GOOD SERVICE

le equipment has been tuned up to
meet the test while in addition extra

Donnell.
At every transfer point across the
Dominion, employees too, are on their
toesto make certain that our Christ-
mas Day delivery record is kept in-
tact, . for the result is only possible
by strict attention to detail on the
part of every employee combined with
a thorough co-ordination of .' express

dicted.an extremely heavy movement
of Christmas packages by Express,

How to Deal With-
Parastiesof Horses
It is as necessary as it ever was
for the young farmer; to learn,_a1l he
can about the care. of "horses... Para-
sites of horses and the diseases caus-
ed by them are al'a'yt .. of donsider-
able importance. ..Young animals par-
ticularly are : more susceptible. and
less resistant to the ravages of these
pests and may be permanently; affect-
ed, if nothing is- done for thele, be-
fore they reach.the age of usefulness.
Dr. A. E. Cameron, chief veterinary
inspector of the Health of Animals
Branch, Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture, states in the bulletin on
"Parasites of Horses," issued by the
Department, that a large variety of
parasites of horses, both external and
internal, exist in Canada or may be
introduced into the Dominion, and
consequently it behooves the horse-
man to be always on the watch to pre-
vent the serious damage which fol-

lows heavy infestation by these pests.
Contaminated water or food is a
great cause of disease, and stables
shoud be kept as clear of manureas
possible, Practically all organs and
tissues of the horse may be invaded
by mature parasites or their Iarvae,
and the methods of combating the
ravages of the pests are fully dealt
with in the bulletin.
