Horses Teeth.

A very observing farmer said to us
not long since that he was convinced
that not one farmer in a hundred I'M
derstood q horses mouth as he
should. He had helped a number OF
his neighbors by his knowledge in this
matter when their horses were out OF
condition and the owners had no idea
that the trouble was with the teeth.
A veterinary authority gives the fol-
lowing as being some OF the SYMPTOMS
OF arrangement OF the teeth of one
kind or another: Sabbering and
frothing at the mouth, weak eyes or
partial blindness, boiling the grain
without grinding, stopping short while
eating and dropping the grain from
the mouth, pudding the hay, turning
the head on one side while eating or
after drinking cold water, loss OF appe-
tite, loss of flesh, tender mouth when
being driven, carrying the head on one
side, pulling on one rein, nasal gteet,
swelling or abcesses about the jaws,
ETC., and the horse is allowed to suffer
on for months and often dosed with
strong medicines, when an examina-
ton by a competent man would have
relieved the true cause of the difficult
ty, and a few minutes work on the
horses teeth would have relieved the
animals suffer ngs and enhanced Its
value to the owner as well.-Cbicago

SpectaCleS for Horses.

The 'Optician' confirms the story
that well-known firm OF opticians in
London manufacture specially-con-
structed spectacles to be worn by
horses. The object is to promote
"high stepping" Horse spectacles we
learn, are made CT stiff leather, quite
enclosing the eyes of the horse, and
the glasses employed are deep concave
and large in size The effect is to give
the ground in front of the horse the
appearance OF being raised; the ami
NAL, therefore, steps high, thinking he
is going uphill or has to step over an
obstacle in front OF him.
when the animal is young the effect is
said to be marvellous. Many horses,
it is alleged, could be materially i'm
proved by visit to the optician, and
it is recommended that the sight of
all horses should be tested. This par
ticularly applies to valuable hunters,
which are found OFFICIALLY unfit for
their work, when Il little artificial as
sist ance would make them as useful
as ever. Apart from this considera-
ton, many vices, it is believed, might
be cured by means of eyeglasses. The
cause OF shying is, as a rule, short
sight.

English by Sound.

It was in one OF our schools the 9TH
ar day where I picked up the following
thrilling composition written by a
twelve-year old girl, which is one of
the best pieces OF English as she is
"spelt" that have yet seen: "a right

with rough round his neck, fue up

Watering Horses.


This is a subject on which there is
still great deal OF controversy al
though most horsemen are agreed
that an unlimited supply is the best,
providing an animal is in good health.
An animal under these conditions will
not take too much, but when we take
into consideration how many stables
are so fitted as to allow OF this being
carried out it is practically out of the
question, the more so from the
fact that horses are out on long jour-
neys, coming home hungry, thirsty
and fatigued.
Seventy-hve per cent OF the animal
body is composed OF water, and it is
essential 10 the maintenance ofhealth
that this proportion between the fluid
and the solid constituents be main
tanned. The secretions and fluid ex-
cretions are constantly tending to re-
duce the fluid parts below their nor
NAL standard, and at no time is this
made more apparent than after long
and active work, the loss resulting
from increased perspiration and res
piration.
1t is at this time that popular opin-
ion would withhold water until the
animal cools down. Now l hold that
it is just at this time when an animal
is warm in all its clrculative parts
with an active circulation, that it is
best able to resist the cooling effect of
a draught OF cold water. The stom-
ach being empty, the fluid passes into
the bowels and is rapidly absorbed,
thus supplying the necessary fluid to
the blood, without which the various
secretions necessary to digestion could
not be maintained
The most dangerous time to give a
horse a full draught of cold water is
after he has cooled down from IA
tiguing work and has partaken OF
meal The comparatively small stom-
ach OF that animal is replete with en-
ergy, the circulation weak, the ex-
tremities cold the whole system lang
uid, and not in a state calculated to
resist the chill. The water mechanic
ally washes the III digsstsd food from

Rape is crop that has been but
little grown on this side of the Allan

largely as green fodder for fattening

gested that it might prove of value
here as well as there, and now we are
glad to state that it has been tested

Get Yourself a Home.

The following from the Mirror and
Farmer applies to any portion OF the
country: young man, start out in
life with the determination 20 secure
a piece OF land which shall be a home
for yourself and children, if you should
have any, and inculcate the idea that
it is to remain in the family through
q the future generations. The time
will never come again when land,
except in special cases and under dis
advantageous conditions, can be
bought as cheap as it can now. The
land owners will, in the comparatively
near future, be masters of the situa-
ton and the aristocracy of the
country, in class distinctions are per-
mitted to exist in form or fact.
Opportunities for acquiring possess
sion OF land are presented now that
will never be offered again. Get your

Valuable Hints.


The way to have healthy COWS IS to
feed and care for them right from calf
hood up to maturity.
Keep a supply OF charcoal where the
hogs can help themselves; it will help
maintain good health.
Do not let the COW shrink her milk
only as she must, in accordance with
natures laws, in reproducing her kind
in her offspring.
No man who has given the subject
consideration doubts that the next
few years will witness the extensive
development ofthe beet sugariudustry
in this section OF the union.
One reason why some farmers never
seem to get entirely rid OF bog cholera,
is that proper care is not taken to
disinfect the premises, and the disease
germs are never entirely destroyed.
In feeding make difference be-
tween full grown hens and ones that
are still making bone and muscles.
The ull grown ones will fatten on
what will barely keep the younger
ones growing.
II the weather with you is as with
us you may be tempted to turn the
stock out to wander over the fields
1t will hurt the grass land, do the
plowed land no good, and will be OF
but little benefit to the stock.
Milk cans should be washed in cold
or tepid water first and then rinsed
in boiling water before they are ex.
posed to be aired. The addition OF a
little soda and borax to the hot
water increases its cleansing proper
ties.

The Mary Dyke Whom We Knew on

New YORK, March Gle who wan

ly Greenwood Cemetery may read many
a romance If he will apply the calm test
OF investigation to the history OF these
distinguished dead. Not many days
ago famous actor strolled through the
quiet paths and bywayS OF the sleeping
city. He was not beut upon an aimless
mission. His curiosity, exhibited in a
minute and prolonged inspection OF
tombstones and iron slabs, was not
the idle curiosity of the lOiterer or the
sightseeing rustic. He was engaged in
search OF some Importance,
plainly enough, and as the
hours rolled on and found him
still peering az family Ineligible in
scriptions, they also found him at last
arrived at the object OF his pilgrimage.
For this actor had travelled from Eng
land to seek for history in an American
cemetery. and he had gathered up the
threads OF a most romantic and re-
markable life. When he quilted Green
wood he carried with him the knowl-
edge, the first accurate knowledge, too,
OF the death and burial OF an actress
who once held sway on two continents
who was the first in all the long line OF
great American actresses, who was once
beloved by that sweet singer and gentle
poet, Tom Moore. and who, marrying
thrice, loved but once, and then stead
tasty even unto death.
This woman, as we read in the chron-
icles OF her time, was the greatest and
grandest actress OF her day. The most
graceful pens constantly sounded her
nraises: the most DISTINGUISHED auditors
for years clapped their hands In delight
when she trod the boards. II she had

have been long aud imposing. Yet she
died without sign that she wished for
eulogy, and, indeed, she went out OF
life under an intentional and methOdical
anonymity. Under the lowly stone

are Mother and Grandmother"
