HOW TO EXAMINE A HORSES HOOPS.

HOW To EXAMINE A HORSE , HOOFS.
To examine the hoofs and heels of
your horses. says an eminent veterln-
airy authority, have the shoes removed
before your eyes, examine the frog"
look into it closely to see 1t 'thrush"
exists. Have piece of thin stick, or,
better all old paper knife, pass 1t
through the center frog cleft, then, if
thrush" exists, the ''nose' will know
it by the smell of the paper knife. Ii
thrush does exist, have the foot washed
out clean with warm water and car
bolic soap, then dry it off and apply
calOmel. Fix it in the cleft with some
medicated cotton, or raw will do. Re
peat this every night until cure is
effected.
Next examine the heels, the inside
heel especially, for corns may exist,
and now is the time to treat them and
prevent lameness in summer time.
when the roads are hard and dry, and
you have use for every horse you own.
Look for sand cracks and quarter
cracks. Let these have attention at
once, or the dry weather and roads
will open these cracks, creating trouble
some lameness. Have shoes well seated,
so that the weight of the animal will
rest on the horny wall of the hoof and
not on the sole. Never allow the wall
of the hoof to be rasped. II is wrong.
The outside of the hoOf is of fine,
delicate nature, made up of fine horny
pillars This outside surface is very
smooth and shiny, although it may
not look SO, but when you examine an
unsophisticated colt you will find it
so. The smith will get his rasp on it,
if you do not look out, and then we
have sand and quarter cracks.
Take care that the nail holes are
high enough without being too high,
at the heels most especially, for this
binds the hoofs and causes a horse to
go like a cat on hot bricks. A good,
firm clip at the toe is of great service
in keeping the shoe firm, and when
the shoe ''its the foot" it will keep it
III its proper place till worn out. -

FEEDING THE cows,

There is great deal being said and
written nowadays about standard ra-
tions for COWS, and much science is
brought into requisition to make those
rations correctly balanced to fit the
physical requirements of the COWS.
Every young farmer who hopes to be-
come successful in dairying should
study such tables and become accus-
toned to the technical terms, SO that
he will know just what they mean
wherever he sees them. Having done
this, he should learn the cost of diff
ferent cattle foods delivered on his
farm, whether raised or purchased.
Knowing this, he should then make
his own standard ration, and when
ever he cannot get the materials for

TOO MUCH WASHING.

Now and then as one looks over the
pages of the dairy paper they will be
confronted with the statement from
some one to the effect that flavor can
be washed out of butter, therefore
don't do it; and then the other
fellow laughs and says: ''Listen to
the old fogy." 1t is more than posi-
bic that there is more than Il grain of
truth in the matter, and butter can be
washed too much and that c)mpro-
mise can be struck to the advantage
of the two parties.
Not that it is known that butter fats
have 10 flavor, and what is known rs
aroma in butter is the result Of the de-
composition of the casein and sugar,
legged on" by the albumen, it is seen
that with very cold water and excess
sive washings, that the buttermllk that
has the flavor in It's keeping, could be
SO thoroughly removed that the fats
would be practically left destitute of
associated flavor. AS it would be i'm
possible to get out all of the butter
milk, the butter would III short time
develop another stock of flavor from
the traces of casein and albumen that
would yet remain.
In usual practice there will be suf-
ficient amount of tlavoring material
left in the butter after two washlngs,
and as q rule does not impair the flavor.
But this flavor means one thing In one
section, and quite another in a distant
part of some dairy locality. Where a
i ~ loo, i
ing should be given and full sailing,
but where delicate aroma and bouquet
flavor is sought, more washing and
less salt, and worked down to Il posi-
bic ten per cent. of moisture would be
the correct ''form. "-Practical Far

making that standard without paying
too much, he must look for substl-
tutes in kind and quality.
The ration, as estimated IS most
conveniently the food for twenty-four
hous for COW weighing between eight
hundred and one thousand pounds.
This much can be done with books,
and is a very useful part of the lesson.
The real test Of merit in this work
comes from the actual feeding of the
cows. The ratios may be most sci
entifcally correct, and fed In exact
proportions, and yet fail to produce
or return the first cost, which should
not have exceeded from fifteen to
twenty cents day per COW. The best
dairymen claim to make butter worth
fifty cents q pound on ration not eX
ceeding thirteen cents a day. But it
will be seen that when the ration costs
twenty cents, the COW must give at
least one pound of butter a day in
order to pay her board bill and do
much better this, If any money Is to
be made out of her.
With COW in good condition, fat
and fresh, and the ration properly
mixed, the test may be said to have
Just begun. The Individual charac-
teristics of each COW are not to be
studied. One will find big eaters and
small eaters, big mixers and small
mixers, rich mixers and those that
give thin, poor milk. All the viz
tues, or all the faults are not to be
=, al
average must be reached. For this do
as little guessing about them as pos
sible. Weigh the milk OF each COW at
every milking, and test the butter fat
in the milk often enough to learn
what her stan ling is. Now comes
the vital point Of how much to feed
her. Having learned this, the work
will not have to be repeated during
her life.
When ration is made to suit the
standard, then apply it to each COW i'll
turn. Note the cows weight, and
start with u small quantity of feed,
daily increasing it mp to the full
amount that she can be induced to
eat up clean. Hold her at this heavy
feed for few days aud see at what
point in the increase of feed she re-
turned the greatest profit. If you can
get no satisfactory result 5, then change
the proportions OF ration. If she is
very thin in flesh, increase the fat
forming parts of the ration. Keep ex-
perimenting with the COW until salts
fed that she cannot be made profit
able, then put her out of the herd.
One good way to determine what part
of the ration to increase, is to first
feed the COW about all she will eat and
then try and tempt her with handtuls
of bran, corn meal, oil meal, or what
ever makes up the ration, to see
which she seems to neel the most.
Such tests are never conclusive, but
they often lead to good results. The
point is to study the COWS. Each one
has different nature from the other,
and the only way to make money with
them is to get thorough knowledge
of each one and then treat each IN
such manner that she can return all
that she is capable of doing. To make
money one must have good cows, we'll
fed up to their extreme limit of profit,
and then make Il good article Of milk.

CHICAGO, September 8.-TSpecial The
Chicago Inter-Ocean's Illustrated Supple
ment, describing the great success and merit
of No-'To-Bac. has made it famous in day.
Mr.. H. L. Kramer, the active man, was
seen to-day at his office, As Randolph street
and in talking of No-To-Bac's growth, said
it was hard work to keep up with the rap
idly increasing demand, as every box sold
advertised No-To-Bac's merit
He said: "No-TO-Bac is not sold on the
strength of the thousands and tens Of thou
sands Of testimonial statements, but under
an absolute guarantee to cure or money re-
funded" That made a long story about
merit very short, as it absolutely protects
the user from physical injury or financial

ing will average $50 90 for every one cured,
or a grand total of $4,000. 900 saved from
going up in smoke and out in spit" No.
To-Bac, Is indeed, a God-send to the poor
man these hard times. According to the
testimonials, however, the money saving is
the least consideration, for almost every
one reports an improvement of the nervous
system, increase in weight, and a revival OF
physical and mental powers that is indeed
miraculous.
Prominent physicians look upon I.o-To-
Bac as a great success, and are very free to
prescribe it.
Every wholesale drug house in this coun-
try and Canada sells Not ,-Bac, and the re-
tail druggists are pushed to supply the de-
mands of customers the direct mail demand
is immense.
The cost Of No-To-Bac compared with the
results is a small matter, as the saving in a
week pays the cost of cure for lifetime.
No-To-Bac is sold for 81 box, or three
boxes, g. so, with a guarantee to cure, or
money refunded.
