A Few Hints About Horses. Give horses alt frequently.

Road hordes should have their front feet

stuffed with flaxseed twice a week.

When light shoe are needed, particularly

hind one, have them made 01 cast-steei.

Don't hook your horse to the sleigh the eanie as to your wagju, but give him more

Rptnrnic2 from an afternoon drive, let

hr.rs,e cool off before entering the

table.

TIrraes wearing boots should have them

loosened while under the bhed at the road

If your horse should pull on one line or

throw his bead up ana down ana hjtiu ano tull on the b:t Lave hla mouth and teeth

examined.

The hand-pieces of driving reins frequently

rtonnm smooth from us?, Causing the han-H

to shift. In euch caiea rub the lines with

powdered rosin.

If yon wish to drive your horse with an rmen bridle have him tried with one before

nuttine him to vmic. top wago:;, otherwise

he might get away with you.

When horses overreach lengthen the hind shoes: when" thev hit the front of the hii.d

feet have the te of the front shoes made

narrow and coocsved on the inside.

Some horses when trotting in putting

their bind feet to the ground strike orinci

pally on the toe. S ich horses should have their heels lowered, and thould wear shoes

without heels.

Skunk cabbage is said to he pood for

heaves in teaspoonfal doses night and

moraine. Moisten the ha? and grain. Be

careful with the diet. Never work a heavy

horse on a full stomach.

Stfel bits should be kept in a warm place until they are placed in the horse's mouth.

An? person can realize the sensation of

placing a cold bit in the horsa's mouth by

fam touching it with his own tongue.

An excellent remedy for mange is: Oil of tnrnentine. one Dint: add cautiously two

ounces of vitriol, stirring the mixture con

tantly; then aJJeiht ounces linseed oil;

to be rubbed in with a brush twice a day.

If jourdouble team did not work co suit tou to-day. one crodin to tne pole while

the n.her would pull his head to one side.

see that the reins are right, and in hooking them to your wagon to-morrow put the off

bone on the near side.

Tar is on5 of the most useful articles to be

kept about a stable. Internally use a tea

spoonful night and morning for chronic

coughs: externallv it is particularly useful

in thrush and all diseases ur wounds of the

foot. Mixed with fish oil it is one of the

best, remedies lor hard or brittle feet.

When heels and toes are required on a horse's shoes, instead cf having the shoe turned down for heels, have the heel and

toes of cast-steel and welded on. The heel

should be put on a half an inch from end of

shoe and placed length wite.

For a horse that 'pulls" use the over

check with ttrap at ached over the nose and

under the lower iw. or an extra hard

mouthed hur.-e n..e a four-rirgd bit. Have

a slide-loop on i he front of the over-check.

so that it can be moved up and down, a

may be rronired; then have the cheek

piece and over-check attached to loose rirgs

and the driving lines alone to the large rings.

Influenza is one of the most prevalent

diseases at this time of the year. The first

stage of the dien-e is generally mild and

will readily yield to careful, nutritious

diet, such a warm mashes, oatmeal gruel,

suitable clothirg and proper ventilation. If

the respiration is troubled and the extrem

ities cold, pi re a fdative medicine, rub the

legs with dry inutard, bandage with flan

eel, and send for an expert.

Guinea grass, known as "Means grass" and

"John-sou grass," la reported lobe growing

familiar with its value as a hay grsa. Like Bermuda, it is said to be perennial, though

the tops are killed by severe frosts. The

root being perennial the cost of renewal of the feed is saved, while the land is continually improved by their occupancy of

the soil. Dr. Johnson, of Indiana, fays: "In dairy products we in tbe West, with our method of using five acres of high priced land to keep one dairy animal a year, can not 'impete with the intensified farmingof the East, where they kerp one animal a year on one acre of land, aud that, too, of a natural fertility much inferior to ours, and, more than that, wh-re by means of silos and ensilage now they ard keeping two animal, to a sinele acre." In contract with the common practice of letting dairy cows go dry four months ot so every year, a recent writer sas that he has a cow that has completed her fourth farrow year, and has averaged during the past six months a fraction over five ounds of butter per week of first-rate quality. He cUes alo the case of a cow in Betkshir. , England, which ten years ago dropped twins, and has given a good mess of milk daily ever since. In Ireland the sod cut on boggy groand is piled up in heaps until dry, then burned into a species of ctarcoal. This is then pulverixd and mixed with well-rot'ed staMo or hen house manure or night soil in eq ial proportions. Placed in drills where Mrnips or carrots are to be planted, it is said to make them attain a monstrous size. The experiment is worthy of a tri 1 by farmers who an get tbe beg moli without too much labor or expense. The only psying sugar-beet manufactory in the country now is in California. It has done a paying business for three years, and shows no signs cf giving out. Last year, ending with May, it made 1.301.000 pounds of rerined suear and 24,000 pounds of crude, besides 111,775 gallons ot molasses. Tbe average orice paid for beets at the factory was $1.23 per ton, a price for which Eastern farmers think they can not aflord to deliver this crop. The prob'em of beei-sugar jro

diKtion woold seem to be cheaper beets, or, In ütker words, better farming. Tbe stock raieersof California estimate the aggregate value of their flecks and herds at $5 000 000. The nnmber of horses and cattle is placed at 2 250.0C0. Vick says that gladiob3 bulbe may be kept over winter in sand In the cellar, or wherever they will not freex.

In the cattle department of the Chicago

M. Birrel, of the National Agricultural

Society of France, anticipa'es that within

thirty years as great a revolution will have

been enected by eltc'.ricity as nas been el-

tected by steam in the last thirty. Among

ues to which it has already been put for agricultural purpo-es he mentioned Defoy's

curb bit for breaking horses, tbe electric

saw, which cuts up whole trunks of trees into planks; the other a vertical saw, which

does the finest kind of work. Elec ricity is also employed ucce sfully for artificial incubation, and also for "trying" eggs.

Colonel F. D. Curtia writes that the White Belgian carrots yield twice as much as the Loi.g Orange, and he regsrds them aa eoually nutricioua. This is doubtful, as in

numerous experiments larger roots of the same variety contain proportionately less sugar and nutriment than small ones. The White Belgian carrot is not salable in the market, while the Long Orange will nearly every j ear sell for more than its feeding value, except to be used as an appetizer. When carrots can be sold by the wagon load at forty to fifty cents per bushel and retail at thirt-six cents per half bushel the price goes far beyond their feeding value. At these prices no crop can be more profitably grown near a good market, Tbe composition of cow's milk is affected by various circumstances; under extreme conditions it may contain from 10 to 1G per cent, of dry matter. The milk is poorer when the quantity produced is lirtre or the diet immtficient, atid richer when thee conditions is reversed. A cow is gen erally in full milk from the second todhe seventh week after calving; after this period the milk gradually diminishes in quantity, but increases in richness. A separation of cream takes place in tbe udder: the milk first drawn is poor in fat, the lichness increasing as milking proceeds, the last drawn milk containing two or three times aa much fat as the first drawn. The milk of old cows is commonly poorer than that of young cows. American Cultivator. Many a person deplores Inability to own a little greenhouse, even one which requires

This being the case, tha saving would be 50 per cent., after allowing live cents per basbel for boiling the potatoes, while the advantages ot cooked food in a sanitary point are very great.
