It is wei known that bees kept in one
hive FOR years are liable to disease and
the attacks of worms. There was rea-
son in the old practice of taking up
certain portion OF the older hives every
year. but with improved hives the bees
can be transferred 70 new quarters, and
hence the rayages of the bee moth NAV
IN a great measure be prevented.
When COWS gnaw boards. give them
charcoal mixed in the meal. and ground
bone. They should also have roots and
a sprinkle OF wood ashes on them. We
had two calves eatup barrel in winter.
but when summer came they ate no
more wood. The stomach Is dlsordered.
Give them some sulphur also. Feed
more bran than meal
All horses can be readily Taught to
eat sugar. II Is good for them helping

them TO shed their old coat readily. IL
is as good for this purpose as oil meal.
and certainly much more palatable
There Is an advantage in teaching horses
10 eat sugar, as they are 50 fond of il
that feeding them makes the animal
more gentle and kind. Arabian horses
are invariably fed sugar by their mas

We hope ere long to see hornless
ShOrthorns. Ayrshires and
other breeds shown at our fairs. the
horns having been prevented from
growth by the use of the knife on the
young calf. In a state OF nature horns
were needed for defense; but in domes-
tic stock there is no such need. They
are only used for offense against the
human family OF other animals. and
the sooner we get rid Of them BY breed
ing them off or preventing their growth
the better It will be for the country and
the stock farmers.-Er.
Evidently the horse that walks. saw
four miles an hour, with 2 load. is twice
rs valuable for teaming as the one that
walks only half so far, and If the time
Of the driver be reckoned az going
wages. the saving in time there is on
the side OF rapid walking. Another
TACT, the horse that walks rapidly IN
hill or on the level with load will ac-
his journey quicker than trot-
ing occasionally and walking slowly. |
and VIII be less varied when done. The
question. then. may be reckoned down |
% q very practical basis of money-say-
ng. and look upon the rapid-walking
iarm horse as just that-a money-saver. |
In breeding seek this end-the rapid |
walk, combined with power.-Er.
The care of the hair is certainly as |
important as that of the teeth. but is |
much more neglected. The best speci-
alists on treatment OF the hair saw that |
he hair should be washed once in six |
weeks and not oftener, and that castle
soap and not bo-ax. soda or any other |
Trying material, should be used. After !
il Is well to rub the scalp with j
'ome reliable ointment The natural
)il, which 70 some appears objection
lble. is the life-giving ointment of the /
hair, and should not be destroyed.
Dry hair has a dead appearance, the
.nds split, and growth is retarded. The
inc comb Is most hurtful, but q soft
,rush used judiciously gives vigor to
he scalp and keeps il in healthy con-
iition. The practice of cutting ends OF
he hair IS useful, and can be accom-
