Care of Horses.

Good light is most necessary for horses.
1t is no more pleasant for horse to be
kept in a dark stable than for human
being 10 lie confined in a dark room. 1t
is very trying to the eyes when a horse
is brought out into the light Dark
stables are often the cause of blindness.
Ventilation is also most important not
n draught from open windows or doors,
but properly constructed ventilators in
the ceiling to carry off foul air, which al
ways rises and floats about near the
ceiling The temperature of stable
should not be over seventy degrees or
under forty-five. So says among other
good things on horse -caring) a writer IN
the Montreal lTitHSos.
Speaking Of equines here are some
directions for tanning, taken from erich
on Artistic Horse Shocing,n which may
(and may not prove trustworthy: "To
tame a horse, halter him and then take
the warts from his leg dry and powder;
then blow it up his nose, Then take
oil of arodium, drop few drops in your
hand and rub it over his nose. This
will make him follow you, and you can
do anythingyou wish.

Fnrm and Garden Notes.

Liberal manuring on grass lands pays
well for itself.
Hen manure and wood ashes both
benefit strawberry plants.
A number of farmers report excellent
success with uncut silage.
Fine wood ashes busted on shrubs are
a protection against various insects.
Feed generously still, and do not turn
farm stock out TO pasture too early. 1t
Is bad for the animals and the pasture.
Don't let insect pests get the start Of
you. Much trouble is saved by begin

A farmer living rear Walthourville,

LaYcring Crane Vines.

One of the surest methods of propa-
eating grapes is by the layering process,
very simple method that can be learned
in very few minutes by any intelligent
observer, and one that is especially valu.
able with hard wooded varieties, like the
Northen Virginia or Cynthiana, which
do not grow readily from cuttings. The
following from a correspondent of the
Prairie Baimer, is eminently practical:
The layering of grape vines may be
done from the first of June until Septem-
Der. Select long and flexible canes of
last years growth for the operation
those which start from near the ground
are preferable. As soon as the laterals,
or side branches, have attained a length
of twelve inches, work can begin. Dig
shallow trench from four to six inches
deep; lay the base of the vine down first;
remove the leaves at the base of the
lateral, then with a sharp knife make
slight inclsiOns on the under side of the
vine, when lald down, near aud on each
side Of the joints from which the laterals
grow. 1t is best to hold the vine firmly
down by small wooden hooks, cut from
any convenient tree or brush pile. Pro-
ceed in this way toward the top or
younger part of the cane. When the
laterals are too small to project six inches
above the surface, leave them to make
some growth, and later in the season fill
the trench with fine, mellow soil, pack
ing firmly about the base of the lateras
with the hand and being careful not to
break them, as they are the future vine
when you have grown roots to them.
Roots emanate from the joints of the
cane, and from them only. II the weather
is favorable, with plenty of moisture, the
layers will have good roots by October,
and can then be taken up and cut apart
for next springs planting.
