SPRING CARE OF HORSES.

The teams, for the work Of seeding
and heavy blowing should be at once
put at moderate work to harden the
shoulders TIE horses work for the
first day should be doubled on The sec
ond day and followed every other day
afterwards for a fortnight, by three or
four hours work. TIE loads to be
dra IN should also be increased from
time to time. The condition Of the
roads is TO be taken into account in
loading the wagons, OF course.
The young, unbrOkeD colts are to be
handled with great care. Tae lumber
wagon with the stout tongue is the
safest thing to use for the first twenty
days' work, in the case Of unframed
horses. Very little, if ans load, should
be put on a wagon drawn by green
colts during the first ten days of york.
This Is especially important il the
ground IS vet and soft.
The brood mares if already well
broken to work may be worked mod
erateIy, and will be improved by the
work, wen up to the day CT foaIiug, if
handled carefully. A half days work
during the week previous to delivery
Is the safer rule. Heavy pulling or e
fast walking gait over soft ground or
wet roads should be avoided. A place
by herself-a box stall al night-should
be provided for thirty days before the
brood mares date of delivery. Her
food should be of the kind to regulate
the entire system and give tone to the
nerves an organs Of digestion. No
pains should be spared to furnish every

s THE DAIRY.
o FOR H cow.

In a talk on this subject by G. E,
Chapman, at Belvidere, n. J., he said
The temperature of the COW is about
ninety-eight degrees, and a COW will
drink from seventy five to one hundred
pounds of water a day. Her tempera
ture should be kept as nearly sven Gs
possible. Tnenatural food Is the voget
able food. Grass Is soventy-fVe per
cent. water. Grain aud timothy hay
alone are not the best food. There is
not enough water in them. I5 requires
s~ucculenU 70 d for health. II the bran
is cod more grain should be fed and
not go much ~succuient food. Corn pro
duces heat. Feed the COW for health
There is no better fead on earth for the
horse, for speed, than cats, They act
on the nervous s. stem. Liusaed Oil
meal is good for the COW, but the sys
tenn must have water il you e pect
milk. If the thirty pounds Of milk q
day shrink5 TO twenty pounds from
some cause, you can't get her back
again.
You turn ont your COW tco early in
the spring ard don't house her early
enough in the fail. Here is where the
care, the feed, the water comes in. The
COW must have other dry food and hay.
Beets, turnips and cabbage are good,
but the two latter will spoil the butter.
Cabbage makes lots Of milk, but bad
butter.
The speaker dzelt at some length
upon the benefits to be derived from
the ensilage system and claimed that
the results were good. Oil meal III feed
will make butter soft in summer and
cotton meal will s5ften in winter,
while malt sprouts will fill the butter
with beer. The effect Of good oCd is
very great on butter. Succulent food
in winter, such as eDsilage, IS very
beneficial. Corn fodder is very nourish
ing, but not pal8table. E1silage is corn
put in such shape that the COW likesi+.
One ton of timothy hay has $50 pounds
of vegetable fibre that the COW cannot
digest. This leaves 1890 pounds OF
cow food. Ole acre sowed with corn
gives ten ions Of corn and fodder, and
is very much more profitable than SO
much dry food.
The speaker concluded by giving the
farmers some excellent advice as to the
care, treatment and feeding Of their
COWS if they would get good results.

SOUND BREEDING AMIN

Itis very important to have all breed
ing animals vigorous and thrifty. Too
much care cannot be exercised in
selecting thoroughly healthy and vigor-
GUS animals for breeding. There are
quite a number of diseases thai are
easily transmitted from paEez5 to eff
spring. l. is hardly good economy 70
breed and secure diseased ofspciDgs
when with a little care and no Increase
in cost, perfectly souzd offspring may
Oe secured.
1t will occasionally happen that a
crippled animal can be used for breed
ing when it has been crippled acci-
dentally. Bat when the trouble arises
from disease, and especially if it be
hereditary, the animal should be dis
carded entirely as a breeding animal.
If a COW has q defect in her udder.
in a majority of cases the same defect
will be manifest in her heifer calves.

A late number Of the American Cul

dairy market reports, has the follow
ing to say in relation to the quality of
butter:
Western ~creaneries take the lead
1T the present time, ara when put IN
packages suited to the Boston trade, in
some instances brings more than
N3rthern butter"
Is this owing to the possibility that
Western dajrymen feed more corn
meal 10 their COWS than Eastern farm
ers, thus adding to the fire flavor Of
the butter, which this is supposed to do?
O5ber conditions should not be more
favorable unless the weather should
hsppen to be milGer.
Authorities usually object to the
feeding Of much corn meal to COWS
giving milk, as too expensive for their
purpose, but there is no doubt about
its adding q fine flavor to butter, and
this is what is wanted especially in
cold weather.
