Founder.

This disease consists in inflammation
of tire the lamine and of the vascula,
parts of the sensible foot. 1t sometimes
attacks only one foot, sometimes, two,
and sometimes all four: but, in a grea,
majority of cases, it alta ks either one
or both of the front feet. A chronic
| form sometimes occurs. and exhibits
symptoms somewhat similar to those of
contraction of the hogf; but acute in.
fammcton of the lam;ne is what is
generally called founder.
This disease is occasioned bv over.
straining of the lamine from long stand.
ing, hy rolonged or excessive driving
over hard roads, by congestion from long
confinement. by sudden reaction I. ON
standing in snow after being heated, OF
from covering with warm bedding after
prolonged exposure to cold, by sudden
change of diet from a comparatively
cool to comparat 'vely heating /; nd OF
food, and by translation of intlamma
tory action from me other part of the
body, particularly after influenza.
In the early stages of founder, horse
evinees great pain, shows exces-
sive restlessness of foot, and tries
to tighten the pressure of his body on
the diseased feet. In tn more advanced
stages he is feverish, breathes hard, has
vio' ent throbbing in the arteries of the
fetlock, lies down, stretches out his legs
ard sometimes gazes wistfully upon the
seat OF the disease; and in the ulterior
stages, if no efficacious remedies have
been applied, the diseased feet either
naturally recover Their healthy condi-
ton, or they suppurate. slough, cast
part or all of the hoof. and gradually
acquire a small. weak, new hoof. OF
they undergo such modification and
change OF tissues as to render the ami
NAL permanently useless.
The shoe of a foundered foot mus. be
removed; the hoof should be pared in
such a manner that the sole and central
p rtion of the same alone come 10 sus.
tain the weight Of the body. Therefore
the wall Of the hoof, or that portion OF
the hoof which, under normal condi.
tons. is made to bear upon the shoe,
should be pared or rasped away, all
around, to such an extent that it does
not touch the ground when the animal
stands upon the foot A well-bedded
shed, or roomy. well-bedded box-stall
should be provided. with view Of al,

Kittens Of the wildwood.

Abram Bateman, of Alameda, has
added to his collection pair of laguaI
kittens, which were presented to him
by p. I. Bowling, one of the owners OF
the Plaza de Plata mine, who cap
tGred the young brutes in an
abandoned shaft of Ell Rosario mine, in
the State of Sonora, four miles south OF
the Arizona line. Mr.. bowling had
often seen a large tigress prowling in
the vicinity of their camp, and, de-
| termining to possess himself of heI
lair. After the kittens were born, how
ever. their capture was no easy matter,
for the mother never left home during

until about two we ks ago, when Mr..
Bowling brought them up with him to
this city and presented them to his
friend. They are now eight weeks old
and we Oh thirty pounds apiece. Fav-

lives, they are as tame and pla full as
domestic kittens and display few signs
of :erocity except when feeding, at which
time they are altogether unapproac J.

in the back yard. but are often brought
into the parlor and turned loose for the

Winter Management Of Manurcs.

In the Northern States where the
value and management of manurcs has
received most attention. winter is gen.
orally regarded as The time when the
manure pile receives Its largest accre-
tons. To save this manure from loss
and apply it in mCst available form or
crops is therefore animportant problem
for the farmer TO solve "a problem made
more difficult by the temperature of the
winter months, by which fermentation
is restricted unless the manure is piled
in very lar.e heaps.
As ordinarily scattered over barnyards
during the winter. the freshly-made
manure drawn on land in the spring
cannot b. expected to DO much good
the first season. In the early s; ring
the ground is too wet and cold to start
the ie!m entation early enough. Later
in the season drought is apt to make
this coarse, unfel mented manure quite
as much an injury as a benefit to the
crops. In as cold Il season as last sum-
mer in many localities. unfermented
manures on heavy soil did not begin to
ferment early enough to save the corn
crop. In some experiments it was
found that very little concentrates
fertilizer applied in the hill with the
corn gave the plants such q start, that
they kept the lead the whole season of
corn manured at the rate of twelve
loads per acre with ordinary unfer-
mented BARNARD manure. In u differ
ent season the result would probably
have been different. But last year sat
isfied me that if corn is planted early
On heavy soil it needs fertilizer ricn
in available nitrogen to give it a send
Of. After the corn is large enough to
cultivate, the free use of the cultivator
will probably develop the plant-food IN
ordinarily fertile soil as fast as the crop
IAN use it.
The question is whether we cannot
make our barnyard manure furnish this
Iuick-acting stimulant to the young
plant What we want is to give at least
part of winter made manure such fer
mentation as will male It's fertility at
once available.
The mixing of various kinds of ma
nures in the barnyard is more import
ant matter than is often thought. Not
only do these manures Supplement-
eacn other, but their tendency to slow
or rapid fermentation enables each to
check the extreme tendency of the
other. Every farmer knows that horse
manure is too heating. Ii left in heaps
by itself in the coldest weather. it will
never freeze to the centre Usually,
before spring. if the horse stable stands

are burned in the centre, so that much

nure requires to be in pretty large

Toided. Put the two together. make a
aeap not too high, and turn once or
gwice during the winter, and before
spring it will be sufficiently fermented
TO make its fertility at once available
for crops.
1t is objected that this requires con-
siderable labor. Very well, it is at
season when there is comparative leis-
ure. All the labor is not wasted, for
the work of drawing and applying this
partially fermented manure viii be

much less than If drawn from the barn@
yard in it's crude state. But if the pig.
pen is convenient to the barnyard, as i:
should be, much of the work of COM
posting may be saved and better results
will be obtained. There are objections
to keeping pigs in yards where other
stock run or are fed; but the hog yard
should be where the manure from both
pigs and cows can be thrown over into
it to be worked up. Pigs in store con.
dition will find considerable grain in the
excrement of well-fed horses and cows.
In working it over to get this they will
keep it from undue heating, and their
own excrement will give the manure
additional value. Probably there will
not be as many wagon-loads in the pen
in the spring as have been put in, but il
will be manure that can be relied upoa
to give vigorous start to the crop. Ii
will go farther and do more good than
the strawy, coarse stuff often hauled out
in the spring.
Sheep make very rich manure, and it
beats very readily. If left as dropped,
and the yard is well-littered so rs to
keep the surface clean, the tramping oil
the sheep will prevent injurious fer
mentation. Still the basement or yard
should be cleaned out once or twice in
the winter, and if piled loosely in heaps
it will require some watching to prevent
its burning in the middle, as horse:ma.
nnre heaps will. Once turning over the
heap will usually suffice. taking pains
to throw the outside of the first heap
into the middle of the new one, so that
The heat may be equa!ized. If the hea.

mule will be ripe enough to draw and
spread upon the land, and it can be
done more heaply while the ground is
frozen and covered by snow than later
in the season.-N. Y. Examiner.
