Always Quarrelling "Ihre years ago, when they first plated their ca » pear Tannin, it was noticed they were always quarreling; I knew for years that they had been very quarrelsome.

Ahother angle of this made manifest information w old trappews fs near Tannin who three yes Arrow River. 1 The man who brought this infor- mation, and who for the present does not wish. his name disclosed, said that the two trarpers who were, on the Arrow were named Joe Joncas and Dave Alley.

The 'birds must also get a suffcient quantity of green feed, either in the form of sprouted oats, mangles or alfalfa. As a general rule sprouted oats give the most sat- iefactory results, though their prepar- ation entails a little additional work. The question is often asked: "How much feed sould be given to a flock of fifty birds in crder to get a satisfae- tory egg yield?" but it is one that sach breeder must answer for him- self as a result of his own observat- ons when feeding. " The following method of feeding has Liven excellent results and is one that an be recommended. In addition to the dry mash, ete. kept constantly be- ore the birds, give a light feed (about Jalf a handful per bird) of scratch yrain, in a deep litter, as soon as it sets 1ght in the morning. If sproutec sats are fed, they may be given in th 'orenoon in the proportion of ou: "quare inch per bird, or if a wet mast. is given at moon they may be mixec 1 with it. The we mash may consist of the same ingredients as the dry 1ash, but moistened with milk, wate: ir table scraps. The birds should no se given more than they cah clean uj ifteen minutes. The other green feed Jreviously mentioned is best fed either -uspended from 2 wire about six in- hes above the level of the birds' The work that the horse has to perform is done from the shoulder, go it is very important that extreme the fitting and ad- lar is generally so firm and stiff that it is difficult to mould it to the shape of the horse's neck and shoulder without soaking it in water over night. After soaking a collar of the proper size in three inches of water, face down until well wet, it may be' placed on the horse. The hame straps should be adjusted to draw the col- jar snugly to the neck. The collar in its softened condition will press into shape to suit the horse's .shoul- der. Be sure of the adjustment of the hames and draft. Work the horse only moderately the first few days while the shoulders are hardening and becoming used to the collar. Fre- quent airing and bathing to cool the shoulder and remove sweat and dust 3 in preventing shoulder soreness. Dealing With Mis-shapen Shoulders. Horses that have mis-shapen shoul- ders can.only be given relief by be- ing fitted with a collar or collar pad made to suit the requirement of a special case.

The horse's shoulder should the day when at 'heavy, work, especially during hot weather. Bathi with salt water each evening, and treat' the galls with a dusting of zinc oxide. If the horse is so fortunate as to be.in the hands 'of a good driver or teamster it is trouble very Jong.

The seaman has had a great deal of trouble to get matches at his weight in' 'Winnipeg, 'and like. many boxers he has been to some extent the vietin of the unfortunate habit of promoters in matching men of uneven weight, the idea being apparently to attract the public to the box-office :prespective of what happens to the boxers themselves. : Smart is the possesseor of a very fine record. He holds the cup for the Battle Cruiser' lightweight champion- ship of 1915 this cup being: presented to him by Admiral Beatty. He also held the cup for the lightweight championship "of the Grand leet in 1917, but lost this cup when Barney Doran's boxing Club was burned out. The following shows some of the high spots in his record for thiee years, 1916, 1917 and 1218: » HEL 1916--Beat cung Simpson, the lightweight chanpion of west of Iing- land.
