Hollow HoRN-A correspondent
of the New York Tribune says inre-

Some of the most cruel acts ever per-
petrated by man have been the cut
ting and soaring of sick animals, and
dosing, them with horrid and hellish
medicines, And yet the old school
doctors used to treat their huma
patients in the same way. 1t is likely
that's thousand animals have been
killed by doctoring where one has
been cured, and then it probably lived
in spite of the medicine. Please try
hay. corn oats, ,.and curry combs-and
don't forget clean warm stables and

HORSES FEET REQUIRE MoIsTU RE.
! Nine -tenths of the diseases which
happen to the hoofs and ankles of the
horse are occasioned by standing on
the dry, plank, floors of the stable
Many persons seem to think, from
the way they keep their horses that
the foot of the horse was never made
for moisture, and that if possible it
would be beneficial if. they had cow
hide boots to put on every time they
went outa Nature designed the foot
for, moist ground-the earth of tine
woods and valleys, at the same time
that a covering was given to protect it
from stones and stumps. .-OhiO

MULEs-In regard to the value of
mules on farm, compared with
horses, the american Agrtculturist
thus sensibly discourseth: "The mule
will do more work and require less
grain than a horse; he is less liable to
disease, and RECEIVERS from sickness
and injury quicker than horse. He
works better when old, and holds out
longer He seldom takes fright or
runs away He does not like over
urging when drawing heavy loads,
and he should never be driven fast.
In making up spans Chose of fifteen
to fifteen and half hands high make
most stserviceable teams, } those of simi-
lar disposition should be chosen aud
put together, so that they will work
together pleasantly and with a will.
The mule seems made for work, he
thrives under it, and is better in
spirits and temper than when idle"
