treatment. Their previous experience 

 may be responsible, but when an em- 

 ployer treats such with a touch of sytn- 

 pathy, or other than as a mere beast 

 of burden, there is born in the heart of 

 the worker a suspicion that something 

 Is wrong; he thinks the kindness is 

 prompted by a selfish motive; that he 

 may not get his pay or the boss is 

 "working" him for longer hours. Some- 

 times it makes him conceited, and we 

 have known an employer to utterly 

 spoil a good man by voluntarily rais- 

 ing his wages. 



The sympathetic employer is com- 

 pelled to treat this sort on a strictly 

 business footing and sometimes with 

 severity. You can't feed sugar to a 

 cross dog with safety. The thing for 

 the down-trodden son of labor to ap- 

 preciate is that not all men are ty- 

 rants nor entirely selfish. There is an 

 employer occasionally who is partially 

 selfish, but who retains some old-fash- 

 ioned notions of consideration for 

 others under his roof. 



If all such could be mated with the 

 industrious, honest and capable hired 

 men, and all the curmudgeons would 

 get the shiftless, no 'count fellows, a 

 seal of the eternal fitness of things 

 would he set upon this question of 

 hired help on the farm. 



Too often, also, are the round pegs

are crowding the new teeth out of 

 place have them pulled, as they will 

 save lots of cribbing horses later on; 

 also have the molars examined, as the 

 new ones crowd them against the cheek 

 or tongue, causing sores on both, and 

 painful mastication is the result. 



This branch of veterinary science 

 has been sadly neglected in the rural 

 districts, and two-thirds of the dis- 

 tricts, and two-thirds of the diseases 

 of the horse arise from painful masti- 

 cation and result in indigestion, from 

 I he fact that the teeth become uneven, 

 with sharp points wearing in decayed 

 cavities and the outer edges become 

 sharp and turn against the cheeks; the 

 inner edges of the under teeth turning 

 in and cutting the tongue, causing sores 

 on cheek and tongue. This may be 

 cured by properly operating on the 

 teeth, as also the following — driving 

 im one line, sloughing at mouth, quid- 

 ding, tossing of head, shying, scour- 

 ing' when driven, running at the eyes, 

 gnawing the manger, periodical balk- 

 ing. 



Do not overlook the feet and teeth, 

 as has been done in the past, as I am 

 positive they have both deteriorated in 

 the last twenty years. They are 



easy to overlook, and in trying to 

 bring some other point or points to 

 perfection, such as action, good mane 

 and tail, the most particular parts of 

 the horse are lost sight of, and once 

 lost can never be regained. 



There has been, says the Pajaronian, 

 an unusually heavy sale of nursery 

 stock within the past two weeks In 

 Pajaro valley. The season is late this 

 year and much tree planting will yet 

 be done. Newtons and Bellflowers con- 

 stitute the largest portion of the apple 

 stock that is being planted.
