The Short Check Rein.

To keep horse from putting his
heal down and eating or trying to
find something to eat-Tor, no differ
ence how we'll the horse is fed, when
he is harnessed and taken out he is
ready for bite of grass if ainable,
and that is not always pleasant--ths
check-rein is the resort, though many
times when using team on the road
the check-reins are dispensed with.
l prefer the side checks, as they are
far more agreeable to the horse and
will even better prevent the horse
from putting it's head to the ground
than the over-check when both are
loosely used.
The over-check wears off the name,
presses down on The head and helps
to keen it hot aud sometimes makes
sore places and mars the horses face.
But the over check may do if it is long
enough and does not have u separate
bit for it.
Some horses are so physically con-
structed with the neck high up on the
shoulders that their head is high
enough without a check-rein, willie
others may have low neck and not
carry the head we'll up, amino amount
of check-reins will add any grace to
their movements or beauty to their
carriage.
To see horses head drawn up out
of its natural position looks outlan.

they travel high. something after the
style Of blind horse, and they soon
get to travelling heavy: :hen their

invariably a slow walker and doesn't
care to trot unless urged-an1 who
can blame hin?-and Jet I nave
often noticed that al the short check
reins don't belong to the ungcdiy.
Kind reader, did you ever think that
when man was given dominion over
the beasts of The field that it was ex-
pected he would torture the faithful,
Woodworking animal with the short
check rein? Aud to see a horse with
two bits in his mouth, holding lips
apart. the saliva drooling ont. the
tongue dry, the lips chafed, gives
them very uninviting appearance.
My best plan to make a horse have
graceful carriage TO the head Is q
few more oats, or: il lie IS getting
enough Of them, arrange for a little
less work and get things II balance
again as soon as roil caa.
Tn a natural position is when the
horse appears at us best; it is then
he is best prepared to travel or pull
loads. In fact, find nothing IN
particular to recommend tie over
check above the sidecheck, not even
the cost of them. for | see by consult
ing some lists that The over-chcck costs
twenty per cent. more tian the side

Nations For SheNe,

For ground food mixture OF 100
pounds of corn meal. 100 pounds of
wheat bran and twenty-five pounds of
oil meal has been found very satisfac-
tory. Oats may Le substituted for the
bran with good results, if the quantity
of oil meal is slightly increased.
Ground corn and oats mixed in equal
proportions is not only good food;
but-a fattening one. To produce the
best results in fattening sheep they
ST. ould be regularly dipped during the
period. Corn is highly carbonaceous
food and can only be fed to sheep with
safety when given with bran or oil
meal. With such ration they may
be fed during the fattening period to
their full capacity, which would beun-
safe with ration wholly or mainly Of
corn

Scaly Legs,

As regards scaiy legs. tho remedy is
simple. The disease. il s;icI it may
he termed, being caused by small
parasites that bury themselves under
the skin and lay eggs there.
The feathered-leg fowls are most
subject to the affection, but even they
can be kept free Of it, if little care is
given.
After the rough scales have ap-
peared, catch the birds and wash the
legs thoroughly III warm water and
soap-using brush if necessary.
After this, rub the legs with a mixture
of one part sulphur and three parts
lard. Repeat the operation daily for
three days and the scales will .disap-
pear. A few drops Of kerosene added.
