ADJUST THE HARNESS RIGHI Collar Boils Often Caused by Improper Fastening of the Trace Chain on the Hame. Collar bolls are often caused by im proper adjustment of the fastenings o? the trace c?aln on the hame. Every hame shouii have several places for adjustment and the regulation should be made to conform to the slope of the shoulders of the individual horse. Horses with straight shoulders should have traces about midway of the hame, while horses with sloping shoulders should have the adjustment about two fifths of the way up from the bottom. Adjustment of the backhand will in a measure correct any weakness in the formation of the shoulder. The back hand can be made not only to carry a part of the weight, thereby adjusting the dept of the plow, but it can be made to adjust the draft to fit the horse's shoulder. The adjustment can be made either by shortening the back band or moving lt farther back on the horse. The length of the trace should be such as to prevent the horse's legs knocking against the singletree and still have no surplus length. HORSES KNOWN AS 'ROARERS' Uncomplimentary Terms Used to In dicate Unsoundness in Animals --Trouble May Be Cured. (By C. N. KENNEDY, Oregon Experi ment Station.) . Whistlers, wheezers, blowers or roarers. These uncomplimentary terms were not applied in anger, but merely used to indicate the character of the unsoundness In horses, known as roaring. Their use may be avoided by saying that the horse lt afflicted with laryngeal hemiplegin. Horses af fected with this disease appear nor mal while at rest, but when severely exercised the breathing efforts become much greater and the characteristic noises are heard. Ninety per cent of the cases are caused by partial paralysis of the muscles of the left side of the neck. It may be cured in a great majority of cases by an opera tion on the larynx. The operation ls not dangerous If performed by a skill ful veterinarian. Most cases are ready to be put back to work in course of eight weeks. INHERIT FERTILITY IN SWINE Experiments of Kansas Experts Watched With Closest Interest Tamworth Most Fecund Breed. Can litters of 8 to 12 pigs per sow be Insured by any system of bonding? Possibly so, is the reply indicated by the work of Wentworth and Ambel, Kansas Agricultural college. Their experiments in breeding will be traio?i-cvl TTIUU cst? ?,iwwvw% .u.v. wu? Highly Developed Tamworth. Fecundity appears to be inheritable, at least to a slight degree. This fact is borne out by herdbook records, al lowing for their errors. It is ques tionable whether the size of the litter really represents the hereditary fac tors transmitted. The wild hog usually averages four pigs per litter, very fer tile sows of improved breeds often av erage eight pigs, but the Tamworth, with an average of 12 pigs per sow, is the most fecund breed. LANDS SUITABLE FOR SHEEP Animals Do Best Where Grasses Are Produced Naturally or Introduced by Cultivation. Sheep do best on high, dry lend that is, on hard-soiled lund, where the grasses adapted to sheep are produced naturally, or are easily introduced by cultivation.. The short grasses, or such as usually are termed pasture grasses, are essential to the well-he ing cf the sheep. Cattle and horses will thrive and do well on hay grasses, on wet land grasses, tall grasses, but with the sheep it is different; they depend on the short-growth, dry-soil pascure grasses. It is important that they be not confined to wet, soft, bog gy pastures. Ihe sheep Inclines to foot scald, sore feet and Anally foot rot where the hoof is constantly under the influence of moisture in the soil.

This is our conclusion after a recent tour of hundreds of miles through a prosperous country. We found highways In rural sections well kept and comfortable, but there was a far different story in the small cities and in the numerous towns and vil lages through which we passed. The main country roads were smooth boule vards compared with the streets in the nverago town or city. In some places where the homes were hand some and the factories busy the streets were full of holes. It was a striking illustration of the greatest roads failure in America. Small cities and towns have lagged. A roads expert, who recently has trav eled over most of the country, says the fault is general. . In the past live years the rural situation has improved vastly, but the small city and town showing is sad. When you near a set tlement you begin to bump. For this the explanation is that the town or city has too much local in difference. A banker said to us:"We have two factions and each Is so busy fighting the other that nothing is done for the town." It is a great pity. The very communities that ought to be ahead on good thoroughfares are be hind. Perhaps farmers might jog them into right action by taking their patronage to towns and cities that provide good | streets to travel over.-Chicago News, j THE WAY TO PLAN YOUR HOME Each Room Should Have Favorable Exposure-Here's How to Make Things Comfortable. No more important question con fronts the homebuilder than the ex posure of the rooms In his prospec tive home, for no matter how charm ing a house may be nor how con venlent Its interior arrangement, it cannot be entirely successful unless euch room has a favorable exposure. A living room having windows on Its east and west side may capture both the morning and afternoon sun, and If, In addition, It opens out on a porch facing the south, no more satis factory arrangement is possible. A porch facing the south makes a pleasant open-air living room In warm weather and a cheery, glassed-in sun parlor in winter. For the dining room, an easterly ex posure is desirable, thus giving one a cheerful amount of sunshine for what is apt to be in many households the ^&J^&jnS8kMJhfiiA~?iu s e wiu dows facing both north and south. This makes for comfort in summer and ad mits the late afternoon sun, which con siderably lengthens the hours of day light. South and west for the chambers is the correct exposure, with windows facing both ways, if possible. Trees for the Streets. The city forestry department of Cleveland, O., plans the setting out of about 5,900 trees, chiefly in the streets, during the autumn. The use to be made of them has been defluitely de cided. It is a public improvement which is especially welcome after much ex tremely hot weather, says the Cleve land Leader. Shaded streets plead their own cause when the temperature ls not far below blood heat or even a little higher, at the worst hours of the day. And in a long drought, when it ls almost Impossible to keep lawns green and flowers blooming, healthy trees, fairly treated, resist the adverse weather conditions better than any other verdure and do more than their share to save the streets of cities from the dreariness of masonry unbroken by nature's fresh tints and unfailing life. Cleveland is not the "Forest City" in the sense that it used to be, but there are still hundreds of thousands of trees inside the municipal limits and many of them are fine specimens of their kind. All that can reasonably be done to improve these conditions and make the streets still more sim fly and attractive ought to be the cou Ktant aim and care of the city gov ernment and of public-spirited citi zens, also.
