KALAMAZOO COUNTY
Some Advantages Afforded AT THE Western State Normal School KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN
1. The Life Certificate may be earned by graduates of approved high schools in two years. This certificate granted at the Western Normal Is now accepted in more than twenty States.
2. At the opening of the fall term, 1918, four-year courses were offered at the Normal leading to the Bachelor's degree. Graduates of the two-year life certificate course complete the A. B. course at Ann Arbor in two years.
3. Western Normal instructors (65 in number) have been trained in forty-two leading colleges, normal schools and universities.
4. Western Normal graduates are in great demand. They are now teach- ing in every section of Michigan-also in 31 States as well as in Alaska, Canada and Porto Rico.
5. The library contains 17,000 carefully chosen volumes, all selected in the past thirteen years, and Is growing rapidly. One hundred and seventy-five periodicals are regularly received, and the library now includes 52 complete sets of the leading magazines.
6. The new Science building (three stories, 148 feet long by 78 feet wide), which with equipment cost $130,000, greatly increases the efficiency of the several departments of science.
7. The gymnasium (120 feet by 68 feet) is equipped with apparatus, swimming pool, showers, lockers and running track. It is the largest normal school gymnasium in the Middle West.
8. We have a fourteen-acre athletic field. A splendid diamond, a first- class football gridiron, and one of the best quarter-mile tracks in the country are among the features. Bleachers with a capacity for 3,000 spectators have been provided.
9. The Student Loan Fund has served splendidly in assisting deserving students. Three hundred and fifty loans have been made during the past five and one-half years.
10. Young men who have completed the life certificate course receive from $950 to $1,200 the first year. Graduates of the Normal are now holding 228 important administrative positions in Michigan, including superintendencies, principalships, county normal directorships and county commissionerships.
11. A two-year life certificate course in Commerce was organized at the opening of the school year in 1916. Graduates of this course are already in demand beyond our ability to supply.
12. Western Normal Is the only institution in Michigan granting a special manual training certificate. Graduates of this department are teaching in 36 cities in Michigan and in nine States other than Michigan. The normal school possesses manual training equipment valued at $12,000, and additions are constantly being made to this equipment.
13. The new course In Rural Administration is growing in favor. This is a two-year course leading to the life certificate. There is a most promising field for graduates of this department, and the demand for such graduates at high salarles Is now beyond the supply.
14. The Normal Lunch Room serves 500 students daily and there are rooms for 1,200 students within easy walking distance of the school.
15. Expenses are reasonable. The tultion fee Is $6.00 for 12 weeks for residents of Michigan and $10.00 for non-resident students. To this is added a fee of $1.50 for the support of athletics and for subscriptions to the Normal Record and the Western Normal Herald. There are many opportunities for remunerative work.
16. There is a splendid patriotic spirit at Western. The Service flag already has 220 stars, representing graduates and undergraduates. Thirty of our graduates and students hold officers' commissions.
17. The buildings and equipment are all new. The inventory of land, buildings and contents is $600,000. The Normal now owns nearly forty acres of land.
IMPORTANT
18. A law passed by the Legislature in 1915 requires a minimum of six weeks of professional training of all beginning teachers in Michigan. Western Normal offers courses especially planned to meet the needs of such beginners and to fulfill the requirements of the law.

Horse Ailments (From the Biggle Horse Book)
The majority of horse ailments may be traced, directly or indirectly, to im- proper feeding and watering, careless management in the stable and in harness. A careless driver is a very frequent cause of loss.
There is no reason why a first-class team, six to eight years old, should not serve continuously and satisfactorily for a term of twelve to sixteen years, if properly protected, fed and looked out for.
If, from improper care or feeding, or from some unavoidable cause, your horse is out of condition, you should dose him with little medicine and much common sense.
The horse that allows himself to be caught lying down may be considered out of condition or lacking sufficient nutritious food. A quart of linseed meal divided into three feeds and added to his grain daily will do him much good and help a quick shedding of the coat. .
BLINDNESS .- Consult a skilled veteri- narian at once.
> Bors .- The bot-fly resembles a honey- bee in size, and in late summer deposits eggs of a yellowish color on the hair of the horse's breast, legs, etc. In try- ing to bite at these eggs, the animal gets some of them in his mouth and throat. The eggs soon hatch and the larvæ attach themselves eventually to the lining of the stomach, and are then . called "bots." They remain in the stom- ach until the following spring. Of course, the presence of these pests causes more or less irritation, but, as a rule, no serious harm is done in ordinary instances. Contrary to popular belief, bots do not eat holes through a horse's stomach. We do not know of any treat- ment that will remove bots. Prevention should be the horse owner's main re- liance. Kill the flies whenever pos- sible; hang pieces of red cloth from the halter throat-latch, so that the shaking of the head when a horse is in pasture may serve to frighten the flies away; and scrape off, from time to time, any eggs which are found on the horse.
BROKEN-WIND .- See Heaves.
CAPPED HOCK .- May be reduced in the same manner as Wind Galls (which see).
CHOKING .- Horses that choke thrust out their heads, bend and stretch the neck, while there is a copious flow of saliva from the mouth. In some cases
.
there is distention of the gullet on the left side of the neck, if it has descended so far. If it be in the upper part of the gullet a man accustomed to giving balls may be able to reach it with his hand. Obstructions that have got lower down may be moved upward gently from the outside. Sometimes an obstruction is soft and may be crushed small enough for the animal to swallow it. A mass of meal or other impacted food is some- times removed by frequent drinks of water, and a drench of olive or cotton seed oil can do no harm. The plan of reaching a whip or heavy piece of rope down the gullet to push the substance into the stomach is risky, in the hands of one not accustomed to the anatomy of the horse.
CHOKING DISTEMPER. - This disease prevails at times in many parts of the country. It is sometimes called spinal meningitis or putrid sore throat. The animal often falls down paralyzed, can- not arise, and if left prostrate is almost sure to die. He must be got upon his feet, and if he cannot stand must be swung. A majority of cases are fatal. It is caused by some specific poison taken into the system with food or drink, mostly the former. Dirty man- gers, rotting roots or meal, and mouldy hay, especially meadow hay, are usually the media by which the disease is ac- quired. The moral is to have every- thing sweet and clean that the animal eats and drinks, and have no decayed matter in the entry or in any other part of the barn. (See Distemper.)
COCKED ANKLE .- See Knuckling.
COFFIN-JOINT LAMENESS. - Same as Navicular Disease (which see).
'COLIC, SPASMODIC .- This . begins sud- denly. The horse stamps impatiently, looks backward, soon paws, and then rolls. After an interval of ease the pains return with increased severity. Give chloral hydrate, one ounce, in half a pint of water as a drench; or ether and laudanum, two ounces each, in lin- seed oil, half a pint; or sulphuric ether and alcohol, two ounces of each in eight ounces of water. If nothing else is handy, give of whiskey half a pint in hot water. If not relieved in one hour repeat any of the doses prescribed. The body should be warmly clothed and sweating encouraged. Dip blankets in hot water containing a small quantity

of turpentine, and hold them in place under the body with dry blankets, or rub the abdomen with stimulants or mustard water. If cramp is due to irri- tation in the bowels, a cure is not com- plete until a physic of aloes, one ounce; or linseed oil, one pint, is given. Soapy or salt water aids the cure when used as an injection.
COLIC, WIND .- Is caused by feeding after a long fasting, or when the animal is exhausted by driving, or by new grain or hay, too much grain fed, or by sour or indigestible food. The horse seems dull, paws, and the pains are continuous. The belly enlarges, and when struck in front of the haunches sounds like a drum. If not soon relieved, difficult breathing, sweating, staggering and death follow. Give alkalines to neutralize the gases formed. No simple remedy is better than common baking soda, two to four ounces. If this fails, give chloride of lime in half-ounce doses, or the same quantity of carbonate of am- monia dissolved and diluted with oil or milk, until relieved. Chloral hydrate is particularly useful in both wind and spasmodic colic. Horsemen would be wise to keep it ready for emergencies. Physic should be given in flatulent colic, and turpentine, one to two ounces, with linseed oil, eight ounces, frequently, to stimulate the motion of the bowels. Colic should not be neglected nor the patient left, until you are certain of cure or death.
COUGH .- If a horse coughs, dampen his hay, wet his mixed feed, keep him out of a draught; after exercise blanket him. (See Heaves.)
CRIBBING OR WIND-SUCKING .- This is a bad habit, rather than a disease. The horse bites his manger or other con- venient object, sucks air and makes a peculiar grunting noise. Prevention aids a cure. Iron mangers and stable fittings are a great help; or box stalls containing no projecting wooden objects. CURB .- A curved, unnatural condition of the back part of the hock. Lameness, enlargement and more or less inflam- mation are symptoms. Liniments, iodine ointment, blisters, and, as a last resort, firing, are all recommended.
DISTEMPER .- Keep hot poultices of bread and milk or oil meal on the neck of horses with throat distemper; change them often. In severe cases, rub the glands and muscles with spirits of tur- pentine and camphor. (See Choking Distemper.)
DYSENTERY .- If this trouble exists, place the horse in a dry, well-ventilated stable, rub the surface of the body fre- quently, and keep it and the legs warm with blankets and bandages. The food must be light and easy to digest~the water pure and in small quantities. Give first, castor oil, one-half pint, and laudanum, two ounces. The strength must be kept up by milk punches, eggs, beef tea, oatmeal gruel, etc.
EYE. - See Hooks, Pink-Eye and Blindness.
FARCY .- A form of glanders which at- tacks the skin. (See Glanders.)
FETLOCK .- If this be sprained and the injury slight, bandage and apply cold water frequently. Where the lameness is intense, and the swelling and heat great, the leg should be kept in a con- stant stream of cold water. When the inflammation has been subdued, the joint should be blistered. (See Knuckling.)
FITS .- See Staggers.
FOUNDER .- The front feet are usually affected, the delicate laminæe being in- flamed. Acute founder, if not cured, de- velops into chronic founder, and no sure cure is known for the latter stage of the disease. The trouble may come from any one of several causes: Long or hard driving, hard pavements or roads, feeding or watering a horse while he is exceedingly warm or tired, etc., etc. Lameness, pain and heat in the fore feet, are common symptoms. For an attack of this kind, the best things to do are about as follows: Get the shoes off, put the horse in his stall, and soak or pack his feet in cold water, moss, or whatever is handy; give a tablespoonful of saltpeter as a drench three times a day; send for a veterinarian.
GALLS .- See Shoulder and Wind Galls. GIDDINESS .- A horse which is fre- quently or occasionally overtaken with this trouble is dangerous to use. It is hard to cure. It indicates the need of moderate driving, especially in hot weather, and that a small amount of hay should be fed.
GLANDERS .- Whenever a horse is seen to bleed or emit offensive matter from the nostrils, glanders may be suspected and home treatment should not be at- tempted. It may be a dangerous case, which is fatal alike to man and beast. A veterinary surgeon should be called.
GORGED STOMACH .- This results when a horse has been fed after a long fast. The small stomach of a horse is so dis-

tended that it is unable to contract itself upon its contents, a motion which is necessary in digestion. The horse be- comes stupid, slight colicky symptoms are observed, and he carries his head low and extended. As he grows worse he paws, becomes delirious, is covered with cold sweat, trembles, slobbers, stag- gers and drops dead. Treatment is dif- ficult. A purgative of Barbadoes aloes, one ounce, should be given at once, fol- lowed by Cayenne pepper, one-half ounce, or Jamaica ginger, one-half ounce. If the bowels can be stimu- lated to act, they will in a measure re- lieve the stomach. For this purpose, use turpentine, two ounces, and linseed oil, eight ounces.
GREASE HEEL .- See Scratches.
HEAVES .- A peculiar movement of the abdomen and flank, points to heaves; a cough usually accompanies it. There is no cure for the established disease. Careful dieting will relieve the distress, but this will appear as bad as ever when the stomach is overloaded. The best quality of food lessens heaves. Food that is too bulky and which lacks nutri- ment, has much to do with the disease. Feed affected animals only a small quantity of hay once a day, and in- variably water at least fifteen minutes before feeding, and never directly after meal. Work right after eating aggra- vates the symptoms. Carrots, potatoes or turnips, chopped or mixed with oats or corn, are a good diet. What bulky food is given should be in the evening. Medical treatment is worth less than dieting. A predisposition to the disease may be inherited.
