DOMESTIC ECONOMY. TOPICS OF INTEREST TO FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE. Treatment of the Farm Horse at WorkExperiments with Mixed Grasses—Advantages of the Small l arm- Plant Peach Trees. The Farm Horse at Wcrk. After a season of comparative idleness during the winter, the farm horse should be bro :ght gradually into full work in the spring. Do not put the horses at a ha d day’s plowing at tlrst, but rather let them do lighter work tor the first few days. Their shoulders will need wat*hiug, to see that the < oilars tit well, that they do not gall. Loose collars are the most ire .uent e use of sore shoulders Spouge the shoulders night and morning with a strong decoction o. white oak hark until they get hardened. Many tanners thint it too mm h trouble to remove the collar at noon, but 1 think it would ( well repay the trouble in added com- i I fort to the horse. It is Ike taking off your hat when you come in at no n. tired and heated by your work. Removing the collars at n> n while the horses are eating gives the shoe • dersa rham eto become cool. When a gall does come, bathe it at leist three times a day with cold water.

The sale- from the farm during the year had been $»oo in excess of the purchases for supplies and the payment for labor, liesides this, there was every evidence that the family hail lived well, had enjoyed all seasonable comforts and had not been overworked.
