1t has been learned by experience that
posts thoroughly seasoned when set will
eutlast those put into the ground when
| the wood is green, and it has also been
proued that those set with the tops in
the ground will remain sound long after
Others from the same quality of wood
set with the butts down have decayed.
Charring the ends of the posts set in
the ground drives out the sap contained
in the wood, and closes the pores so as
| to prevent the moisture in the soil from
penetrating it. This is probably the
cheapest method known, and has proved
very satisfactory.
! When the "cow doctor" tells you
your colt has "got the lampers,' and
4 offers TO burn them out with hot iron
set the dogs on him and clear him of
the place. He and his hot irons are
relics of baTbarism almost extinct, but
not quite. Lampas may be reduced by
simple and humane treatment. In
young animals the trouble is caused BY
teething. which induces an infamma
ton in the soft parts of the mouth; in
older ones sharp teeth decorating the
tissues produce the same effect. When
you find your horse troubled with this
form of sore mouth, give him soft food
and battle parts with lotion made oil
water one pint and half Tie 3 sponge
on stick and sYab the mouth three OF
four times a day.-E1.

1t has been the custom in this part G
