winter Caro- of Farm Horses.

No farmer can afford to do otherwise
than give his horses the best of care
during the winter months This does
not imply undue pampering in any
case, but simply such care as will keep
them in good, thrifty condition-pot
overly fat, neither poor and discouraged
looking, with hair standing the wrong
way.
Farm horses should be comfortably
stabbed in winter, but not all Of the
time. On pleasant days they should be
turned out in a suitable yard or small
pasture. II the yard is so situated as
to be sheltered by buildings or stacks,
there will be but few days too disagree
able for the horses to have their out
door exercise. Our barnyard is located
north and east OF barn, with cattle
shed on the west, and is protected on
the north by a dense grove of box elder
trees, but, in addition to this, we have
for several years built long rick OF
hay just outside of the north fence and
arranged to let most Of 1t stand until
the weather had moderated toward
spring.
1t does horses so much good to get
out and roll and kick up their heels
and sniff the pure air, that it really
seems cruel, and certainly does not pay,
to keep them confined in the stable
all the time, day and night. On the
other hand, 1t is no less cruel and I'M
profitable, when the regular field work
is done in the fall, to turn the faith
full animals out to ''rustle" for them
selves and seek shelter and food as best
they can along the fences, around old
stNawstacks, etc.
While it may often be expedient to
let colts trough it" to some extent, the
wide, clean, comfortable, well-bedded
stalls should be at the service of "Dick
and Dan"-the farm team-whenever
they will be better of therein than out
of doors. Aside from any pecuniary
gain or loss, it is a great comfort Of
winters night as l lie between the
warm blankets and listen to the storm
without, to know that the horses, my
companions in labor. are as comfortable
as a clean, warm stable, good food and
plenty of bedding can MAKE them.
Horses should, IL possible, be induced
to lie down much at night Ours in
variably do; we often find one or more
down IN the morning, and they do not
always spring up the moment the door
is rolled back either, as it is our aim
to give them feeling Of confidence and
rest when in the stable.
For several winters past we have
cleaned the stable out regularly twice
each day, the manure and soiled straw
being thrown in the yard, and from
there hauled upon the farming land.
Some seem to think it a great waste to
bed horses so lavishly, but we con-
slider it great saving, to say nothing
of comfort and cleanliness.
On most farms straw is abundant and
cheap. Great stacks are allowed to rot
down while the horses are compelled
to lie upon the bare floor, the hair of
their bodies and benumbed limbs alb
sorbing liquids which should be alb
sorbed by thick bed of straw, and
with it conveyed to the manure pile
next morning.-Geo. G. Petit in Ohio

Berry growing, like market garden

Too much land is the bane of most

Success would be more certain if acre

Intensified farming and concentration

bore out success.
Take counsel from books, papers, and

Actual knowledge and practical eX-
perience should go hand in hand.
Let the beginner commence mode

Use limited variety of best plants,

When one acre has been mastered,

An Embargo on sheep.

| AS stated in the Advocate some
months ago, the British authorities
have been strongly urged by those rep
resenting the breeding interests there
to pass an act of parliament fixing
slaughter Of cattle on landing as a set
| tied policy. A recent cable dispatch
states that this is now to be done, and
| also that sheep are to be included. For
months past references have been ap-
pearing in old country journals show
| ing that they regard very seriously the
competition from America. Our Mon
treal market report in this issue states
that Canadian shipments of sheep have
this season run up to over 100000, an
increase of 81 900 above last year. The
direct basis of the clamor for a sheep
embargo is that scab Ga disorder with
which British flocks have been overrun
| for years. is said to have been discov-
cred in several shipments. A sheep
embargo would compel the finishing of
all sheep here, SO that they would be
ready for the butcher before shipment
from Canada, as Is now the case with
cattle. We understand that steps have
been taken at British ports of landing
| for largely increased Strengthening IA
cilities, which adds color to the news
that a permanent live stock embargo
Is on the tapis. The complaints Of the
British farmer have been many and
loud, and under cover of the crusade
against animal diseases with which
we must admit Britain has been sorely
affiicteO they will accord whatever adj
vantage may come from shutting out
all but finished stock, thus getting rid
OF the competition of an thrush of
cheap animals for feeding purposes, be-
sides, as they put it, closing one posi-
BILE avenue against disease.-Farmer's
Advocate, Canada.
The Growing Colt-Corn Is the poor
est grain food for growing colt, and is
usually as expensive as those which are

Manuring Vineyards.

i For long time the question has been
| discussed whether the vine could be
MANFRED without altering the quality
of the wine produced, and whether the
manure should be put directly into the
vineyard, or first decayed in the COM
post heap. 1t has been found, however;
that the vines can be safely and profit
ably MANFRED with fresh animal drop
pings, which should be dug or plowed
in as deeply as possible, as soon as the
vintage is over. When the manure is
applied in the autumn, or as early as
possible after the harvest, it will have
time to decay and all its soluble ingre-
dents will be evenly distributed
through the soil by means Of the rains,
and therefore it will become accessible
to all the roots of the vine the following
spring. AS soon as the soil can be
easily turned up after autumn rains
will thus be the best time to spread
manure, as when covered deeply no in
gradients beneficial to the vine can be
lost. There is, however, in some in
stances, an excess of ammonia in the
soil and manure present, and this will
produce rank growth of wood or vege-
table matter, and also influence the
fruit, and thus give to the wine bad
qualities, affecting its taste and lasting
power. The vignerons at Argenteuil,
near Paris, have been for years in the
habit of manuring their vines with the
street scrapings, with excellent results
Elk.
Phosphoric Acid in Vegetable Grow
ing-The deeper layers Of the soil are,
as fule, very deficient In active phos-
phoric acid (says Prof. Paul Wagner,
in a treatise on the application of arti-
fetal manures), and this may be re-
garded as one of the, chief reasons for
the phenomenon observed, that when
deep-rooted plants wines, fruit trees,
ornamental trees, shrubs, etc., arrive
at a certain age, they frequently sieken
and cease to develop. 1t is, therefore,
advisable to provide the lower layers
with a store Of Thomas phosphate Tor II
this Is not to be readily obtained, with
superphosphate). In laying out gar
dens, asparagus beds, vineyards, or

Senator IfiI was criticised for opposing
the PETER resolution 90 investigate the
bond sales. Some OF his critics went so
Ear as 10 ius-nuate that he was indirectly
stalbing tine administration because he
was anording ground for suspicion that
the administration was afraid TO have the
bonds sales investigated.
WHAT Senator Hm was doing was this.
He was defending the Democratic party.
1t was apparent to him that whether a
committee was appointed TO make the
invest gaton or the investigation was
made by the finance committee the purpose
was TO put the administration in a bad
light.
The populsts suggested the investiEa-
tion because they thought they could ind
material that would help the cause Of
free silver coinage. and the republicans
supported the populists because they saw
an opportunity of getting campaign ma
teriaL They wanted 10 show that bond
sales were necessary not 10 maintain the
gold reserve. but to meet the treasury de-
hciency. and that if the Mckinley tariff
had not been repealed there would have
been no deficiency. and consequently no
need for bond sales.
The investigation is to be made 10y the
finance committee. The administration
hasn't a friend on that committee. All
the democrats are IS to snverites. and
hence are against the administration.
They don't care about maintaining the
credit of the government.
While the administration has nothing
to fear from the investigation the report
viii be strongly against it. 1t viii be so
presented that it can be used against the
democratic party, and there is no doubt 1t
viii be so used The silver democrats have
helped TO furnish the republicans and the
populists with material with which to
fight the democratic party.
Senator Hn understood the purpose of
the resolution. He was not afraid Of any
facts being brought out by an investigation
that would show that the administration
was guilty of wrong doing, but he knew
that the facts could be twisted so that
they could be used to injure the democratic
party.
