THERE is no such disease as 'Hollow
Horn, or ''HornaIl. in cattle pathology.
When cattle can get run down or starved
out and are weak and sick, ignorant cat
tie doctors not knowing what the trouble
is, call it Hollow Horn, because their horn
are not so warm as they would be uude
better treatment and with richer blood
But there really is no such disease. and
hence, boring their horns and splitting
tails is the merest quackery and humbug.
Intelligent farmers will not allow sucn
treatment of their stock. Good shelter,
warm blankets, rich food, salt and copper
as (sulphate Of iron) are the proper relhe-
dies for the bad condition OF the health
called "Hollow Horn" by people who
know no better.

AGRICULTURE.

The EARLY SOWING OF OATs.-ln few
things have the advantage of an underdraiii
soil shown to better effect than In oats
growing. Light soiIs are not favorable
to oats, and yet it is the light soils which
are the early ones. On the other hand,
oats require moderately low temperature
of at least two months to perfect its root
organization. 1t ought to be one of tile
earliest crops sown in spring. but o'r
strong soils On which 1t does best are often
wet soils, and very unfavorable to early
sowing. Those who have strong soils, and
yet tolerably dry, have the very best OF
oats-land. and those who nave not, must
watch every chance to get In the seed
early, if they would have the best results.
Those who know this and yet have land
for oats which they feel they will hardly
be able fc seed before the end OF April.
sometimes prepare the land In the fall and
then SOW the seed on the snow carly in
March. Snow in our region is too preea-
rlous 10 found any system thereon. We
may have snow or we may not. But in
the Western States, where snow Is regu-
lar thing We notice that the prac-
tice is growing into favor. Those who
have tried il say the seed sprouts as
soon as the first warm days of srring
come. some two weeks at least ahead
of the regular April sowings, and the
crop is proportionally incressed- We may
not find this plan everywhere feasible
but we may be encouraged always to SOW
at the earliest time practicable.
