The Care of Horses.

The Prairie Farmer says daily groom
ing (which means curry-cOmbing brush
ing. dusung off and wiping) Is essential
TO the keeping of horses in health and it
ought to be attended to in proper man
per. tits by neglect of it that a variety
of diseases are produced, such as grease,
scratches, mango, swelled legs, itching
of the tail and name, etc. Grooming
should always be performed thoroughly,
and we should recommend that the legs
and extremities are the first parts to be
attended to, and that they should not, as
a regular practice, be washed with cold
water, or, if occasionally they are so,
that the greatest attention De paid to their
being Immediately dried and rubbed
warm. Neglect of this point is another
fruitful source OF grease, swelled legs,
sbiverings, collie, etc. Bat whatever the
system of grooming is make yourself
master of it. and you viii be able to trace
many an obscure disease to its proper
cause-neglect in some particular.

Things Worth knowing.

Corn meal rubbed on the hands dry will
clean them of dust aad keep them IL nice
condition.
To keep moths out OF drawers wet a
piece of cloth in spirits OF turpentine aud
put in each drawer.
In making starch add one tesspoOnful
OF kerosene oil to each pint OF starch. 1t
gives tine gloss and never smells on any
garment.
To take out scorch caused from using a
too hot iron, lay the garment where the
bright sunshine will fall directly on it. 1t
will take the scorch entirely out.
10 make furniture look new take three
parts sweet oil and one part spirits of
turpentine. Mix. Rub the dust from the
furniture and apply the mixture with a
flannel cloth.
To remove corns. Get a stick of lunar
caustic, wet the end in water and apply
to the corns. No cutting or pairing is ne
cessary, but the caustic should be applied
for two or three nights in succession. In
a week or so the skin where the caustic
touched Will pull off, and with it the hard
core of the corn.
To remove freckles scrape horseradish
into cup of sour milk; let stand twelve
hours; strain and apply two or three
times day.
Another good way is to mix together
one ounce of lemon juice, oue-fourth of a
drachm OF pUlverized boraX and half a
drachm of sugar. Keep a few days in
bottle and apply occasionally.
A remedy for ingrowing nails is: Pare
the nail in the middle; then with pin
put as much cotton under the corners as
you can. This will cause the nail to press
out. Never pare the corners of the toe
nails; this will only make the matter
worse. Take a sharp-pointed instrument
and cut little iurrow all along the top
Of the nail lengthwise. AS it lills up scrape
it out again. This Will cause the nail to
contract at the top, and go loosen its hold
from the flesh. Persevere until the diff
Guilty is overcome.

FARM AND sioux NOTES.

The following are said to be the symp-
toms of hog cholera: Dropping ears, low

Happy is the apple grower, says the
Farm Journal, who has a few acres Of
naturally drained side soil, mellow and
porous, and deep enough to permit the
roots of his trees to go down out of reach
of pillow. or drought, or frost, and anchor
themselves in the very depths OF the earth
Such is not easy to find, and particularly
in large bodies, but whenever 1t is found
by all means give the apple a chance
at it.
The unreiability of chemical tests
alone to determine the value OF manure
is stTikingly illustrated by leather scraps
which, by chemical analysis. show large
percentage of ammonia, but in soil tests
are found practically worthless. The am
mOnIa which exists in the skin of the ami
NAL from which the leather ia made is not
destroyed by tanning, but is Offset by the
astringent substances used with 1t.
Mr.. l.. f. Scott, OF Litchfeld county,
Conn. says he has carted out hogsbeads

The Country Gentleman says: every
farmer knows that the fundamental char
hcter OF good soil is sand, clay and de-
cayed vegetable matter or humus. These
important constituents vary greatly in
their proportions. A strong clay soil mas

a ioamy soil has 30 TO 60 per cent. OF and;

Saving Liquid Manure.

To save the liquids of the COW lots and
stables on the farm, which are quite as
important as the solids, it is necessary
that they should be absorbed by some ma
terial that will preserve the ammonia.
Thrown or drained into pits Of wet COM
post or muck, evaporation continues and
tae most valuable constituents are lost.
Every intelligent farmer can easily I'M
derstand this and provide against it. The
finest absorbent is the best, while the
coarsest may be used in default of better.
Plaster OF Paris is used to FIX or hold the
ammonia, when it can be had; but the
average farmer cannot or does not pro-
cure it, and other materials, easier to OBJ
tain, must be sought for. The most con-
venent to every farm is fine dry top soil,
road or street scraplngs, which should be
hauled in during dry season and housed
in large quantity. The next most conve-
nient material is, perhaps, the red or yell
low clay, equally as good, but which must
be thoroughly pulveriZed before using.
at least one of these can be obtained on
almost every farm in the country; but
very mauy localities will afford an a0un-
dantsupply ofrich vegetable muck which,
if dug out, dried and puiverized, furnishes
still better material, because it is not
only finer but stored with elements that
will increase the supply of ammonia. 1t
must not be understood, however, that
muck will be in a proper condition if
heaped only a few days and then turned
about a few times with the spade or hoe.
II Of the vegetable character alluded TO,
# must be rOtted or decompOsed and
pounded or pulyerized thoroughly. 1t
will be much lighter than top soil or clay.
and its absorbing capacity much greater.
which will in some measure compensate
for the greater trouble in procuring It. II
the manufacturers of commercial fer
slizers find it profitable to pulverize and
use crude materials to absorb and hold
the more volatile ferCllizing elements, the
farmer will ind it even more 80, mas
mucn as he may obtain these materials
without paying for the freight and ma
1ipulation Of them.
