previous to their going out in snowy
weather. This will ef1ectually prevent
balls of snow from collecting on the
foot, which will sometimes cause the
animal TO fall, and if not, make bis
progress doubly toilsome.
For gals OH horses backs or necks
one of the most effective remedies
known is an application of white lead
moistened with milk. When milk is
not at hand, common white lead paint
will answer. If applied in the early
stages of the injury, the cure is GER

To cure scratches in horses-wasll
with strong soap suds,. then with
strong copperas water. Repeat twice
a day until cure is effected.
To test a horses eyes, look at the
eye carefully when the horse is in
rather dark stable. Note shape and
size of the pupil, carry this carefully
in your mind, whi,e you turn the
horse about 70 a strong light. If the
pupil contracts and appears much
smaller than in the first instance, you
may infer that the horse has good,
strong eye; but if the pupil remains
nearly of the same size in both cases,
his eyes are weak, and you had better
have nothing to do with him.
An excellent liniment for wounds,
bruises, sprains and swelling may be
made as follows A pint OF good
vinegar, pint of soft SOAP, a handful
of salt and tablespoonful of salt
petre. Mix thoroughly and bottle for
use. This is very efficacious, and is

Long, long years passed away. The

The old woman with the scarlet belt

Management Of BrO0ms.

If brooms are wet in boiling suds
once a week, they will bScome very
tough, will not cut the carpet, last
much longer and always sweep like a
new broom. A very dusty carpet
may be cleaned by setting pail OF
cold water out by the door, wet the
broom i'm it, knock it to get off all the
drops, sweep yard or SO, then wash
the broom as before and sweep again,
being careful to shake all the drops
off the broom, and not sweep far at a
time. If done with care it will clean
a carpet very nicely and You will be
surprised &C the quantity of dirt in the
water. The water may need change
once, twice or thrice, if the carpet
is very dusty. Snow sprinkled over
a carpet and swept off before it has
time to melt and dissolve, is also nice
for renovating soiled carpet. Mois-
tened Indian meal is used with good
effect by some hOusekeeperS.
