exit and runs away out into the lot. The
pigs can all be penned however. Ham

American Mutton Sheen.

Henry Stewart, who is recognized as
among our first authorities on sheep,
says that our American mountain sheep
have the same kind of mutton, and when
crossed by South Downs their meat is
quite rs good as that of the English
sheep. a North Carolina mountain half
breed South Down pasturing in the
woods and fattened upon the chestnuts
and acorns in the fall is equal in every
respect to the best English mutton sheep,
and no American shepherd need &c
further for desirable location or better
sheep for mutton. But, as Rural New
Yorker very timely remarks, one can
not have everything in one sheep, and
when wool is wanted mutton must be
sacrificed, and vice versa, for the best
mutton does not carry the most profit
able fleece. If we follow the English
methods, pasture the flocks upon rich
meadows, feed in the fall upon turnips.
and finish with cotton seed oil meal, wo
may have mutton equal in every respect
TO that of England.

"StOpping" Horses Feet.

Horses that are used on hot pavements
or other situations which induce n hot,
dry condition of the feet, require special
treatment to palliato the evil. This gen.
orally consists Of filling the concave sole
and all the space within the shoe at
night with some moist substance The
most usual material for this purpose has
for n long time been fresh cow dung.
either alone or mixed with clay. While
no one can question the value of the
practice, the substance named is utterly
unfit for the purpose. Strangely enough,
it is recommended by many eminent
veterinary writer's, though all admit
that it is fruitful source Of thrush
One of these, after stating that thrush is
caused by the horse standing in
its own dung or other filth, recon-
mends wrapping with COW dung
as palliative! Another, equally emf
nent, remarks that it should be FUSED
with great caution where there Is any
disposition to thrush" As if there ever
was horse without such disposition"
II its feet are kept in contact with filth.
Professor Law denounces the use Of this
substance by implication in sentence
He gives as the causes Of thrush, "Ex-
posture to wet and filth; standing on dung
or in dirty, wet yard: stuffing the feet
with COW dung" etc. Then why fill the
feet with the filthy, corroding stuff? A
clean and inoffensive material is made
by mixing linseed meal with an equal
part of clay and wetting the mixture to
the desired consistence. This accom-
plishes the object, without danger of un-
pleasant effects, says American Agricul-
turist

just how the American people come to
prefer the breeds with yellow legs is not
known, says Prairie Farmer. but that
they reject the best table fowls and select
the inferior, by judging from the legs
ard color of skin only. is fact. They
do not reject the turkey, however, which
has dark legs. yet they pass the Lang
shan chickens by, and that. too, when
the Langshan is the only fowl that has tho
same color of legs and skin as the tur-
key, and which approaches nearer to the
turkey in other respects than any of the
yellow legged breeds known.
In England no attention is given the
color OF the legs and skin, but if there is
any preference mt all, it is for the white
skin and light legs. By breeding for
quality, instead OF color, the English
produced the Dorking, which ia one Of
the best table fowls known. possessing
plenty of breast meat, with but very
little offal. In France the Houdan Is
considered grand table bird, along with
the Crevecnurs and La Fleches, but
these breeds have dark legs and are not
appreciated In this country. The French,
like the English, depend upon quality OF
flesh and full breasted carcass, while wa
in America base our Judgment entirely
upon the color OF the legs of the fowl,
whether it be goose, duck or chicken, the
turkey alone being excepted.
Barn yard fowls are provided, as well
as, and very much like, wild game, with
a protection against wintry weather, but
domestication seems to somewhat deteri-
Orate blood circulation, SO that our poul-
try are more liable to freezing than the
wild feathered tribe. But i'm providing
for comfort in the hennery, it should be
borne in mind that with fowls, as with
fruit trees, or with human beings, injury
is to be apprehended from sudden transi-
tons of warmth by day. followed by
cold at night, as well as from excessive
severity.
In case of using stove in poultry
house, great caution is essential to guard
against excessive heat i'm the day time,
and the fire going out mt night. Even
ness of temperature at a little above the
freezing point is desirable, and a well
built house, impervious TO the chilling
Manitoba wave," is better without a
stove than one with many cracks and
crevices with stove Even fowls with
large single combs, if in fair health, will
not freeze in good, tight, well kept
poultry house, without artificial heat,
where the thermometer outside is as low
as 10 dogs. or 20 dogs. below zero. affirms
the authority quoted.

Enru Fences.

Following are "a few notes on fencing
from American Rural Home. worthy OF
note:
In order 10 reduce the cost OF farm
fences to the minimum, put up only such
rs arc nece'r' AIRY for practical purposes
The best TIM. for fencing is when other
work is not pressing, and the farmer who
contemplate fencing should take ad.
vantage of IT, Movable fences are indis.
pensable whcr1 the farm is divided into
n few fields only. Movable fences that
cen bc adjusted 10 any angle desired are
less easily affected by wind than those
set upright, and they turn stock more
effectively than any other.
When putting up wire fence stretch
the wire tightly and sec that the corner
posts are firmly braced. The corner
posts ought not to be set less than three
feet deep. We prefer cedar posts 10 any
other. After having tried several va.
rieties of wood for posts, VIC find that for
durability there are none superior 10
cedar. Posts cut i'm the summer are
more durable than those cut H. the
winter.
