Strike a Happy Medium.

In hungry hensthatt is, hens that
are always kept hungry there is no
money; but between a well-fed hen
and one that is overfed there is vast
difference. A hen that is made to
scratch for rything she eats is in
little danger of eating too much. Were
it not that fowls do not do well on an
exclusive diet Of grain, nothing should
be given but grain in the sheaf or
among straw or chat; as tits, however,
hen should have, in winter especially,
vegetables and bran. These must be
given in the form Of soft feed; always
ir the morning rather than at night,
and then not too liberal N allowances.

.ss Starving Them.
There is a golden mean in feeding an
imals which should be observed. There
is tendency where one takes pride in
horses to feed too much. The liberal
feeder should take especial pains to
provide abundant exercise. In the case
of a team reduced in flesh by hard la
Dor during summer and autumn feed
ing upsto recruit in winter Is essential.
Feeding alone, however, without mod
crate work leaves the creatures in
softened flesh, which vanishes before
the heavy work of spring.
If it is the intention to sell horses in
early spring they should by all means
be fed up to plump condition and the
muscles should be hardened by mod
crate work. The careful buyer inspects
more than the outside appearance. He
expects constitution and endurance as
well as clear sight and sound limbs.
Too often the gait of the colt is neg
lected, to the detriment of it's sale. Too
often striking. interfering and forging
will permanently impair the limbs or
feet, when by attention in time these
defects might have been permanently
cured by use of proper devices. The
expense of shoeing in the course of
years might also be much reduced
where the policy of prevention is adopt
ed in the early stages. Colts as we'll as
children may be corrected in faults of
carriage and gait, as we'll as other hab-
it's, and such training adds largely to
their value.
The teams intended for the regular
work of the coming season, if in fair
condition at this time, may be fed mod
erately in proportion to the exercise or
work performed in winter, and will be
in better condition for spring labor
than if overwhelmed. Winter grazing,
or, in lieu of this, ensilage, roots, vege-
tables, bran and other cooling rations
should be afforded every alternate day;
at least it is desirable to prevent any
feverish condition of the organs of di-
gestion. The occasional irritation
found in the disposition of the older
horses arises from neglect of proper
cooling diet in winter.-Farm and Fire

The Selection of Sheep.

At shearing time and during the
lambing period observations can be
made for wise culling of your flock
that will steadily improve it's grade.
Defects in weight and quality of clip
should be noted-age, condition of I'D
der, color and general condition-in
short, everything that affects value for
wool protection, breeding of the NUT
ton market. When these observations
are made the sheep at all Objectionable
for any reason may be marked in such
way as the owner or manager will
understand-and when sales are made
let these go: BY this means you pre-
serve the animals most valuable for all
the purposes of the owner, and by dis
carding all the inferior animals you
breed up to far higher grade the
average of your fock.-Wool Record.

The Crossinx of; Grains.

Great things are promised from the
discovery of the English scientist, Gas

grasses, grains and clovers, by which
new and surprising species are claimed
to have been produced. The cross be-
tween barley and oats, for instance, re-
suits in new and peculiar grain Of
permanent types. while comparatively
useless plants are, by judicious cross

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
yether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced!it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Charcoal Good for Hoxs.

f. Hogs that are fattening will often eat
charcoal quite greedi]y. That from
corn on the cob is probably the best,
as the cob contains a very considerable
amount of potash, which corrects the
acidity of the stomach. Corn is very
heavy and rich grain and hard Of di-
gestion for any animal. In the guam
titles that fattening hogs eat of corn
it is no wonder that the stomachs are
cloyed. A little charcoal will greatly
improve their appetite. Even hogs that
are not fattening will eat some char
coal. It has some nutrition and they
are in no danger Of eating too much

A Time-Honoreds Folly.

The time-honored practice of leaving
an egg always in the nest of laying
hens is time-honored folly. The hen
knows how to make an egg without
having model before. her-and we can
conceive of no other reason for having
nest egg. The writer abolished that
nest egg years ago, and the hens took
no offense. Perhaps the hen will lay
more without the nest egg, for seeing
the emptiness of the nest she may
be led to exert herself to supply the
deficiency. Perhaps, also, this is nom
sense; but it certainly is not more
nonsensical than great deal we see
