Biting Horses.

Horses have been successfully cured Of
this vice by putting a piece Of hard
wood an inch and half square in the
animals mouth, about the same length as
an ordinary snaflle bit. 1t may be fast
ened by a thong Of leather passed through
two holes in the ends of the wood and Sc
cured to the bride. 1t must be used in
addition to the bit, but in no way to i'm
pede the working of the bit. Rarey adopt
ed this plan with the zebra in the Zoo,
which was terrible brute at biting. MIR.
Rarey succeeded, however, in tanning and
training him to harness and drove him
through the streets Of London. Animals
with this vice should be treated kindly in
the stable and not abused with pitchfork
handles, whips, etc. An apple, crust Of
bread, piece Of beet, ETC., and a kind
pat, but firm, watchful hand and eye, with
the use OF the above wooden bit, will
cure the most inYeterate bitter. The fact
that he cannot shut his mouth or grip
anything soon draws upon him and then
he is conquered.

Between the sleeps hoofs a small aper-
tuTe may be seen called the billeX canal,
whose Office IL is to secrete an Oily huld
for the purpose Of lubricating the skin be
tween the hoofs, it being called
into action by every step The
sheep takes Ia procuring its IOOu.
Therefore, when Derpetually wet or con-
stantly dirty, the parts swell, and this Sc
erection already spoken of is stopped or
retarded; hence not only is the skin de-
priyed OF the oily secretion, but the secre-
ton itself becomes an irritant Of the
glands, which secreted it. Inflammation
of the parts is the consequent result,
hence foot rot, which unless retarded and
remedied very soon destroys not only the
boots but the glands, and perhaps the
cOrOnary border which secretes the hOOfs.

The Jersey Red is hog that is becOm-
ing very prominent in favor in many To-
calities. There are few in the South.
The breed ought to be better represented
in the cotton States. Southern breeders
would do well to advertise those hogs. 1t
is claimed that Reds are easily fattened
at any age. That at from seven to eight
months old, they can easily be made TO
average from $50 to 800 pounds. That
more lean meat is the rule with these hogs
than any other breed, and that butchers
prefer the meat to that Of any other hog,
paying in a number of cases soc. more
per 100 pounds. Special attention has
been called to the superior quality of the
sausage meat. The grades are said to
give general satisfaction wherever known
and reared. The Reds are said to be as
prolific in breeding as any other hog; and
those who specially champion their cause
are very emphatic IN their asoersions that
this breed will make more and better
