CHARCOAL FOR HoRsEs' WIND
Many gears ago, | reccollect a
horse being brought into the yard
of Joseph Bignal, celebrated man
for keeping hunters, at Croydon.
The horse was very much affect
ed in the wind, and could hardl y
move from distress. Ia a very few
days this animal did its regular
work as a hunter, with perfect
ease and comfort to itself. Tar
water was the cure. Tar is car
bon, and charcoal is also carbon ;
charcoal in the powder is more
easily given than tar water. |
have tried il with most beneficial
effect; aud | think it stands to
reason that the removal of nOxious
gasses and fatulence from the
stomach of the horse must improve
his wird and condition. Tar is
frequently given with benefit 10
cases of chronic disease of the res
piratory organs but Its effects are
totally different from those pro-
duced by charcoal (carbon) -

The importance OF properly
feeding salt to cattle to promote
health, and thereby guard against
disease, is net sufficiently appreci-
ated. l have ever been IN the

with the following exception, viz,
when they first go to pasture in
the spring and the first part ofsum-
mer they want it oftener, and will
let me know it by going TO the

give them salt twice a week ; but
as their bowels are loose from eat
ing fresh grass. | give a smaller
quantity. Dmiag the last forty
years, or more, / have kept cows
and horses through seasons when
black-tongue, boof-ail and other
diseases prevailed throughout my
neighborhood, at which time Ire
commenced giving salt twice a
week, as | have during the preva-

ton; | bought a cow two and a

Of the late cow disease, and kept
close watch of my cows, the cow

The Reste1H Stock Journal says
the very best food for mich COWS
is wheat bran. Nothing has so
great a tendency to increase the
flow of milk, and as it abounds In
phosphates, it is a highly nutri-
tious and healthful diet. Give the
cows all they willeat of it, and if
convenient mix a little corn meal
with it. Don't over feed. But
give just what they win lick up
with a relish, and you will be re-
warded with an abundant supply
of milk, and your cows will keep
in good condition.

DRIED EGGs.-The eggs must be
beaten to 4 uniform consistency
and poured in thin layers upon
polished iron plates, which are
placed in a current OF hot air; the
paste rapidly dries. and must be
packed in Dramatically sealed ca
ses. When required for use the
dried egg can be dissolved in cold
water and beaten to a foam like
fresh eggs. 1t is said that eggs
can be preserved for years in this
way, and that they retain their

Washing sheep.

IT is q question upon which all do not
agree, whether it is best to wash wool or
put 1t into market unwashed. We believe
infthe Vest and Northwest the predomi-
mating opinion is IN favor of washing.
The strongest argument in support OF
this conclusion-is the cost of transporting
the additional weight to market-for.
whether the farmer ships his clip to a
commission house, o. sells it at home, the
cost of freight is counted against him.
The best remedy for this will be foun in
encouraging the manufacturers to erect
their factories in wool growing localities.
Then freights upon both wool and cloth
viii be saved. Another help to the con-
clusion to wash wool has been found IN
the arbitrary rule or practice of b ma
jority of buyers They win pay more for
washed wool, ever though ithas run long
enough after washing to become nearly
as heavy as before. With those who feel
it is their interest + wash, the question
is, how a we do it best, all things con-
sidered2 - -
Where the necessary facilities can be
had, we recommend swimming, as SAVING
much labor to both men and sheep, and
doing the work quicker and better thar
by any other method. A running stream
should be selected, and a point founC
where the bottom and banks are NO
muddy. Sheep should be put across a
many as three times, with An interval o
about half an hour of sunshine between
crossings. If in clean water and dec
enough to keep clear, sheep can be WasheC

common among flock masters. We hav1
