Wind Sucking.

Wind sucking, stump sucking and crib
biting are all one and the same habit, and,
in some instances, are the manifestations
of disease; in others, the habit may have
been acquired from old aud confirmed crib
biters. Some veterinarians attribute it to
a distortion of the teeth which have be-
come worn away on their interior edge so
as to show more or less Of the yellow in
stead of the enamel. Professor Law says:
i'These worn teeth are associated with the
serious vice of wind sucking (swallowing)
and ernstication, which leads to tympany,
digestive disorder and rapid loss of con-
ditiOn. The horse seizes the manager or
other solid object with his teeth, arches
and shortens the neck and makes a grunt-
ing noise. The wind sucking may exist
without crib biting. 1t may be learned
by standing idle near crib bitter, and al
ways goes on to disease and loss of condi-
ton. The same authority prescribes the
following treatment Smear the front
of the manger with aloes or other bitters;
cover all exposed wood work with sheet
iron; muzzle may also be put on after the
horse has done feeding" Other equally
good authorities recommend putting a
lump of salt and one of white chalk or
magnesia IN box before the horse, aud
keeping these constantly within reach
As we have said, the habit may be learn
ed, but, in most instances, it may be con-
sidered as kind of dyspepsia, and the
burning acidity of the stomach prompts
the horse to get relief by sucking in cool
air. The salt and magucsia or chalk af-
ford a similar momentary relief, and fire.

SHEEP IN NEW MEXICO.

Lieut.. Meline, of the army, from whom
we have heretofore quoted, furnishes the
following statement in reference to sheep
culture in New Mexico
"Sheep need but the absence of the wild
Indian and the slightest care in the intro
duction Of choice breeds to enable New
Mexico to control the wool market, not
only Of the United States but of the world.
They are kept in immense herds, and feed
themselves the year round. Two boys,
with two shepherd dogs, will guard flock
Of from two to three thousand, going out
upon the mesas with them, and sometimes
not returning home for months. Goats
are generally mingled with the sheep, for
the reason that they will lead boldly into
places where the sheep cannot be driven.
The proprietors of some Of the largest
haciendas own focks of from 10000 to
10000. They are more healthy here than
any place / know of in the United States,
and their only dangerous enemy is the
Navajoe and the Apache When the
Americans first came to Santa Fe, sheep
could be had for twenty-five cents. Now,
the unshorn sheep-skin alone sells for about
thirty-fve cents.
An official estimate, made in 1851,
makes the number of sheep stolen by the
Indians in eighteen months prior to Sep
tember i, 1850, amount to AZ 300.
In the year 1868, q, 3S9 sheep, 81
horses, 265 mules, and 4O2 cattle were Ia
ken by the Indians; with per contra of
"a, 2G6 sheep, 152 horses, 232 mules, 215
cattle, and u burros taken from the In
dams by the troops.
In like manner, in 1864, 1850 sheep,
26 horses, $50 mules, and 1872 cattle taken
by the Indians, against 12,2S4 sheep,
24T2 horses, "a mules, and 81 cattle taken
from them"
The account appears to have been kept
pretty well balanced between the Indian
and the white man, in 1868, but in 1864
the red brother seems to have Jared rather
worse
The high mesas, or table lands, indefi-
mite in extent, furnish illimitable pastur-
age Of the best description. They are
unfit for cultivation, but are covered with
rich carpet of curled gramma, the most
nutritious grass in the world, affording I'M
surpassed pasturage nearly the whole year
round. This grass (AtteropogOn oligos-
taclyaH,) is indigenous only to this section
of America, and its nutritious qualities
are so remarkable that horses and mules
viii leave grain to feed upon it. Our
gamesters pronounce it superior to either
redtop or timothy. Made into hay, it is
purchased by our quartermasters at forty
10 fifty dollars per ton. Its stalk grows
from ten to fourteen inches high, and
gives off near the top, at right angles, a
stem two or three inches long bearing the
seed vessels.

Good grooming is necessary to good d.
gestion and health of horse. The func-
tons of the skin are very important. The
skin is an excretory organ as well as one
which affords covering and protection to
the muscular tissues. Cleanliness of the
skin is as necessary for the health of a
horse as for that of a man. The skin ex-
foIiates or throws off in scales the used up
portion; and this dusty matter should be
brushed out of the coat. The irritation
by the brushing stimulates the skin, and
assists this healthful action; but the irri-
tation should not be too severe. \ mod
crately hard brush is preferable to hard,
sharp currycomb.

STOCK FEEDERS, LOOK TO

am now manufacturing a Feed Cutter for
fodder, hay or straw, that is superior to any
other cutter ever invented. 1t cuts faster and
brushes the fodder, putting the stalk into such
a condition that cattle viii eat all up. The
folders after being cut passes through crusher,
thus making the hard corn stalk as soft as the
blade; while all other cutters leave the stalk
in short hard pieces, and the chewing of such
hard pieces by your stock produces sore mouths
which, instead of a benefit to your stock, is
an injury. | claim this machine TO be superior
to all others. To satisfy yourselves, feeders

As general rule people plant potatoes
too deep. First pulyerize the ground
thoroughly, then cover lightly with the
hoe. BY following this method, and by
preventing sprouting until planting time,
and then plunging your potatoes into a
lime-wash to destroy morbid principles,
we may prevent the development of dis
ease, and raise crop similar, if not SUI
perior, to those seen before the invasion
of the rot, say eight or nine tons per acre
