Canadians In the United States.

IL has been remarked that Canadians
now form more than ten per cent. of
the total foreign born population in
the United States. The exact figures,
as given by the Toronto Globe. are
oSO,o3S out of a total of 9,249, 938.
Tho only countries which head Canadn
on tho list are Germany, which con-
tributes 2,7S4, 1874, and Ireland, with
1871 800. There are in tho United
States more natives of Canada than of
England, or Of Norway, Sweden and
Denmark combined. The growth of
tho Canadian born population has
been as follows: From 1850
TO 1860. 1O2. .259; from 1860
to 1870, 24S,49i; from 1870 to 1880,

England, with 2ii.932. The census
shows that tho Canadian movement
has been mainly to tho north
Atlantic states, which now contain
400, 299 Canadians, aud the north Gen.
tral, 401. .GG0; tho Southern States
contain 8. 1873, aud the extreme Vest
ern states, 75,48i. Coming down to
particular states we find 207,G01
Canadians in Massachusetts and 93,-
1913 in New York. In Maine, of a
foreign born total of $4,000, not less
than 52, 200 are Canadians. In New
Hampshire, of $4,000 foreign born,
45, 900 are Canadians. In Vermont,
out of $4,000 foreign born, $4,000
are Canadians. In Michigan there
are lSl ,4l6, Chicago has 24,297 Cana

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

steady price.
A dark stable IL the best protection
against the horn-fY.
Farmers should plant a quarter of
on acre in sweet corn.
One of the best investments for the
farmer is the purchase of a good
bull.
1t is poor policy to attempt to keep
cows in pasture where there Is no
shade.
Marbles in cattle can generally be
squeezed out, but sometimes a sharp
knife is needed.
Jersey cows produce more butter
from a given amount of good food
than any other breed.

feeding OF calves. They are gener.

KEEPING HORSES SOUND.

IL Is surprising to fluid how large h
proportion Of the horse one secs on
the road, the street or the farm are
more or less affected with unsound.
ness. Ono of the most commonly
met with in road horses and farm
horses is what is known as the sprung
knees. In many cases the trouble is
but slight, and little noticed, and
owners are loath to acknowledge that
the horse is not al right But keen
eyed buyer readily detects the trfling
defect ut the start.
What causes such a tendency to
sprung knees in horses it is hard to
tel One of them, we fancy. among
driving horses of the trotting class Is
the tendency to have them shod with
heavy too weight shoes. This seems
to tire the muscles of tho front part of
the forelcgs and in time wcakens them
so they do not keep tho legs in place.
Another cause of sprung knees is
allowing the feet to become tender or
out of shape from bad shoeing, so
that the horse flexes his knees to re-
iieve tho strain on tho lower tendons
and on the heels. Standing still too
long on hard floor stall is said TO
cause sprung knees. After all these
things have done their work and the
knee becomes springy or arc weak and
trembling, IL is difficult matter to
effect cure.
A seasons run at grass often re-
suits in comparative cure. And the
best way is to keep tho animal sound
from the first by avoiding whatever
causes a tendency to the disease and
only needs the exercise of some COM
mon sense and good care. Avoid
keeping the horses idle on hard
floor. Shoe with even weight shoes.
keep the feet cool and free from filth
and there Is little risk from sprung
knees. Another common unsoundness
which spoils the appearance and sale
of many good horses, especially those
on the farm, are curbs and puffy
joints.
Both of these, like sprung knees. are
at first very slight. and 1t is difficult to
decide what is wrong. Cu-bs can
generally be removed by sweatins,
biistcrs and compressors. But puff.
and thorough-pins are difficult to cure,
and even if kept down long timc are
apt to reappear. To prevent tho APP
pearance Of curbs and pulls avoid sub
jecting the animals to violent strains.
