NANCE In I1OESE.-1ulS Is caused
by an insect. Whitewash the stable and
stalls with lime and cover the floor also
with it, as the mango insect will live on
the woodwork for some months, and re-
turn to the horse If not destroyed.
Treat as follows for the disease Make
an ointment of lard, twelve parts, car
bolic acid one part, and sulphur two
parts. Rub these together thoroughly,
until it is we'll mixed and smooth. Work
some of this ointment into the affected
portions Of the skin twice day. Give
an ounce Of flowers Of sulphur daily
in the feed until the perspiration of the
horse smells strongly of it, then discon-
tinue it, but continue the use Of the
ointment for some time longer, until the
skin RECEIVERS healthy appearance.
To IMPROVE STocK. The cheapest,
best and only way" says an exchange,
go for small farmers of limited means to
improve their stock to advantage is to
purchase pure bred male. Whether it
be hogs, sheep or cattle, thoroughbred
male should pay for himself in very
short time. A good Jersey or short
horn bull, herd registered, and well
adapted to the wants of an ordinary far
mer, good for all practical purposes, can
be purchased at from 500 to $3.50. His
services in neighborhood where pure
bred males are scarce would, in all prob
ability, be eagerly sought after by the
surrounding farmers, who would be
willing to pay reasonable sum for his
use-say from So to S. for each COW. II
the bull is in good condition and has the
age upon him he could be expected to
serve from forty to sixty or more COWS IN
one season. It no longer pays. except
under very unusual circumstances to
raise common stock of either hogs, sheep
or cattle. A good milk or butter COW al
ways commands good price, and sorry
one is hard to dispose Of to advantage
and very seldom pays to keep. This the
farmers all over the South are beginning
to understand, and hence the improve
ments going on in the native herds
throughout the country. Never use a
grade bull under any circumstances
when the services of thoroughbred
can be procured at moderate price"
WOLF TEETH IN HoBsEs. -The So
called wolf teeth are in themselves harm
less enough, yet the popular prejudice
has foundation which it would be well
for horsemen not to ignore. Most dis
eases of the eyes occur at that period OF
life when the milk teeth are being most
rapidly shed and the permanent teeth
are coming up. To suppose that horse
suffers nothing in cutting his teeth is a
great mistake, as is shown by the fre-
quently slow and painful mastication OF
some young animals, by dropping OF
food occasionally in haf-chewed con-
dition, and by the heat, redness and
swelling of the palate and gums. That
red, swollen and tender state Of the roof
of the mouth behind the front teeth, IA
miliarly known as "lampas, " is but an
indication of his teething trouble, and in
not few instances it renders the ami
mails feverish, weak, and, by virtue Of
the general congestion of the head,
strongly predisposed to Inflammation Of
the eyes. The wolf teeth are in the
mouth during the greater part of this
period of teething, and are usually shed
toward its completion; SO that, once it is
limited that these are the cause Of trou-
BILE with the eyes, the owner, looking
into the mouth, seems to find ample
confirmation of the statement. The
wolf teeth are. however, the most harm
