Wintering Driving Horses.


1t will be well to touch briefly upon
the way in which a great many men
have their drivers wintered The ma
jority of men who use their horses only
in the summer do not understand much
about them and have not that love of the
sport of driving which insures to their
animals adequate care at all seasons of
the year. In summer the nag is used for
all sorts of purposes, and when the chill
ly winds of winter begin to blow he is
sent to winter in some out of the way
place where board in cheap and attend
ance in accordance with the price charg-
ed. Grain is almost eliminated from
his ration. and the currycomb becomes
an unknown quantity in the daily life
of the horse. Cold water may or may
not be given in sufficient quantities to
supply natures wants, and altogether
the poor animal is in bad hands
There are hundreds of places where
driving horses are we'll cared for at
moderate charges, but the majority.
whose owners board them out in the win
ter, do not fare very well. An instance
is fresh in the writer's mind of gen
tleman who purchased a mare at one Of
the Chicago sales and drove her mile
i'll $3.50 to his top wagon shortly after
he got her. Winter came on, and dis
daining to place her with a competent
man her owner sent her to a farmer,
who gave her nothing but hay and wa
ter, and the mare died of impaction.
Purchasing aAother mare, this owner
went to the other extreme and sent her
to man who kept draft horses for sale,
with instructions to feed her highly all
winter. The mare took the collie three
days after she got to her new quarters
and died. This winter this gentleman S
driver has been in the hands of man
who makes business of keeping such
animals and takes the best care of them,
charging for their maintenance such an
amount as enables him properly to do
so. In word, men who do not want to
enjoy the delights Of sleighing should
place their horses with some one who
will feed them well and give them ex-
ercise enough to keep them in shape
This takes grain and help which cannot
be obtained without good money, and
the more that is paid the more good
care the horse will have so long as the
caretaker understands his business and
is straight i'll his dealings -Horseman

Live Stock Points.

The universal verdict on the horse
shows of the season is most satisfactory.
1t is that such splendid gowns were new
er before seen at horse shows
It is impossible now to buy share
Of the stock of the National Horse Show
association. This is the one that displays
hackneys and high jumpers at Madison
Square Garden. The annual New York
horse show is one Of the best paying en-
terprises in the big city. Ten years ago
1t was so poor that its stock was some
times offered in payment of debts it
had incurred. Its present tremendous
success is an index partly of how the in
terest in improved horse breeding has
grown in America, partly Of the increase
of wealth which enables fashionable So
ciety more and more to show off its
good clothes.
There are men and women who really
and truly have magnetic power to
control horses They themselves do not
know whence it comes, but a horse has
somehow instructive confidence in
them. These people are never cruel.

them. The gift comes by nature and
can never be wholly acquired by any
amount of effort Anybody can learn to
manage horses fairly we'll and intelli-
gently If he has sufficient pluck, but
your horse tanner is born. Perhaps one
secret of the power is the utter absence
Of fear of horse and the inherent
knowledge that one is its master.
O.W. Gleason says that if you 90 up
to a horse in a barnyard or field and
look straight into the horses eyes he
will follow you anywhere as you walk
backward. still keeping your eyes fixed
on those of the animal.
No one who does not love animals
should ever undertake the care of them.
The first pneumatic rubber tire was
made 40 years ago in England.
A nan who has tried feeding crushed
wheat to hogs says they like it very
much at first, but after time begin to
squeal for corn. Probably this stock
man fed the wheat in too heavy doses
in the beginning Any change of food
should be made gradually to avoid a
surfeit People and animals are alike
in this respect.
For driving horses and those that do
not work hard and constantly one
pound of linseed meal a day is sufficient
The wool sales of 1894 amount to
nearly 10000, 900 more pounds than
they did in 1898.
If you have not been in the habit of
feeding oilmeal to your horses, try it on
them in small quantities at first 1t is

Hog Killing Time.


Every season on many farms there is
. great bother through lack of conven-
fences for quick and easy handling Of
the hog crop The job of turning the
pigs into pork is made far more difficult
and expensive than it need to be- Co.
operation among farmers should secure
. full set of all needed conveniences in
each neighborhood where the number OF
hogs each farmer kills does not make ii
worth while to provide set for each
farm. We have often seen half day
occupied in killing and dressing three
or four hogs. On other farms, with
better conveniences. 20 hogs are killed
and dressed in a day. 1t is disagreeable
and dirty work, therefore the more need
for getting through with it as soon as
possible
Hogs after killing should be allowed
to hang overnight, and if slightly fro
zen in the morning it will be all the bet
ter. Do not, however, put the pork into
the barrel while it is frozen, as it will
not take the salt before spelling The
reason for this appears to he that freez
ing the pork fills it with air. which be-
comes filled with microbes which are re-
tanned in the barrel in contact with the
meat as it thaws. After the frozen pork
is thawed wash the pieces thoroughly.
taking care to get all blood out of them
Rub salt into them before packing in
the barrel If no blood is left in the
pieces and weights are placed over the
pork to keep it under the brine. there
will be no difficulty in keeping it sweet
an entire year To make sure it is we'll
toward spring to take the brine out and
boil it to remove any impurities it may
have gathered All the scum that rises
on the brine is evidence of what would
cause q good deal of trouble If left until
hot weather comes. American Guilt.

Chicken Lice on Horses,

An inquirer writes to The Rural New
Yorker as follows: Through some
cause or other chicken mites have got
into the barn and attacked black mare
that is a great pet of ours. We have
done all we can think of to eradicate
the mites, such as scalding the barn
with boiling hot soapsuds, with an ad-
dition of wood ashes, thus making a
strong I've, and carbolic acid diluted in
water. l have had the mare washed in
lukewarm water and carbolic soap at
least three times week when the
weather has been warm, but after all
the work done to either barn or mare
the mites seem to have the upper hand.
Can you tell me what to do with the
barn and not burn it to the ground, for
l believe that that would be the only
way to get rid of these minute pests?"
Answer. Several who have had sim
liar experience say that Persian insect
powder or buhach, sometimes sold in
impure form as an insect or fly powder,
is the best substance to use on hairy
animals which become infested with
chicken lice or mites. Get a cheap dust
blower, such as is usually sold with fly
powder, and blow the buhach into the
hair all over the body. Would it not
be more effective to use buhach water as
wash?-Ed. Do this thoroughly and
then cover the animal with blanket.
If a thorough application of this powder
(get it as fresh as possible of reliable
dealer) does not rid the mare of the
mites, l would be at loss to know
what to advise next, as the correspond
ent has tried several good washes. The
easiest and surest way to kill the mites
in the barn is to spray with a knapsack
or other handy sprayer thoroughly every
inch of surface. every crack and angle,
with kerosene oil, used undiluted or
made into an emulsion with soap, form
ing the well known kerosene emulsion
Dilute the emulsion oil only four or
five times. would use the undiluted
oil. as it would take but little anyway
and would save the trouble of preparing
the emulsion M V. Slingerland

Bayard has been prompted by the convic-
ton of james Frazier Jacques for obtain
ing money under false pretences to warn
Americans against being deceived by let
ters from Englishmen who have discov-
cred vast estates with transatlantic heirs,
and desire remituances TO 'defray legal cX-
penses." This has grown to be Il flourish
ing business. The ambassador concludes:
"The condition of law in this country does
not favor the division of estates, and the
statutes of limitation and repose rigidly
prevent the collection Of stale and anti
quated claims

was S6 years of age, and has always been

last of the nineteen Democrats who held
out against twenty-one Wings in that
epoch of state history in 1896.
