Care Of Horses.

The horses need more care at this
season, even if used but little, than they
do when at hard work in spring and fall.
Their hair is long, aud it is more work
to keep them properly groomed, so that
the pores of the skin may be kept open
for the passage of of the insensibe per-
spiration. When they are used enough
to sweat any, or when taken out in snow
or lain, it is more work to dry them Off
and yet if put into the stable while wet,
and the stable is not very warm, the re-
suit may be Gas it might be with man
who went to cold bed in wet coat
cough, pneumonia or rheumatism. And
they cannot be used much without the
long hair around the legs and ankles
getting filed with snow or mud, which
If allowed to remain there is net only
conductive to the above named diseases,
but also to the scratches
At this season every horse should be
thoroughly cleaned off after being used
in the winter more faithfully than he
would be in the summer 1t is not ad-
visable to have farm horse clipped, as
they are too often left to stand in the
cold while the driver is attending to the
business for which he has come out.
10 not neglect the shoes; see that they
are provided with corks 10 prevent
slipping, and if the horse is not used
enough to loosen them, or to wear them
out, they should be taken of and the
hoof cut away Just about as often as it
would be done if the animal was kept at
work. 1t is not an unusual thing to see
horses stumbling along on misshapen
feet, acquiring an awkward gait, and
perhaps taking risk of ofstraining the cords
of the ankle or foreleg, simply because
the shoes, not having worn out or be-
come loose, the owner feels that it would
be an extravaganza to have them reset
when they do not need it. They do not
think of the possible injury to feet and
legs by travelling upon hoof that has
grown out of shape.

Ninistnre orthe Earth.

The bulletin of the Storrs school agfi'
cultural experiment station contains dc.
tailed accounts of experiments on thu
effect of tillage on soil moisture. Eight
deep caves were filed with different
kinds of soil. Some had the surface
stirred to recorded depths and others
were let alone. All were repeatedly
tested for loss of water by evaporation.
The summing up, which follows detailed
figures, is as follows: "The lesson which
these experiments illustrate, and Others
explain more fully, is the value Of SUR
face tlllaSe. 1t is not simply for the sake
of killing weeds that the farmer hoes his
corn. Weeds are his enemies, but drought
Is worse, and the moisture is oftGu in
sufficient for full yield even when no
drought is apparent. The soil has re-
serve stores of water for his crop, but in
summer the supply gets low, and the
same force of capillarty which brings
it up to where the roots OF his plant can
get it, carries it past them to the surface,
where the suns heat changes it to vapor
and winds bear it away. Hoeing and
cultivating loosen the upper layer of the
soil. The pores through which the water
is drawn up are thus enlarged, and the
connection between them is broken
capillary action is consequently hindercd
and less water passes through. At the
same time more air enters and the
loosened layer conducts less heat to the
soil beneath. The loosened layer acts as
a cooler, while it prevents the water
from reaching the surface, and thus in a
twofold manner protects the rising
moisture from evaporation. In this way
the wise cultivator uses the forces OF
nature to bring water to the roots of the
plants and at the same time to prevent
its passing by them and escaping into
the air. The water is freighted with
plant food part of it dissolved from tho
soil about the roots and part deprived
from the air above. So the crops are
nourished and the yield to the land in
creased.
