Farm QUESTION Box.

A. A. N, Dyson. Ca; have fine young mule
badly swinnied Have tried blowing up shoulder,

other remit dies. Now am bathing in hot salt and

readers and ask for light.
What passes under the name Of sweeny is
far from always being the same thing. There
may be inflammation OF the deep seated tissues
OF the shoulder, causing lameness and less use
OF the leg and this disguise will be followed
by shrinkage of the shoulder. Sometimes the
shoulder joint is the seat Of the disease, and it
will be followed by like results. Sometimes
the trouble may really be in tho foot, or some
part of the leg the animal does not exert the
limb In consequence, and the muscles of the
shoulder shrink. II, after thorough examina-
ton, you find there is no trouble in foot or
joints below the shoulder, blister the shoulder
freely with the ointment Of biniodide of mer-
cury--one part of the mercury TO eight of
lard. Rub well on the part suspected to be in
trouble, dress with lard after blister forms, and
repeat application once week, till relief or
failure becomes apparent

FARMS AND FARMERS.
SNORT Talks WITH TIE MEN VINO
GUIDE THE PLOW.
Many Questions About the Farm Answered
by DIR. w. l., Jones, Formerly of
the Southern Cuitiyator.
Winter Feeding Of stock.

Last week, the value OF proper shelters for
stock was discussed. We endeavored to show
that shelter was to certain extent an equiva-
lent for food-that a well protected
animal would eat less than one
freely exposed to the weather. because
IL had less heat to generate to keep up
its bodily warmth Attention is now asked TO
the feeding Of animals in the winter. The
proposition may be laid down, that in case of
milk COW, unless she Is fed enough to produce
coed yield of milk, 1t is poor economy TO
keep her through the winter. Quite a large
quantity OF food is required TO keep up the
animals body that is to keep it from losing
ieshto supply the waste attendant upon
respiration, motion OF the heart, ETC., that Is
simply TO maintain the life of the animal. The
food thus consumed is very properly called the
maintenance ration" No profit comes out of
this maintenance ration, except that 1t keeps
alive the machine. which by the aid Of other
food is TO do some profitable work. The more
food COW can consume and digest and turn
into milk, over and above her maintenance
ration, the more profitable she is. Being big
eater is, therefore, objection to a milk COW,
provided She can digest and assimulate her
food, and convert it into milk 1t follows also
that it is better, with given amount Of food,
TO feed IL all to two cows, affording them all
lhey can Consume rather IMAM 10 uiVlue III OUT
between three, supplying only the maintenance
ration for the three, and leaving none to pass
into milk.
The principle applies equally to animals in
tended for the butcher. The increase in
weight, if any, is due to food consumed above
the maintenance ration. This increase
may either be i'll form Of new
tissues GROWTH or in form of fat The
food consumed by an animal every day in
which it does not increase In wheight, is
virtually lost We fear that on the southern
farms there Ia great deal of this kind of loss
The tendency is to overtask, to keep as many
animals can be carried through the winter
alive. In many instances, even the mainten-
ance ration Is not allowed them; the daily
waste is not repaired, and the animal loses
flesh and ygor, perhaps dies, and the verdict
is died of the "hollow horn" The most
profitable practice is to portion out the stock
Of food on hand, not TO the largest. but 10 the
smallest. number of animals. Keep just MS
few animals as possible to have all the hay,
straw and other forage on the farm consumed,
and these literally supplemented, too, with
wheat bran and cotton seed meal.

Salt Water and Milk in Her Veins.
From the BuIIalo Courier.

A woman (at the general hospital last week.
had serious operation performed, and after it was
all over she began to grow very weak from the
shock. At IL o'clock at night life was low that
the pulse was scarcely TO be felt and rather I'M
only for time. Then pint more was injected,
aud one of the doctors drove of rapidly 10 milk
man, and had him fill some warm clean bottles
with fresh milk for which the cows had JUST been
MIXED. The bottles were put in warm water, and
upon arrival at the hospital, pint of the warm
milk was injected into the circulation and shortly
afterward another pint. This made three pnts of a
saline solution and two pints of milk. still the
patient did not permanently revive, and a last
resort, a transmission of small quantity of human
blood from the arm of one of the doctors was
made All of the efforts of the physicians were in
vain, however. and the woman died twenty-four
hours after the operation.
