Tighten the weight of each front shoe
about four ounces; have the toe of the
shoe made of steel instead of iron; it will
wear longer; have it rounded off about
the same as it would be when about q
third worn out, in order to prevent trip
ping: allow one weeks rest; have the legs
showered for few minutes at time with
cold water through hose, in order to
create spray; then rub dry, brisky
from the chest down to the foot. Give
walking exercise daily during the week
for about an hour twice day. When
you commence driving again omit the
slow jog either walk or send him along
at sharp trot for mile or two, then
walk away, but do not speed for at least
several woeka. BY this means the habit
of stumbling from either one of the
above causes will be pretty well over
come.

Succuleut Food for stock.
Correspondent Rural New Yorker.


In behalf of the Royal Agricultural
society of England $50 inquiries were re-
Gently sent out to farmers there asking
their experience during the remarkable
winter of 1SS5-86. 1t appears that as a
rule the root crops were short, and the
question was asked, How did you pro-
vide food and especially succulent food,
for your cattle and sheep during the long
winter" The answers, according TO he
Live Stock Journal, are various some
having benefited by having silage; others
had to use large quantity Of purchased
food, brewers grains proving very help
full ia several instances; while hay and
grain were used to much greater extent
than usual. In the preparation of food,
too, advantage was found by pulping and
chatting; but it -eems that those suffered
least who had provided succession of
catch crops for spring consumption.
Kohl rabi helped several prominent stock
men greatly through the winter. The
well -known Charles Howard knows of no
crop so valuabls and early and cheaply
cultivated as the cabbage, which has
greatly helped him through many diff
cult summers with all kinds of stock.
Several others speak very highly Of cab
bags az stock feed iii winter; some say
ing that it is a very reliable plant, for
however great the drouth, it produces a
sgcculent winter feed more valuable than
silage.n

A Protest Against the Introduction Of Eng

CHIoAGo, Dec. In an article headed

Daily News, tomorrow, will protest
against the landing Of fifty English rab-
bits, reported to have arrived on the

the English rabbit, unlike the American
species, is a Borrowing animal, and being
thus able TO breed unmolested, will multi
ply until farming and agriculture be-
come well nigh impossible. The News
SAYS that in one district sheep raisers in

Kidding sheep From Ticks.
Americas Cultivator.

The most favorable season to wage a
war of determination against this expen-
siye pest is at the time the sheep are
sheared in spring. Dipping the entire
flock once or twice in decootlon of to-
bacco OF solution of arsenic will Kill
every tick The dipping process at this
season of the year ia out of the question
however. There arc several remedies in
use among experienced farmers whose
aocks come to the born in fall bearing a
crop OF these parasites. Perhaps this
most economical plan, and the one at
tended with the least labor, is to fumigate
the flock with sulphurous acid gas. This
if not carried too far will have tendency
to promote the health Of the sheep, and
is sometimes resorte1 to with good re-
suits when sheep are suffering from grub
in the head. The fumigation can be eff
fected in the shesp shed or in tie lp of
the barn. When in the latter the win
dows should all be opened, as the gas is q
deadly poison, and if inhaled TO exten-
sively will exterminate the entire flock as
well as all the yermin. Care must also be
used to prevent setting fire to the build
ings. The safest plan "a to have four
boards three feet long, from four to six
inches wide, and nail them so as to form
the sides of box.
Place this upon the floor and pat in
wheelbarrow load OF loan or sand. Take
large iron kettle aud put in e few
shovelfuls of live hard wood Goals into it,
Set a small iron kettle, old frying pan or
skillet upon tho Goals, throw wooden
blanket over the whole, and place it upon
the earth in tho box above mentioned
first shutting the flock into the enclosure
and providing quantity of birthstone
about four inches long in the vessel upon
the Goals. This will soon melt and burn
generating gas. Bear in mind that there
must be free ventilation through the
place. Stay by the fire and see that nc
accident occurs. Continue She fumigatior
about twenty minutes, at the end of which
carry the kettle TO some safe place in tins
open air aud allow the flock to remain
Repeat the fuInigation every day for .
week this is a sure remedy for lice on cat
tie and fowls and is said TO be very ber Fl
cial in epizootic in horses, IL is claimed
that ring-worm, mango and greasy hee.t
in horses have been cured by the above
remedy, also that severe cases of tuber
Giles of the lungs, CHAMBERS and farcy have
been relieved by inhaling this gas
Where hard wood is not burned, charcoal
will not answer the purpose as the fire
dies out too soon. The flock should bt
examined and fumigation resorted to a
once. No animal, whether sheep cattle OF
horse, can thrive when constantly tortur
by vermin sucking its life blood.
