We propose briefly to mention a few of
the most common diseases of farm stock,
and the causes, hoping by this means to
enable our agricultural readers to guard
against them, as preventiges are always
preferable to cures.
GREASE, OR SCRATCHES.
Horses that have been driven much
during the winter through the snow and
mud, and after being brought into the
stable have not had their legs rubbed
clean and dry, are very likely to be at
tackled by this disease, which shows itself
about the lower part of the hind legs,
seldom attacking the front. The usual
inclination of the stall floor is from the
front to the rear, thereby enabling all the
filth to reach the hind legs, where it is fire.
quently allowed to remain in the most
favorable position to assist the growth and
spread of this disease. Horses that are
turned out in the yard in the winter to
have little exercise usually come into
the stable with their legs wet or covered
with ice and mud, which, If not removed,
become a fruitful source of scratches, a
disease not particularly dangerous in its
character, but disgrace to the owner or
the one who has the animal in charge.
MALLENDERs AND SALLENDERS.
The difference between these two dis
eases is more technical than real. NAL
lenders is a scurvy patch on the back of
the knee, while sallenders is a similar
patch in front of the hook. Both are
caused by neglect in keeping the animals
legs clean, and although not dangerous at
first they may become troublesome sores
through neglect.

during winter are very likely to have
ease, when it shows itself in the front
feet, is of internal origin; but when in
the hind feet the cause may be attributed
to filth. Cleanliness will prevent it; but
more powerful remedies are necessary for
a cure.
CRACKED HEELS,
caused BY keeping the hair cut clean
from the animals heels, and then not
properly rubbing the legs dry when he is
brought in from work. The legs of
horse certainly look more trim with the
long hairs cut off; but these were in
tended for a protection against dirt and
cold and if we remove them a CORE
snonding amount of care is necessary to
remedy the evil,
cause general debility and are caused by
want Of good, nutritious food. All species
Of intestinal worms are parasitic, attack
ing feeble or diseased animals, whether
old ar Young. Tape worms are said to
he inimical to colts which are the off
spring of old, worn-out mares. Farmers
who use such animals for breeding prr-
noses make a great mistake if they prac-
tice it for the sake of economy.
DISEASES OF COWS.
! A COW doctor of our acquaintance, who
has had an experience Of nearly forty
wears, says: Early spring is my harvest,
and I get little tine to rest either night or
day." We asked him why, and he re-
piled: "Want of plenty of nutritious food
and shelter from cold gives me nine-tenths
of my practice" Il COWS were furnished
bles in winter the cow doctor would have
little to do in spring. AS proof of this as
sertion we have only to notice how quick

Narrow Stable Doors.

A MAN who will habitually take horse
through a narrow door knows very little
of what a horse remembers, or what IS
fair treatment to the animal. One single
blow on the hip against the sharp corner
of doorway is sometimes sufficient to
ruin a valuable horse. But when that
blow has been several times repeated the
horse becomes a highly dangerous animal.
We have seen a horse whose hips were
never healed after striking two or three
times in passing through narrow way.
Another dangerous practice is the Leading
of horses out of the barn doors by the
sides ofloads of hay, grain, etc. A slight
blow upon the hip will sometimes so
excite a high-spirited horse that the per
son leading loses control over him, and
he escapes upon jump, banging his hips
and shoulders as he proceeds, leaving
patches OF skin and hair as evidence that
he has got through. Many valuable
horse has been ruined in this way, and
many a valuable one can be saved by
never leading him through narrow
space.-Nelo England Farmer.

ly diseases disappear after the grass starts
and the animals are turned out to pasture.
HOrn-ail, hollow-tail and many similar
imaginary diseases so much talked about
during the latter part of winter or early
spring are mainly the result OF constlpa-
ton, caused by feeding exclusively dry,
coarse food, and exposure to cold storms.
Reverse the order of treatment and these
diseases would disappear from the farm
er'S stables in winter as quickly as they
90 from his pastures in summer. Catarrh,
inflammation of the lungs, and similar
diseases all have their origin in exposure
TO cold or wet. Mango is brought on by
halt-starving in winter and keeping the
ANIMALS III filthy, ill-ventilated stables. Ii
becomes contagious, and frequently
spreads among healthy animals. Ointment,
composed mainly of sulphur, Is the most
e1ectuaI remedy. Lice, of course, show
neglect as no healthy, we!l-fed and we'll
housed animal is ever troubled with these
parasites. Grubs in the skin or back are
the Larvae OF the gad-t1y, the eggs being
deposited the previous season, While the
animal was out in pasture. When found,
they should be removed by merely pune
turing the skin with sharp pointed knife
ana then slight squeeze will throw them
out.
We might continue this list to almost an
Unlimited extent, and show that the dis
e1ses OF swine and sheep are mainly
caused by neglect, either in food or shell
ter. Swine seldom become diseased if al
lowed plenty of room and given clean
pens and wholesome food. There is never
foot-rot or scab among sheep running in
high, dry pastures, or in warm, sheltered
yards IN winter, with plenty of clean
straw to walk upon in the day and sleep
on at night. If every farmer would be a
little more thoughtful as we'll as careful
in these matters there need be no loss, or
comparatively little, among farm stock
from diseases of any kind. A glance at
the stables and yards of our best and most
thorough farmers shows the truth of this
| assertiOn.-N. Y San.

Planting Roses.

EVERY suburban and country residence
should have plenty of roses. However
small the place, or unpretending the
house, the hardy June and climbing roses
should at least find place; for, once
planted, they require but comparatively
little attention thereafter. All that is
necessary is to give good cultivation and
careful pruning.
One of the great mistakes in rose cUl-
ture is to suppose that they will be at
home in any situation. Roses do not do
well in hot, arid, or in wet soils, or in
situations where the radiation is excess
i've. They like q strong, well-drained,
rich clay loan best of all, and this, where
it does not naturally exist, is easily pro
vided, at least so far as their immediate
wants are concerned; hole the size Of a
bushel basket filed with the proper soil
being ample.
When climbing roses are planted for
running over q porch or building, the
effects of radiation may be Cbviated by
mulching the surface for three or four
years or until She plants become fully es-
tablished. It is also well to give winter
protection, since transplanted perennlals
of any kind are more liable to winter
kill before they are we'll established than
after.
In transplanting roses, or, indeed, any
plants, care should be taken that the roots
do not become dry after being unpacked.
Plant in spring, as early as the soil IS IN
cultivation; alw avs before the buds start
When you order the plants from the
nursery prepare your ground immediate
Iy, so that when the plants come no time
may be lost. If the soil is poor use
manure literally, if it be thoroughly de-
composed None other is advisable; com
post is still better If such is not at
hand get sods and loan from the fence
corners, placing them deeply under where
the roses are to stand. A brshel to each
plant, chopped fine, upon which is laid
good fine soil or compost, will keep your
plants growing admirably. Ii the ground
be dry, they should be watered thorough
ly when set and well mulched on the sur
face; you will then have but little trouble
in getting satisfactory returns Tor the
labor bestowed.
One great mistake, however, with be-
ginners, in planting all trees and shrubs,
is that they leave the soil too loose IN the
holes and fail to pack it well about the
roots This should be carefully attended
to. 1t is one of the most prol1hc sources
of failure. The soil should be left so firm
that it will settle but slightly after the
transplanting is Observation-Disclosures R'I1a5.

THE RUBY AND THE ROSE.

HE was the Lord of Merlintower,
And [ was but of low degree;
She had her beauty for her dover,
No other treasure needed she;
He came when haWthOrns were a-fiOWer,
And strove 10 steal my love from me.
Obi she was sweeter than the wind
That bloweth over Indian isles;
As April bright, than June more kind
Fawn-wild, and full OF winsome wiles
And L, alas had learnt to find
My only life beneath her smiles.
He sent my love a ruby rare,
That might have graced imperial brows.
No gem had [. To deck her hair
sent her-but simple rose
And prayed her, on night. to wear
The gift of him whose owe she chose.
s'Come, queen Of all my hearts desirel
Crown me or slayl My soul is stirred
TO challenge fate. My pulses tire
Of fears chill tremor Sings the bird
OF hope for him who dares aspire?"

We watched her coming, he and 1,
With utter dread my heart stood still.
The moons wan crescent waned on high,
The nightingale had sung his fill,
In the dim distance seemed to die
The echo Of his latest trill.
The fower-traiIed gate, our tryst of old,
Cleaned Whitley meath the clustering bloom
OF the dusk-starring jasmine. Cold
His shadow fell, 9 ghostly gloom
Lurked where it lay. Oh, heart DER boldI

That all my hope to anguish froze;
Then in the silence of the place,

There nestled warm ripe-red rosel

Congressional Speeches With the Laugh

HENCEFORTH the words Slaughter"
" applause" sensation" and other par
enthetical remarks indicative of the hila-
rious or appreciative demonstrations of
the House are to be omitted from the of
fetal report of the debates, which will
now be drier reading than ever. The in
telligent constituent while perusing the
dreary efforts of his member to be witty,
will have to judge for himself where the
laugh came in, and will be thrown back
upon his Unaided imagination for pic
ture of the applause which greeted the
flights of eloquence. This important de-
cision was made today at the instance of
George F. Hoar, who asked by what rule
or authority the words in question were
put in. The Speaker said there was no rule
for it, and that, as the words only put on
record the fact that the members had VIC
lated the rules which forbade applause or
other demonstrations, they had better be
omitted, and he would direct the report
ers to cease putting them in.-Wasksnq-

IFyou want comfortable bed here is
the unfailing recipe: Firstly, very good
springs; secondly, a thick hair mattress
over them; thirdly, a thick wool mattress
over that Both mattresses should be re-
made every two years. Who loves not
the ease and comfort from a good bed?
Why not have less show out OF doors and
more comfort? Some people have all
their pleasure in dress, show, glitter,
pincnback, shoddyism.
