FOUNDER IN HoRsEs.-Allowing a
horse to drink too freely of water alter
q hard drive or ride, feading too heav-
lily when hot and hungry, or allowing
the animal after being Overheated to
stand in cold, exposed place to cool
off, are all causes Of founder in horses.
Among the many remedies prescribed,
the most etfectual seems to be to bleed
the animal as soon as found to be affect
ed, give spoonful of pulverized salt
petre, and not allow him water for six
or eight hours. If he improves, stuff
his feet with COW dung, and feed him
with scalded oats and bran mixed, but
give no medicines. Rubbing him all
over and keeping him frequently NOV
ing will stave of the disease. Tying a
foundered animal to stake in a pond
and compelling him to stand belly deep
In the water, has also been known to
give relief. Prevention, however, is
better than cure, and no humane horse
owner will ever SO treat his animal as
to bring on founder.

are often frosted through neglect and
allowed to die through ignorance.
Those that have been quite severely
nipped may be saved if treated rightly.
The proper way is, when the frost has
been partially drawn out of them, natu-
rally, tO.drench them with cold water
from fine-nosed watering pot, and i'm
mediately cever again and let them so
remain until they regain their natural
color.-When they are removed clip off
ali such parts as are blackened. AS
soon us it is discovered that plant has
been touched by frost, remove it to a
cool, dark room, and on no account suf-
fer the sun to shine on 1t. If they can
be covered so as to exclude air as well
as light 1t Is better still. Dahlias, can

until the frosts are severe enough to
