A sensible writer says: Clean your
horses up at least once a week by giving
them a good bath The comb and brush
are good for the hair, but good wash
ing will take all the dust and dirt from
the skin, and thus assist in keeping the
horses in better condition.
The disagreeable habit of awakening
at unreasonable hours, may be corrected
in the following simple manner. Getup
and dress as soon as you awake, and do
not retire again until the usual hour; or
retire two hours later and rise two hours
earlier for three days in succession. In
either case the habit will be broken at
the end of the three days.
Apiarists do not need any nostrums
for the cure of stings, for the more
stings they have, the less effect upon the
system. When first commenced work

would be swollen shut: now fifty stings
would not have this effect. Ny only
remedy is to pick out or rub off the
sting as soon as possible, and keep on
with my work. A person not accustomed
ed to being Stung, will find cold water
as good remedy as any; and aqua
ammonia is quite popular for reducing
inflammation. A sting on the lips, or
about the eyes, is no joke; but on the
hands, is not worthy of notice. The

At a recent meeting of a Wool Associa-
ton held in Illinois: 4 paper was read
by the Secretary, on What have
Learned about Sheep" which called out
discussion on remedies for grub in the
head of sheep, and on increasing the
size. Mr.. Kelly says for grub in the
head, in the fall, inject through the nos
trilS vinegar and pepper, and as pre-
ventive, use air-slaked lime with salt,
in the troughS, in alternate handfullS.
Mr.. Garland thought the best way is to
prevent grubs getting into the head.
rather than to get them out. Mr.. Kelly
said the sheep viii not show the grub
until spring, and lambs often show them
in summer and fall. He also remarked
that worms in the stomach of lambs re-
suit from eating grass when wet, with
the eggs OF small black bug on it.
While the whip seems indispensable in
the handling and working of some
horses there is no question in regard to
Its misuse IN many cases, and the great
est trouble about having one of these
instruments of torture too convenient is
that 1t is generally used when the use of
It's least needed. Unfortunately the |
handling Of horses is done often by a |
class OF men who have less sense and |
Judgment and sense of propriety than |
The horses themselves. Such men, on |
the least prOYOcation, are ready at once !
to take out their spite and revenge on |
whatever comes handiest, which is gen
orally the poor horses in their charge. |
We're whips alway US in proper hands the |
charges OF cruelty laid upon this seem |
Ingly necessary implement would not be |
SO great Er.
Many complain that onions do not |
keep. The trouble is in keeping them |
100 warm. The onion is bulb-a plant |
OF rest-and the least warmth starts it |
INTO activity. 1t Is much better that |
onions should remain frozen through |
the winter, provided they can thaw |
gradually, than to be put into a cellar or |
other warm place, where their vegeta- |
tive powers will be aroused. If put in |
heaps, onions will be sure to spoil; but |
II spread in thin layers and covered with |
hay or straw, so that if frozen the thaW- |
ing viii be gradual, they will keep well |
through the winter. 1t is the custom /
With Onion-growers to get their crop to |
market as soon as possible. If they |
we're to provide proper storage they /
would realize much more from them |
when sent to market later in the sea-
son.
Henry Bergh, noted for his efforts to |
protect dumb, animals from cruelty, re- |
gently protested against clipping horses.
