barns

ing the summer, in order that ac-
cumulations of dirt may be removed.
A few moments devoted to Scraping
out the hoofs each m orning and
evening will add to t. comfort of
the beasts, as often such foreign
materials as nails or stones lodge
in the wall or sole of the foot or
are collected inthe clefts of the frog
or between the bars and the frog
If the hoofs are excessively dry or
brittle, they should be Softened with
some good oil or hoof ointment, and
if they are ragged ortend to split,
they should be rasped on the edges
and trimmed until smooth.
1t is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warns up in the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip

they do not become chilled after

clipped as soon as heavy spring work

SWISS WATCHES
GET HARD TESTS

To show the accuracy with which
the Swiss construct their watches,
just think of this.
A chronometer competition is held
yearly, and there were one hundred
and six entered in 1916. and one hum
dred and thirty-two entered in 1917,
and over one hundred and sixteen en-
tered in 1918
The chronometers and watches are
graded on a scale of one thousand.
The ideal watch would be granted
three hundred for daily precision;
three hundred for it's ability to sup
port changes of position three hun
dred for it's ability to support changes
in temperature, and one hundred for
its ability to resume its normal pre-
cision after the changes of position
and temneratura.
The different dcviations of time are
quoted in hundredths of a second.
The winning chronometer showed a
deviation of only six one hundredths
of a second daily. This is the first
break of the record of seven one
hundredths made in 1891.
The maximum allowance for daily
deviation in pocket watches is one
half a second for a full days run
two seconds of deviation after the
position has been changed, fifteen
one-hundredths of a second per de-
gree after having been under a diff
feren temperature, and two-and-one-
half seconds of deviation after hav-
ing resumed normal temperature and
position.
