CHRONIC INDIGESTION
A Much Too Common Trouble
With Farm Horses.
Usually Due to J?aitlty Condition of
the Teeth — Symptoms Described
Prescriptions and General Ad.
' vice as to Treatment—Cultivation
of the Hoed Crops.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
.• HRONIC indigestion, or indi-
gestion without engorgement,
is caused by improper food;
imperfectly masticated food
due to the process of dentition or
irregularities of the teeth, voracious
feeding, irregularity in feeding, de-
bility, or partial Inactivity of the
digestive glands.
Syxnptoms.—A capricious appetite,
often a tendency to eat filth, usually
increased thirst, the animal become
hide -bound and has a dry scurfy
skin, irregularity of the bowels, gen-
eral unthriftiness, dullness and more
or less well ` marked inability, to
perform work. When caused by im-
perfectly masticated food; the cause
can'.usually be told by the appear-
ance of the feces. Colicky pains are
sometimes present an hour or so after
feeding. The animal has a general
unthrifty appearance and lacks vigor.
Treatment,: As a large percentage
of cases is due to ,inability of masti—
cate
date properly, the mouthshould al-'
ways be carefully examined. If the
teeth require attention and the owner
las neither the necessary instruments
nor the skill to correct the fault he
should take the ,horse to a veterinar-
ian. In horse's about three years old
the trouble is very often due to un-
shed molar crowns, Nos; 1 and 2 in
each row-. In a horse about four years
old No. 3 in each row. These crowns
can be easily removed by the use of
a pair of - small tooth forceps or a
'pair of pincers. In older horses the
trouble is very often due to sharp
points or projections of tooth sub-
stance on the outer edge of the upper
molars or the inner edge of the lower
ones; to, a long tooth that requires
shearing, or other month trouble that
can be corrected only by an expert
with the necessary instruments. When
the fault is not in the mouth, and the
patient be not too weak, a purgative
of 6 to 8 drams aloes and. 2 drams
ginger should be. given.
In all cases where a purtatton is
to be given, and prompt action is not
necessary, It is wise to prepare the
patient by feeding bran only for 18
to / 4 hours. In all cases after the
administration of a ` purgative; the
animal should be given rest, and bran
only to eat until purgation com-
mences, which Is usually 18 to 24
hours, and sometimes longer. When
it fails to act in about 48 hours, a
second dose, a Iittle smaller than the
first should be given.
After the bowels have regaihed
their normal condition, mix equal
quantities of powdered sulphate f of
iron, gentian, ginger, nux vomica aid
bi-carbonate of soda, and give :a
tablespoonful three tunes daily. Give
food of good quality in small quan-
tities, and as digestion improves
gradually increase the quantity, un-
til the desired amount can be fed. -

Cultivation of the Hoed Crops.
The Hoed Crops in Ontario are
made up principally of corn, beans,
potatoes, turnips, mangels, and car-
rots. These crops occupy fully one
million acres annually. During the
past fifteen years, the area used for
corn has increased, that used for
roots has decreased, and that' for po-
tatoes has remained practically the
same with exception of some varia-
tions in individual years.
All the root crops here referred to
do well after sod, . especially after
clover. It is generally well to have
the land ploughed in the early aut-
umn. If manure is available, the land
could be worked before winter, ma-
nured and placed In narrow ridges
about thirty inches apart. This en-
ables the -frost to work on the sub-
soil between the ridges, and preserves
the fertility in the ridges themselves.
Land prepared In this way works
splendidly in the spring when brought
into cultivation. In the case of po-
tatoes, it is much better to manure
in the autumn than in the spring,
and its is frequently recommended
to manure even for the crop previous.
in order to prevent the development
of a large amount of scab on the
tubers. Farmyard mai:lure for the
Hoed Crops can often be supplement-
ed to. advantage by a limited use of
commercial fertilizers. The ferti-
lizers have given particularly good
results in connection with co-opera-
tive experiments throughout Ontario
with potatoes, mangels, and turnips.
The application of 160 pounds of, ni-
trate of soda per acre increased the
ruangel crop about six tons per acro
per annum in average of five years'
test. A potato fertilizer made up in
the proportion by weight of seven
parts of nitrate `of soda, sixteen parts
of superphosphate, and nine parts of
Muriate of potash, has given econo-
mical results where it is used at the
rate of 320, 640,'or 960 pounds per
acre. ---Dr. C. A. Zavitz, O. A. College,
Guelph.
Flies torment cattle badly. The use
of a good fly repellant means extra
trouble, but it also means extra gains
or extra milk.
Horses appreciate a drink during
a long half day on the binder. Horses
lose in condition rapidly when wor-
ried with bees or flies.
Young calves will make best gains

Unless carefully fed, freshly

(Continued from last week.)
Old Noel swept his gaunt arm in
wide, refusing gesture when` she prof-
fered the bowl heaped with loaves.
"No! That his bread. Would be bit-
ter. No want it. To much bitter
here!" He pressed hispalm against
his forehead. Then he' started for the.
door. "Go think!" he muttered!
"Much to think. Go think!"
He trudged slowly down across the
broad field, his headbowed in medita-
tion; in the camp in the woods he
sat and continued hie* ponderings.
While he gazed through the open door
Lola` was suddenly framed, there; She
had come in haste; she was panting.
Resolve, . passioin, desperation were
animating her. "Grandpere! Take
me! I am • going! You must take
me!"
His slow eyes left her face and he
saw that she was garbed for a jour-
ney; a tassled bag of buckskin was
secured on her hip by thongs which
crossed her shoulders.
"I have run away! He went back
to the field. Mere did not see! We
must hurry before they know."
"No! Have been called thief. Too
much been called thief! No!"
"But there is nobody to help me
except you, grandpere! I must go
away."
He wagged his head, refusing.
She rushedclose to sim, arms wide,
palms outspread, her whole attitude
making entreaty. To her mien she
added the eager pleading of her voice,
tears on her cheeks.
But he did not rise; he did not
move muscle of his face or his body;
again he stared through' the open
door upon vacancy.
Then fear whetted edge of anger
on her grief and anxiety. "They will
be corning. They will suspect. I
I say we must hurry."' She beat up-
on his shoulder with the palms of
her" hands.
"Have . done enough! No dare to
do more!" 4 •
"If you don't do more, then what
you .have already done is wicked,"
she 'blazed. "You made me wife to
him. You said it Made me his wife.
If that is so, where ismy husband,
grandpere?"
He puckered his wrinkled lids
tightly over his eyes, set his teeth,
and a twist of pain convulse& his
features as if he had felt °a dagger -
thrust and were trying to hide his
agony. d
"You said that the oath wo,uuld bind
us two. I believed. So you 'Oust take
me to my husband. • You must explain
now to his grandpere so that my
husband will no longer be afraid to
come to me. That is all the trouble.
He' is afraid. But I am his wife. He
will take me and love me and be
with me when he is not afraid." She
talked rapidly and eagerly; trying
hard to fortify her faith , and give
explanation of Donald's acts to her-
self. "It is your duty, granepere!
Else what am I, if I don't 'have my
husband?"
"I si( here—think much," he said
after a time. "Only poor Indian. My
word good—always good. Some`men
lie—not me: Only when I lie to help
you."
She raised his hand and kissed it,
thanking him without words.
"But a man—when his word was to
you, Lola—I no think that he could
lie .No! I not know just what is
white man's law. He say to us he
take Indian's law for his own."
"Yes, we are married. He said so.
You told me so. It is my right to be
With him. You must take me."
But he was struggling with his
doubts and with the hcror of a fear
which had come upon •him. Deep in
his throat he made a . queer sound,
prolonging it like the moan of some
animal in distress. Then his stoicism
'was overwhelmed by the agony which
swept through him. His faith had
been assailed not merely by some
white man's say-so, but by the bitter
accusation which Paul Sabatis had
flung in his face—and Paul was an
Indian who had been educated in the
ways and the laws of the white man.
The clack of finger in palm—Paul
had asid that the marriage amounted
only to that! Noel the Bear writhed
on the bench where he was seated and
then slid to his knees on the floor.
The girl stood back. She had never
seen her great-grandfather show any
of the emotion which one might ex-
pect from other folks in time Of stress.
When he spoke it was with a broken
squall which frightened her. His first
worda were uttered in the Mellicite
tongue and she knew he was plead-
ing in prayer to the God of his faith.
"Mebbe wrong! Mebbe wrong!" he
went on. "Only poor Indian. Not
know. Try hard. Want to do right,
` But mebbe wrong! If what I do was
wrong why can't all blame arisl
trouble be on me? No! It's on my
poor 'girl. Give nie some more days
of. life! I go make right what is
wrong!"
"Grandpere! Grandpere! Donald
and I love each other. We begged
you to marry us so that we could be
happy while we were waiting for ,all
to come right for us. I did not mean
to blame you when I said what I did!
But you must take me to him. I
cannot stay at home any longer. I
shall be a mad girl—shall be caduc—
shall be crazy, for pere's tongue will
not stop. He will bring Felix Bis -
son. I have worn to my husband
I will not tell. But they will force
me. I must not break my promise.
Take me t i him."
one of her nature, was convincing:
"There is:. no one else who can help
me. If you do not take me I'll go
alone up and down the big river in
my canoe until I find him. Goll hear
mel Twill not go back to my home."
She gazed about the little .room
with the piteous air of ope bidding
farewell to a sanctuary hallowed by
memories. A part of the dried roses
had been swept down from the wall
by the groping hand. of Noel. "They
no : longer say • `Je t'aime,' " she mur-
mured. "But I say it in my heart.
He will say it to me when I have
my arms about him -once more." Her
lips quivered. "We do not need it
on the wall. The lips shall say it.
He did not came to see when` the
roses were red." She brushed down
with careful hand the dried daisies,
the lilies, and the oOz r flowers which
she had 'wreathed into the words of.
her affection, and the old Indian, ris-
ing from his knees, watched her
silence. He understood with the
poignancy of tan instinctive under-
standitig, and tears sparkled in his
deep eyes. When • she turned to him
he put out his hand to her.
"Lola, come! What they say—
what they do to me! No care now."
Once more he pressed palm to his
forehead. "Something here tell Me
I'm fool—only poor Indian. But
something, here"—he tapped finger
on his breast --"tell me I try to do
right!"
"It is right to help me, for I'm
only a poor girl!"
"Me don't understand—not very
much!"`he mourned, his palm on his
brow, his other hand on his heart,
"suffering 'through that conflict which
is eternal—the struggle in which the
farces of- love -axe fighting against
reason. "Buts come! We go."
Hand in hand, the child of one hun-
dred and two years, the ch114 of
seventeen years, ° they went . forth
seeking. 'Old Noel set his canoe on
the river's brimming. flood; they 'took
their places and paddled down the
current, holding close to the shore
so that the eyes of the Isle of Hebert
should not spy them.
When they were on their way he
explajned to her his pact with Abner
Kezar. With the accuracy of one who
had watched anxiously and jealously
the hour of the post rider's coming,
she told Noel the time when they •
would be likely to intercept the man
on the Long Highway. So, at a hid-
den spot 'on the shore at midday,
they waited and had their instruc-
tions for the rider when he came,
trotting his little White horse.
"The letter for me—when it comes
from Sainte Agathe," she told the
man who had so often smiled on her
joy when he dropped letters into her
hand at the spot where the bar of
iron hung as the ferry signal, "you
carry it on down the river and leave
it at the home of Mitch. Polysusep
and there I will find it. And you will -
not . tell my -pere what I say or that
you have seen me, eh?"
It was wistful pleading and her
dark eyes, filled with tears, were up-
raised and her face vas close to his.
He bent closer. He was a dried and
wrinkled old Acadian.
"For the pay of the extra postage
—if thereis any—" she went on, and
then hesitated—and then she was (sil-
ent, perforce, because he kissed her
red lips.
"It is paid—paid so very much
more than it, will ever cost, joke
Mamiselle Hebert!" he 'cried, gallant-
ly, and went en laughing, his cap in
his hand,
tactless, and' persistent effort to make
himself master of her affairs. From
her, as much as was possible, he con-
cealed that, effort.
Therefore,. gradually, there was a
growing ° misunderstanding in the
Toban in regard to Clare's attitude
toward the men of the X. K, Daily
the field boss applied his methods of
insulation; men who failed in their
efforts to see her and talk their busi-
ness over with her went away humbl-
ed or hurt, angry or suspiciotis. John
Kavanagh, in the 'outbursts of his
bluff tyranny, had been with them and
of thein. But this daughter, with her
education and in her fresh elevation
to supreme power, seemed to be di-
pensing with the compelling quality
of personality. Personality had fed
the fires- of loyalty in the X. K. ma-
chine while Kavanagh was alive.
Kezar, assiduously dulling points .of
contact, was wrecking that machine
more certainly than any outside enemy
influence could prevail against it.
The obsession of the, Kavanagh
puissance still remained with the men
of the ranks and, in the changed con-
dition of affairs, injured rather than
helped; she seemed to be 'haughtily
delegating those powers in desire to
remain aloof. The ,simple -hearted
followers accepted the situation as
-it looked •from the outside; they were
dull- analysts. Even in her presence®
they were ill at ease, apologetic, self-
conscious, like men who acted under
protest. F
Clare was a keen observer, so far
as she was permitted to see; but she
did not understand in this instance;
it became her conviction that men
were unwilling to do business with a
girl. .
However, her heritage and the task
to 'which she had set herself filled
her with high resolve and with the
joy of toil.
She was not animated merely by
sense of loyalty -to her father's mem-
ory, by her implied premise to him
that she would carry on that to which
he had given his life. She had de-
terminedl to keep intact the a, K., the
monument of John Kavanagh's efforts
and sacrifices, but she )new that her
own ambition of achievement was
actuating her as well as her promise.
She stepped out of the headquar
tees camp and stood - in the sunrise
and breathed deeply the frosted air.
It was good to be'there—to know that
she was giving deserving men the
opportunity to toil for their families.
Even though doubts as to her efficiency
would be sure ,to assail her before the
close of day, she always awoke with
a sense of gratitude and determina-
tion' to succeed.
Before her eyes were visible and
heartening evidences of what John
Kavanagh's efforts had won from the
forest for her endowment.
The X. K. depot -camp, field head-
quarters from which tote -roads and
water avenues led to the various
operations, was on the. Sickle -hook,
the thoroughfare which connected the
Twin Ebeemahs, lakes from which
the blackgrowth slopes stretched far
to the ledges of the Saskis range.
Clare looked down on the still waters
of the Sickle -hook and saw her flotil-
al of bateaux, the warp gondolas, the
sup,pply-scows and the boom -tenders'
hohseboats. Between her and the
thoroughfare straggled the hamlet of
long houses—the broad hovels where
the big, slow woods horses munched
eheii' oats and nuzzled in the racks
of hay; in the silence she could hear
them. Under the roofs of cedar
splints --coverings, carefully matched
against the rain and the snow, she
knew that bounty was heaped—tiered
casks of pork, barrels of flour, sacks,
cases, kegs and the olla podrida of
lumber -camp needs. There were
mounds where barrels of kerosene
were buried to guard against evapor-
ation. Baled hay, piled high and
covered with canvas, low structures
of corrugated iron . which protected
grain and feed from the mice, bunk-
houses, cook -camps — the village
crowded the slope.
While she • stood there in the sun-
rise, a gasoline -engine began to bark
and there was sound of iron grinding
.aanist stone the tool -sharpeners
were at work. A crew for a new
operation- on the far Whir'1in-gstone
had been fed and were starting away,
dunnage -sacks across their shoulders,
each man - with an ax in his hand.
Five months of wilderness ahead of
them! They waved their axes, pull-
ed off their caps,,, and cheered her.
There were almost, one hundred men
in that crew; a. half-dozen such crews
were in the woods ahead of them, She
felt a thrill of, honest pride, and
memory of something her father had
told her brought moisture into her
eyes.
"Soyou shall know!" sold the chi
k,
consolingly, when they were in
canoe again. "The letter will come
Then we go to find him. Now think
good thoughts all the time. Keep
tears away. Put back - roses on
cheeks. He shall love you when he
see you. Happy times will come"
It was a day full of the 'glory of
autumn, without breath of breeze.
They paddled on, their thoughts
keeping speech from their lips.
-The chief set ashore at the place
which had been Old Joel is. The
windows were shuttered and spiders
had sealed -the closed doors with webs.
"Me see Paul Sabatis. At Hulling
Machine have talk," he told her. 'He
regarded her with keen gaze..
"He's a traitor, grandpere," she
cried, with sudden fury. "He promis-
ed to help me. But he told lies to
hurt sue. He told them here in this
place to the drunken men, and those
lies have gone up and down the
border. He does not dare to meet
me face to face again."
"He has gone north—to the deep
woods. You will not see him." Be-
yond that Noel did mot eminent. It
was not his nature to gossip; he did
not deal in speculations by the
spoken word.
"My husband will believe me," she
declared, proudly,
The chief pointed over the trees.
to a thin spire of smoke thrusting
straight up against the blue of the
sky. It was the signal summoning•
the Mellicites to the Feast of the
Maize. "We go that way—to Telos."
"But the ° letter;" she pleaded,
anxiously.
"The letter will conte where we
may. go. It's for the -Royal Lis Blanc!
Same as chief. Me take you to Telos.
You shall hear my word to the tribe.
You take the great oath. I give to
you the staff, the .wampum, and the
feather and the fur,"
But the princess, on her way to
her coronation, stopped at the edge
of the woods and gazed back at the
river with regret and longing. It
Gas the avenue along which she wish -
d to journey; it would lead her to
the man she loved. To -be proclaimed
his wife before the world was the one
dear honor for which she yearned.
The promised promulgation that she
was to be respected as the head of
the Mellicites weighed as only a trifle
beside that other promise. ' New hope
rose in her: he would take ,her to
himself now that she had no home
except that which he could give her.

The foe within the Kavanagh walls

sessioils outspread there in the morn-
ing light was urge for her ambition,
but the memory of how John Kava-
nagh had earned. what he left to her
fortified her with more earnest de-
termination than mere ambition could
give
Dumphy trudged past her with his
pail of fresh water, as meek a slave
in the service of Elisiane Sirois at
the field -camp as he had been at the
mansion at Ste. Agathe. Ever since
Clare's outburst one day in her little
comedy on the porch with her father,
Dumphy had slid s pprer.'i :sive side -
glance at the girl o' mornings, as if
he wanted -to make sure of the mood
in which she had risen.
At that moment Clare was observ-
ing another little drama at the foot
of the slope, near the thoroughfare.
Donald Kezar had suddenly snatched
something from a man with whom he
had been talking; the man had newly
arrived in a canoe. They were too
far away for their words to be heard
by her.
"Dumphy " She did not turn her
gaze from the men at the shore.
Kezar snapped his fingers insolently
under the sp'an's nose and turned a-
way.
-
wa YesOn!"
"Did you notice tithat man with
Donald when you came past? Who
is he?"
"His tongue was saying that he's
any tonguein that gang."
She waitek for a few moments; the
man went :away in. his -canoe, but
Kezar did not. come to her or appear
to know that she was looking on. He
went off toward the wangan-camp.
She walked across the slope and
intercepted him. His hands were
empty.`
"Have you a message for me—
did that man bring one?"
"It's only a little business—noth-
ing worth your bothering with."
"What business?"
He was not ready to confess to
her that. he was • taking a letter to
some safe place where he could steam
the flap of the envelope. _
The unreadiness to confess, coupl-
ed with the danger in trying to ex-
plain at that moment what the busi-
ness was, caused him to hesitate.
"I saw you take something from
the man. If it's a letter, give it to
me."
"I know how you feel toward the
Temiscouata bunch and I thought I
would save- you all • bother," he ex-"
plained, not at all sure of his tone or
his features. He made no move to
produce the letter.
She put out her hand.
"Clare, it's best for me to 'tend to
all these rows. I know how to fight
'em."
She stared at him, frankly amazed.
"Donald, do you presume enough,, to
intercept messages addressed to me 1"
"I didn't mean it like that. But I
didn't think you'd want to have any
truck with anybody by the --name of
Marthorn, so I—"
'tient another word! That mes-
sage!" He placed a letter in her
hand. It -was' addressed to her and "

"You see,,1 knew it was from. him,

to myself I'd save you from being

WEIGH LESS WHEN WALKING
EAST
When you are walking due east
you weigh' less than when standing
still; - when walking due west you
weigh more than when standing still.
The differences is only a few hun-
dredths of an ounce, so you would
need very delicate scales to measure
it. But a loaded railway car weigh-
ing 100 tons when standing still loses
about forty pounds when moving
eastward at twenty-five miles an
hour and gains about forty pounds
when moving westward at similar
speed.
This is no paradoO, and it is fair-
ly easy to explain. When'standing
still on the earth your body is the
object of two forces, the first of
t»'hich, you own weigl't, is directed
vertically and tends to keep you press-
ed to the ground; the second is the
centrifugal force caused by the rota-
tion of the earth on its axis once in
twu.ty-four hours. This is directed
ar. a tangent to the circumference of
the earth. - "; e earth turns from
west to east, so if your weight sud-
denly .became nothing, thus leaving
no force holding you to the ground,
you would fly off the each in an east-
ward direction and go on at a speed
of about a thousand miles -an hour
until you were lost in space or came
in collision with the moon or another
planet or some star, or until you're-
covered.your' weight and were drawn
by gravitation back to the earth, on
which you would land, of course, if

you had been going only a few min-
utes, ,-at the same spot from which
you •started, but if you had been go-
ing several hours, at a spot further
west.
These two forces, gravitation and
centrifugal, are "blended in acting on
your body, whether you stand still or
move, and the resultant is the weight
you-feV or : that impresses itself upon
a weiging hmachine. If you move in
the directioe of the earth's rotation,
from west to east, ,the centrifugal
force increases 'and the weight of
your body diminishes; if you move
contrariwise to the earth's rotation,
from east to west, the centrifugal
force decreases and the • weight of
tour body increases.
it has been calculated that a man
weighing 220 pounds walking at two
and a half miles an hour eastward
loses 0.0643014 ounce and gains a like
amount when walking westward at ,
the same speed.
A Hungarian`mathematician named
Eotvos of Budapest has .recently built
a delicate apparatus that demonstrates
these variations visibly, but from the
rather..vague description of the ma-
chine given by La Natnre (Paris) ,it
is impossible to judge whether or not
it also measures them.. La Nature's
description is as follows
"A horizontal bar with equal
weights at its two extremities turns
in. the horizontal plane. Thus the two
weights mike alternately toward the
east and to•tvard the west. In these
conditions their apparent weight un-
dergoes periodic fluctuations, and
these are translated by the vibrations
of the bar. "These. are made visible
by means of h'hn optical arrangement;
tile weighed' bar is turned by cloek-
w%rk around; a vertical support, upon
whieh is mounted a small horizontal
mirror on which an exactly vertical
ray of light is projected. This .ray is
reflected and sent back by a mirror
at an angle of forty-five degrees upon
a vertical screen. Evotvos proves
that if the apparatus were perfectly
centred the luminous spot would trace
a complete circle upon the sereen each
time the bar made a half .revolution,
and the two circles corresponding to
aom lete revolution would coinbide.
c p
But perfect centring being impossible,
the two circles actually become two
ellipses with unequal axes."

A team of horses costs about $4001 double harness
$100, a wagon $75, making a total of $575. A Ford
Truck cosh $750 at Ford, Ont.
Government experiments have proved that the cost
of feeding a horse is 8.7 cents per 'working hour,or
17.4 cents ped team per hour. One team, if collecting
milk, could not cover more than 30 miles a day.
The cost for twelve hours would be $2.09, or about
seven cents a mile. The cost for gas and oil for a
Ford Truck is only 4 cents a mile. The Ford Truck
soon pays for itself in the reduced cost of operation.
•
A Ford Truck will cover at least 69 miles a day col-
lecting milk or 250 miles on long. hauls. it enables you
to operate at a lower cost per> mmle and to cover twice
as much territory as with horses. -
