Sheep must be kept in dry yards
or there win be danger to their feet.
Ewes with lambs should have grain
daily, at least until they come to past
ure.-Mo7atreGI Witness.
Cows at calving need little care,
the less the better if in loose box or
open field. 'Fussing" over them is al-
ways provocative of injury. Give no
grain but loosening diet of bran and
roots for some days, and gradually in
crease feed as feverish symptoms pass
away.-ETchG'sge.

Battle the horses shoulders with
cold water or brine as quick as the col
lars come off, before the sweat begins
to dry, and rub off the collars and sad
die pieces with a moist cloth. This
will prevent sore shoulders. All
changes of food should be gradual,
but in proportion to the work, Heavily
taxed muscles make demands on the
stomach; hence, increase the food af-
ter work begins, never in anticipation.

work gets soft and fat Western Rural.
"A farmer who is noted among his
neighbors for his fine pigs, feeds the
sows mixture of two bushels of buck
wheat and one of corn ground to-
gether, the meal being made into a
slop. This food is given in moderate
quantities only, apportioned so as to
keep the SOW in a somewhat thin con-
dition, and without making flesh or
fat. Before narrowing the SOW is
lightly fed, and if it can be avoided no
grain is given. In this way the SOW
farrows safely, and never feels inclined
to modest the young pigs when they
are dropped.-Saa Francisco Chronicle.
