When a harness or yoke of bows do
not fit properly, and the skin is liable
to be CALLED, battle those parts before
they are CALLED, with cold water, until
the outside skin appears quite soft, and
then battle those parts with strong
decoction of white oak bark. Let this
be done every day, and the skin will
become much harder and tougher than
it usually is. A little care in prevent

How to Test the Eyes of a Horse.


To test q horses eyes, look at the
eye carefully, when the horse Is IN
rather a dark stable Note the size
and shape of the pupil, carry this care
fully in your mind while you turn the
horse about to a strong light. Ii the
pupil contracts and appears much
smaller than in the first instance, you
NAV infer that the horse has a good,
strong eve; 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.

ing Chickens are very often seen IN
the poultry yard dropping and moping
about, and finally die before any atten-
ton is paid to them; and then breeders
are profuse in their queries as to what
ails their fowls. One reason Is that the
chickens are either too highly fed or
become lousy In the former case the
food should be chopped eggs, bread
and milk, scraps from the table chop
ped fine, and let them have plenty OF
fresh mold and road sand or gravel. In
the latter case, put some wormwood IN
their water and grease the head thor
oughly with lard or fresh butter LII
our youthful days the first thing we did
after the chicken was out of the shell
was to saturate it's head well with fresl
butter. This precaution, in our opin
ion, has saved us many brood.
