Treatment For Youngsters Born With Weak Pasterns. Some foals come into this world so wabbly and misshaped about the legs that it would seem almost impossible Lor them ever to straighten up. Most of them do, however, manage to come right, though it takes some of them far longer than others to do so, writes aohn Mason in the National Stockman. As a general rule, there is no cause for alarm, even if a foal is so crooked in his legs as to promise deformity, but when the pastern joints are so long and weak that the youngster breaks back onto the ground with the bottom of the ankle joint, it is well to give pule support. This may be done by fitting a piece of moderately stiff leather around the leg and lacing it up so as to give the required support to the joint too weak to bear the ktrain. In such case line the boot with wash or chamois leather and observe carefully that it does not gall or Oracle the leg anywhere. It is quite a trick to fit one of these boots to the leg properly, and hence when a foal fails to straighten up off the ground it is best to seek the aid of the veterinarian. Sometimes all that is required is to feed the foal a little warm new cow's milk two et THE WINGHAM 'TIMES November 26th, 1914 A massive shoulder like the one on this Belgian stallion is a pleas- ant thing to look at. This big fel. low was good enough to take first Place at four state fairs and carries his ton and a quarter gracefully. In his head and the blending of the neck with his shoulder are shown the quality that is needed to build the right kind of horses. Men who are raising stock like this have nothing to fear from the advent of the tractor or the motor truck. three times a day so as to increase its strength more quickly. That is usually preferable to boots or any oth- er similar contrivance, but there are times and cases where artificial aid is required. A. little phosphate of calcium added to the milk or drinking water is also beneficial to foals, as it is to children. Sound, plump oats bruised and the shucks sieved out are also great helps as soon as foals are able to eat, and lime water never comes amiss. When feeding cows' milk to weak foals never forget to add lime water at the rate of three or four des- sertspoonfuls to the pint. It helps to keep the stomach right. After foals born 'with crooked legs have straightened up and. their hoofs have hardened they should be watehed most carefully and any tendency of .the feet to grow uneven prevented. A touch or two with tho rasp on the feet of a foal will often keep him from go- ing unsound and make a valuable horse of one that, unattended aright, might readily have degenerated into a valueless nuisance around the farm. Corn and Alfalfa. The sheet anchor of real economic feeding for milk or meat is the corn plant in the form of the succulent en- silage and the cap cured alfalfa hay. Let the farmer get settled down square on that idea; let hint put up his silos; perfect himself in the knowledge of growing alfalfa; study hoW to produce it good dairy eow or a beef steer that shall take that feed and return him the best results possible, and he has struck the final word in the production of the most profitable meat or milk. But it is folly to separate these two feeds and undertake to make one do the work of the other, just as it would to separate the blade from the handle in a jack- knife and then ask which is the most useful a the two in comparison...— Hoard's Dairyman.

IVIcInn- ory has been jocluraly described as "the thing we forget with." Out of sight is apt to be out of mind. An advertiser who relies op the memory of the public leans on a brok- en reed. The absence of its advertis- ing from the newspapers has been the -beginning of the end for many a firm. "The present suitor has ever the ad- vantage over the absent lover." A business that has achieved its magni- tude or strength as the result of faithful ad- vertising plays itself false if it suspends or . ceases its advertising, on the grounds of econo- my. It is poor business vision which fails to see the principal feeder of business, and fatal judgement which cuts it off or interrupts Its - flow. Economies may be warranted, but they had better be effected in any other department than in the sales department—the-department of revenue. Any course which shoves your . customer back from you or hides you from your custoiner is ruinous. The man with the money needs to be constantly sought. Adver tising is the. great discoverer of new customers, the:great retainer of old ones. If You forget the Public, the Public will forget You. Or. Chase is No Stranger In This Home—Receipt Book and Medicines Kept at Bond All the Time. There is no betor safeguard against ,Iisease and suffering than a good cathartic medicine. In the great ma- jovity of homes Dr. Chase's Kidney- F,Iver Pills are ct..iistantly kept at because t7,o,y quickly awaken the action of liver, kidneys and bowels, and cure the most common ills of life. Mrs. Thos. Smith„Tatnestown, Ont., writes:—"Dr. C1rt:4! is no stranger in our home, for we have. two of his Iteceipt Books in the house. My fAther and my husband's father each 'yid one, and I have been familiar vith it ever since I can remember.

A good handler of live stock is not alone, the man who makes them fat in the shortest time, He is merely one good handler. Another is the live stock man who in nowise mistreats his ani - m He refrains from clipping them or prodding them with a sharp stick or a steel prod. He uses care in loading them when shipping them to the mar- ket; sprinkles sand upon the floor of the stock car and in slippery, cold weather he protects the chutes and roadways hi a manner to prevent slip- ping and injury to his stook. The good handler of live stock is the one who lands them at market, minus injuries, broken legs, bruises, etc., and he is the seller who gets the full value for his stock by reason. of having them cared for in a manner that prevents in- juries to their carcasses, A bruised animal in a packing house shrinks heavily in value from a sound one, and it is the owner of the bruised animal who is generally the loser. It costs nothing to treat live stock humanely and humane handling pays a big dividend. The meat packing concerns of this country have in recent years been car- rying on a "Safety First" campaign in urging live stock producers and hand- lers to refrain from clubbing or other- wise injuring animals they are about to market. They have urged as well that in slippery weather the animals be pre- vented from receiving severe injuries. ., It takes a little time and just a little work to land live stock at market in good condition minus bruises, etc., but it's worth it every time, and no one knows this better than the men whose animals are found, upon being slaught- ered, to have been mistreated. They are the fellows who, upon shipping again, usually find that a record has been kept by the slitighterers of their - bruised %misses and the subsequent shipment is often penalized in value.

One of the' most remarkable institu- tions in the City of Mexico is the Mon- te de Piedad, or national pawnshop. The monte is one of the oldest build- ings in the capital, having been built for the private residence of Cortes in 1520, and it has been fortunate enough to escape the hands of restorers. It was acqnired in 1744 by Count de Reg - la Terreros, who laid out 3300,000 in organizing the Monte de Pietlad, with the idea of saving the needy from the usury of the ordinary pawnbroker. Its success is attested by its long history, and Mexicans today can get one-third value on their goods at a rate of inter- est seldom exceeding 3 per cent per annum. LE any one fails to keep up his paymegsts the deposited goods are sold, and auy balance over the sum advanced is banded to the depositor. J. C.

Those -who object to the widespread newspaper may see the apotheosis of their bete noire in the museum at Aix- la-Chapelle, the only existing ,copy of the Illuminated Quatruple Constella- tion, published in New York in 1859. Happily this monstrosity did not sur- vive the first Issue, for its pages meas- ure eight and o'neshalf feet by six feet, and each contains thirteen columns forty-eight inches long. By way of comparison it may be mentioned that the smallest newspaper In the world is the Mexican Ell Tele- grama, with pages four inches square. —London Chronicle. Stoats Hunt In Packs. In some years stoats appear to be more numerous than in others, and they are seen not in ones and twos, but in dozens, hunting together in small packs. Stoats will hunt together from scent and in full cry like a pack 02 hounds, one always keeping the line and f011owed closely by the others. This sight has been recorded by differ-, ent observers who have also seen wea- sels hunting in the same way. An Apology. -This is no place for such a petty squabble," said the police court Judge.

If the truth was only known you would find that over one half of the ills of life are caused by allowing the bowels to get into a ,eonstipated condition. When the bowels become constipated the stomach gets out of order, the liver does not work properly, and than follows the violent sick headaches, the sourness of the stomach, belching of wind, heart- burn, water brash, biliousness, and a general feeling that you do not care to do anything.
