Trouble spots?
Treat them with
ABSORBINE
at the first sign!
For over 70 years, Absorbine lias proved
effective in the relief of bog spavin,
windgall, ringbone, sores and bruises.
At the slightest sign, use Absorbine
promptly!
Full strength: Apply
right on strained
tendons or any troubled
areas. It draws out
soreness. Never any loss
of hair or blistering.
And it’s antiseptic, too.
No other liniment has
Absorbine’s combina­
tion of fungicidal
properties.
HORSES ARE VALUABLE —
Aside from the fact that thousands
of men and women in all parts of
the country depend upon the breed­
ing and training of show horses as
a partial or total means of liveli­
hood, horses are a valuable econo­
mic commodity.
There are about 12,500,000 horses
and mules in America, and vastly
more of this number are horses
than are mules. This census is suf­
ficient to cultivate and care for
325,000,000 acres of land that pro­
duce food or are in crop acreage.
We have to have food to subsist.
We have to have horses to have
food.
Horses today stand ready to take
up the burden and help solve the
transportation problem. No man
can now say just how acute the
need of the horse in this vital fac­
tor of our country’s life will be­
come. They are now aiding in city
delivery service and will probably
be called upon for a larger degree
of help in the months to come.

Body Wash: Leading trainers ad­
vise a daily Absorbine wash as ex­
cellent protection against lameness.
Regular use helps horses cool out
and stay supple.
Buy Absorbine in the long-lasting,
12-ounce bottle or in the economi­
cal horseman’s gallon size. Avail­
able wherever veterinary supplies
are sold.

been stopped twenty or thirty
years ago we would not today have
12,500,000 horses and mules. And
the crop, as it were, that we should
now have would indeed be a sorry
lot as compared with our present-
day individuals.
Horse shows stimulate interest
in breeding. Horse shows furnish
a field of competition. It’s the old,
old story that “what’s mine is bet­
ter than yours.” They try to prove
it in show arenas. Competition,
wholesome and clean competition,
is always a healthy stimulus to
progress in any field of endeavor.
America came to be great just that
way — a man free to use his brain
and his talent to produce some­
thing better than his fellows.
Surprising isn’t it! Change a few
dates and references to the war and
you could almost say that the same
holds true today. The horse show is
indeed a wholesome recreational acti­
vity and assuming that we maintain
clean competition in the show ring we
can all benefit from all horse show
activity.

ton will be competing this year
in the Lead Line classes on her
miniature black pony.
The Haines children, Judy and
Jenny will be making a fine show
this year on their horses. Judy, hav­
ing shown last year, had a very
successful season winning a num­
ber of ribbons on her striking bay
mare. Jenny and her new roan
mare will make a handsome pair
when they make their showing de­
but this season.
The Stable will officially open
during the month of August and
the Barringtons and Haines ex­
tend everyone a cordial invitation
to come and visit with them.
