Called Horses shoulders.

There are few thing, more painful
to look at than poor horse wincing
and baking at every root which comes
against the plough, while the plough
man is slashihg him with the line.
and goading him into a passion, for
his restiveness under the to ture of a
sore shoulder.
In using new collar it is best al
ways to wet it thoroughly efore you
put it on the animal. A few hours
use will give it a set to he peculiar
formation of the shoulder, winch it
will always keep. The same collar
should always be used for the same
horse. There is no worse practice
than shifting gear upon a plantation.
Every horse should have his own
gear, and it should never be used for
another, and every laborer should be
held responsible for its condition.
We prefer the common bark or shuck
collar to any other kind. If the
shoulder should become CALLED, apad
of cotton may be put on so as tokeep
the pressure off the sore. A little
meats foot oil applied every day will
heal it up. It is best, however, when
the first appearance of a bruise is
noted, to apply spirits o. turpentine.
But it is better still to prevent such
mischief. We always keep at the
stable bottle Of vinegar, with few
spoonsful of alum dissolved in it, and
require the shoulders to be washed
with it when the horse comes in at
noon and night 1f it be inconveni-
ent to use this solution a strong de
coction of oak bark will answer a
very good purpose This astringent
preparation tougkens the shoulder

Kicked by a Mule.

| n
Jake johnson had q, mule. There
was nothing remarkable in the mere
fact of his icing thspossessor ofsueh
an animal, hat,there was something
peculiar about the mule. He-the
animal-could. kick higher, hit har-
Eder, on the slightest provocation. and
| act uglier than, any mule on record.
One morning riding his property
ito market, Jake metrJim Boggs against
whom he hadyan old. but concealed
grudge. He knew Boggs, weakness
lay in Dragging and betting; there
fore he saluted him accordingly.
" How are'you. Jim Fine morn
ing?" % i'@ :.
"Fine weather. Nice mule that you
have, wfIllhe do to bet-on ?"
81 Bet on? Guess he will, that. l
tell you Jim Beggs, he's the best
mule in this country, Paid $500 for
him"
Great smash ! is that So" ejacu-
lated Jim.
"solid truth, every word of it.
Tell you confdentially, Jim, I'm tax
ing him down for betting purposes.
1 bet he can kick a fly off from any
man without hurting him" g.
Now look here, sqnire says
Jim, II am not-a, betting character,
but III ;, bet you something sons rlst that
myself" y 22s-a3f#
Z" jim, there's no usss asf tbst,ssI

Don't Be alarmed, squire. Ial
take such bets as them reyerys time, =
"Well, il youare determined to bet,

dollars. "
All right; squire, you re my man.

g No." says johnson; Il have to
be bs the mule head to order him. y
= OF yes, says Jim. "Then prob
ably I'm the man. Wa'all, I'll do
it; but YOU are to bet ten to five if I
risk it. sa.j,. 80.
6 All right" quoth the squire.
Now there is fly on your shoulder.
Stand still" And johnson adjusted
the mule.
" Whilst Jervey," said he.
The mule raised his heels with such
force that Boggs rose in the air like q
bird, and alighted on all,fonrs ina
muddy ditch, bang up against a rail
fence. z,.-,yr &
Rising, in a towering rage, he ex-
claimed: "Yaas, that 1is smart I
knew your darned mule could'n do
it. You had that all put up. I
wouldn't be kicked ike that for fifty
dollars. You car jdstfork over them
stakes for it any way -,ii9t
: Not SO fast Jim, ); ,Jervey did Just
what said he could ;; that is, kick a
fly off a man without its hurting him.
You see the mule is not injured BY
the operation. However, if you are
not satisfied. we will try it again, ,aa
often as you wish.
ID The deuce take you.'" growled
