Tomhave, Minnesota & University Farm. I bbb cbdd bbb Now that farm work is in full prog- ress and all the horses on the farm are in harness, doing their share of farm work, we are apt to overlook some of the things that are essential in keeping them in the best of condi: tion. At this. time of the year the horses are apt to be soft and unac- customed to continuous hard . work; so that they are liable to various ail- ments. Soreness of the shoulders is one of the most eommon troubles, and is largely due to carelessness on the part of the driver. Sore shoulders started in the spring usually give more or less trouble the whole year. They are not only tmoublesome, but painful and irriéeble to the animal, which is not able to perform the proper amount of work. Such horses are a financial loss on the farm, be- cause they require as much feed as one that does a full day’s work with ease, and also require the full amount of one man’s time when driven. It is important that the shoulders of the horse be cared for, from the time spring work is begun until it closes in the fall. One of the first essentials is to have a collar that fits properly to the shoulder. There should be no surplus room at the top or at the lower portion, of the collar. It should fit snugly to the sides, and allow just room enough at the breast for the hand to pass through. A loose or large collar on the horse will have the same effect on the horse as a large pair of shoes on a man. Every horse on the farm should have it’s own col- lar, as it is impossible to expect a horse to be able to do good work while wearing a collar that has been mould- ed to the shape of the shoulder of an- other horse. When a new collar is purchased, it is a good plan to put it into cold wa- ter the day before it is put on, and leave it there to soak over night. The collar will then be soft. and be mould- ed to the shape of the shoulder of the horse that is to wear it. sult in a much better fit than when the collar is put on without such treat- ment. All horses used for farm work should be checked up when driven, just enough so that they can not hang their heads. The reason for this is, that when the horses get a little tired they are apt to droop their heads, and thus throw the shoulder too much for- ward and into an abnormal position. The lower portion of the shoulder will then bear the bulk of the draft, and bunches are formed. The question of collar-pads is one that should be left to the opinion of the individual. In many cases a light pad can be used to good advantage, and is desirable. Thick pads are, as a rule, too hot and clumsy. Collars and sweat-pads must always be lept clean. To let dirt accumulate on the collar, and leave it there to dry and form' crusts, will very soon result in sores on the shoulders. The collar or pad should be carefully cleaned and looked after each day after the team is put in the barn, or before the harness is put on in the morning. The shoulders can be kept in good condition by brushing and currying the horses after the team is put in the barn in the evening. Besides curry- ing, it is well to wash the shoulders with cold water. The water will harden the muscles over the shoulders and make them tougher. A little time spent in this way each day will be used to good advantage. * 3 * Care of Horses % + * s on the Farm. 7} <, * & o+ L] * + LEEE R R EEE R R LR L] L It isn’t at all necessary that < a consolidated school district < should comprise the area of an < entire township, thus making < the distance too great over °i which some of the children < must be transported.

R. Barns, Minnesota Uni- I I versity Farm. o+ LR R R R R R R The once popular belief in the entire harmlessness of the house-fly is fast giving place to a wholesome feeling of repulsion and dread. The investi- gations which have been made as to its origin and habits have shown the former to be disgusting and the lat- ter dangerous. The fly is the creature and the carrier of filth in its most ob- noxious form. And in the filth with which it delights to load its feet—feet which once invited a merely curious study with a view to discovering the secret of the fly's ability to walk “up- side down”"—a more purposeful study has found millions of disease-germs. It s beyond question that to the in- difference with which we have, until recently, looked upon the presence of flies in our homes, and even upon our food, are due a very large proportion of the attacks of typhoid and other diseases which have in the past laid such costly tribute upon our homes. Fortunately most of us have at last been awakened to the essential un- safety of the fly. With his capacity for irritation we have long been fa- miliar; but this alone has not been sufficient to stir us to the adoption of efficient measures for his exclusion {from our homes. 'Now, however, sin we know he can poison and kill, as well as tickle us, we are determined to be rid of him. How? First of all we must attack him in his breeding-place, in neglect- ed manure-heaps and other masses of filth. The Illinois Experiment Station suggests, as a satisfactory way of eliminating flies about the barn, the spreading of the barnyard manure in a thin layer, so that it' may be fully exposed to the rays of the sun and to the drying effects of the atmpsphere; the manure, after it is dried, to be stored in a tight receptacle, distant from house and barn. The Minneso- ta Experiment Station would make use of the barnyard manure while it is fresh and in condition to impart the most fertilizing ingredients to the soil; this use disposing of the embryo fifes at the same. time. Open privy vaults and boxes should no JIonger be tolerated, 'nor should filth of any kind be allowed in or near the house. No filth, no flies. Cleanli- ness is the most perfect of anti-fly agencies. Next comes.ihe screening of doors and windows. This is com- paratively inexpensive; and screens should be looked upon as being as much of a necessity in summer as glazed sash in winter. A single visit - from a doctor, made necessary by poi- son communicated by a fly, may cost as much as the wire gauze for screen- ing a whole house. bl T R R R Those with experience in shingling claim that it is ad- visable not to drive the head of the nail into the shingle. By leaving the head out it gives the shingles a chance to swell and shrink without splitting and they will stay on longer. oo ofe oo ol oo ofe ofo ofe b oo ool ofe oo oo ofe b b b R R R R X SMALL HORSE OF LITTLE USE Farmers Should Have Large Mares for Farm Work. The “business farmer” has learned to pay as much attention to the work- ing capacity of the horses he keeps as | Ohi the mill-owner pays %o the capacity of the machines he uses. The former can as little afford to keep a poor horse as can the latter a poor, out-of- date machine, As says a Louisiana contemporary: “The farmer that runs a two-row riding cultivator hitched to two 1,300 or 1,400-pound mares, not only wears himself out less, but he does three or four times as much work as the farm- er who operates a onerow walking cultivator, and he does his work at less cost. The small horse or pony on the farm is an anomaly; it has ng place on the modern farm; it does noi mares that will do the farm work and bring in ‘a colt every year. Ladies’ Portraits. In a moment of self revelation Hopp- ner once stated that -in painting ladies’ portraits he used to make as beautiful a face as he could, then give It a likeness to the sitter, ‘afterward working down from this beautiful state until the observer should cry out, “Oh. T see a likeness coming!” Then Hoppner would stop and never venture to make it more like.—London Telegraph. Nearly a Joke. The humorist was in a brown study. “T’ll get it yet.” he muttered. . “What’s the matter, dear?” his wife inquired. “You seem to be puzzled about something.” - “Yes,” the jokesmith replied “I'm trylng to make a ‘stitch in time’ joke about the girl who is darning the clocks in her stockings.” Usoless Sacrifice. Dunean had eaten, with symptoms of pleasure, his first shrimp. but the mushroom that followed it proved less to his liking, “Mother.” he said, pushing the part- ly eaten agaric to the far edge of his plate, *1 wish they hadn't killed that one.”—Youth's Companion.
