TG get these elements of efficiency
in the draft horse the breeder must
not trust to chance in his breeding
operations. If he has the right type of
mare he must see to it that the stall
lion used will get the right type of
offspring. 1t will pay to go to consid-
cradle trouble to secure the right
type stallion as the heavier weight,
consistent with good quality, the bet
ter.
The same reasoning holds true in
the production of other types. The
type next to the heavy drafter in
demand today which commands good
prices is the sound, well built wagon
horse. This kind should weigh from
LOO to 1900 pounds. For heavy de-
livery work, such as delivering milk,
horse must have weight enough to
haul from 1900 to 1880 pounds and
get away with it at a reasonably
swift gait The lighter delivery type
does not require so much weight but
must be well built, sound and ac-
tive.

Housework Source

"Housework is a good source of
exercise for staying young" says
Mrs. Ida Harrington, home manage
ment specialist Of the extension de-
partment Of the State Agricultural
College.
Housework can be made easiei
and pleasanter If 1t Is done in the
right way-for there is a right and
wrong way of doing these every day
tasks that we have bone for many
years.
A great deal Of time and energy
may be saved by doing them in the
right way. Often that backache
could be avoided, that concert or
movie might be attended If the right
way were used.

the methods by which the daily task
may be lightened. She will speak on

- C1uhuGFulil
Mrs. r. A. z. writes:
am coming to you again as you
have always helped me go much by
your advice.
We have a new little daughter
three weeks old. She Ia good and
sleeps all night and Jay until about
p. m. Then she wakes and usually
stays awake until 3 or 10 o'clock and
is generally fussy.
She throws up some after nearly
every feeding, which comes once
every four hours and her movements
are green with yellow curds Ia them,
and smell sour. / give her about
tablespoon Of boiled water before
her o'clock feeding and she gener-
ally has a movement then. / have
plenty Of milk.
Would you suggest shortening the
time between feedings? Or would It
be better to shorten the time at the
breasts-she nurses for ten minutes
at both breasts.
Her navel has been bleeding some
since I came from the hospital. What
shall I do about that? How long
should she wear her band?
Answer
Please have the doctor look st the
condition Of the babys navel with
out delay. This should not bleed
after so long time and should be
attended to. She should wear the
tight binders until the navel is thor
oughly healed, usually six weeks
then replace them with the part

much she gained. Without that tn

To Know Joy Of

today or tomorrow, but the rood our
mothers ate before we were born
that determines whether or not we

triton specialist OF the State Agri"
cultural College, in an address on
the Home Bureau OF New Jersey
during the recent tar1ners' week at
Trenton.
mot only must we give our chill
dren the right start, but we must
follow 1t up by insisting on right
habits of living. We must not allow
their personal idioyncrasies OF eat
ing to interfere with what Is best for
their bodies.
''It is not indiscretions of today or
yesterday that count. 1t is the hab-
its of long periods that insure
healthy body. We must think OF our
children, not as they are, but as
they ought to be-glossy hair, bright
ewes. good color, sound teeth,
Straight shoulders, firm arms and

scourges made by smallpox and

DIR. Powdermaker emphasized
food and rest as the two great fac
tors in creating the vigor which
comes with perfect health. Com.
plete relaxation for a given time
every day is absolutely essential, and
no amount of care in the diet can
make up for 1t.

reason for her wakefulness and that
strikes me as being the most Logical

cause the splitting UP after each
nursing would look more as II she
had too much. Altogether about the
best you can do is to experiment
little at this nursing period and see
what helps. Try cutting down the
periods at each breast to five min
utes each. Try a tablespoon Of wates
before the nursing. Try the compile
mentary feeding. And best advice oj
all don't worry too much about 1t as
hardly any baby is regulated at three
weeks. Keep to the four-hour sched-
