UNsoUNDNEss OF HORSES.

The horse is our most useful animal
and yet comparatively the least cared
for, if one is to Judge by the number
of these animals afflicted With unsound-
ness which little care and thought on
the part of their owners might have
prevented and might even now, in
many cases, cure. -
Horses are liable to contract thrush
in the frogs from standing in manure
and urine, and yet their owners will
persist in stufing their feet with dung
in order to keep them moist. Why
not use linseed meal poultice, which is
safe and beneficial as well? In addi-
ton, change the feed or turn the horse
out to grass. There would be fewer
lame horses if this point were seen to.
Sprung knees is another form of un-
soundness which generally has its
source in heavy toe-weight shoes or in
standing too long on hardwood floor.
Turning the animal out to grass and
re-shoeing it with overweight shoes
will effect cure if taken in time.
Curbs and puffs are other defects
which can easily be avoided with lit
tie thought. Avoidance of strains is
all that is necessary. Sweating, blis-
tering and compressors will generally
remove curbs. Puffs are more difficult
to deal with.
Attention to these points will keep
the animal in good health and enable
him to do the work for which he is
kept. 1t will also enable the farmer to
realize more for the horse if compelled
to part with him, for the keen-eyed
buyer readily detects these blemishes
and drives bargain accordingly

BONES AS FOOD.

There is no doubt about the value
of bone meal for promoting the growth
of chickens; but for old fowls, to in
crease the egg supply, fresh bones
crushed or ground up should be given
occasionally. The fresher they are
the better, because there is always a
certain amount of fatty animal matter
about them which is highly nutritious,
and this is not to be found in the or
binary bone meal. The bone food
should only be given occasionally, not
more than twice week at the outside,
and in pieces not larger than a pea

DRENCHING HOGS.

The most successful manner OF
drenching hog is to turn the an
imal on its back with head up, and
after administering the drench, pour
warm water in the nose to make the
hog swallow. There is another easy
way. Put the hog in a crate, tie q
string around his nose, and he will sit
down. Have cows horn ready with
the medicine in it. When the animal
ceases to squeal insert the horn in his
mouth and he will drink readily

Found Quite Advantageous.

some Hints Which, IL Followed, VIII BE
Found Quite Advantageous.
The following Is series Of hints ia
young singers and would be singers
which have been received from one OF
Bostons well known musicians;
Start under the right instruction. 1t is
far better to begin right in middle life
than wrong in youth.
Study everything carefully, for whats
worth doing at all is worth doing well" /"
| Cultivate refinement in all things The
tastes. inclinations and tendencies Of the
singer, whether refined or coarse, are un-
avoidably made manifest in the inter
probation Of the music she sings.
Keep up with the events Of the world
in a general way, but while studying
music live in an atmosphere of music,
Concentration is the secret of many a
singers success.
Sing everything as the author wrote
it, for one should be as truthful in music
as in history.
Plan your mode of living and hours
for eating, sleeping and exercising accord
ing to the manner in which they affect
your singing.
Throw your whole soul into your sing
ing. Live in the song while you sing it.
The sympathy and interest Of an audi
ence are most frequently gained by the
sincere. soulful and truthful rendering
of a selection.
Cultivate animation, warmth of spirit
and coloring in rendering your songs.
Train yourself to be cool headed and
collected when singing.
Sing without notes when possible. You
can produce better dramatic effects and
hold your audience better by so doing.
Don't try to study music, art and sci
ence all at the same time. Select one
and do that we'll.
Don't think Of making music your pro-
fession unless you have more than or
dinary talent for it. The musical pro-
fession is always crowded with perform
ers, except at the very top. where there
is always plenty of room.
Don't think of makingmusic your pro-
fession unless you have plenty of money |
to give yourself the best possible musical |
education.
Don't think that training in execution
and technique of the voice only is suf-
fcient. The professional singer should
be perfect reader and well schooled in
counterpoint and harmony.
Don't think the life Of successful
singer is easy. The more successful the
singer the more she becomes a slave to
her profession.
Don't makea practice of humming. 1t
tires the voice.
Don't practice long at time, especial
ly if you are just beginning. tis much
better to practice little and often.
Don't eat just before singing. A hearty
meal several hours before and light
refreshment just before You
sing are much better.
Don't drink wine for stimulant. It
is not only drying to the throat, but is
100 strong a stimulant. A person needs
to be especially self composed when sing
ng.
Don't indulge in mannerisms and
,atchy originalities in rendering your Sc
ections. A natural manner and sincere
inging are much more pleasing and de-
irable. Boston journal.
