Care of Work HoI SEES,

The grooming-as it is called-of
horses, is quite as important as the
| feeding, and in the summer time when
the teams are worked hard, it is indis-
pensabie to their welfare. The skin OF
an animal is one of the most active
excretory organs, and is furnished
with an enormous number of pores,
through which passes constant
stream OF moisture, that is charged
with waste and offensive matter from
the blood. Besides these there are
thousands of minute glands in every
square inch, which secrete an oily fluid
which keeps the skin soft and pliable;
and In addition, every hair on the skin
is rooted in follicle or gland, which
supplies thespecial nutriment required
for it. Moreover, the surface of the
skin is continually wearing away as it
is renewed by the new growth, and
this waste, dry matter scales off, and
needs to be removed by the curry
comb and brush. When a horse is
working, the excretion from the skin is
prefuse, and pours from it in the form
ofperspiration. When this dries on tie
skin it leaves a quantity of impure
matter adhering to it, which is apt to
close the pores and prevent the escape
of the perspiratiou. This produces
disorder, in the form of congestion of
the myriads OF capillary vessels which
form q close network near the surface
of the body, and the excretions and
secretions being stopped, the skin be-
comes harsh, dry, contracted and dis
eased. The impure matter-being un-
able to escape-gathers in places and
forms pimples, blotches or tumors
and, if it is not removed, there is dan
ger of poisoning the blood, and, with
the appearance of farcy and CHAMBERS,
finally death. All this may be pre-
vented by careful attention to the
skin, by occasional washing, regular
currying and brushing, and proper
care to avoid CALLING by the rubbing OF
ill-ftting harness. AS prevention is
the best cure, it is we'll that owners OF
horses should exercise all possible pre-
cautions to avoid the frequent disor-
ders which result from neglect in the d.
rection pointed out, and thus save
much annoyance and loss.-American
AgricultUrist.

Horses Stunp by Reefs.

tfrom the GlDson (Ill.l Courier.
A curious accident occurred to the
team OF James Smith at Patoka, Ill.
He was driving past neighbours just
as a hive OF bees had swarmed, and
the whole swarm settled on the horses.
The frightened animals, stung to mad
ness, broke loose from the wagon and
ran IN different directions One OF the
horses was afterward caught, in a pit
iful condition from the thousands of
stings he had received, but the other,
on which the swarm seemed TO center.

Kicking COWS.

The limits OF a prize essay Will not
permit u writer to explain at length
his methods of managing kicking cows,
hence much must be inferred. No sane
person will deny that the butcher is
the best cure tor I'm incorrigible kicker.
Some cows kick because they are
naturally vicious, Others because they
are nervous and "touchy," and still
others because they seem to take de-
light in turning a mixer heels over APP
petite. When | am milking a con-
firmed kicker, | experience about the
same sensations as when In the i'm
mediate vicinity of reckless youth
with loaded shotgun. Some cows
kick for good reasons. A mixer who
goes at a COW as he would at pump
handle, occasionally needs gentle re-
minder that cows are alive, and have
feelings" Much depends on how a
cow is treated. l have one of the
nervous, touchy kind now-in fact,
she rambles on the ragged edge OF
viciousness; but with careful, fair
treatment, she is as gentle rs a lamb.
| have had her four years, and In all
that time she has kicked me but twice,
and each time it WAS my own fault,
and needed kicking. She is very sus-
picious OF strangers, and has kicked
several persons who attempted to
milk her during my absence. She will
either run like a deer from strangers
who enter the pasture, or charge them
with evil intent. Yet, whenever | go
to the gate and call her, she runs to
me, "hoists," and stands like q statue
while / milk her. Cows ought never
to be MIXED by persons strange to
them, if it can be avoided. A new
hand should be allowed two or three
days, to "get acquainted" with the
COWS he is to milk.
My method of milking touchy cow
is as follows: Approach her whistling,
singing, or talking, to attract her at
tention. Lean lightly against her side,
and tell her to "hoist." Place the
head against her and adjust the stool,
sit down and gently grasp the farther
fore teat, then the near one, and with
the head still resting lightly against
her, milk steadily until finished. No
matter what sort of a cow | am milk
ing, | begin with the farther fore teat,
and allow nothing to disturb me or
cause me to change my position until
the lob is inished.-Prairie Farmer.

TRAINING FLEAS.
a Circus Composed of Two Hu ndred In
telIigent Little Inse cts.

n circus composer OF Two flu ndreG In
telIigent Little Inse cts.
A flea circus, composed of about two
hundred of the most distinguished and
intelligent fieas in the entire family,
was exhibited a few years ago.
Who first discovered that the flea was
susceptible to education and kind treat
ment is unknown; but the fact remains
that on their small heads there is a
thinkin g-cap capable of accomplishing
great results In the selection of fleas
for training. however, the same care
must be taken rs with human beings,
as the greatest difference is found IN
them. Some are exceedingly apt
scholars, while others can never learn,
so it is that great numbers of tieas are
experimental with before a troupe is
accepted.
One of the first lessons taught the
flea is TO control its jumping powers,
for if its great leaps should be taken III
The middle of a performance. there
would be Il sudden ending to the cir
Gus. To insure against such misfor-
tune. the student flea is first placed in
a glass phial. and encouraged to jump
as much as possible. Every leap here
made brings the polished head of the
flea against the glass, hurting the in
sect back, and throwing it this way
and that, until. after long and sorry
experience, and perhaps many head
aches, it makes up its mind never to
unfold its legs suddenly again. When
it has proved this by refusing to jump
in the open air, the first and most i'm
portant lesson is complete. and il
joins the troupe, and is daily harnessed
and trained, until. finally, it is pro-
nounced ready to go on the stage or in
the ring. &C. F. Holder, in st. Nicholas.
