SOUNDNESS OF HORSE
One of the First Considerations
of the Buyer.
Temporary Unfitness Should Be Dis
tinguished From Permanent Un
soundness Somo of Common
Faults and Blemishes.
(By II. II. REESE.)
Selection of n horse must be based
primarily on a thorough, systematic
examination; the examination should
be based on n clear knowledge of de
sirable nnd undesirable qualities. Not
only the presence of unsoundness but
also the condition or seriousness of
the unsoundness should be noted.
Temporary unfitness should be distin
guished from permanent unsoundness.
Shoulders Lacking In Depth and In
Good Seat for a Collar.
A hurried examination Is likely to i
prove a disappointment. Observe
blemishes, vice, faulty conformation,
unsoundness and general characteris
tics. Common blemishes nre scars
from old wounds, poll evil, scratches,
shoe bolls and small ruptures. Com
mon vices are halter pulling, cribbing,
kicking, stall walking, weaving, and
biting. Common faults of conforma
tion are straight shoulders, crooked,
weak or Improperly set legs, ewe
neck, long, weak back and drooping
croup.
Common unsoundness are splints,
thoroughpln, spavin, curb, extreme
fistula, ringbone, side bones, extreme
atrophy of muscles, contracted ten
dons nnd broken wind. General char
acteristics Include fleshing, tempera
ment, quality, color, nnd age. In final
selection, look for tho good qualities
and weigh them against the defects.
Enlargements or scars (duo to de
formity, unusunl mishap, or uncom
mon dlseuse) not conforming to nny
of those discussed should cause a
horse to bo rejected unless the nature
of the cause and the detriment to tho
value and usefulness of the animal is
self-evident. Experience gained by
examining largo numbers of horses
will nld in quickening thp eye nnd
Judgment, thereby making it possible
to perceive readily any unusunl condi
tion, but it should be remembered that
a hurried examination is liable to
prove a disappointment, consequently
plenty of time should bo taken In
making the examination, because time
is much cheaper than money tied up
in an unsatisfactory horse. If pos
sible, get a history of the animal, and
while you nre nbout It, get a history
of the person having It for sale. So
many defects may be covered up by
such unfair methods as drugging that
it is a good plan to make purchases
only from those with good reputa
tions. Horses offered at auction sales
should be thoroughly examined pre
vious to their being brought Into the
ring, or else they should be tried out
in compliance with the rules of tho
sale before time for settlement.
It is well not to form the habit of
seeing only tho defects, for horses, like
people, are seldom perfect, conse
quently in Judging them weigh the
good qualities against the bad. A
horse should bo valued by the amount
of service he will perform rather than
by his minor shortcomings.
CAUSE OF SCOURS IN CALVES
Avoid Irregular Feeding and Dirty
Milk or Palls Best to Separate
Affected Animal.
Scours In calves are caused by Ir
regular feeding, overfeeding, sudden
change of feed, fermented feeds, feed
ing dirty or sour milk or milk of dis
eased cows, the use of dirty milk palls
or feed boxes, nnd damp, dirty stables.
As soon as scours nre discovered It Is
best to separate tho nffected calf from
the others nnd carefully disinfect the
pen.
FEED CALF SEPARATED MILK
This May Be Done Where Animals Are
Especially Strong at Birth Make
Change Gradually.
Calves especially strong nt birth mny
be put on separated milk entirely at
two weeks of age, but this should not
be nttempted with weak ones. Until
the calf is in vigorous nnd thrifty con
dition no attempt should bo made to
change to scpnrnted milk. This chrngo
should always' be made gradually.
LATE POTATO BLIGHT SPRAY
Work Should Begin as Soon as Plant
Arc Six Inches High and Continue ,
at Intervals.
The weather conditions which favor
the spread of lute potato blight are a
humid, still atmosphere with a tern-
pernturo around 7!J degrees P. Above
78 P. and below CO P. there; is prao- !
tlcally no germination of the blight '
spores. Since spraying for late blight
is a preventive rainer man a cuniuvu
measure, spraying should begin as soon
as the plants arc six Inches high and
should continue nt Intervals of one or
two weeks, depending upon weather
conditions until near the time of ma
turity. Tho effectiveness of spraying as a
preventive depends upon the thorough
ness with which it Is done. It is essen
tial that tho whole plant bo kept con
stantly covered with the mixture If
the blight spores are to be prevented
from finding a plnce of entrance Into
its surface.
The wheels of the sprayer do not
seem to Injure tho vines sufllclently to
be a source of apprehension, even
when they are large and cover the
ground, as Is often the case late In the
season.
ESTIMATE OF DAY'S PLOWING
Time Required to Plow an Acre De.
pends on Size of Plow and Num
ber of Horses Used.
Farmers frequently want to know
how much land can be plowed In a day
and how much work it requires to
break an acre. Records nt the Missouri
College of Agriculture on 2,V1'1 ucres of
land show that It required 0.4 hours of
man labor and 0.3 hours of horse labor
for each acre. Of courso, the time re
quired to plow an acre will depend on
the size of the plow and the number
of horses used. A four-horse gang
plow with two 12-inch bottoms will av
erage about 4.12 acres n day of 0.0
hours when It Is runnlug six Inches
deep. Tho same plow running eight
Inches deep will break a quarter of an
acre less. A three-horse sulky with a
14 or 10-lnch bottom will average nbout
2.5 acres at a six-Inch depth, nnd
nbout .2 acre less for the eight
Inch depth. A two-horse 14-inch walk
ing plow will break about 1.75 acres a
day at a six-Inch depth nnd about .'!
acre less at the elghtluch depth.
GOOD RACK FOR IMPLEMENTS

To have the tools within reach
makes for economy of time in putting

have n way of scattering and hiding

keeps the tools together. Such a rnck
Garden Tool Rack.

1er's saw horse. Holes bored through

PLAN TO FERTILIZE TUBERS
UGe of Barnyard Manure and Acid
Phosphate Recommended as Ideal
by Ohio Station.
Selection of n good clover sod where
potatoes have not grown for nt least
five years, and the use of barnyard
manure with aeld phosphate are given
by the Ohio experiment station as
Ideal conditions for fertilizing pota
toes. After 23 years Investigations
with this crop the experiment station
advises farmers to plow under 1- to
10 tons of manure per acre If plenty
is available, nnd then to apply about
300 pounds of acid phosphate per acre
as a surface dressing. If munure is
scarce four or five tons per acre mny
be used, and then 400 pounds of acid
phosphate along with 100 pounds of nl
trate of soda will yield nbout tho
same results. These experiments hnvo
shown thut fertilizer should be spread
over all the land and not confined to
the potnto rows, for in tills way tho
potato roots spread out more widely
nnd succeeding crops make better use
of whnt the potatoes leave.
LOOK OUT FOR SQUASH BUGS
Insects Attack Melon, Cucumber and
Squash Vines When Plants Are
Small Use Netting.
Look out for the yellow striped
squashbugs that uttack melon, cucum
ber nnd squnsh vines when the plants
arc small. The best preventive is to
put a mosquito-netting tent over each
hill, using two little sticks us supports,
and covering the edges with soil to
hold the netting In plnce. Erect theso
tents as soon as the plants ooino
through the ground, or sooner, and
leave them In place until tho vIju'k be
gin to push for room. Then 6tt fie
, netting for future use.

"Do not drag a dry road.
"Drag whenever posslblo at all sea

"Tho width of tho trnvelcd way to

"Always drag a little earth townrds

"If tho drag cuts too much, shortcu
