deep? have a large quantity Of WYhiteogak
ashes. Would they improve the land Tor
vegetables, and what quantity would be
most beneticial-one-half inch, one inch or
two inches. ] hope 10 see your answer in
time to be governed by it.
The ashes Uould be a good application,
but one-half inch would De too much. After
spadmg up the ground, twelve inches is not
too deep. then spread a coating OF the ashes
sufficient 10 cover the surface lightly with
the ashes, which viii require. say one-half d

valuable mare that since l brought her
to this climate becomes sick by overheaJ-
ing or Il little hard work. When she is
sick she wants to roll. Is it bots and
what is the remedy?
o. My chickens within the last month
have black SCabs on their combs with sWoI-
len eyes; can you suggest 4. remedy?
% Your mare is probably troubled with
Indigestion from some cause, bat it is inn
possible to say, with any certainty from
the meager description, what IS the mat
ter. 1t is not bots, for it is rare that
they cause any Pain. 1t is always q good
rule when you cannot locate the cause or
exact character of the ailmcnt OF u horse
or other dumb animal, TO change the food.
Stop giving corn or reduce the allowance
of corn one-half, and substitute oats. (-)

meaaer. You don't say whether THEN
heads become sore, or whether there IS
any discharge OF matter and its character.
1t may be chigoos, or it may be 'Toup,
which is incurable. Grease the COMBS
and all exposed parts OF the head Look
