Good Horseman Has His
Animals Ready for Call
to Work at All Times.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
man who has the ability to keep
horses in such condition that they are
ready for any call is good horseman,
says the United States Department OF
Agriculture. There is comparatively
little scientific information on which
TO base conclusions relative to the fun
1amentals that go to make up good
aorsemanship, but there is wealth
Of experience gained through years of
handling horses that might be sum-
married.. The methods which good
aorsemen have found to be the most
satisfactory are therefore discussed In
new bulletin on the care and man
agement of farm work horses, just is
sued by the United States Department
Of Agriculture, as Farmers Bulletin
l419.
Fundamental Factor.
The fundamental factor, say the au-
thors, is the name. In no phase of
animal husbandry is this imam" ele-
nent more vital than in the care OF
horses. When man has the ability
20 keep horses in good condition and
ready for the call to work at all times,
he is said TO have a knack with
horses. This is often the result large
iy of interest and fondness for horses,
and is acquired in the natural course
Of handling them. But there are GER
.ain factors involved In the care and
management of horses which even the
nan with "knack" for horses should
nave at his command. Besides having
the ability to keep the horses in a
thrifty condition, the man should have
the advantages of convenient stabling
facilities, paddocks adjoining the
stables, and suitable sheds for winter
ng in order to provide for the health
and comfort of the animals. Feeding
must be adjusted to seasonal require
nents and thorough grooming prac-
ticed. The harness must be well fitted
and cleaned regularly to insure salts
faction and durability, and the shout
1ers, feet, and teeth of the animals
must be well cared for.
Suggestions for the most satisfac-
tory results in feeding under work
conditions, sailing. and watering, win
tering idle horses, preparation for
spring work, grooming and clipping,
harness fitting, preventing sore shout
1ers. caring for the teeth, are offered
n the bulletin as a guide in the best
management of farm work horses.
Hints for Horsemen.
The bulletin concludes with par
agraph of "Hints for Horsemen" In
which some of the following are sug-
gested: Make bitches carefully, in
order that the pull will be at the CEN
Ter of draft, and that each horse will
pull his share of the load. The strong
est horse should usually have as much

Thin-Shelled Eggs

Recent research work In Kentucky
indicates that the absence of calcium
carbonate results In the production OF
fewer eggs and those produced be
come thinner shelled, although the
lack of carbonate is not the primary
cause of soft-shelled eggs. Rock phos-
phate is valuable as bone builder
but not as an egg shell producer
Limestone and oyster shell both aid
in shell production, but do not replace
grit as a grinder.
