Asphalt and Ice a Bad Combination --~8pecial Shoeing Sometimes Necessary---Sheep Raising In the Movies. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) " s» HEN a horse falls in har- ness he almost immediate- ly struggles to regain his feet. A strong, healthy | horse will not remain down volun- { tarily, but in his efforts to rise he may become frightened. If the driver will give the right kind of first aid he can prevent serious injury to the animal, says the United States De- partment of Agriculture. First Unhitch Horse. Held down by the harness the horse seldom has sufficient freedom to rise to his feet, though enough to struggle and injure himself by pounding his head on the ground. Accordingly, the driver should calm the horse first by speaking in a re- assuring tone, and, by placing his knees upon the animal's neck just back of the ears, endeavor to prevent injury from struggling or from bruis- ing his head. An intelligent horse | quickly learns to place great confi- dence in the voice of a good driver. The traces and breeching straps should be unfastened and the vehicle rolled back from the fallen animal. If the horse is in double hitch, the traces and yoke strap should be un- fastened and the pole, vehicle, and working mate moved a short distance i away. An injured horse will then re- gain his feet readily if he has suit- able footing. In case the ground is icy, scatter some fine sand, sawdust, or straw under and in front of him. If nothing of this kind is available, spread a blanket or burlap bagging on the pavement to give him better footing as he attempts te stand. When the Horse Lies Broadside. in case the horse needs more help and encouragement, and especially if he lies broadside, roll him on to his chegt, with the hind legs under the belly. Then work both front legs forward until the feet are firmly on the ground and knees flexed. If after | repeated efforts and good footing he continues to fall back upon the 'ground there is possibly some injury | to the hind. parts, such as a fracture 1 of the hip or leg, which should be examined by a qualified veterinarian, In all effort to assist a fallen horse do not forget that in rising to his feet he raises the head and fore parts first. This is directly opposite to the habit of the cow, which elevates the hind parts first. : Asphalt Especially Treacherous. Injuries to horses are common dur- ing the winter months in cities where snow becomes packed and forms an Asphalt is especially troublesome and when covered by a very light sleet or snow makes a very treach- erous footing for horses. The milk- 'man or baker, who drove upon a clean pavement the night before, may find the streets at 4 a.m. so nearly impassable from a coat of smooth ice as to delay his deliveries very greatly or even prevent them entirely. Special shoes and Careful Driving. In country districts horses remain sharp or rough shod for a consider- able time. But if they are driven much on city streets paved with stone, cement, or asphalt, from which the snow has been removed, their shoes quickly become smooth and it is dif- ficult for the horses to keep their feet. a horse is likely to fall and injure his knees, while side slipping generally Shoeing with rubber pads, or the use is always the possibility of a horse loading are important Weekly News Letter. = A motion- picture film dealing with sheep on the farm has recently been completed by the film laboratories of i Department of : Agriculture in co-operation with the : the United States 'Bureau of Animal Industry.

In December last when Kenora was completing its arrangements | with the Ontario government re- garding the English river pulp- wood limits, and the White Dog Rapids power on the Winnipeg River, which were secured by Mr Backus and associates, the City of Winnipeg and other power in- the Province of Manitoba entered a protest against Mr Backus secu- ring the White Dog power, claim- ing that it would be detrimental to their interests. In order to arrange if possible any difficulties with these Winnipeg interests, representatives of Kenora attend- ed a conference in Winnipeg. The question was discussed, and there did not appear to be any very serious differences. Later, Winni- peg arranged a conference at Ot- tawa with repersentatives of the Dominion government, at which Premier Drury represented the Province of Ontario. Kenora was not invited to send representa-- tives. At this conference it was agreed between the two govern-. ments that legislation authorizing the Lake of the Woods Control Board would be enacted by the Parliament of Canada and the: Legislature of Ontario. : A copy of the tenth draft of this proposed Act was received here a few days ago, and the more ! it is examined and considered the the more its detrimental effects' upon these western districts be-| comes apparent. In short the! province of Ontario is giving or| at least dividing its control of power rights and other features of provincial interest without secur- ing anything in return. The Act recites that "It shall be the duty: of the Board to secure at all times the most dependable flow and the most advantageous and beneficial use of (a) the waters of Winni- peg River and (b) the waters of the English River; and in subse- quent paragraphs it defines the. power of the Board and the terri- tory it covers. 7 It must be remembered that Winnipeg interests before the Internationa Joint Commission, contended fo ra regulated flow of i pointed by the the waters out of the lake, rather than for a uniform level, are, of course, not interested in the level of the lake, but Kenora District is on account of the local interests affected. Winnigeg in- terests want variation when nec- essary for their power interests, whereas our uses of power will | be uniform on account of the na- ture of industries operating here, | oth 7 n=, Winnipeg utilities will terests on the Winnipeg river in great variaton, their peak ~ load being reached in winter months, | when their power requirements would lower the level of the lake to a degree that would be detri- mental to our industries in the carly spring before the rising of the waters in June. How Dryden would be affected. Suppose the waters in Winni- peg river were low, and the level | in Wabigoon lake and river were high, and the power interests at Dryden were anxious to maintain this level (by regulating the flow) in order. to protect their power against a period of low water they woud be compelled to forego this right because Winnipeg power interests would request the Con- trol Beard to exercise their auth- ority to compel greater discharge at Dryden--highly inimical to the interests of the Dryden Paper Co. and the town of Dryden. The same condition would apply to the power development on Eagle river, again harmful to the same Company, and to the growing town at Eagle, The Act is being introduced in furtherance of an agreement reached between the Dominion and Ontario governments, but the Dominion is giving nothing, had (in fact no concession to make, whereas the Ontario Legislature 1s giving away the inherent rights . of the Province. If this Board wree wholly ap- Government of Ontario they would naturally protect the interests of the people of the province. But as the Dom- inion appaoints two of the four members and the chairman, with the right, it is said, of a casting voteit is evident that the provace will lose virtually all control -- Kenora Miner.
