FARM NOTES

HoRsE-STABLE FLooRs.-''A clay
noor was adhered to by some for years
and such was the earnestness OF lts
advocate and the many arguments
brought to bear upon II, that i was In.
duced some twenty years ago to try It.
In three or four months 1 had the
planks back again, being satisfied OF the
Disadvantages Of clay for this purpose.
Our present floor of plank is inclined a
little from front 10 rear, where the
usual gutter is made to carry on the
liquid voidings- We do not believe IN
sand. coal-asheS, sawdust, asphaltum,
nags, cobble- stones, or any OF these
modern devices to iniure horses. Thus
far we have never noticed that this
little inclination was in anyway injuTl-
Gus; and we doubt whether the wooden
grating that we frequently sea placed
over the planking that some use, would
be advisable on the ground that the
animal would be more comfortable,
while this movable grating, or second
door, might lead to accidents. When
a person can keep horses in a good,
sound, healthy condi ion for five to
seven wears, as we have done on a care
fully constructed plank flooring, iuclin-
ing little to the rear, it is just as we'll
to be satisfied with it. Do what one
will, holes will be dug by the stamping
Of the feet in the clay, and these Will
be filed with moisture, which will ne ,
cessaIily result in scratches quarter
crack, etc. If the clay is levelled off
and beaten down daily, it will make no
difference Some time ago we inspec-
ted a number of stables where many
horses were kept, and we encountered
only one which was composed of any
thug but wood. OF course there will
be new things-inventio s-spIinging
up, which are to meet and overcome
every objection, and there will be some
to adopt them, but we shall be satisfied
with what we have until there is some
thing produced about which there will
be no mistake"

not to corn u inding, nor to carry two

not afford to grind thirty-cent corn for

not censurable. Two or three pounds
a day is all l desire, while ten pounds
of meal in total Is enough grain.
