everything “wet”. Even to the

Residents of Ave. D were
wondering at the dignified ap-
pearance of the usually modest
Mr. Ed. Fischnar on the streets
last Sunday evening. Upon in-
quiry it was learned that a little
son had made his appearance at
his home on Easter morning.
Mother and child are doing well,
and “Papa” Eddie is slowly re-
covering. Congratulations.

Putting Farm Work Horses in Condition
Not being able to preach at
Shiner Sunday on account of the
roads, Rev. J. D. McWhorter of
the local Methodist church, was
invited to preach at the Baptist
church here. His sermon was
greatly appreciated by all who
heard it. Sometime ago Rev. J.
F. Green of the Baptist church
preached at the Methodist
church. In this age of religious
discord, the foregoing is a pleas-
ant item to print.—New Era.

Harvesting small grain in the great Northwest.
Progress in farm field work in the
coming months depends largely on the
condition of the work horses. Soft
from the winter’s rest, farm work
horses require conditioning just as an
athlete requires training for his test.
Every farmer knows that two or
three weeks spent in a gradual tough-
ening and conditioning of a horse for
the heavy work is more than made up
toefore the season of heavy field work
is over. Not only does this condition-
ing include breaking them in to the
iong hours of hard pull that they
must undergo, but applies as well to
breaking them in to a working ration.
It is poor practice to allow a horse
to pasture on much new lushy grass
if he is to go on a strenuous work
•schedule. A little grass is good for
him, helps to condition him, but he
must have oats, bran or old corn, or
still better, a combination of the three
and good sound hay. These are the
best possible rations in the spring and
early summer. The horse that is fed
a major ration of grass soon gets soft,
sweats profusely, lags and quickly
plays out. Oats, bran, corn and hay
Still give him stamina and leave him
in the best condition at the end of
the day.
By treating old Dobbin fairly, get-
ting him ready for spring work with
daily exercise, keeping him thoroughly
groomed, especially while shedding,
and a .work ration instead of his
winter feed will pay big dividends in
a short time.
If the horse takes a long time to
shed his coat, this can be facilitated!
by thorough, frequent grooming and
if this does not do the work, a clipping
all over will get him through the shed-
ding period quickly. After the horse
has started to work in the field, it is
advisable to bathe the shoulders and
neck two or three times daily with
cold, soft, salty water or with white
oak bark tea which toughens and
cleanses the chafed parts.
A prominent veterinarian states
that excessive sweating is remedied
by clipping the horse. Excessive
sweating weakens the animal and it is
doubtless quite advisable to clip him
to relieve this condition. It is also
true that this practice enables the
horse to be thoroughly groomed in
much less time than when it retains
its long winter coat of shaggy hair.

There’s Energy In
Cottonseed Meat
HIGH feeding value of cottonseed meal
t
By Dr. E. R. Lloyd, Director of Farm Bureau, Memphis Chamber of Commerce.
Cottonseed Meal has been the principal grain feed for cattle in the South for
many years, but it is only within recent years that it has been generally used by
Northern feeders. For many years cattle feeders in the North had a strong preju-
dise against Cottonseed Meal, due largely to a lack of knowledge of comparative
feeding value of Meal, and to some extent, to false propaganda distributed from
many sources, If there still exists a doubt in the minds of feeders as to value and
safety of Cottonseed Meal as feed they have but to examine the results of many feed-
ing experiments, conducted at both Northern and Southern stations, comparing Cot-
tonseed Meal with other concentrates in the production of beef and dairy products,
to have this doubt removed. Our own Southern people have never fully appreciated
the value of Cottonseed Meal as a feed.
REDUCES FEEDING COSTS TO HALF
A better adjustment of the carburetor on an automobile will produce more miles travel
to the gallon of gasoline. A better adjustment of the protein of a ration for a horse
or mule produces better results from a pound of feed—Cottonseed Meal does this.

Judge Quality

The quality of Ford cars can not
be judged by the prices at which
they are sold — because Ford
prices are made possible by con-
ditions that are absolutely
unique in the automotive in-
dustry.
From mine to market the Ford
car is the work of a single organ-
ization. The Company owns and
operates the mines and forests
that furnish the raw materials
for its products. This material
is carried over Ford transporta-
tion routes, fabricated in Ford
mills, manufactured in Ford
plants—and the finished pro-
duct is sold to the publie—
through the Ford dealer
organization.
Thus there is but a single man-
ufacturing profit on the car.
The following statement, pre-
viously made in an advertising
message, is repeated here
because of its great significance
to the motoring public.
“If any other manufacturer endeavored to produce a
car similar to the Ford, according to the high stand-
ards of quality in material and workmanship used by
the Ford Motor Company and with the same tried and
proved design, it would be impossible to offer it at any
thing like Ford prices. And it is well to note that even
with less costly design they have not been able to meet
Ford prices
