FOUL SHEATH IN HORSES.

There is nothing lin my opinion) that
pulls a horse down faster than foul sheath.
Farmers and all having charge of horses
should know that it it is no hard matter to
clean a horses sheath, and keep it clean.
The best way is to feed good wholesome
food, that will prevent the disease, but that
cannot always be done, and then we have
to resort to a cure, which / find generally a
very easy matter. Pare the nails of the
right Land smooth, and take as much clean
lard, free from salt, as a be held by the
points Of the fingers and thumb insert the
hand to the bottom Of the sheath, and as
the hand is withdrawn, leave all the lard.
Repeat the operation W or three times at
intervals of about two days, and my expe-
rience is that iii nine cases out Of ten the
horses will be all right. lfnot, wash out
carefully with luke warm water, but it is.a
bad plan to use the water in very cold
weather. I am now nearly three-score
years old, but never saw q foul sheath until
about twenty-five years ago, and find now
when my horses are fed on good pure hay,
or well cured corn fodder, free from all
mould or dust, that they are not troubled,
but while feeding Hungarian hay, it is next
to impossible to keep them clean. I have
never seen q horse troubled with that dis
ease while fed on good corn fodder.-Cor.

SHEEP HUSBANnRY IN TIE UNITED
STATES.

There Is warrant for saying that this
country is entering upon a new era in sheep
husbandrya which is fraught with great
promise for the future Of that important in
d~nstry-an era which will bring wealth aud
honor to intelligent and careful flock-nas-
tiers, and 70 the country at large.
First there is the assured demand for
wool to meet the requirements Of the manu-
facturers of WOODEN goods, or, rather, the
consumption OF such goods by the people.
Daring the period OF business. depression
through which the country has passed, there
was MISREPRESENTATION of wooden fabrics.
Thousands of people were not able to BUY
them, and to supply cheaper goods. IN.
mills turned out a class OF fabrics into who's.
texture entered, more, or less, cut-up rags.
Shoddy goods were the rule, and straight
Woolen fabrics the exception. Now this is
vastly changed. People will buy good
goods if they are. able to do so, knowing
that the best Isl the cheapest. Western
mills. almost without exception, make
straight goods, and eastern manufacturers
will be compelled, soone or later, to adopt
the same policy. Indeed, the percentage Of
the stuff which circumstances made neces-
sary for some years past, forms an incon-
siderable portion of the product of the mills

LIZ Z STOCK.

REPORTS recently published from vari-
GUS districts, in regard 20 blackleg, have
been such as to astound the capitalist about
to invest in cattle, and deter him from do
ing so until the problem has had a. s~atisfac-
tory solution. The demand for cattle has in
consequence decreased within the past three
weeks, and prices which were out of pro-
portion, taking the price realized for beef as
a standard, have downward. tendency, while
sheep, which were prophesied a month ago
would 60 begging at less than 50 a head
We have reference to this years drive,
sheep unacclimated of course-are standing
firm at about $3.50, with plenty of buyers.
This sudden change in stock cirles is due al
most entirely..to the hue and cry about
blackleg, raised by..cattle owners themselves
and (which is. greatly exaggerated. The
loss from this. disease has been great, but
we are assure d not half what it is represent
ed. A few hundred head Of dead animals
make a big showing and men make their
estimate without stopping to consider the
number Of stock on the range. A reliable
gentleman recently from the Musselshell,
one of the worst infected districts Of Mon
tana, and where the loss is estimated at
from so to go per cent of this years increase,
assures US that the loss is actually not over
% per cent, and probably less. However
this may be, capital is again turned toward
sheep, audit will be another year at least
before cattle are in as good demand as dur
ing several months the past summer.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-10-16

DURING the past eight years, wool-grow-
ing in Colorado has increased 500 per
cent, and the territory has now 100000
sheep, which will yield the present year
nearly 10000 pounds OF wool. Leading
iocks number from 1000 head up.

turn them to advantage. As has aptly
been said by a prominent authority in this
industry-'The luck of sheep husbandry
is so thoroughly within the control Of the
flock-master that he rarely need look be-
yond his own management for those causes
and effects which &C to make or mar his for
tune" The present is a time, we believe.
when the chances are all in the fiock-mas-
ter's favor,-American Stocknan.
The statement is again made by an Englih
contemporary that the steamer Great Eastern,
which has long been lying at Milford Ha-
ven, is to be fitted up with new boilers and
machinery at a cost of 100000, as q cattle
ship. 1t is estimated that she can carry 1900
head of cattle and $4,000 sheep. She Is to
trade between London and Texas.
