A Warranted Rubber Root.

The "Candee" Rubber Co., Of New Haven,
Conn.,, is making new rubber boot, which is
just what outdoor men have long been look
ing for, viz, one that is warranted. These
boots are called the "95" Per Cent Sterling
Rubber Boot. They warrant them three
months, and il your boot cracks or gives way
in that time, you can secure a new pair Tree
OF charge, provided the boots have had fair
usage.
That there may be no question about the
three months, when you buy the "95" Boots,
the storekceper punches the date in the top OF
the leg, in spaces provided TOR that purpose,
and the warrant begins from thai date and
cannot be disputed These "9," Per Cent
Boots are rs pure as can be made, and will
last six months hard wear. The exposed
portions are doubled, and the soles are hall an
inch thick, of solid rubber, and will outwear
three pair of any other rubber boots. Illus

supplied by the "CanLee " company OH appli-

CARE or STOCK IN THE sPIRNG.

At no season of the year do d0mes-
tic animals require more care and
attention than during >the~next-1ew
weeks. This is especially true 7ot
cattle and sheep. AS warm weather
comes on. the dry, coarse straw or
fodder, which, in some cases las been
their only food through the winter,
becomes very unpalatabfe::' As'soon
.as the first spears of green grass are
:seehs they will, if permitted leave
theiM> coarse food almost untasted, =,
and spend their time in nibbling q
scanty subsistence from the almost
bare pastures or commons. Not un-
frequently, stock'@that sshas 1hann ged
torsholdSits own. even with poor food
and Shelter, during cold weather,
loses flesh rapidly in March and
April, so much so that a great part
of the summer is spent in regaining
what: was lost in few weeks.
But this is not the only bad result.
BY allowing stock to runat will over
pastures in early spring, much injury
lis done ly their pulling up the young
grass by the ropts arNt s. the tramp
ling OF the cattle in wet weather.
These injuries are the more serious,
If, as is often tl.e' case, the: grass has
been eaten Oft close late in the fall.
1t is much the better plan to keep
the pastures free until the grass has
had time to- well ><coier the ground
and viii readily afford good living
for the stock. We very much doubt
whether there is any gain in allowing
cattle to run at large early in the
spring, even on the common or wool
land. There are 1T least two advan-
tages lin keeping rthem in the yard.
You save all the manure and free the
little folks from many long al.d some
times unsuccessful expeditions after
the cows. Liberal feeding with grain
and roots. ifyou haave them, will be
we'll repaid.
If from scarcity Of feed it is neces-
sary to commence pasturing early,
use but part Of the ground at first,
so that it may afterward be left free
and have time to make up zt6r the de-
mand on it. There is some differ
ence Of opinion ON the subject, but
we think it best to have the pasture
land so divided that there may be
occasional changes during the Sum-
met Western Ra4ral.

what was heavy about the, work to

CARE OF FARM HORSES.

The prevailing opinion among farm
ers is, that during the winter months,
when their horses are doing but lit
tie work, is the time to get them fat,
or rather feed them up SO .s to have
them in good condition for the heavy
work in the spring, all of which is
grave mistake. While it is true that
the horses should he prepared during
the = winter months tor Athe spring
work, such preparation 1hould not
consist in over feeding; OH the con-
trary should be done by light feeling.
Horses that have been kept up all
summer and ted grain should have h
change,s end such II one rs will give
them good health, and this can only
be done by allowing accumulations
caused by heavy feeding of summer
an opportunity to pass out OF the sys-
Eten1!S y: 4
As soon as fall plowing is done
reduce the grain feeding to barely
enough to keep the animal from tall
ing off; feed plenty of straw and hay
with an occasional Iran mash;~~ a
small box near the feed box with
salt and wood-ashes mixed where the
animal can getsit Ut all times; plenty
of ont door exe,rise* during pleasant
days, with good warm stables for
| .nig ghts and stormyx days; and when
very cold use plenty 81 blankets.
Lay the curry-comb aside as soon
as cold weather comes, allowing it
to rest. during the winter. Then
about two or three weeks previous
to commencing work III the spring,
gradually increase the feed until the
time to begin work, when not more
than will be eaten clean should be fed.
BY this means the horse has Il good

What was: thought to be : few
years ago, an i'm possibility, sisS- now
an accomplished fact. When Burson
failed with his wire binder, there
were plenty of people who said, IL
told you So; but Burson's mistake
consisted only in attempting +" do
by hand what was only possible to
do by machinery. = His principle has.
been adopted by all tile wire binder
inventors, and there is nothing to-
day that, is more OF a success. The
objection OF wire in the wheat 10
longer need trouble the millers.
Cattle will not die from Ill overload
of iron in the stomach. The band
cutter need not exercise care to Sc
cure the wire band. 1t is all done
away with; and it may not be too
much to say that, so soon as the
present wire binders are. worn out,
those using twine wilf'sbe substitu-
ted. There is 3oxsly enc possible
drawback to the use Of twine; insects
will eat it; but chemistry. will pro-
vide solution which will keep ver-
min at distance. The use of twine
brings out new industry: The
consumption of twine will be enor-
nous. 1t must be made either oI
flax or hemp, and innu,nerable mills
will lie needed tor its manufacture.
