Cure for Founder.


A recent writer gives this remedy fol
lameness occasioned by infammatory fever
in the foot of the horse, with the assurance
that it is a perfect cure:
"Clean out the bottom of the foot
thoroughly-hold up the leg so as to bring
the bottom of the hoof upward, holding it
firmly in horizontal position and pour in.
say tablespoonful of spirits of turpentine,
if the cavity of the hoof will hold that
much-if not, pour in what it will hold
without danger of running over touch
the turpentine with red hot iron; this
will set it on fire; hold the hoof firmly
in position until all burns out. Great care
must be taken that none runs over on the
hair of the hoof, lest the skin be burned.
IF all the feet are affected, burn turpentine
in each of them. Relief will speedily fol-
low. and the animal be ready for service in
short time
It is affirmed that animals treated in this
manner have been promptly relieved. In
one case, although suffering for more than
twenty-four hours when applied, In less
than an hour afterward the animal was fit
for use and travelled some distance, all lame
ness disappearing.

treatment Of Baby Horses.

a society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals recommends the following rules
for the treatment of balky horses. /.
Pat the horse upon the neck, examine the
harness carefully, first on one side then on
the other, speak encouragingly while doing
SO, then jump into the wagon and give the
word generally he will obey. 2. A
teamster in Maine says he can start the
worst balky horse by taking him out of the
shafts and making him go round in a cir
Gle. IF the first dance does not cure him,
the second will be sure to do it. 3. To
cure balky horse simply place your hand
over the horsess nose and shut off the wind
till he wants to move; then let him go. 4.
The brains of horses seem to entertain but
one idea at time thus continued whip
ping only confirms his stubborn resolve.
If you can by any means give him new
subject to think Of you will have no trouble
in starting him. A simple remedy is to
take couple of turns of stout Irvine around
the fore leg, Just below the knee, and tie
in bow knot. At the first check he will
go dancing off, and after going a short dis
lance you can get out and remove the
string to prevent injury in your further
drive
That's it, exactly. Give him new idea
Ia new subject to think Of. But just
there is where the trouble comes in, A
thoroughbred balky horse will stick to his
hobby as pertinaciously as modern poll
tican, and it cannot be gotten out of him
long enough to start him. At his own
sweet viii and pleasure he will 60, and not
before.

THINK BEFoREHAND.-No man is fit
to manage a farm who does not think be-
forehand what is best to do, and which is
the best way to do it. Work without
thought, without plan, has been the blunder
of many who pretend to be farmers. Rails
ing crops without knowledge as to their
cost, or thought as whether they will sell
or not, has Slapped many fortune. More
fore-thought in the management of farm
is required than in most any other pursuit
followed by man, and the beforehand farmer
is always the one who counts the cost, and
closely calculates matters that appertain to
the farm, not that farmer is necessarily
obliged to make shifts and turns in order to
succeed, but simply to count the cost, and
act on the knowledge thus acquired.

About Cows.
From nc Country Gentleman.

From ne Country Gentleman.
After careful experiment I concluded
that, as rule, more profit can be had from
COW that comes in fresh in the fall than
in the spring. There are several reasons
for this /. The COW is usttally in better
condition in the fall than in the spring.
After COW has run dry on pasture for two
months or more in the summer she is usual
" in better flesh and condition for calving
and giving milk than if she comes in in
early spring after months ef dry feed. 2.
Again, the COW that calves in the fall goes
on fresh pastures just at the time she would
naturally begin to shrink in her milk, and
the season Of flush milk is prolonged. 8.
The average price Of butter is considerably
greater from October to May than from
May to October, so that we can make a
greater profit from the COW that is fresh in
the fall 4 The most disagreeabIe season
of the year to milk, and the hardest to
make a good quality Of butter is during the
heat of summer, and at this season it is
wise to produce only what the family re-
quires. 5. | find fall calf can be raised
with less trouble than one born in spring,
for the reason that it does not require the
same care to winter calf that is a full
year old, and has had an entire season on
grass, than it does the spring calf tina tbs
weaned in the fall, and must spend six
months on dry feed before it goes to pas
ture. The profitable way to fatten cow
l. - c.t+o.. 4 .lf- ~ a. . - 49,. To
you do not breed the COW she can usually
be MIXED at profit from eighteen months
to two years, and occasionally you will find
one that can be MIXED much longer time
A COW in her prime-say from six to eight
years old-that has given milk a year or
more can be MIXED all winter and dried
the first of April, and in four weeks go to
the butcher at the season of the year when
beef is always scarcest and highest in price
The latest COWS | ever sold were MIXED
up to the day the butcher took them, and
/ calculated that the milk through the win
ter paid the entire expense of fattening. /
have often bought in the fall thrifty COW
with the marks of good feeder-that
under the treatment she was receiving, was
giving but three or four quarts of milk a
day, but under full feed soon increased to
two gallons and kept up the flow till she
went to the butcher in the spring, and /
usually sell at an advance of from S12 to
S25 above cost. The quality of the milk
from full fed farrow cow is very superior
to that from fresh COW. / have found
this plan of milking for long time with
out breeding especially valuable with old
cows Occasionally one gets hold of a COW
that possesses so many valuable qualities
that he wishes to keep her as long as pos
sible. After such COW passes her prime,
breed her to come in in the fall when in
good order, and then feed so as to keep her
up and milk as long as she viii pay for
keeping. | have MIXED for thirty-seven
months, and have known cases where COW
has been MIXED for FIVE years without
breeding.
