LIGHT SHOES FOR YOUNG HORSES.


The most careful horse breeders are
agreed that the lighter the shoe and
the less it is worn the better. In re-
cent address before an English agrl-
cultural society, Professor Axe dis
cussed the subject, deprecating the
laundering management of the feet of
horses Often fine animals are ruined
hy being caused to wear their shoes
too early and too long. Standing in
the stable long time is liable to
cause lameness, and could be avoided
by taking off the shoes and Bubsti-
tuting soft leather. Red-hot shoes
should not be applied to the foot of
the horse at any time.
In blowing, cultivating and many
other farm operations q horse will
walk ten to twenty miles day and
advances about four feet alta step. At
each step the horse lifts half Il pound
extra on its two feet, 6G7 pounds i'll
every mile. In days work Of fifteen
miles, the horse would lift 5000 pounds
extra or nearly five tons. II the force
required to lift this five tons of iron
could be expended in the work the
horse is doing, much more could be
accomplished. In the light of these
facts is it any wonder that when young
horses begin to wear shoes they soon
become leg weary, have their steps
shortened and acquire Il slow walking

WASHING OF BUTTER.

The advantages of washed and I'M
washed butter are being discussed IN
England. Too much washing is ad-
mitted to injure the flavor, but little
water is generally used. The Swedish
and Danish butter makers who supply
the English market get all the butter
milk from the butter by repeated
pressure. This requires a good deal
of work, while washing the butter
simplifies the matter greatly. Some
Of the best English dairy makers never
use water. In this country we believe
the use of it is universal. Our dairy
men may learn something from the
discussion, which may give them some
new ideas on the subject.

KEEPING DUCKS AND GEESE.

The advantage of raising ducks and
geese over turkeys and chickens is,
that If they can be given the range of
good pasture with plenty of water,
they will need less looking after. They
are hard Y, easily raised and require
less expensive food than other poul-
Try. To this may be added the fact
that IN nearly all cases they are
healthier, being less subject to disease
and free from lice An additional
source of income is their feathers
They lay eggs, hatch young fowls, and
yield n good quantity of feathers, and
can, with good treatment, be made
profitable. OF course with either it is
always best to have the larger, better
breeds. Embden geese and Pekin
ducks cost no more to raise than the
other kinds, while they return a much
larger profit. ...-.--

with the ducks after they commence
