CARE OF HORSES,

The Massachusetts, Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
makes the following suggestions as to
the care of horses
Keep your harness soft and clean,
particularly the inside of the collar
and saddle, as the perspiration, if al
lowed to dry in, will cause irritation
and produce gals.
The collar should fit closely, with
sufficient space at the bottom to admit
your hand collar too small obstructs
the breathing, while one too large
will cramp and draw the shoulders into
an unnatural position, thus obstructing
the circulation.
Never allow your horse to stand on
hot, fermenting manure, as this will
soften the hoofs and brings on diseases
of the feet; nor permit the old litter
to lie under the manger, us the gases
will taint his food and irritate his
lungs, as well rs his eyes.
Do not keep the hay over the stable,
as the gases from the manure and the
breath of the animal make it unwhole-
some.
Kindness will do more than brutal.
ity, therefore do not use harsh Ian
guage to your horse, or lash, beat or
kick him. Bear in mind that he is
very intelligent and sensitive, will
ling servant and deserving of your
kindest treatment and thought.
Remember that horses are made vi
cious by cruel treatment; that is is
speed which kills; that more horses
are lame from bad shoeing than from
all other causees that careless ap-
plication of the whip has blinded many
horses that more fall from weariness
than from any other cause, and that
no animal should be ever struck upon
the head.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Jack Frost loves green corn. Cut

Are you going to try to winter fif-
teen cattle on scant food for ten.

Proper moisture is more essential
than fertilizers, for there is always
some plant food left in the soil. Proper
drainage and the supply of humus, by
turning under copious vegetable crops,

THE DUCK HOUSE

Ducks lay the larger portion of eggs
produced by them early in the season,
and lay nearly every day. During the
summer months they reduce the num-
Der of eggs very materially and begin
to moult. 1t is supposed that any
kind of quarters will answer for ducks
in summer, but when il is considered
that they do not roost and are COM
PEELED to rest on the floor, the import
ance of keeping the floor clean and
well litcred with straw is apparent.
Nearly all the ills that nfllict ducks are
due to the floors upon which they re-
main at night. While the duck de-
lights to have access to ponds, yet il
is quickly affected by damp quarters,
becoming lame and unable to walk.
If they are laying but few eggs, it is
best to turn them on grass and use no
grain, and they will keep in excellent
condition. They are greedy feeders,
and will accept food at all hours, be-
coming too fat. This condition in
summer is not desirable. They should
receive but little grain unless they are
laying, and the grain should be given
only to the ones that are producing
eggs. Manchester Mirror and Far

A Witty Old Doctor.

A correspondent sends us a story
told of an old country doctor down
East. In the latter years of his life
his ankles became very weak, necessi-
tating the wearing of pair of steel
braces. One day, as the old gentle
man was shuflling along on Exchange
street, in Bangor, Me-, some young
wag called out "Hi, doctor, hi, you
are interfering! Not with other
folks business, young man !" retorted
the doctor. Medical Record.
