"The early bird catches the worm"

is a maximum that has a wider ap- plication than perhaps we think. The man who gets his seeds into the ground early in the spring, eq-as soon as his land can be got into good shape. is the _early bird. Ho is much more ,likely to reap it bountiful harvest than is his neighbor who is always n llttli- behind.

But in order to get the seeding

done well and early, it. is very ncccs- sary that the horses, like thc men, be in good shape. They should not bs _hog fat. but in _good strong physical conditions, with 'muscles hardened and shoulders-tcughened, Tho horse thathas been lille all winter slit.-nltl bo put to light work and fed lightly oii_grain (preferably oats and brunt to give .them the staying' powers. This light work will put. the slioulil- ers in shape to stand the hot days of spring without scaldlng. At the sumt- tlme the muscles firm up and l-Zradu» ally get ready for the extremes of seed time.

ing it will pay to have the hot-sits clipped. They will work with mut-i

But with the scarcity of help. we

fear that many horses will have no tittlpg or preparation put on them this spring. They will be harnessed a,utl put right into hard work. These horses' will not be in shape to___ilo their best. and special care must be given them or sore shoulders are lla- ble to develop. To prevent such a good bathing with cold spring watcr with rr handful of suit dissolved therein should be given as soon ns the horses reach their stable. This is an excellent means of removing the fever and ol' liillrdéhlng the shoulders. Oak bark tea (not too strong) is another splendid remedy for fitting shoulders for hard work? Of course, the very first. necessity is a close, well-fitting collar.

With the shortage of man-powcr,lt.

will pay in many causes to use three or fc-ur-horse teams. The one driver can handle them, even though it may be necessary where the old iniple ments are still in good order to bitch the barrow bchind the drill or the drill behind the roller. etc. Then more work would bc done with less drain on the horses than where only one pair is used and pushed to their utmost capacity.

Where nt all possible, it will pay

to fit the hc-rses i`or the spring work' when they are expected to do their best.'Certa-lnly the iu~foal marc should not be launched from a winter of idleness into hard work ot' seeding without some preparation.
