Don’t feed the horses with new cat th are loosening and may cause colic. If you must use them mix with old oats and accustom the horses to them gradually. Rye heads should be mixed with the horse’s food if he is troubled with worms. Don’t repeat this too often or the rye beards themselves will be- come a source of irritation. It is more of a test than a remedy. See that the horse doesn’t void whole grain. Should he do so his teeth need looking after. Have them filed. Many a horse fails to winter well on this account. While he can get grass to help out his other fodod he does very well, but in fall and win- ter, when fed solely on dry food, he ofter. fails to get sufficient nourish- ment. Sponge down the horses’ legs after the day’s work; it relieves the strained tendons. Keep fly nets on the horses while at work; insects are often more trouble- some and persistent upon the ap- proach of cool weather than in the heat of summer. A little old whole corn may be fed with the oat ration; in addition to its feeding value it causes the horse to masticate his food better. too freely Spread of Leprosy. Leprosy is increasing in both North and South America. Colombia, where there were only 400 lepers forty years ago, is said to have 46,000 now and many find their way into the United States. Such a medical authority as Dr. Ashmead, who was formerly chief medical adviser to the government of Japan, says the increase is alarming. When leprosy is brought into a new country it takes fifty years for the seeds to take root and it becomes epi- demic after some 200 years. It has been shown that mosquitos are active in transferring leprosy bacilli. = we Clamors for Our Hosiery Section a Place in Print of. them. at their actual value. that, when the cost is the here.
