be expected to give way. Parts incom- pletely formed, but growing into the strength and stamina they are intended
 one day to possess, cannot bear even the
 usage which to adult limbs is but health ful exercie; and, therefore, it happens
 that four or five-year-old horses, pre- | maturely taken to be riden or driven
 hard, exhibit bog spavin and thorough
 pin so frequently and now and then | wind gals as well. In fact, the young horse. and in particular, such a one as is 1 coarse and long limbed and large jointed,
 when taken into work may be said to be the especial subject of bursal or articu-
 lar swelling, and 1t is rare when such swellings have once become developed, particularly bog spavin, for him to get
 rid of them. They remain as evidence l of his having been ''put to work too early" and are apt to operate on the
 public mind to the depreciation of his value.
 With wind gall or bog spavin, when
 once filled to distention, there is not
 much likelihood of absorption of the efiused fluid taking place, though in young and unworked horses bursal swellings do, now and then, in the l course of growth, with repose disappear.
 In adult and worked horses, however,
 windgalls, although they may diminish, l rarely completely vanish; and once form l ed they generally, uAder continued work, become chronic, for months, years, per- l haps, remain in statu quo.
 Wind gall is rarely productive of lame- ] ness, so rarely, indeed, that horse per sons in general look upon such swellings, | frequent as they are in horses of all ages and kinds, with degree of complacence which denotes all absence of apprehen- 1 sion in their minds on account of such l blemishes. The treatment of wind gall,
 unless lameness arises from their pre- sence, is matter little needed by pro- l fessional persons; it is very apt to be quite unsatisfactory. In very young 1 horses this trouble can be alleviated and
 and often cured by proper support and l pressure to the parts affected.
 l We do not hesitate to say that, in our 1 opinion, backed by long experience, the most judicious treatment for windgalls in very young horses is the application of medicated cotton and an electric-tape
 bandage. By this treatment you car
 bring a great amount of pressure tt bear upon the parts without obstruct
 ing the circulation and may form adhe
 sions and hasten the absorption of tht
 fluid. It is certainly worthy of a trial il

SHEEP IN APPLE ORCHARDS.

J. 5. Woodward of Lockport is widely known for the successful treatment of his orchards through the aid of fiocks of sheep, and for the fine crops of fruit which these orchards bear annually. In public address given at Grimsby Park in Canada, he stated some of the details of his treatment, from which we have ob- tained the following.
 He remarked at the beginning that ap- pie growing had become one ot the most important Branches of horticulture, and that there is no way in which the same quantity of human food can be obtained from land as by planting an orchard on 1t, and that there is no food better for mankind than the apple. He spoke of the neglect in management, and said the owners had taken crops from their or chards, removing crops of grain and of hay, and returning very little if any ma nure to the ground to replace what was taken away, thus literally starving the orchard to death. The greatest need of the orchard is fertility ot soil. The ques- tion is, how shall we give it? If an or chard is kept in complete and thorough cultivation, it is too expensive.
 Sheep, if properly fed, will keep down the weeds and grass, eat the fallen ap- ples and add very materially to the fer
 
 ally overrun with insects, which are null tiplying on every hand and are more de- structive than ever. Among them are the caterpillar, the trypeta or maggot, borer, etc. The spraying pump will sub due many, but one little fellow that bores through the fruit right and left we can not reach by spraying the trypeta. The only way is to destroy the fallen apples containing 1t as soon as they drop. The apple grower has no better assistant than sheep. To use the sheep to advantage, there must be a sufficient number to keep the grass grazed short. A ten-acre or chard must have hundred sheep, and smaller in proportion. Put in twice as many as the lot will pasture, with a lib- eral addition O. grain or bran. 1t costs $3 week to feed 100 sheep, and with this money buy 250 pounds of bran and an addition of meal. This will give them 90 pounds day, or one-half pound for each sheep.
 Three special objects ase thus obtain ed. The sheep are the best insecticides, and will exterminate the codling worms, and all the apple maggots that fall. They crop the weeds and enrich the soil with their dropping. The spraying pump fails to accomplish a part of these, and the machinery costs more than that of the sheep when already owned.
