Ways to Treat BaIky Horses.

The following different ways Of treat
ing balky horses are recommended First,
pat the horse on the neck, examine him
carefully, first ON one side, then on the
other; if you can get him "A handful of
grass give it to him, and speak encourag-
ingly to him. Then jump into the wagon,
and give the word to 20 aud he will gen
orally obey. Second, taking the horse
out of the shafts, and turning him
around in a circle until he is giddy, will
generally start him. Third, another way
to cure balky horse is. place your hand
over his nose and shut off his wind until
he wants to 20. Fourth, then, again, take
a couple of turns of stout Irvine around
the fore legs, just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel it; tie in a
bow knot at the first click he will prob

distance you can get out and remove the
string, to prevent injury to the tendons
Fifth, again, you can try the following
Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs, and tie it by cord to the sad
lie girth. Sixth, the last remedy | know
Is as follows Tie string around the
horses ear, close to the head; this will

A quarter of glass of water drunk or
slipped slowly will quench thirst far bet
ter than full glass swallowed at a few
gulps. Try it once and be convinced,
The rapid swallowing of food and drink
is one great cause of dyspepsia among
Americans. Many severe and even
fatal Illness is caused by swallowing
large quantities of cold drink when over
heated, while by so doing thirst is often
increased rather than diminished. Stop
this unmannerly swilling, take a little
time to taste and enjoy what you drink
and YOU will not wish to 90 back to the
old hurtful ways. Where water is plenty
battle the hands and face before drinking
Though not so much as to chill the head
aud wrists keep the hair on top of the
head wet, and you will suffer compare

drink for summer, and a very refreshing
one for those who like the taste of hops,
is made by putting few hops in pail of

A Valuable Horse.

The sale Of the horses belonging to
the late Commodore kitts0u's stud, at
Midway, last Wednesday was a great

A hen should prove profitable in sum
mer at well as in winter, as she should
require less attention and care. Though
eggs may not be as high in price yet the
number received should be greater and
the cost should be less. Considering the
fact that care, food, and other necessi-
ties are lessened In cost the hen that laws
well In summer should give quite q large
profit. while 1t often happens that when
eggs are high the hens give no profit at

BEGIN ON THE COLT-There is no dan.
ger of handling and feeding the colt too
early. The handling properly should
begin as soon as the colt is dropped.
When two months Old halter it and
teach 1t to lead. The earlier this work is
begun after the colt is made docie by
handling, the easier it is. As soon as the
colt has become acquainted with the hal
ter, tie it up and rub and brush it. This
must be done gently until the colt is ac-
customed to it, and will submit quietly to
more vigorous use of the cloth and
brush. The thrift of the colt is wonder
fully increased by a daily grooming.
This extra thrift brings such a good re-
turn that the grooming is well paid for
1t pays to give the colt meal, wheat bran,
and oats as soon as it will eat them; and
it can get at them it will learn to eat very
soon. good plan is to put up box
behind or at the side of the dams stall,
low enough for the colt to reach into it
easily. In this put little bran anu meal
each time the dam is fed. The colt will
soon learn to eat this. when oats may be
added. You cannot begin to feed and
train the colt too early-American .4gri |

Feeding Chickens Like a Hen.

one of the troubles in raising chickens
with the patent breeders is feeding them
properly. A hen may not know much
but instinct teaches her how to feed her
little brood. She takes care that they
don't eat too rapidly. With dozen
mouths to ( Il she does not get a bite for
any one of her flock twice in succession
The result is that the chick has ample
time to swallow its food before taking
the second mouthful. Let the feeder
give out food by driblets, taking perhaps
twenty minutes or half an hour to feed
100 chicks and he may have as good sue
cess in making them grow as the hen

causes it to pack in the stomach and
