Eraueht Horses on tie Road.

The strength of the draught horse
enables him to make good time for
short sprint, despite the excess of
weight he carries But unless on soft
dirt roads fast driving of draught
horses should not be attempted, be-
cause the excess of weight makes the
pounding of the horses feet on the hard
surface all the more severe. 1t is we'll
known that heavy horses are quite apt
to have defective feet. This we believe
to be the cause. Kept to their appro-
pirate pace on the road and on the farm
draught horses will live and do good
service years after they are 20 years
old. 1t is nervous worry that shortens
life, rather than hard. muscular toll,
both in horses and In men.-Exchange.

Specific for Sheep scab.

Hot baths made by putting sulphur
in water are specific for scab in sheep.
1t is very infectious, and any sheep
having 1t should be kept by itself. The
bath will need to be repeated at inter-
walls of one or two days. for at least
three times, in order to destroy germs
that were not advanced enough for the
first application to kill. The Austria
liam sheep growers have succeeded in
eradicating scab from that country.
Now every sheep brought to Australia
has to submit to the bath once to de-
stroy possible germs that have not be-
come visible.

Farm Notes.

A Wisconsin farmer, who had some
Canada thistles on his farm, says he ex7
terminated them by cutting them off
an inch under ground and giving them
a dose of common salt.
A sheep should be caught by the hind
leg or by placing the arm under its neck
and never by the wool. To carry the
sheep. stand at its left, pass right arm
over, with hand resting under brisket
just back of fore legs, lift and grasp left
hind leg with left hand as you lift.
When snow is on the ground rabbits
have hard time securing food and will
eat anything that will prevent starva-
ton. 1t Is then that they girdle trees
and do damage which is not within the
power of the farmer to repair. Smear
ing the trunk with blood or wrapping
the trees with tarred paper or mosquito
netting two feet from the ground serves
as protection.
On many farms early lambs have al
ready appeared. and the object should
be to force them in growth as much as
possible. One of the best foods for
them, as soon as they are old enough to
eat, is ground oats. The ewes should
be fed not only grain and hay, but also
carrots, turnips and other succulent
food, so as to induce full supply of
milk.
The piles of stalks and straw which
go to waste can be made to do good
service in providing shelter If it is not
considered fit for feeding. With a few
posts and poles the stalks and straw
will furnish warm refuge for animals
that cannot be accommodated in the
barn or stable. With plenty of straw on
tne ground, under the covering so form
ed no better place could be arranged
for sheep, and with care in making the
roof only heavy storm will cause it to
leak.
Whenputting down drain tile it is bet
ter to take time and do it properly than
to slight the work, as any defect after
the tile is covered cannot be remedied
without incurring an extra expense,
and an obstruction is not easily located.
The tile should be so laid that the joints
will not be displaced and the bed OH
which the tile rests should be firm. If
the work is done intelligently, and in 2
manner to provide perfect drainage, the
tile should do service for many years
without getting out Of order.

Keeping Up Fertility.

One of the surest marks Of good
gardener is, that he always is on the
lookout to have on hand an ample sup
ply of fertilizing matter for the SOIL
How reasonable that is, and yet strange
to say one meets with persons who,
Judging only by their acts, seem to
think that plants do not need food.
They need it quite as much as do ami
mails; both grow from that on which
they feed. 1t is true all cultivated soil
contains some plant food in the shape
of vegetable humus, deposited there in
one way or another, in the past. But
the good gardener looks upon present
fertility as sort of revenue, and sees
to it that enough manure is applied to
the soil each year to meet the needs of
the current crops.
1t would be a lesson to some amateur
gardeners to visit the successful mar
ket gardens of our large cities and see
how, year after year, thick coats of
manure, thirty or forty tons to the acre,
are applied.-American Gardening.

A Second Experience.
Physicians Will Be Called in Future
By Mrs. HurIburt.
From the Republican, Fresno, Cal.


From the Republican, Fresno, Cal.
An interesting case comes from
Kingsburg, in Fresno county, Califor-
MIA. Mrs. Matte Hurlburt tells her
own story, and as she is lady who is
we'll and favorably known and well
worthy of credence, it will be found in
teresting:
"While I was living in Fresno City
in 1882 Mrs. Hurlburt said, .s'short-
ly after the birth of what was then my
youngest child, I began to lose all
strength and vitality, and was in very
serious condition. DIR. Hayden of
Fresno, had been attending me, but his
efforts to help me proved unavailing,
and was gradually growing worse,
though tried all the doctors and
remedies within reach. One day I
heard of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and I also read an adver-
tisement about these pills in newspa-
per, and made up my mind to give
them trial as dernier resort Il at
once procured supply, and took them
according to rule until had used four
boxes. By that time I was SO much
improved in every way that could do
my own housework and was in exu-
berant spirits at my returned health. /
felt splendidly until one year and a
half ago when another baby was born,
and was taken just as before, and
brought very low again. The attend
ing physician feared that my illness
this time would result seriously, but
he was not able to help me, SO I again
turned to DIR. Williams remedy,
and after taking two boxes was up
and about my work again. I shall
always keep Pink Pills in my house
from this time on, and shall turn to
to them alone for medical comfort in
the time of illness. (Signed)
"MATTIE HURLBURT."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in
condensed form, all the elements nee
essary to give new life and richness to

Good Clover Hay.

Glover hay is much better appreci-
ated than it used to be. While most
horsemen in cities are still shy of it,
the farmers know as they always have
done that in nutritious value it far
surpasses timothy or other grasses. 1t
contains more nitrogenous nutrition
than the grasses. This is what makes
it hard to cure without turning dark
colored, but the late clover crop, which
is always nearly black when got into
the barn, is for sheep, cows and calves
the best hay of all.

Sweet Corn.

There is a popular idea that sweet
corn is richer than common field corn.
In fact, they are chemically just the
same, the carbon In the sweet corn ap-
pearing as sugar and starch and in the
field corn as starch alone. The sweet
corn is most palatable, therefore prob
ably most digestible. As the sweet

seem to be good plan to grow field
corn for the main feed and enough
sweet corn to use as change, or when
the appetite for starchy food has been
cloyed. But oats or wheat middlings
would be better for this even than
would sweet corn.
