There is no mystery about making
neatsfoot oil, says the Rural Home.
The only thing necessary is to boil in a
kettle as many cattle's feet and hoofs
as can be obtained and skim off the oil
until no more rises. From the four
feet of one animal pint of oil is gen.
orally obtained and it is well worth the
triiiing cos. of making it.
A cold, damp soil, with hard i'm
pervious subsoil, is not suitable for a
garden, and before it can be properly
utilized should be well drained. For
garden purposes. if the drain has been
laid, the trenching system is best for
such soils. Any method that permits
it to rid itself of surplus moisture, and
allows the air and heat to enter, will
be beneficial. N. Y. Herald.
-"Apples,' says Secretary Russell,
who is quoted by the NeW England
Farmer, "are good food for horses as
well as for other animals that are not
kept for hard work, but if apples are
fed in the country to horses that are to

teeth will be so blackened by the fruit
acid that the veterinarian inspectors
will very likely pronounce them de-
cayed, and the horses consequently
worthless or unsound.h
