LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

Ovrrfeeding causes balky horses.
With the farm horse the walking
gait is essential.
You can spirit your horses tenn
per by losing your own.
Do not allow manure making
materials to go to waste,
A patch Of rye sown in good sea-
son makes good winter pasturage.
1t is not good economy to feed all
kinds and all sizes of hogs together.
Profit depends as much on the
cost of production as on the selling
price.
If allowed the privilege sheep
will always take all of the exercise
they need.
1t is not good plan TO allow
sheep to be exposed tO cold rain
at this time.
There are few enterprises in
which there is as small risk as in
sheep raising.
If early lambs are wanted, the
breeding should be done now as
soon as possible.
1t Is a waste of feed with any
class of stock to give more than
they can digest.
Upon the condition of the stables
largely depends the health of the
horses.
A diet plentiful and healthy, but
not excessive, modifles the size,
form and temperament of animals.

REMARKS ON STOCK.
Ring the bull before he is year
old if you would have him handled
easy.
Market the hog as soon as it is
ready to market. It is an expensive
business to keep him longer.
The stable should be kept sweet.
Sprinkle le it all over with one pound
of chloride of lime in five gallons
Uf water.
The m ule is good deal better
animal than is usually reckoned,
and its breeding has paid well in
the past. For farm work the mule
is excellent.
The man who will turn his COWS
out so that they will break into the
pasture of neighbor who owns
thoroughbred bulls is more econom-
ical than honorable.
That the hog is looking up was
shown at combination sale re-
