On the sharp, frozen ground the
colts may break their hoofs especi ally
if they are not kept trimmed down,
and unless some attention is given to
the matter misshapen hoof will de-
velop that can never be converted into
a we'll shapen one. Sometimes a hoof
is SO broken off at one side while it re-
mains long at the other that the ten
dons of the leg are strained. A badly
misshapen hoof is almost sure to make
the animal awkward, and perhaps ill
gated. The way to prevent annoying,
and possibly serious results, is to keep
close watch on the colts hoofs and
shape them up as often as oc casion
demands. 1t is important to use care
and good judgment in this work. 1t
will very rarely, if ever, be necessary
to pare off the sole of the hoof; and
if ever this work is done, it should
be done with the greatest care, and
the frog should be carefully avoided.
Except in possibly very rare cases all
that is necessary is to cut off the edges
of the hoof. This is best done by set
ting the hoof on solid plank or other
smooth, level surface, and with a
chisel cut down and through the edge
OF the hoof, cutting of excessive
growth, and leaving the edge of the
hoof as regular as possible. This trim
ming OF the hoofs is good training
for the colt. 1t will soon learn to
have its hoofs handled and trimmed

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
CHOPPED GLOVER FOR HENS.

Hens have too much grain and too
much of other concentrated food in
winter. They are usually fed with
some green vegetable when anything
in the vegetable line is given to them.
This is good in its way, but it is not
the best food. A head of cabbage
hung upwhere hens can peck at it will
soon be devoured, but the cabbage is
not the best producing food.
Chopped clover hay given in small
amounts daily will be greedily eaten.
1t will furnish more of lime for the
egg shells than any kind of grain ex-
cept wheat. 1t will prevent the birds
from fattening as they are apt to do
if given all the grain needed to satisfy
them. Boston Cultivator.

Camel Breeding.

The scientific principles of breed
ing, which have done SO much for the
development of our domestic animals,
have been made to reach out and in
clude the camel, with the result that
there has been produced in Australia
race of camels larger in frame,
sounder in wind and limb and pos
sessed of greater weight carrying Ca
pacity than the Indian animals orig
inally imported.
There now about ten thousand cam
els in Australia, and their value in the
arid districts can hardly be over-esti-
mated. They have permitted the open
ing up and stocking of new country,
which was formerly incapable of being
utilized, because broad belt of land
that is either waterless or liable to
prolonged periods of drought inter.
vened between the good country and
the settled regions, whence all sup.
plies have to be drawn and where all
products must be marketed.
By reason of economy and efficiency
the camel had superseded the bullock
team, and camel wagon transport, un-
known both in Asia and Africa, has
been developed IN Australia, the ami
mails being yoked in teams of eight,
just like bullocks. Camels possess the
great advantage of being able to travel
in that arid district for three weeks or
longer without drink of water.
Forty years ago number of camels
were brought to the United States for
use in the arid districts of Arizona,
but the scheme proved failure and
was abandoned. New York World.

LAND FOR GARDENING.

Truck farming or market gardening
calls forth the highest skill. The
land must be made .'fat, as the
Scotchman would say, and then kept
SO by applications of five or ten cords
OF good manure per acre or even more
every year. For some crops for
year or two at time 1t is often found
profitable to substitute commercial
fertilizers wholly or partially for sta
bic manure. But if commercial ma
nures are used exclusively the supply
of humus in the soil will soon be
exhausted and must be supplied by
the plowing in of green crops, such as
clover. Of equal Importance with high
fertilization is high and extensive cul-
ture. Keeping down the weeds is not
enough, but the presence of perpet-
ual mulch of fine dry earth an inch
deep upon the entire surface of the
ground is to be worked of. 70 this
end the onions, beets carrots and tur-
nips are to be repeatedly hoed, and
the cultivator is to be run between
rows of cabbage, celery, potatoes,
corn, etc., once week or oftener.
To prosecute trucking with great.
est satisfaction the operator must not
depend upon supplies of moisture as
they naturally occur. He must be
more Independent of the influence OF
variable seasons.
To keep the land in good condition
and raise good crops year after year,
rotation must be followed. 1t Is not
the right thing to grow one crop year
in and year out on the same land.
Take the land at the sod, plow and
plant corn or potatoes. The next year
it will be in good shape for beets,
turnips, carrots, tomatoes. One after
the other of good garden crops may
thus be 'raised-San Francisco Chron-

CULTURE OF SAGE.

This crop is quite profitable one,
as it is in regular demand by house
keepers. 1t requires rich soil to give
profitable yield, as does, in fact, any
crop grown for selling in the markets.
The seed is sown in April in seed beds
and the plants are transplanted in
June or July into rows of twelve inches
apart, and eight or ten inches apart
in the rows. The soil is kept we'll
cultivated, and, by the middle of Sep
tember, the harvest is begun by cut
ting out each alternate row, a plant
making at this time two punches. The
rows left grow quickly into thick
bushes, and are again cut as before,
leaving the rows four feet apart. These
plants are cut before the winter, when
they make a third crop, altogether
yielding satisfactory profit. The
last crop need not be sold at once, but
may be punched and hung up for sale
later, or it may be pressed into small
square packages. and sold in bulk in
this way to the dealers during the
winter, or even in the spring New

Swallowing Alive.

The recent incident at the Zoologi-
cal Gardens, London, when boa nine
feet in length swallowed companion
of eight feet, has recalled many Won
derful stories of similar kind. A few
years ago python of huge size seized
a boa, and would have swallowed it
entire but for the energetic exertions
of Mr.. Bartlett and of the keeper OF
the serpent house. Several cases have
been narrated, sometimes by eye wit
nesses.
Mr.. Wells, the Marine Superintend-
ent of the Brighton Aquarium, in
letter, says that "fshes are as often
notable for extraordinary swallowing
as snakes and reptiles. Some years
ago there were three large pike in one
of the tanks here, from eighteen to
twenty eight pounds. The pike of
twenty eight pounds swallowed his
companion of eighteen pounds, but
tho victim proved too long for him, so
the tail projected out of his mouth.
After several days, as digestion went
on, the whole of the tail disappeared.
Last summer a conger eel swallowed a
large dog-fsh and kept it down, though
it was swallowed tail first, which is
very unusual with fishes.
Many will remember the curious ad-
venture at the Brighton Aquarium,
when dog-fish swallowed large oc-
topus. The octopus was in the adj
joining tank, and during the night
climbed over the glass wall in search
of prey. A dog-fsh seized and swal-
lowed the formidable intruder. The
specimen was for many years exhib-
tied, but has now disappeared, posi-
bly, from the cost and trouble involved
in preserving the contents of the i'm
mense jar. Public Opinion.

The feeding of ducks too heavily
will retard their laying, and as some
OF them will begin to lay in January,
it is important to use care in that re-
spect. Too much grain will cause
them to lose the use of their legs, and
this will happen to the females more
than to the brakes, as the latter will
not feed as eagerly as the others. The
food should be bulky, given twice n
day. Cooked turnips, thickened with
mixture composed of equal parts of
bran, corn meal and ground meat,
will prove all excellent diet, allowing
them all that they will eat. If turnips
cannot be obtained, use clover hay,
cut very fine and scalded, allowing it
to remain over night to soften. Weak
legs indicate not only that the ducks
are overfed, but when the quarters are
damp they will sometimes Get the
rheumatism. 1t is best to allow them
to run out for exercise when it can be
done, and their quarters should be
clean, with plenty of cut straw on the
floor. Farm and Fireside.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Keeping the nests dark will often
prevent the hens from eating their
eggs.
Air.slaked lime freely used in the
poultry quarters will destroy unpleas-
ant odors.
Two weeks is long enough to make
a fowl fat if highly fed with fatten-
ing ration.
If orchards are to be made profit
able, they must receive as good care
as other crops.
Good tillage increases the available
food supply of the soil and also con-
serves its moisture.
Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to success. Trees are i'm
patient of wet feet.
Thelate- matched turkeys can nearly
always be given fresh range much
younger than those hatched earlier.
Where the poultry are allowed to
shift for themselves and are given the
range of the farm they often prove a
nuisance.
Dry earth is the best deodorizer
known. 1t is also the best absorbent
to preserve the manure in the least Of
fensive way.
Well drained lands are drier in wet
spells and moister in dry spells than
other lands. They can be worked
earlier in spring.
The mulch should not be removed
until the danger from heavy freezing
has all passed. Then the sooner it
can be removed the better. This is
generally quite early in spring.
Trees should be made to send their
roots deep into the soil, ny order to
fortify themselves asainSt drought.
This is done by drainings soil, and
by plowing the orchard rather deep.
Small trees are easily injured by
high winds if the soil is made very wet
by excessive rains, as they will be
shaken and loosened in the ground.
To prevent this they should be staked.
Both for summer and winter, mulch
ing is extremely valuable, and by
studying the causes to which it can be
put we are but initiating nature in her
benefcent work of protecting the
plants from an untimely death.
In the dry season mulch prevents
many plants from dying and prolongs
their life in thrifty way for future
fruit bearing. Stirring the surface
soil of plants acts as a mulch. This
is one of the best ways of applying it

How to Keep an Alligator.

To those among our readers who
may think of keeping an alligator, a
brief description of the best way to
house him may be useful. Procure a
good-sized box, say two or three feet
square, and baking pan about half
the size of the box, to hold the water
(which should be changed every day
or two). Then cover the floor of the
box with sand. Put glass or wire net
ting on two of the sides and on the
top of the box. Glass is better. be-
cause it retains the heat in the box /;
but you must be sure to freely admit
the air.
For food, raw meat given on a
straw, to seem alive, flies and worms,
and small live fish form an alligator's
favorite diet. But as he is not demon
strative, his air of content is apt to
lead one to neglect him unless special
care is taken. Remember that the
alligator is accustomed to the heat of
Florida, and keep him in warm room
during the winter.
