FoI HORSES FETLocKs.

The legs OF farm horse should neither
be clipped or washed, if mudfever,
cracked heels and grease are to be avoid
ed. Carting animals are always predis-
posed to the latter from breeding, and
any want of care or attention results in
exciting it. Such crude methods in
cleansing rs driving the horAes into q
pond when they return wet and muddy
from work should be sternly prohibited,
as well as perfunctory washing and leav-
ing the legs wet. This brings the irri-
tating particles into direct contact with
the skin, and, by chilling the extremities,
causes the skin to inaame and crack.
The best plan of treatment is to scrape
off the thickest of the mud and put on
straw and flannel bandages, removing the
rest of the dirt by brushing when dry in
the morning. Horses take less harm
standing in thick mud-negligent as it
may seem-than remaining all night with
the long hair on their legs dripping wet.
But why not clip them2 Because this
deprives the skin of the legs of an eff
cient protection against the irritation OF
wet, mud and slushy suow.-Canadian

Not long ago we had a mare that
accidently struck nail deep into her
foot, aud being idle In tho stable OF the
time it was not discovered till the hoof
became much swollen and when the
blacksmith took off the shoe the foot
was in such an infammed condition that
he thought nothing could prevent gan

shallow tub was put into her stall, filled
with water, and the foot placed in it.
The inflammation was soon reduced and
the foot became sound. Bruises and
sprains are most aptly treated with water

protracted Inflammation. The parts
should be immersed in OF poured with
cold water and kept bandaged with
water, often changed, till the inflamma-

MULcHING.

Mulching is practiced to some extent,
but it is believed that the real advan-
tages are not fully understood. A
writer has said that after many years he
finds the advantages greater than he hal
formerly supposed possible. Some of
the benefits may be stated as follows:
1t adds to the humidity of the soil and
very greatly rctards evaporation OF mols-
ture. When of considerable thickness
it keeps down weeds, and when the soil
is not hard saves some hoeing. When
mulch is applied to raspberries, goose
berries and black berries, its beneficial
effects arc equal to the difference be-
tween good yield and complete fail
ure. In some instances mulching has
been applied to sweet corn and pole
beans after the first hoeing with distinct
success. But mulch need not be con-
fined to summer practice. Its applica-
tion in winter prevents frequent freezing
and thewing, and is therefore especially
beneficial In the case of fall set vines,
plants, trees, and shrubs, which adds
very much to successful fall planting.
Do not forget to mulch where it is de-
slreble. American Farmer.

Hov wera. U,sanrs.

Language Is the result OF ages OF
growth. Word after word has been
added to the previous stock-some of
knem new inventions, as new things
hsve been discovered or brought into
use, Others but peryersions or varia-
lions OF terms already familiar. Tho
process of matchmaking and word
transformation has been carried On,
not by scholars only, but by the COM
mon people, with the natural result
that many words have curious his
tories. AS writer in Chambers
Journal remarks, People must have
b words which they can understand and
recall" and they are not scrupulous
as to the means by which they obtain
them.
Take the common word "titmouse,
chickadee. The first syllable
means something small, and the two
together ought to mean a little
mouse. But the word was formerly
atitmose, "mose" meaning a little
bird. Somebody-there is no know
ing who-changed the name to "tit-
mouse" The new form tickled the
popular ear; by and by it was gener-
ally accepted; then the old and true
form went out of use altogether, and
the plural, which ought to be "tit-
mouses," became "titmice."
Long ago when a certain article
made of surgeons bladders came in
to use in England, it was known by
It's Dutch name "huizenblas," that ia,
Ssturgeon- bladder" The term was
meaningless one TO English ears,
and by some means or other was
transformed into the word which we
all know, @isinglass." The change
was precisely like that which in some
quarters has turned asparagus" into
@sparrOw-grass
In the same manner the old word
"berfry," which means simply a
watch-tower, was transformed into
"belfry." 1t became the custom to
hang bells In such towers, and by
common consent n change Of spelling
followed.
What Is the derivation Of the word
Ssteelyard"? Most readers would re-
reply without hesitation that it must
have been invented as the name of a
certain familiar instrument for
weighing, an instrument made of
eSSNAi ohb hoOuu OlllCC leCU III lcuB
In point Of fact, however, the word
meant in the beginning nothing but
the yard, or court, in London, where
the continental traders sold their
steel. In this yard, of course, there
was some kind Of balance for weigh.
,stng the metal-a steel-yard balance.
Language is full Of such cases.
~Blindfold" has nothing to do with
the act of folding something over the
eyes, but Is "blindfelled," or struck
blind. "Buttery" has no connection
with butter, but is, or was, bot
tlery, place for bottles.
A "blunderbuss" was not an awk-
ward or inefficient weapon, but on the
contrary was so terrible as to be called
q "donderbus," that is to say,
Nthunderbox" or "thunder-bar !"
The advance in the art of war is hap
pily-or unhappily- typified by the
fact that a weapon once so terrible
has become an object of ridicule.
VIII the world ever find our present
iron-clads and mortars nothing but
things to laugh at?

WATER TREATMENT FOR HORSES.

Our best surgeons now regard water
as an important auxiliary in treating
wounds. Lavements, pourings, wet
compresses, etc., are used for the human
subject; and water answers equally as
we'll for animals. Simple cut wounds,
when cleansed and dressed with water,
usually heal without suppuratlon, es.
pecially if the blood he in healthy
state. There being 2 tendency in oil
wounds to fever and inflammation,
water, dressings in the form of wet ban
dages keep down the natural heat, and
allow nature to go on with the healin =
process. The lips of the wound NAV
generally be held together with adhesive
straps and the water application nut
over it.. The most dangerous wounds.

healed with the aid of water to keen

DAT HULLS.

Every careful feeder of horses knows
that in feeding oats, especially the whole
grain, much depends on the character of
the hull or chaff. 1t is not always the
heaviest grain that gives the best results.
That which is much above the standard
weight has most often rough, gritty
chatf, that SO acts on the stomach as to
expel much of the grain undigested.
The hull, however soft its texture, is
always laxative, and moderate degree
of laxativeness is generally beneficial,
particularly to breeding animals. But
there is no gain in passing through the
heaviest grain in nearly whole state.
Better light grain if it will digest bet
ter. This matter is so ofton not thought
of that commonly the oats that sell for
the highest price are not the best to feed.

TEMPERATURE OF 1NcupAroRs.

An embryo chick, at most any stage of
incubation, can stand temperature Of
sixty degrees for several hours without
injury; whereas few minutes of 10Y
degrees or 10S degrees in the incubator
is sufficient to kill the entire lot. If the
breeder who complains of chickens al
most ready to hatch dying in the shell
in incubators, would turn on little
more cool air and let the egg chamber
cool off entirely for an hour daily, there
would be less complaints, and many
more strong, healthy chickens. From
1O2 degrees to 104 degrees is the proper
heat for incubation.-New York indie
