FACTS ABOUT HORSES.

EVEN in winter the horse is, better
for outdoor exercise.
TEACH horse what you wish him to
do and he will always do it,. ~
IT is said that men working in livery
stables are exempt from cholera.
BECAUSE prices are low is no reason
for starving or neglecting. horses.
THE horse shows have done much to
develop enthusiasm for fine horses.
ABROAD only geldings are used for
city work and the brood mares are kept
on the farm.
ATTEMPTING to drive smoothashod
horse over slippery, icy roads is the
cause of many accidents
lF the young stock are not thrifty
when they go in to winter, we doubt if
they will come out thrifty in the spring.
The shrinkage of value of horses last
year is estimated to be over $25, 900, 900,
and the total loss in falling off OF
prices will no doubt aggregate $50, 0oo,-
600 since the commencement of the
present depression of values.
THE manner in which horse stands
still is one of the best indications OF
soundness. If he stands with his legs
straight and well under the body there
is not much the matter with them. il
he favors a limb or straddles before OF
behind, examine him carefully.-N. Y

Tho Fowls at the Rarn.

We can learn lesson by observing
the fowls in the barn and stable..f Why
do they love the barn? First, a barn
is usually warm and comfortable, and
next the hens find plenty of scratching
and picking in the refuse hay and hay
seed. The same thing can be given
them in the henhopse. Have it warm
and closed at night, but something like
an open shed during the day. so that
the sun can send his warmth, upon
them, and provide some chopped hay,
or find refuse for them to scratch in,
and the result will be that the % hens
will be more contented, and will not
fail to do as well as those that seem to
lay at the barn.-Prairie Farmer,

N EARLY LAMe RAISING.
Some Valuable. Hints from nm Old Hand
mt thu Rusinesa. y. u

Mt tho business. y "
There is money IN early lambs u you
live within easy access of Some good
market and have n natural grass farm
Lambs do not bear long Transportation
and twelve To twenty hoirs isas long
as 4 they should be en-. route to MARKET
Begin BY purchasing a flock of twoT
yeaI,old sheep say Augusta, after
their lambs ore, .weanedi about half
Southdown and half Merino, or natives.
Give your Hook good pasture, ana avoid
all excitement of dogs andt noise, and
get your sheep us familiar with you by
quiet and kindness as possible, giving
them salt twice week, and when VIM
ter first sets IN take them from pastuts
and have a~nice large, dry yard con
nccted with 'your sheep sbarh' fenced
with four-foot board fenee, and then
three-foot wire netting on the top,
so that dogs can't get in to bite or scare
them. , ass III. 80 49,,
Have the barn dry and warm, but
not too tight, and with windows open
ing to the south for sum-. as. sheep like
that in winter, and small room in ono
end made quito tight and warm by cell
ing inside, filling in with isawdust SO
as to avoid frost, in which TO keep your
grain, salt, etc, and also as place to
put your ewts'afew days before they
drop their lambs, and also few days
after, till they aud their lambs are
strong enough to be placed with the
flock; and movable partitions in this
room are very useful, SO that it may be
divided into two or three or more parts
as necessary, in case sheep does not
do well Or fails to own her lamb land
here let ME say sometimes a dog tied
in one corner will effect cure Of that
fault in few hours. If you can have
a spring or very small streams in the
yard do so, and if not you must water
from well, once a day will dol till
near Landing time and then always
twice.
Now as to feed: Sheep farmers al,
,ways raise corn: and they wish to feed
some stalks in early winter, but they
should be cut and cured early and fed
once day only, and at night feed hay;
and supposing you to.have fifty good
ewes land that is all ever should be
kept in one party, and twenty-five is
better, feed at night onefourth bushel
of sound whole corn, and you may grad
ually increase this feed SO that by Jan.
uary 10 you, are feeding one-half a
bushel;. after this time add good sound
oats gradually, so that by February i
you are feeding half a bushci Of each
per day and if you have good; early cut
fine hay, natural meadow or clover hay
together with one bushel of carrots OF
roots of,some sort, this is grain enough
and your sheep will not require a great
amount of hay, and only feed Just what
they readily will take, as many farm
ers make their sheep dainty by feeding
too much hay; better keep thema LITTLE
hungry for hay.
And now about the care ofyour lambs

HOW TO CARRY A MUFF.
Jeweled Chains Are Used by Some, Simple
RIhhnns by Others. -

Jeweled Chains Are Used by Some, Simple
Ribbons by others -.
The various methods of carrying the
muff are bcwildering. One time ,the
fiat goes forth that no string, chain, or
ribbon should be used and consequent
ly women start out and with charming
abandon lay their muffs down in any
convenient spot that may happen to
be. This is very common occurrence
and rumor has it that the costly fash
ion of wearing jeweled chain passed
through the muff and hung about the
neck was started by suffering hus-
band, who had paid ten times in one
winter reward for the return of his
wifes priceless sables, The muff chains
in some ways resemble the lorgnette
chains, but are q little heavier. : They
are of gold studded with pearls, or
even tiny diamonds, or Of platinum,
with silver dots where the pearls are
in the pearl and gold chains. Some
very handsome chains are of heavy
gold links, which are passed twice
around the neck and through the muff..
These without saying are expensive.
A fiat band of ribbon, black Or cblored
with tiny gold or silver buckles, is a
very smart little finish and also cap
ital plan for holding ones muff. The
ribbon is generally of watered black
or brown, only the very young girls
wearing bright colors. Cords-the silk
cords are entirely relegated to little
children and women no longer go
about looking as if their heads were
in immediate danger of being sawed
Off They now leave that to their lit
tie daughters.
Some few women who like to have
touches of originality in their costumes
tie broad satin ribbon around the
neck and through the muff, A white
ribbon on black costume tied in this
| fashion does have somewhat a smart
effect, but fresh ribbon should be
used each time, for the slightest dust
or crumpled appearance shows upon it
at once, and once for all spells the
picturesque effect. Tortoise shell links
were attempted for muff chains, Fsay
attempted because the fashion died at
its birth. Very fortunately, for it
really needs soft materials or gold and
silver for such purpose.
The lace muffs or the muffs with
lace ruffies about the hands look best
with gold or silver chain. II is well,
by the way, to bear in mind that'noth.
ing makes the hand look prettier than
lace. Its softness seems to bring out
all its beauties and to make it look
much smaller than il really is, and q
muff made of lace or chiffon held on
with a gold or silver chain studded
| with diamonds or pearls is about rs be-
coming and as handsome an addition
to any woman's toilet ms can well be
imagined. IN. Y. World.
