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.
NEGLECTED COLDS GROW WORSE
A cough that racks and irritates
the throat may lead to a serious
chronic cough, if neglected. The
healing pine balsams in Dr. Bell's
Pine Tar Honey-Nature's own
remedy-will soothe and relieve the
irritation, breathing will be easier,
and the antiseptic properties will
kill the germ which retarded heal
ing. Have it handy for croup, sore
throat and chronic bronchial affec
tions. Cet a bottle to-day. Pleas

TOWNS COULD SET EXAMPLES
Streets In Many Small Cities Worse
Than Country Roads-Farmers
Have Better Public Spirit
It Is high time that the rural sec
tions of America called to the towns
to mend their ways and their streets,
says a writer in the Country Gentle
man. 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.
