than at any other time of the year we hav gathered together a number of suggestions which will be found to be valuable for the benefit of your horse and your pocket during the hot summer season remember that cleanliness always travels side by side with kindness the horse like yourself is subject to the troubles diseases and pains of life therefore be merciful general rules 1 a clean stable no manure should be allowed to gather the cleaner you keep the stable tho better for the horse and yourself 2 screens on doors and windows plenty of fresh air most important can thus circulate and flies can be kept from your horse 3 sponge your horse oftenest where he sweats the most rub him dry fluffy towels ore good and cheap do not use the hose on your horse 4 cleanse eyes and nostrils and occasionally tjie ears 5 you cannot be too careful of the hoofs never allow yourself to leave stable at night without thoroughly cleaning the lower portions of the legs and fetlocks where clay can easily be obtained it will pay to pack the what is a balanced ration the balanced ration idea is about twentyfive years old that is the talk of balanced rations was a com paratively new thing among farmers of twentyfive years ago and it meant at that time that a certain percentage of protein carbohydrates and fat must prevail in the ration to make it balance too much protein would cause tho animal to grow muscle and frame or give milk sit the expense of flesh and too great a proportion of carbohydrates and fat would produce fat at the cost of growth the world keeps moving on we live and learn and our ideas change as they are influenced by the information we tako on we have learned that there are many things essential to the wellbeing and normal development of an animal besides protein carbo hydrates and fat we hear a great deal these days about minerals in the ration and the newest thing we talk about in connection with proper food is vitamines we all understand what minerals are and can readily see the connection between lime phosphate and salt and strong bones vigorous constitution and good digestion but these vitamines what are they esse aggigbaa ate iy ag

wearing his newly devised swimming cap fitted with glass coverings for the eyes and which also covers nose and ears hoofs at least three times a week what do they look like where do makmg the clay into a stiff paste you get them one needs b watch the shoulders if while imagination and a little working your horse you find the knowledge to comprehend them but how to hang our pictures by dorothy arnold in fact the dislike almost amounts to hate and the only reason is that ever since the two boys were old enough to distinguish right from wrong frank has been held up as a shining ample of behavior frank wouldnt sit down in the dirt with his best clothes on is the way clifford is reprimanded for his carelessness frank doesnt take such big bites of food is offered as an incentive toward good table manners the truth is that frank is natur ally disposed to be neat his temper- anient is entirely unlike cliffords and it isnt an effort for him to be clean and polite clifford has many good wholesome qualities but he is husky and decidedly boylike an altogether different makeup but these things are not taken into consideration by his mother thero is just one reason why a child should bo asked or expected to act in a certain way or follow a given line of conduct and that is because j because stealing is wrong and not be- cause it makes mother feel bad betty took a bag first said julia defending herself thats no excuse for you my dear you cant take things that belong to someone else even if your friend does but mother you always tell ma betty is so nice and quiet and good to her baby sister so now why dont you put the blame on betty can you wonder that julia showed this resentmentt this case illustrates the fallacy of holding another child up as an ideal of behavior perhaps jack does keep his hands clean but he may be de plorably deceitful suppose mildred does go to bed without pouting and picks up her playthings without being told she may be a very disagreeable selfish little girl when she plays with other children so beware of holding mildred up to your little mary as an ideal for mary knows all about mil- such a course of action is right and eds faults it all comes back to proper not because some other child what julia insinuated to her mother does thus and so if you are going about betty that if an ideal is set shoulders getting sore far better for pictures are for art museums not for the walls of a house a prominent lecturer declared recently such a statement draws instant protest from us for how uninteresting our rooms would be without the relief of pic- good itures but when we consider the pic- little scientific j tures on some walls we see his point the horse and yourself to stop work ing for a half hour rub down the shoulders and apply the following hardoning lotion tannic acid 14 oz powdered alum 2 oz carbolic acid 1 dr water 1 qt i saw a span of horses last year that had been working on railroad they have always been prevalent ii greater or lesser degree in tho live stock foods of the farm for all practical purposes we may consider them along with minerals as some of the other things that are essential to make a perfectly balanced ration we understand then that a j balanced ration means a ration that construction for seven years and had contains in correct proportions all not been laid off for longer than two

give him salt j plenty of water in small quantities that for a room full of pictures means cluttered and varied assortment of shapes sizes colors and subjects un related to each other or to anything else in the room a good rule is not to purchase a pictures are best hung in direct ro- jatlon to pieces of furniture or archi tectural features a largo picture fits in well over a mantelpiece or over a sofa which stands against a large wall space smaller pictures are good hung over a desk a table or over chairs very small ones may be hung in a group close together so that littli wall space shows between them and so that if bounding lines were drawn about the outside of the group the lines would be horizontal and vertical diagonal lines aro to be avoided be- picture until we are sure just where cause we see them w it is to go and how it will look in i thing else if oicfure h h that place most of us however have a sngo wig nffdlagonasy lo to set up an ideal for a child to attain bo sure the ideal is infallible ho will not reach this perfection of course as no human being ever does but it will be worth striving for he should be inspired with an inward consciousness of right and not directed to act like some other child julias mother was very much crushed ono day to find that her small daughter had stolen a bag of popcorn from tha peddlers wagon how could you do such a thing up it should be followed in all points and yet thero never was a child so perfect that you could say you wanted your child to be like him in everjr respect the only safe way then is to com ment favorably on the good traits your own child possesses and by thus stressing his best natural character- istlcs inspire him to devolop other good cnos not because some playmate has these qualities but because they appeal to him as desirable and j i y w uusiraoie ana end make your mother feel so bad whenever you are tempted to set up was tho first reprimand julia received shining examples before your chit-
