provement as she, too, showed horns
instead of affection and protection
ignoring by her acts all relationship

and winter need separate range.
where they can be cared for and be
safe from the assaults of grown up
stock. This extra care will be amply |
repaid by the more rapid development
resulting from it. The separation is
humane one, and should not be neg

to make his business a paying one.
Corn AND HoGs.-The Asheville,
n. c., News administers sharp re-
buke to the farmers of North Carolina
for their miSmanagement In their
farming operations. 1t charges them
with going to Tennessee and Ken
lucky for their pork, and paying ten
cents a pound gross for it, and foot
ing the bill by selling corn at fifty
cents bushel-at least fifteen cents
less than it cost to raise it. This is
pronounced suicidal policy, one which
has prevailed so long that the country
is becoming rapidly impoverished by
it. These farmers are urged to turn
over new leaf-to discard the spike
nosed native breed of hogs, and to
import Chester Whites, and thus in
augurate a new era in corn raising
and making pork. By producing their
own hogs and fattening them they
will save the cost of importing their
pork and exporting their corn In pay
ment produce considerable quanti-
ty of valuable fertilizing material for
the renovation of their exhausted
lands, and gain nearl y one hundred
per cent. in selling their surplus pork,
instead Of corn, as they have been in
the habit of doing for a series of
years. The recommendations of the
News are sound, timely, and must be
adopted before the farmers upon
whom they are urged, can make their
/ labOrS remunerative.
HEAvEs IN H0RsEs.-In the Mod
ern Horse Doctor" by Dadd, the d.
rect causes of heaves, or broken-wind,
are imputed TO over exertiOn and indi-
gestion. If the general health of the
animal can be improved, mitigation
of the particular ailment will result,
and, possibly, in some cases, a cure.
The first point to be obtained Is res
toration Of the digestive functions,
and Tor this purpose aromatic tonics
are given, professionally denouinated
"tincture OF aromatic sui phuric acid, "
drachm, III pint OF water, night and
morning. At the same time the horse
Is subject to a course of Alternative
medicines, compounded of powdered
ginger, gentian, sui phur, salt, cream OF
tartar, charcoal, licOrice, elacampaine,
caraway seeds and balm OF Gilead
buds, chopped fne-equaI parts of
each. Mix with the food one ounce
OF this compound every night. While
under the influence OF this preparation
severe exercise or hard and protract-
ed labor should be avoided out this
does not necessarily imply totai mac
ton. As Improvement in condition
manifests itself. the aromatic tincture
may he given more sparingly and soon
be omitted entirely, and the Alternative
medicine be diminished half, restrict
ing it to hall an ounce. night and
morning. Water from bucket reg
ularly three times each day, and if a
gormandizer of food, muzzle the ami
NAL, except at regular feeding times.
A slight Infusion of garlic into the
food, chopped fine, daily, is reputed tc
produce paying results. An entire
cure OF a Iuliy pronounced case of
heavcs is not readily accomplished
by any mode Of treatment-if, indeed
) such a case be curable at all.
